Thanks! I’ve added a screenshot of the gdb output to the blog

Thanks! This happened two years ago and it took me quite some time to piece together all the information of when it happened. I will see if I can get the original gdb output and add it to the blog post.
Re:Open Distro for Elasticsearch on Tuesday March 12, 2019 @04:46AM (#19366362)
and you know what? Elastic's cloud offering is shit. It's really expensive, it falls over every other week and their support is terrible.

AWS ElasticSearch is not great, but it's way better than Elastic.

Oh my yes, the quiet release of CRI-O by RedHat and Google recently was a pivotal moment. You can run a container orchestration environment in production without anything from Docker the company. You still need it to build and maybe host images but the rest is pluggable.

I'm not sure how you put GitHub in the mix to acquire Docker, they are not a very big company in terms of revenue (currently they talk about a $200m run rate, which is pitiful even compared to RedHat).

But I agree Microsoft is the most likely buyer. They are probably just waiting for the bottom to fall out for Docker and they can snap it up for the right price.

Re:Ask HN: How did you significantly reduce your AWS cost? on Monday October 30, 2017 @09:22PM (#15590460)
There's no one silver bullet, as always, you just have to get really good at using Cost Explorer.

Project 1: We reduced our EC2 bill by about $10k a month by moving to spot instances for our Continuous Integration servers

Project 2: We saved another $10k a month by moving to CloudFront for our downloads, instead of using S3 directly

Project 3: Finding and eliminating waste from years of tech debt. Saved $5k a month so far.

As we go we need to spend more and more time to find the same amount of cost savings, it's a law of diminishing returns.

No what I was saying was its ready for today in certain use cases. But only if you look at it as a long term transition and not a short term project

My googling failed on this account on the correct grammatical term.
