#ocir

                             the day begins with a rude opening salvo.

 “knock knock knock knock knock”

“do you have a cigarette? ”

                                                  “no.”

          mayhaps, i should lie about things that matter instead of things that don’t.

 it’s just after dawn. the light from the window is already warm and foreboding. it’s going to be a long, hot, miserable fucking day - full of weird work and strange angles. my own personal summer of love, with all its prose and promise, is barely a memory now. the glass has shattered. those moments...still-frames that rise out of the blue show up here and there – in between the static and the noise. it seems like a riddle or a mystery or a storyboard. for all my bravado, it seems, on most days, to be more than i can handle.

                                         but sometimes…

i become something a little better than human. i am calm and electric. i feel as though i can sway the will of god, and cause every beast of the field to cater to my whims.

                                        today is one of those days.

                                               it is 7:34 a.m.

big doings in the 423. apparently, according to the local rag, sammy kershaw is headlining the festivities at the annual and obligitary 4th of july celebration. and though i would probably never lend a hand to such a conspiracy, i have to admit that it would be funny if ol’ sammy choked on a plug of levi garrett and dropped dead right there on the fucking stage.

                that would be something worthy of recreational explosives

                          but alas, it is 7:43 a.m. - and the world is quiet.

Kubernetes Deployment – pulling from OCI Registry (OCIR)

The following isn’t unique to OCIR, as it will hold true for any K8s Deployment YAML configuration that works with an Open Container Initiative compliant registry. To define the containers part of the YAML file we need to provide an attribute that can be used to confirm the legitimacy of the request. To do this we need to supply a token. However, we don’t want this token to be visible in plain…

Container Registry – pushing and storing containers

A container registry is as essential as a Kubernetes service as you want to manage the deployable resources. That registry could be the public Docker repository or something else. In most people’s cases the registry needs to be private as you don’t want to expose your product assets to potential external tampering. As a result, we need a service such as Oracle’s container registry OCIR. The re…
