Hi everyone. I'm wondering where everyone stores their projects in order to show case them on your linkedin profile. Github?

Hi everyone,

I manage a high-volume data warehouse in BigQuery, and controlling costs has become increasingly challenging. I recently noticed monthly spend climbing significantly due to inefficient query patterns, costly joins, and frequent data pulls across our team. I’ve tried using INFORMATION_SCHEMA.JOBS for tracking, but I’m exploring more streamlined ways to identify and optimize costly queries or receive alerts when certain thresholds are hit.

For those with similar issues:

• What’s worked well for you?
• Have you built custom tools, applied query optimizations, or set up specific monitoring dashboards?
• Any real-world experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Tired of managing Non-Human Identities (NHIs) like access keys, client IDs/secrets, and service account keys for cross-cloud connectivity? This project eliminates the need for them, making your multi-cloud environment more secure and easier to manage.

With these end-to-end Terraform templates, you can set up secure, cross-cloud connections seamlessly between:

• AWS ↔ Azure
• AWS ↔ GCP
• Azure ↔ GCP

The project also includes demo videos showing how the setup is done end-to-end with just one click.

Hey Reddit crew, I need your opinion:

I never paid Azure egress fees myself. I guess the websites I run are too small to go over 100Gb of downstream in a month.

I thought it should be the general case (websites that don't go over the free limits). Nevertheless, I often hear complaints about egress fees, such as that they make budgets too unpredictable; or specific cases like https://basecamp.com/cloud-exit

Does it apply to large companies/popular websites only? Or do they bother startups and small companies as well?

Hey,

is there any cloud service that hosts a VM for me to install a Windows 7?
Don't need a lot CPU or RAM and I only need it for 2-3 weeks.

Reason: a friend only has a corporate owned laptop using win 11, he can't install software himself, so also no local VM.
I need him to use an old software that only runs on win 7 and my idea was to prepare a cloud-based/web-hosted VM for that purpose.

Hello all, I'm asking this due to feeling a bit stuck on my current path in I.T. currently. I'm currently in a support role and I learn/ build small things on the side ( not anything special maybe like a microservice / calculator for a game I play ), thought I'm transitioning into Cloud.

I started with GCP and im currently learning the cloud CLI though I know it is the most niche of the three and eventually will compare and contrast the others, though im wondering what all encompasses cloud roles.

What do I need to REALLY make sure for certain I know fairly decent enough before heading into a role like

Cloud Support Cloud engineer etc

terraform? Just knowledge of the services? Do I HAVE to know code proficiently? scripting?

I know it is not as simple as click ops so id actually love get feedback on what EXACT skills to learn ~

If you are currently working as one, could you go into detail about your workflow...since nobody seems to in this field.

I have like ~$200k+ in cloud credits on one provider but my company is shutting down due to founder issues. Any fun ideas to do with them? Pretty burnt out so probably won't start a new one for a bit. They expire in like 11 months and don't want them to go to waste

Sorry if this is the wrong sub, but I’m just curious which is better for my video game.

I’m developing an open world game, like GTA V, and thus want to use dedicated servers for players to connect to. I’m not sure if Google is worth as most of my workflow is thrifty them, or Microsoft has they own their own game studio, Xbox games studios, finally as a last resort, I don’t want to use Amazon, but are they good for this?

Hi,

What tools would I need to develop my own personal Cloud to Cloud Transfer Service/app online especially for transfer of files between Googledrive, Onedrive, or Dropbox? I plan to buy a webhosting and a domain of my own.

Further, will I need any periodic subscription of any kind apart from webhosting and a domain registration?

Thanks and regards,

Please explain to me as if I am a child, or a golden retriever.

I have had a paid Google account for business, mostly for cloud storage of all my files, for a number of years and am now retired. I am thinking of switching to save a bit of money. Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone! 👋

We are developing a new Terraform visualization tool, and we'd love to hear your thoughts. The tool aims to solve several pain points that many of us face when managing infrastructure using Terraform. Your feedback would be super valuable to refine the idea and see if it’s something you'd actually find useful!

Here’s what it does:

Pain points it solves:

• No easy way to visualize infrastructure: It generates a real-time graph of your Terraform resources, showing relationships and dependencies.
• Cloud cost visibility: It provides detailed cost breakdowns (monthly/yearly) for each component and the whole environment.
• Outdated resources: It detects and alerts for outdated Terraform modules and providers.
• Sync with version control: Integrates with VCS (like GitHub) and updates the visualization and cost estimates automatically after each commit, ensuring your view is always up-to-date.
• Design and generate Terraform code: You can create a desired infrastructure visually using drag-and-drop and generate Terraform code from it, making it easier to build and deploy your cloud resources.

What’s in it for you?

• Simplified infrastructure management: Get a clear view of even the most complex cloud setups.
• Optimize costs: Know exactly where your money is going and avoid surprises in cloud bills.
• Boost productivity: Spend less time troubleshooting and designing infrastructure manually.
• Security and performance: Stay ahead by keeping Terraform modules and providers up-to-date.

How would you use it?

• For Individuals: Freelancers or small DevOps teams can use it for better cost control, quick visualizations, and easy infrastructure planning.
• For Enterprises: Larger companies can manage multi-cloud environments, integrate it with CI/CD pipelines, and keep infrastructure continuously optimized and secure.

What do you think?

Would a tool like this be helpful to you? What features would you love to see? Do you see any blockers that would prevent you from using it? We'd love to hear your thoughts, feedback, and suggestions!

Thank you in advance for taking the time to share your thoughts! Your feedback will help shape the direction of this tool and determine whether it can provide real value to the community. 😊

I tried to archive multiple YouTube videos on Ghostarchive.org , but I'm having difficulties since they are stuck in a loading screen (aka, the "Archiving in progress....." screen) for almost a month, and they are still not archived. Can someone tell me why is this happening?

Before you guys ask that this doesn't belong here, I tried to post it on DataHoarder and Piracy subreddits, but it got automatically removed by the automoderator, unfortunately. :(

I need a remote desktop for around 1-2 months in order to work on some LiDar data(I'm writing my thesis) . I need 2-4gb of gpu memory and I don't have anything near that on my pc. My university won't supply me with hardware ofc. I need a fairly good cpu, the gpu specs listed above and an affordable price. What would you recommend. PS . I'm no computer wiz so I'd like a simple solution.

https://www.infoq.com/articles/cell-based-architecture-distributed-systems/

Cell-based architecture has emerged as a response to many challenges associated with distributed systems. It employs the bulkhead pattern to isolate failures to a fraction of the affected infrastructure footprint and prevent widespread impact. Cells can also help organize large architectures into domain-bound deployment and delivery units, which provides essential sociotechnical benefits.

I'm new to the cloud and work in business, but I had this idea of becoming well-versed in different cloud vendors (AWS, Azure, GCP) to be more marketable and as a hobby, but I am not looking to get into the market right now.

I just got my AWS SAA to familiarize myself with AWS, and I'm planning to familiarize myself with Azure next.

How much in-depth should one go for each vendor i.e. is SAA enough or should I go for other associates and professional certs before jumping on to another vendor?

I'm wanting to build a cloud server for purposes of cloud storage. I have the opportunity to build it on a PowerEdge R730, T630, or Precision Tower 5810. I'm brand new to this so any help would be great.

Can you suggest me any resource/playlist from where I can cover these topics, little in detail?

Hey cloud fellas, I'm new to cloud computing (I migrated from networking), and I wanna know what's the difference between the AWS CLF C01 and the CLF C02...

Hello Guys, I am studying the idea of doing my graduation project under the title of using machine learning to optimize cloud services. Anyway, my inquiry is what is the cheapest way to test and simulate my work throughout the project. It is not feasible for me to buy Azure or AWS subscriptions to simulate cpu and memory usages and other parameters. So, is there any other simulation tool or platform that is cheaper and can serve as a realistic simulation so that I am guaranteed similar results when transferring to well known cloud providers like azure or AWS? Thanks for your time!

this is almost a repost of a previous post made by someone last year, but the context still stands.

I was recommended by a senior in the industry to study up on either AWS or Azure and get certificates from them as I will end up learning most. I am more geared towards Machine learning, data, or AI in general due to previous experience but am willing to pivot off to anything as I am still a student. Your reviews would be appreciated.

As cloud computing continues to evolve, how do you envision the integration of AI and machine learning shaping the future of cloud services? Specifically, what advancements do you anticipate in areas such as automation, data analytics, and security, and how might these changes impact businesses and developers in leveraging cloud infrastructure?

Founders… what are the cons of getting free cloud credits from the hyperscalers?

Hi everyone

I'm researching the best option for sharing media (mostly images but some short video) for a non-profit sports club.

We have three sections who run separate social media accounts. They're always looking for good images for those accounts, but have no centralised library for them. Individual members often take good photos on their phones and occasionally share them, and of course there are the competitions and tournaments too. We need some form of central online storage.

So I'm hoping to find a cloud solution which will allow the following:

• Unlimited users/collaborators
• Simple upload/download interface for use on all operating systems
• Large storage capacity
• Online media preview (so users can see what is available)
• Folders to organise media into sections

We don’t need:

• A public online presence
• The ability to sell media to the public
• An expensive subscription service aimed at large businesses

As it stands, this online library will not contain anything which is commercially sensitive. Its primary use will be to allow individuals and social media managers to share images and, ideally, video so that all media are in the same place and accessible to authorised users.

I've had a look at services such as pCloud (and similar) and the stumbling block in all cases seems to be the need for multiple users to have access, both for uploading and downloading.

I've seen this on offer at Mashable at a huge discount. As far as I can see it would do what we need, but the discount makes me slightly suspicious! So I'm wondering (a) if anyone has experience of using FileJump and (b) whether there is another service out that does what we need at a price a cash-strapped not-for-profit can afford!

Hi everyone, I’ve been working with GCP and AWS for years and I would say I have a fairly strong grip on them conceptually. However, more jobs appear to be asking for Azure, and I was wondering how difficult it would be to pick up Azure if I’m already familiar with GCP and AWS. Please be kind. Thank you

As a developer using the cloud, what would be the tipping feature that would convince you to use a decentralised cloud platform (a cloud which nodes are computers from other users, not owned by a single company).

Here are some of the top of my head:

• Privacy and security (no peeking on my compute)
• Performance parity with public cloud
• Cheaper cost than public cloud

What do you think?

I'm trying to understand the technical differences between cloud services such as AWS, Amazon, Goodle Cloud, IBM Cloud etc.

I'd like to first see which one is the most used. Would it make sense to find a source that lists them and orders them by revenue? Can I make a conclusion that the one that's sold the most will also have the most money pumped into it's development, therefore will be most advanced? And which source is reliable?

And is there something similar for the technical differences and pricing?

Googled it, but I'm confused with so many results that it seems I need something specific that's probably known to experts in this sub. Cheers.
