kouzanton Google Cloud in the list of 4 EU sovereign cloud providers

Unfortunately that's a sign that in Europe we are not ready yet to support ourselves. That said, there are great initiatives and I'm sure they'll come to fruition soon

kouzanton FOSDEM Without a PostgreSQL Devroom?

Probably but traditionally FOSDEM had a postgres devroom - and a mysql & friends room :)

kouzanton Intelligent Kubernetes Load Balancing at Databricks

Is this something that could be solved with Consul? Consul will return the IP address of the Pod(s) and it already hooks in Kubernetes liveness for failure detection. It also supports weighted results for more complex routing.

kouzanton Migrating from AWS to a European Cloud – How We Cut Costs by 62%

Sure but as soon as you cross the boundaries of your provider both cost and latency start to ramp up ;)

kouzanton Migrating from AWS to a European Cloud – How We Cut Costs by 62%

We use Hetzner internally for development. At the time of planning and migration Hetzner's Object Storage offering was not GA which was technically a deal breaker. Maybe we can consider Hetzner for our EU multi-cloud

kouzanton Migrating from AWS to a European Cloud – How We Cut Costs by 62%

You'd be surprised :) We had to migrate a few thousand projects and their feature data and users' custom images. It was substantial. (eng@Hopsworks)

A very nice chance listening industry leaders' ideas on this emerging area.

kouzanton Use Your Bike as a Backup to Your Backup Power Supply

Now that all races and events are collapsing under Covid, we could hook in pro cyclist and pay them to cycle. Win win situation

kouzanton Use Your Bike as a Backup to Your Backup Power Supply

I haven't done the maths but I have a feeling the jellys you need to eat to sustain that power output marginally cost more than the electricity you would consume otherwise.

kouzanton Do not install RVM until they fix the domain name and certificate issue

No it wouldn't have failed to GET. The domain is resolved correctly ...but in the wrong IP.

Very easily someone could upload a malware which would be piped to bash.
