who decides on what is a "fact"?
a lot of things that you think is a fact, can be interpreted as just your opinion.
But have the state decide what can we be said and read will not result in something good for the normal people, with the exception of harmful speech.
Its quite difficult to find the line where harmful speech begins, since speech as a whole can be interpreted quite different.
science starts as opinions/theory until tested and proven :)
You need to setup k8s first if you not on google-cloud which is what terraform is often used. and there could be some initial tasks which some might use ansible for. but once k8s cluster running you can manage it without terraform/ansible for the most part (you still might want to change master/worker node specifics, which you do with terraform/ansible/nixos/nixops/...).
if you have issue with having updated packages and or dont like unneeded stuff in your containerbuild. use nixos `dockerTools.buildImage` (builder needs to be nixos machine but that should not be a problem) also i like `skopeo` to upload the image
why would anyone want to do that? you think your company is some kind of special place? ill just look for another job where i dont have to just ask for 1/2 of what i want...
i have been using AWS for many years across multiple companies now. Over the years i got the feeling that the quality has degraded. New services are half-baked (ES, EKS), some newer API's are overly complicated (VPC peering is overloaded for cross-account AND internal instead of 2 abstractions on top of it - why do i need to get confused about all these extra API args which are not needed for internal VPC peering and have to spend hours to finally understand it). Overall AWS feels that they got more sales focused.
i just started to get nightmares with Azure recently, luckily i was able to get rid of almost everything of it (only keyvault remains, since azure does for now have the best offering for HSM). The UI is absolute terrible from front-end caching bugs to strange permissions. MS seems to have to invent their own vocabulary for everything instead of using terminology that most of the rest of the internet uses (which makes finding things very hard), same goes for their API's, its almost impossible to use their API's without these super huge and often buggy libs (try to use REST API auth without a lib...). I am personally also having a hard time to read their documentation.
I did not had the chance to try GC yet but i want to. I know that google services sometimes can be a bit complex to start with, but there is good documentation and reference docs - its usually very easy to just use REST api if you dont wanna use some heavy libs. We recently moved to k8s (i am loving it - continues deploying apps with autoscaling and 0 downtime was never that easy), so as we move more into k8s i hopefully get the chance to try out GC
i have javascript disabled mostly to save bandwidth against nasty ads. Most sites that requires JS i usually ignore if possible (seriously why do some content provider think its ok to require JS?). For certain things like soon google login i do just whitelist them. But by default if i do not trust your site enough and/or its not that important in the end ill just close my tab
