Completed Python Flask Zero-Code Instrumentation with label fixes!
Now integrating Otel config with Beanstalk AMI, exploring custom AMI vs .ebextensions.
Also kicked off GitOps for Docker in Homelab using Selfhosted GitHub Actions, Doppler & Komodo.

Since Zookeeper is deprecated in the new Kafka release, we're not jumping straight to KRaft. Instead, we're first migrating to Kafka (N-1) + Zookeeper with MirrorMaker. This gives us time to evaluate KRaft migration for prod.

Got AWS & Azure S2S VPN working using Terraform! Super helpful for migration scenarios. Also tested both TCP & HTTPS traffic over Tailscale tunnel in K8s. Next up: exposing Traefik services via Tailscale with labels.

Finished optimizing and tuning my helmUtils shared library, added param prechecks, kubeconfig validation, and support for helm dependency build. Also worked on TF code for Azure↔️AWS S2S VPN.
Hoping to wrap it up tonight!
