Looking forward to the next paper on this. Hopefully debuting the FaceBack app!

Worked for a large SaaS provider and the cell based architecture was seen as “too cumbersome” and less cost efficient. Ultimately, cell based architectures can be great for the reasons they mentioned, they just need a bit more tooling around them to prevent operational toil.
Seeing this kind of image generation limited to M series Macs just goes to show how far ahead Apple is in the notebook GPU game.

He said that he is using ArgoCD. I listen more about ArgoCD and less about Spinnaker over the years.
Is anyone using Spinnaker to do K8s deployments in 2022?
Yes, but not by choice. Spinnaker is definitely the equivalent of docker-swarm, at best. Okay in some aspects and the idea is there, but it’s clunky and doesn’t scale well with multiple applications and teams.

I know there are many of these cables that have been around for years, but I am curious how are they physically secured? Especially where they transit from ocean to land? Is there some long underground/sea tunnel of conduit that the cable is routed through to the basement of some building? Or if you are walking along the beach somewhere is there just some cable running out of the ocean along the beach to some building near the shore?
I also wonder what kind of permissions and licenses you need to seek to run a cable across the ocean floor?
You’re spot on. Most of the cables are either laid on the sea floor and up to a beach, or buried underneath beaches. The following link has some good background on what goes into laying cables and how they terminate.

As for physical security, there isn’t much on the sea floor. There are various instances of nation states tapping cables due to the ease of access when it comes to actually “listening” to the data. Obviously the issue there is getting to the undersea cable.
