<p>I have had experiences where you do video interviews. When interviewing the audio is off and what is happening is the person answering is on speaker phone and the guy you are looking at is pretending to talk.<p>The simplest way to discover is ask the color of your shirt.</p>

<p>Before you even get to the CNI, I think AWS VM to internet is at least 3 NAT layers.<p>So we have 3 layers from container to pod. The virtual host kernel is tracking those layers. Once connection to one container is 3 tracked connections. Then you have whatever else you put on top to go in and out of the internet.<p>The funny think to me is HaProxy recommended getting rid of connection tracking for performance while everyone is doubling down on that alone and calling it performant.</p>

<p>Are you talking about the cloud host to cloud host networking or the POD networking inside the single host ?<p>The dizzying amount of NAT layers has to be killing performance. I haven't had the chance to ever sit down and unravel a system running a good load. The lack of TCP tuning combined with the required connection tracking is interesting to think about</p>

<p>Well, lets look at society.<p>We have the rich who use the govt to oppress the people and preserve their wealth.<p>We have the poor who think the govt will help them<p>We have a large group of people who just want to work to survive<p>What rules would you put in place and how would you go about doing that to ensure the rich / powerful didnt corrupt the system ?<p>The US was designed with a constitution defining the rules a govt could work within and the bill of rights was added to ensure the govt didnt enroach on the peoples rights so they could control the govt<p>This design failed as did all the rest... why ?<p>Because people are inherently lazy and dont want to be bothered. So you think its better to simply feed these folks and ensure they are ok will somehow motivate them to work ?<p>Capitalism works better than most systems and in fact many of the so called socialist countries arent. They are capitalist countries that have strong social programs funded by said capitalism<p>Perhaps instead of letting the govt get away with violating the rules it was bound by we start enforcing the rules ?</p>

<p>>And yes I've seen the diagrams and the theory behind this. But I've become more and more suspicious of bureaucracy and process that tries to fight the symptoms of lack of trust and human connection.<p>This resonates but what I have seen is when you engage a company that has this model you have to emulate their model to fit within their needs, then you get infected with it.</p>
