Transcendence
My Spiritual Experiences with Pramukh Swamiji
by A.P.J. Abdul Kalam
with Arun Tiwari.
This is not a book review.
This article is just like
'key take away points' for me.
The book is divided in 4 parts. This article covers 1st part of the book.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part 1 Experiencing the presence
Tolerance of others' view and opinions is essential in building teams and accomplishing tasks that are beyond the individuals' capacities.
1.
Srimad Bhagavad Gita defines renunciation in a unique way: "One must renounce not the performance of deeds, but renounce the desire for the fruits of those actions."
2.
When things go smoothly and fall into place, you have most likely made the right choices so that the right event could come into your life. When your decisions of efforts encounter resistance or roadblocks, seriously re-examine the choices you have made.
"Who I really am".... can only be revealed when the mind is quiet and no longer telling me who I am. When all the preconceptions about myself are stilled, what remains is who I really am: consciousness, awareness, stillness, presence, peace, love, and the Divine. You are that which is nameless and yet has been given a thousand names.
3.
Harmony makes small things grow, lack of it makes great things decay.
When you go to a place of worships, you pray for peace and prosperity, not only for yourself but also for everyone around you.
Sulah meaning peace and peacemaking in Arabic.
Sulah is also the root of the word Islah denoting development and improvement.
4.
It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men
The empires of the future are the empires of the mind. Dream, dream, dream. Dreaming leads to thoughts. Thoughts lead to action.
"How can you mix spirituality and social service?"
Pramukh Swamiji asks, "How can you separate the two?"
5.
Success can only come to you by courageous devotion to the task in front of you... You will be remembered for creating the one page in the history of the nation - whether it is the page of invention, innovation, discovery or fighting injustice.
6.
The wise discipline themselves, the unwise discipline others
As long as there is the pull of gravity whatever you throw up is always going to come down. But once a rocket is out of the attraction of the Earth's gravity, it will not fall back and will escape into space. Likewise, as long as we are attracted and attached to
- the comforts of this body
- desires of the mind and
- the material world,
we are consigned to the cycle of births and deaths. There will be no escape. But as your wordly desires decreases, you transcend the pull of the world and eventually you connect to God.

Distributed Tracing FAQ
** Is tracing only for request-response pair? How tracing happens for
indication where response is not expected.
Zipkin
This is: One-way RPC Tracing. One-way is the same as normal RPC
tracing, except there is no response anticipated.
In normal RPC tracing 4 annotations are used: “cs” “sr” (request) then
“ss” “cr” (response). In one-way tracing, the first two are used “cs” “sr” as
there is no response returned to the caller.
So, the client adds “cs” to a span and reports it to zipkin. Then, the
server adds “sr” to the same span and reports it. Neither side add
Span.timestamp or duration because neither side know both when the span started
and finished.
CS = Client Send
SR = Server Receive
SS = Server Sent
CR = Client Receive
They are annotations for spans in Zipkin format
Jaeger
For asynchronous messaging communications: “span.kind” tag values are:
Producer and Consumer
For synchronous RPC communications: “span.kind” tag values are: Client
and Server
The span.kind=server tag denotes an entry span, e.g. a span created in
the local code in response to an external request. Likewise, span.kind=client
denotes an exit span, e.g. a call made from the local code to another server.
** At ‘Istio service mesh’, does ‘Envoy sidecar proxy’ add ‘B3 headers’
for incoming message or outgoing message,
For incoming message.
** What if some of the microservices use Zipkin format and new
microservices use Jaeger format at K8s cluster?
Jaeger provides backward compatibility. So, just need to route ‘Zipkin
format data’ from ‘legacy services’ to ‘Jaeger backend’ using ‘zipkin
collector’
Backwards compatibility with Zipkin
Although we recommend instrumenting applications with OpenTracing API and
binding to Jaeger client libraries to benefit from advanced features not
available elsewhere, if your organization has already invested in the
instrumentation using Zipkin libraries, you do not have to rewrite all that
code. Jaeger provides backwards compatibility with Zipkin by accepting spans in
Zipkin formats (Thrift or JSON v1/v2) over HTTP. Switching from Zipkin backend
is just a matter of routing the traffic from Zipkin libraries to the Jaeger
backend.
** The ‘Envoy sidecar proxy’ at ‘Istio Service Mesh’ sends collected
span data (JSON format) to Jaeger Collector. It it for incoming message or
outgoing message?
The ‘Envoy sidecar proxy’ sends a single span (JSON format), asynchronously,
anytime, after receiving response for the request which was originated by
application.
** Can we bypass Jaeger Agent?
Yes for C++ Jaeger ClientLib.
** Can Jaeger Collector work on UDP?
No.
** How to use Baggage in Jaeger headers?
Key: uberctx-{baggage-key}
Value: url-encoded string
** How to use Baggage in Zipkin B3 header?
baggage-:
The support is only for Java and Go languages
** What is thrift
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_Thrift. It is for RPC with format
like: JSON, Binary etc.
** what is TChannel?
It is a protocol over TCP for RPC
** Does Zipkin supports binary/compress format?
Zipkin can work on TChannel. It also supports compact Thrift format.
However, Jaeger is better as being CNCF project.
** TChannel, Thrift, or its combination, which one is better?
Now, Jaeger collector supports gRPC as well. gRPC can be even better
choice.
** Wild card query is supported at Jaeger UI?
No, due to limitations of other storage implementations. However, one
can use Kibana + Elastic Search for the same.
Programming Kubernetes - I
Meetup Event : https://www.meetup.com/
* Only API server interact with etcd
* Extend K8s
1. Extend life cycle of API server by adding new controller
2. add more APIs : by adding new API resource types and by adding CRDs
3. cluster daemons for automation. E.g. collecting metrics
4. cluster assist to extend functionality. E.g. SSL certificate manager.
* Action or commands on K8s resources
1 create
2 read
- get
- list
- watch
3 update
- patch
- replace
4 delete
Here are all such actions/command on Deployment resource
https://github.com/kubernetes/client-go/blob/master/kubernetes/typed/apps/v1/deployment.go
* API
apis/// /resource
Short form : GVR = group, version, resource
Possible versions:
Alpha (v1alpha1)
Beta (v1beata1)
Stable (v1)
* Few useful commands
kubectl api version
kubectl api-resource
we can get short names
kubectl get --raw
* KIND used at YAML file is corrosponding to golang type. For any built-in K8s object:
1. https://github.com/kubernetes/api/blob/master///types.go has multiple struct in Go langugae corrpospond to each K8s object at YAML file.
2. https://github.com/kubernetes/client-go/tree/master/kubernetes/typed// folder has multiple files. Each file is corrsoponding to one K8s object.
* K8s support for client library implemented in many languages:
Official support for : Go, Python, Java, DotNet, JavaScript, Haskell
Many more language supported by community implementaiton
Please refer: https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/using-api/client-libraries/ The source code is available at https://github.com/kubernetes-client
Out of all of them: client-go has cache and many more features. Kubectl and prometheus-operator also internally use client-go library. Important packages / utilities of client-go library are described at blog https://itnext.io/how-to-
* Flatcar Linux:
- an immutable Linux distribution for containers.
- a friendly fork of CoreOS’s Container Linux and as such, compatible with it.
- a self-updating operating system
- It is designed for containers, making it ideal for running Kubernetes and other container platforms.
- It aims to be an independently built, distributed, and supported Linux distribution designed for container workloads.
Reference : https://www.flatcar-linux.org/
* apimachienry
- Scheme, typing, encoding, decoding, and conversion packages for Kubernetes and Kubernetes-like API objects.
- This library is a shared dependency for servers and clients to work with Kubernetes API infrastructure without direct type dependencies.
- Its first consumers are k8s.io/kubernetes, k8s.io/client-go, and k8s.io/apiserver.
* "~/.kube/config" path has all the security related file to interface with K8s master node (or minikybe) kubeconfig has context
* controller uses service account. secreat is mounted inside pod
* jq is a lightweight and flexible command-line JSON processor. It is like sed for JSON. Reference : https://stedolan.github.io/jq/
* YAML file consists
1. api version
2. kind
3. matadata
4. spec
5. status
everything under metadata is in type of go language

* Extend K8s
1. Extend life cycle of API server by adding new controller
2. add more APIs : by adding new API resource types and by adding CRDs
3. cluster daemons for automation. E.g. collecting metrics
4. cluster assist to extend functionality. E.g. SSL certificate manager.
* Action or commands on K8s resources
1 create
2 read
- get
- list
- watch
3 update
- patch
- replace
4 delete
Here are all such actions/command on Deployment resource
https://github.com/kubernetes/client-go/blob/master/kubernetes/typed/apps/v1/deployment.go
* API
apis/
Short form : GVR = group, version, resource
Possible versions:
Alpha (v1alpha1)
Beta (v1beata1)
Stable (v1)
* Few useful commands
kubectl api version
kubectl api-resource
we can get short names
kubectl get --raw
* KIND used at YAML file is corrosponding to golang type. For any built-in K8s object:
1. https://github.com/kubernetes/api/blob/master/
2. https://github.com/kubernetes/client-go/tree/master/kubernetes/typed/
* K8s support for client library implemented in many languages:
Official support for : Go, Python, Java, DotNet, JavaScript, Haskell
Many more language supported by community implementaiton
Please refer: https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/using-api/client-libraries/ The source code is available at https://github.com/kubernetes-client
Out of all of them: client-go has cache and many more features. Kubectl and prometheus-operator also internally use client-go library. Important packages / utilities of client-go library are described at blog https://itnext.io/how-to-
* Flatcar Linux:
- an immutable Linux distribution for containers.
- a friendly fork of CoreOS’s Container Linux and as such, compatible with it.
- a self-updating operating system
- It is designed for containers, making it ideal for running Kubernetes and other container platforms.
- It aims to be an independently built, distributed, and supported Linux distribution designed for container workloads.
Reference : https://www.flatcar-linux.org/
* apimachienry
- Scheme, typing, encoding, decoding, and conversion packages for Kubernetes and Kubernetes-like API objects.
- This library is a shared dependency for servers and clients to work with Kubernetes API infrastructure without direct type dependencies.
- Its first consumers are k8s.io/kubernetes, k8s.io/client-go, and k8s.io/apiserver.
* "~/.kube/config" path has all the security related file to interface with K8s master node (or minikybe) kubeconfig has context
* controller uses service account. secreat is mounted inside pod
* jq is a lightweight and flexible command-line JSON processor. It is like sed for JSON. Reference : https://stedolan.github.io/jq/
* YAML file consists
1. api version
2. kind
3. matadata
4. spec
5. status
everything under metadata is in type of go language
