Yesterday I explained you how a war in Ukraine will affect Europe in terms of food.
Today I will explain you how it will affect your comfort [thread]:
I’d you didn’t know - Ukraine average per hour rate is pretty low comparing to European. That’s why we do lots of outsourcing businesses. We have thousands of smart engineers who do work for US/EU businesses.
VM, Mercedes-Daimler, BMW uses Ukraine as an R&D centers.
Oracle, Microsoft, VMWare, EPAM, SoftServe, NIXSolutions run their biggest development centers in Ukraine.
Ukraine competes with 1.4B India in terms of IT products and services, but we are 35 times smaller!
Agriculture giants like Monsanto own businesses in Ukraine. Products of it being exported to the US and Europe.
I’m basically showing that cheaper workforce makes Ukraine attractive for business.
If I’d do a startup - I’d better do it in Ukraine, for sure.
Europe and the US are so dependent on Ukraine, they just can’t abandon us because there is no drop-in replacement options.
If Europe and the US wouldn’t fight for and with Ukraine - they will loose even more than they are loosing right now.

This is the first war in a modern world where we have more than just one physical frontier. As Ukrainian IT community we started another one - virtual. I’ll explain you how it works here in #Ukraine and abroad
[thread]:
#Ukraine has more than 160K IT specialists: hardware engineers, cloud engineers, software engineers, devops, architects, QA, etc.
We do have IT security folks known as Ukrainian Cyber Alliance (@UCA_ruhate_). They were the first ones who attacked #Russia’s IT infrastructure.
The reason why I love and hate #Kubernetes is it actually good platform to host scalable apps. But the road from developing the app to making it scalable is so painful. Here are few-reasons-why-thread:
#Kubernetes in its bare configuration can only host containers and let you talk to them. Include config maps, volumes, RBAC, etc.
If you ever wanted to scale your app on #Kubernetes you probably heard of MetricsServer - it can collect standard metrics like CPU and RAM of every pod/container.
It’s not a part of #k8s distribution - you need to install it separately.
