Supply-chain scanning is live
Every container image running on this fleet is now scanned for known vulnerabilities, and the results are tracked in one place instead of living only in whatever tool happened to print them at build time. That answers a question this…
-
Status: workflow automation live, the gateway console behind SSO
Workflow automation joined the productivity tier, and the local language model gateway’s admin console is now reachable through single sign-on instead of a shared key. A photo library was also started, and stopped almost immediately by something smaller than a…
-
Status: the first services meant for people
Everything built so far has been infrastructure for the lab’s own benefit: gateways, tunnels, DNS, identity, monitoring, backups. Useful, and none of it something a person opens on purpose.
-
Status: the lab stops being one machine
The second physical server is online. For the first time this project is not one computer with a lot of ambition attached to it.
-
Status: the identity tier is up
Single sign-on is running. That is the tier everything above it has been waiting on since the architecture was written, and the one the runbooks warn against skipping in the strongest terms available.
-
Status: the loop is closed
The tunnel from the rented edge to the house is up and carrying traffic. That was the last structural piece of the original design never exercised end to end, and it has now been exercised in both directions.
-
Status: the first VMs, and the tier they unblock
Three virtual machines exist. After weeks of rented gateways and documents, something is finally running on hardware in the building.
-
Status: first contact with real hardware
Two things happened that had not happened before. The standby gateway in Europe exists, which completes the pair at the edge. And a physical server was brought online for the first time, which ended the long stretch of this project…
-
Status: alerting that can actually reach you
Two days on the public edge and no new hardware. The alerting path is now proven end to end rather than merely deployed, which is a distinction this project keeps having to relearn. It produced four more errata along the…
-
Status: tier one, the edge is up
First status update, so it doubles as a baseline: this is where the lab stands on the day the site went up.
