Why not just 1234-human-sense? You have both type of info there and it's easy to parse too I think.

Yeah, sorry, I think I was a bit confusing: that's exactly what I'm doing. For example, an Epic folder is laid out like this:

    EPIC-123
    ├─── user-stories
    │    └─── STORY-234
    └─── user-stories-with-summary
         └─── STORY-234-add-support-for-feature-a

I've been using a .rsync-filter file for something like what you mean for ages for my homedirs backups. It's a bit tricky probably to make it right the first time but once it's there it just works.

I do. Deploys can only be rolled out if the tag was signed by a well known list of people (git pull --verify-signatures).

That's why I'm still using munin, even for kubernetes clusters, even after 20 years in the business, if I should need a plugin that I wrote back then it would still work!

And I can monitor a whole k8s cluster (around 70 nodes) using 100MB of mem and 3G for storage (up to 1 year).

Keep it simple!!

It’s only simple because it’s something you already understand - that word doesn’t really mean anything

[jrms → klysm]

That's correct! Keep it simple, for yourself!!

I love munin and I’d rather do Perl with it than the other shit

I still do like 80% of my daily work from a terminal

It's just one click and hopefully a password away. I use "personal CAs" everywhere, if you share the p12 file via a webserver it's installed by the browser when you click on the link, and share the password over phone or another medium.

Try both and pick the one you like the most
