Getting a shell on each node

I run several K8S cluster on EKS and by default do not setup inbound SSH to the nodes. Sometimes I need to get into each node to check things or run a one-off tool.

Rather than update my terraform, rebuild the launch templates and redeploy brand new nodes, I decided to use kubernetes to access each node directly.

How to change your commit messages in Git?

At some point you’ll find yourself in a situation where you need edit a commit message. That commit might already be pushed or not, be the most recent or burried below 10 other commits, but fear not, git has your back 🙂.

Not pushed + most recent commit:

git commit --amend

This will open your $EDITOR and let you change the message. Continue with your usual git push origin master.
