Micro services alone aren't enough. You have to have proper observability and automation to be able to gracefully handle the loss of some functionality. Microservice architecture isn't a silver bullet, but one piece of the puzzle to reliable highly available applications that can handle faults well
I can't disagree with this... After basing the size off of the vertical pixel count, we're now going to switch to the horizontal count to describe the resolution.
My 4 host machines run debian (proxmox). I have a lot of different guest flavors running though, debian, fedora, rocky, one old guest still running Ubuntu and even a mint sandbox machine.
I probably have a bit more complicated self host than others because I am using it both for my useful internal services (jellyfin, git, pihole, etc.) I also run a whole lot of services for learning, such as kubernetes and dns. Plus a whole lot of other mostly useless stuff that I only use to test different architectures or automations that come in handy as an SRE.
Dotnet core 4 never existed because they wanted to make it the mainline dotnet... That means framework is retired and everything is now the slimmer multiplatform runtime.
The worst is when you start to have conversations in your head in multiple voices. It gets crowded sometimes.
