The Operator: Firing the Shots That Killed Osama Bin Laden and My Years as a Seal Team Warrior

Product Information

Este es un libro pacifista, pero es un libro pacifista con información desde dentro, siguiendo a los generales que dirigen las operaciones, a los diplomáticos que se reunen en hoteles en grandes capitales, a los representantes en el Capitolio y la Casa Blanca. Y es un libro pacifista porque "The operators" explica lo absurdo de la Guerra contra el Terror que tuvo lugar entre 2001 y 2011 (algun@s dirán que todavía sigue) en Iraq y Afganistán. Una guerra que se produjo por un mega ataque terrorista que causó 3.000 muertos, y que solo en bajas militares (muertos y heridos) de los EE.UU se cobró más de 45.000. Una guerra que ha costado miles y miles de millones de dólares y que ha conseguido muy poco. I know now it wasn’t just that. I’d just finished my first year of college basketball and was feeling burned-out. Not with playing but with the concept of practice, practice, school, and practice. The grind probably wouldn’t have gotten to me if it hadn’t been for the girl. I couldn’t seem to get over her, and she was still in town—I could bump into her anywhere. I knew I didn’t want to find myself on a barstool at Maloney’s every night drinking to forget. I could already imagine the rut I could dig. It was time to do something.

I said, “Because Marines have the best snipers in the world. I want to be a sniper because I grew up hunting.” He just nodded and said, “Look no further. We have snipers in the Navy. All you need to do is become a Navy SEAL.” That took me two hours to write, and I think it’s still crap. I planned to also write about the shady circumstances surrounding Hastings’ death (muuuurrrrrdddeeeeerrrrr most foul??). Am I now a conspiracy theorist? What is the Truth? And then the whole cyclical, brain-melting thing about perspective, and Trump’s comparing the US gov. to Putin, and Fake News, and reality all starts up again so I can’t write anything coherent. Our simple web application Operator could provide insights about the performance of the Operand. Requests to the app would provide information about the current and historic load on the cluster. Additionally, since the Operator can identify failed states at this point, it could trigger an alert when the application is unhealthy. Many alerts would indicate a reliability issue that would gain the attention of an administrator. My mom and dad maintained a cooperative, cordial relationship throughout my childhood. If they had any big problems with each other, they never let my siblings or me see it. The split living was actually good for my parents. My mom worked at the junior high, which was next to the high school so she could get us to school and home. She loved being a mom, but she got every other weekend off to go out on the town with her crazy, fun, and hot friends Lynn and Sue. I remember them sitting at my mom’s kitchen table, sipping daiquiris and talking about what went down on Saturday night. It was too much for my tender junior high ears. I was in the next room and I had to low crawl my ass out the front door because I couldn’t take it. My first mission. I didn’t even know how to swim. But the way I thought about it was, “Hey, I’m kind of naïve, but this guy’s a professional recruiter. Why’s he going to lie to me?”I like my artists and musicians, poets and philosophers (even the stray physicist or mathematician) to have frequented his city’s red light district in his youth, but when our public servants act like giddy adolescents, whether on the people’s dime or off, I’m concerned less about moral deterioration and more about professional competency. Each of these pillars provides distinct functions that aid in the development of Operators. Together, they comprise the foundation of the Operator Framework. Utilization of these pillars is the key distinguishing factor between an Operator and a normal Kubernetes controller. To summarize, while every Operator is essentially a controller, not every controller is an Operator. Applying Operator capabilities We’d been bombarded with hagiographic profiles and heroic narratives of almost all our military leaders…Here, I realized, was a chance to tell a different story, to capture what the men running the war actually said and did. What I’d been seeing and hearing was distinctly human: frustration, arrogance, getting smashed, letting off stress” (74).

Vivian may be mortified, but she isn’t going to take this lying down. She’s going to get to the bottom of that rumor—get into it, get under it, poke around in the corners. Find every last bit. Vivian wants the truth, no matter how painful it may be. The ability to manage clustered Operands, and—specifically—support for adding and removing members to and from Operands. The Operator should be capable of considering quorum for Operands that run multiple replicas. There was nothing wild or terrifying about this story. It was your typical story of civil-military strife during a conflict. The Operators was simply a journalist's look as an outsider into the workings of the military. Worse, the author, the recently-deceased Michael Hastings, contradicted himself repeated throughout the story, trying to play the selfless journalist looking out for America's best interest.We began this chapter by examining some of the problems that arise when manually managing applications and clusters without Operators. This was done through the lens of a simple generic web application based on a couple of Pods and a Persistent Volume. The main difficulties in managing something such as this include the time and resources required to debug applications. This is especially important in cloud applications, where high availability ( HA) and consistent uptime are top priorities. A clever, surprising, and ultimately moving debut novel, set in a small Midwestern town in the early 1950s, about a nosy switchboard operator who overhears gossip involving her Any Operator that implements one or more of these features can be considered to be at least a Level III Operator. The simple web application Operator could take advantage of a few of these, such as DR and scaling. As the user base grows and resources demands increase, an administrator could instruct the Operator to scale the application with additional replica Pods to handle the increased load.
