Any course that would help me reach a level of proficiency to architecture such a complex architecture?

https://youtu.be/Rgx8dpiPwpA?t=224

​

I am a full stack, I am a "senior" developer, but I am light years from being able to architecture a system that's as highly scalable and complex like the one shown in the video, so could you maybe recommend some video tutorials that would help me reach that goal some day?

CI/CD as a NO-CODE Service (Start-up idea validation)

Hey guys,

I have following idea for a startup and wanted to ask your opinion about it. I am not a pro in creating CI/CD pipelines. For some small project of mine I had to invest a lot of time to get my application built and deployed. And most of my projects have the same steps, which had to be configured again and again. I mean you have to execute tests, package/compile, dockerize your app and to deploy it to some registry. For java you will typically use maven or gradle, for JS/TS you will use npm. My idea is to create a service, where a software developer can upload the code or connect it to some git repo. The service should then automatically recognize which framework will be used and process the required steps. The user should have the possibility to configure the steps with a UI, which could do some autosuggestion or validation.

​

What do you think about that idea? The target group would be small teams, which cannot afford a DevOps engineer or just do not have the know how about CI/CD.

Is 39 too old to make a career change into Tech more specifically a Devops role?

Is 39 too old to make a career switch? I got turned down for a job that I thought had a great chance at. It was an entry level Cloud Position where they actually get you up to speed on cloud providers your first few months. Then shadow, and eventually on your own. I was even willing to take a pretty big pay cut from my current position (Mechanical Engineer). A couple interviewers even mentioned I was more advanced than what the role required. I have 3 AWS certs (SAP, CDA, SAA). The interviews went great, or so I mustve thought. They were hiring about 3-5 ppl for the same position, and found out today I got passed on. I have a very difficult time even getting my resume seen by the right people let alone getting a call back. Ive applied to hundreds of places within the past year with only a handful of interviews where ive since filled in and have  been filling in knowledge gaps that have showed up during these interviews. I have been applying at Jr level positions and rarely get an interview. Its been very defeating and today just made me feel like ive wasted so much time and effort in the past year to study with all of my free time and i do mean all (After work, weekends, even stopped going to the gym in order to study, Ive gained 30lbs in the past year). It makes me wonder that if at my age its just too late to enter the tech industry?

Testing Suite for Terraform Projects

Hello /r/DevOps.

​

We're building a product in Terraform and are looking for recommendations on testing suites for our development process.

The product is a serverless, AWS-based management tool for our company.

​

We would like the deployment pipeline to verify pre-requisites on the AWS accounts we deploy to (ie roles or other resources created by external processes).

We'd also like to unit-test any lambda functions (developed in python)

And then do integration & end-to-end testing as needed post-deployment.

​

We're using checkov and tfsec for static terraform analysis, but anything we need to do with more advanced logic we are planning on writing custom testing fixtures in python.

​

We have looked at pytest, clarity, behave, moto, and a few others. What would be your recommendations based on experience?

Which operating system do you use for your CI/CD agents?

Hi r/devops,

I'm doing some research around modernising a CI/CD process and one of the things I'm curious about is what the share is between different operating systems for CI/CD agents?

Do any of you know if there's any published survey results/report from CI/CD vendors that presents this kind of breakdown?

I've looked at the Jenkins, GitLab, GitHub, GitKraken, StackOverflow etc reports but haven't found this information to be captured.

I'd equally welcome any anecdotal information about what you've seen in your experience (including reasons for why it was the case)!

And for good measure... I've made this post a poll to capture your passing votes :)

Thanks!

Podman 3 and Docker Compose - How Does the Dockerless Compose Work?

One of the main Podman 3 features is the support of Docker Compose. You can take any of your existing docker-compose.yml and just use it with Podman. In my new short video, I am showing how I moved from Docker to Podman in a real docker-composed application:

Rundeck ACLs

Im trying to configure a Rundeck ACL to allow a group to have access to only this project and 1 specific job in the project. The project has several jobs but I want the users to only be able to see the jobs I allow. I was thinking of creating a folder and only allowing jobs that are in that folder to be visible by the group.

Continuous Delivery from Git Repo to CPanel

There are so many tutorials to teach you to implement CI/CD to deploy apps, that are developed by using latest front-end and back-end frameworks, on firebase, aws servers, google cloud platform, etc. But this tutorial is to deploy a simple website or a web-app on a shared hosting. There are still many of us, who host their sites and apps in shared hosting, because the app is simple and the cost is low as well. Lets start to learn how to deploy your code to shared hosting via FTP (File Transfer Protocol) whenever something new is pushed to Bitbucket repository.

One ops team doing all releases is bad, right?

I work in production operations for a large public company. The culture here demands that the prod ops team be the team that moves releases from preprod to prod, and we don't allow product teams to manage their own production secrets, both seemingly out of fear of developers breaking things.

As we move from a lot of manual deployments to hopefully a future of actually automated CI/CD, there still seems to be a goal of my team pulling the levers to allow releases to move from preprod to prod.

I run into this attitude so regularly that I'm starting to doubt myself, despite my last job laying what I think was a great foundation for devops (each team owns everything from code to infra to pipelines). Is this sort of a thing I'm fighting with in my current role as much of an anti-pattern as I think it is? Or are there real reasons (perhaps regulatory compliance) why a monolithic production operations team would need to be the barrier between software developers and production?

Looking for both advice and a place to vent. Hopefully I'm not the only not-crazy person here!

Questions to ask a company on how they perform devops

I know that devops isn't supposed to be a role or a team but it should be a culture. However, we live in reality where lots of companies perform devops differently.

What are your go to questions in filtering for red flags when asking a potential employer how they do devops. What are some good and bad answers? When you see the red flags, is it a show stopper for you?

I assume that FAANG type companies do devops better than most, although not perfect. I am not I am focusing on these companies but small to medium sized companies

Metrics from logs. Why?

I know a number of teams that seem stuck on the idea that they need metrics from logs. Not having enough context for why that would be necessary and given the cost of doing so (i.e. - efficiency of metrics over logs, latency incurred from transforming logs into metrics, etc.), can anyone here give me some insight into how a distributed system would benefit by using metrics from logs (like a business use case)? I totally curious why I keep running into this. I feel like I'm really missing something here (or maybe I'm not).

Terraform or Ansible or both for cloud deployment ?

I have test Terraform and Ansible to deploy some virtual machines in Azure because I would like to automate the creation and deployment of resources in the Azure cloud and soon probably in AWS, but I don't know with which one of those two pick to use in my daily work.

I have read that DevOps Engineers recommend use both but I would like to know what are the key difference between Terraform and Ansible and if it would be better to use both or only one
