I am getting these error after running ./update.sh as part of my puppet deployment process.

#!/bin/bash /usr/bin/puppet apply --modulepath=./modules ./manifests/$(hostname).pp

This is the content of update.sh.

And I am on a Linux version 2.6.32-754.29.2.el6.x86\_64.

When I run yum update I get:

Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, presto, replace Setting up Update Process Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile YumRepo Error: All mirror URLs are not using ftp, http[s] or file. Eg. Invalid release/repo/arch combination/ removing mirrorlist with no valid mirrors: /var/cache/yum/x86_64/6/centos-sclo-rh/mirrorlist.txt Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: centos-sclo-rh [root@dev01 ~]#

I am thinking the root cause of the problem is yum not getting the packages necessary when trying to install certain things, but I am not sure if that's the reason, because as far as I understand the update.sh script doesn't install anything.

Is it possible to run Active Directory Domain Service locally?

I work on an administrative portal that is heavily tied into active directory. Currently we use a test AD server that the entire team shares which makes it error prone since many people can be making changes. Is there a good way to run a AD server locally for testing and so we can isolate from each other?

Beginner DevOps - Inherited Environment - Are these issues real or just a manifestation of my frustrations stemming from inexperience ?

I need to get some honest opinions about something that I've been thinking about. I want to make sure I'm thinking clearly and might be a bit too close to the problem to avoid confirmation bias (hey, at least I can admit it).


The Problem(s)
We're a Microsoft Windows / .Net shop . We're using a proprietary configuration tool that gives users the ability to view, create, and modify various application configurations that we've exposed through the web UI. This gets stored in the CM database.

My predecessors then utilized a combination of Chef with a bunch of third party cookbooks , PowerShell DSC with several open source modules, and some proprietary configuration tools written in C# to manage the various infrastructure configuration and application configuration.

Our release pipeline is Azure DevOps with a bunch of custom developed tasks (several of which are now using outdated or deprecated functionality) to deploy new releases. This part of the process is the lesser of my concern except, we need to refactor the custom tasks.


My Concern

My concerns are as follows:

Chef requires ruby knowledge and it's not a language I have a ton of familiarity with nor is it one that I'm very excited to learn. Looking at the cookbooks that were written by my predecessors, It has comments in it that indicates to me that they too were not well versed in Ruby. To add fuel to the fire, we're running an old, deprecated version of Chef which makes improvements near impossible. Getting buy in to upgrade the chef servers is difficult.

There are several third party cookbooks and modules in use, many of which are outdated or no longer maintained. We've upgraded our OS over the last 12 months and as a result, some of the PS modules we reference experience weird issues that I then have to mitigate. This issue can be helped through testing new versions of the OS, SQL server, and any related hotfixes or updates. This is something I intend to suggest, but my concern around third party cookbooks and modules remains. They save time, but they tend to add tech debt.


Our infrastructure management runs and release pipelines have become so large and cumbersome that they take longer to run than manually deploying in some instances. While the repeatability and predictability of the pipeline is still a major benefit, management sees time as money and expects better ROI.....and honestly.....so do I.


My Questions


1. Are my concerns unfounded ? Am I simply projecting my frustrations and making a mountain out of a mole hill or do I actually have valid concerns ?

2. I'm beginning to feel like Chef may not be the best tool for the job when it comes to infrastructure configuration. Maybe 10 years when most of this was first conceptualized by my predecessors it was....but today....I feel like Ansible + PowerShell would be the better choice. This would eliminate the need to learn Ruby which is great. I'd rather focus on learning GoLang and Python.
3. I'm concerned that infrastructure configuration and application configuration are too mixed together in our processes. Is this concern real or is this just how most DevOps shops handle something like this ?

Why do so many companies place DevOps just under the operations hierarchy?

I've been doing DevOps for 3 years in 3 companies and each time, the DevOps team is placed under the IT Operations hierarchy instead of the development hierarchy. There's also the fact that nobody bothers to put devops into a an agile team from the get go. They always half-ass the integration of a devops team. I don't get it. Have none of the IT managers not read more than a white paper on devops before or is it really a matter of control?

Using Queue Time Variables in Python Script File Path : Azure Pipeline

I can print Queue Time Variable

as for example

print("$(application)")

But for file path, I have to pass $(application)

Is there any generic way to do that as my Queue Time Variables

Packer with vsphere-iso. boot command doesn't have any effect.

I'm using vsphere-iso with packer 1.7.2 to build CentOS 7 templates on vcentre 7.

All the packer output seems completely normal, the hardware is configured correctly, but the boot command never appears on console. The console remains blank with a blinking cursor. It worked perfectly with the exact same code on vcentre 6.7. The output is stuck at "Waiting for IP...".

If I turn on logging, I see the boot command being sent, but it never gets picked up on the vcentre side.

I basically just copied https://github.com/guillermo-musumeci/packer-vsphere-iso-linux an
d changed the variables.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

OpenTelemetry is great but why is it so bloody complicated?


I’ve been reading the documentation over the last couple of days and using the libraries to instrument a node.js GraphQL API.

I love the idea of open standards and interoperability. For example, I’d even go to argue that in large Kubernetes achieved those goals to a significant degree in the sense that you can pretty easily move workload/ from one cloud to another. And I can see a similar thing happening with OpenTelemetry.

But OpenTelemetry feels like it’s a level up on getting to a productive threshold. In other words, the oppose of the pit of success for such an important and useful technology — especially developers building data intensive applications.

Here are my current gripes:
- difficult naming. Propagator, exporter, manager, provider OTel, OTLP. It seems that interchangeable terms are used for the similar things.
- the number of dependencies needed to instrument an app is insane. Let alone figuring out the correct versions
- Documentation is playing catch up with the implementation
- resources is either very specific or very general. I haven’t been able to find any good resources that pick the right balance of breadth and depth.


Still, I have to give credit where it’s due:
- it’s amazing to be able to view traces in a local env with Jaeger or ZipKin in addition to sending it to a platform like Lightstep or NewRelic,
- auto instrumentation is great in theory, still not experienced enough to say how well it works.
- it feels like the the right moment with the Tracing API having recently stabilised.


Anyways, if anyone has good up to date resources please share

Is a master's degree worthwhile for DevOps?

Currently I have a bachelor's in Nanoscience. I found out that I wasn't so much a fan of doing research work, so I decided to go into IT so I could work with computers, which is the whole reason why I wanted to learn Nanoscience. During my transition between graduation and my first IT job, I had an incredibly difficult time getting interviews because my degree and coursework weren't relevant.


My current role adopted the DevOps ideology about a year back and I have fallen in love with it, so I want to fully invest my time and future into furthering myself in this career.

However, I dread that my degree is holding me back. Granted, it had some light course work in programming (intro classes, nothing more) and math, with heavy emphasis on physics, but I'm stuck between getting a masters or getting certs. I know I have two years of job experience and know that it will make it much easier, but can't help but think my degree holds me back in some manner.

Amazing folks,

Checkout my repository https://github.com/codeaprendiz/devops-essentials

Its still in progress phase :)

Let me know what you guys think

I am trying to document my journey along the way.

Why :

\- I maintain a good documentation

\- I can always come back to refer working and trusted code which I have used before

\- Git is the most amazing for of documenting your work and its free, lol

\- One of the best advises I have got in professional life is to break every complex tasks in simple ones, with enough simple tasks together you will realize you to so much close to achieving the complex one. I have followed this ever since.

A dashboard service for quality control of client projects

Even before the widespread introduction of CI/CD practices and various manifestos for quality development, we committed ourselves to making sure that every project was successful.

To do this, we strove to be early birds in the development world. We introduced new methodologies and were the first to try promising tools and offer them to our clients. To prevent the quality of work from suffering during our expansion, we decided to develop an internal product development metrics dashboard for controlling the quality of projects.

In six months, we developed a Ruby on Rails application called Pulse: a quality management dashboard that displayed all current projects and their statuses on one screen.

What sort of tools/microservices or scripts have you built?

I'm prepping to start interviewing for new jobs and my weakest aspect has always been programming, part of what drew me to DevOps was working more with systems and architecture than software dev.

I've built a few tools/microservices (healthcheck scripts, simple webservers, a microservice that receives AlertManager alerts and can then send JSON to another URL), but I'm hoping I can steal some ideas from you guys and make a few projects to practice coding :)

Django using Gunicorn + Nginx in ECS Fargate

Hello Guys,

I'm trying to set up my backend using aws fargate currently i'm not using nginx for reverse proxy just using gunicorn to start the webserver, im almost ready to go live so i'm looking add nginx for it,

The problem is that i'm not very sure the approach using 2 containers in the same task definition, if i add manually added each container pointing to different ecr register ( one for the app and one for nginx) its not taking the nginx config i saw the logs and doesn't give me nothing useful

I'll try different task definitions but doesn't work either i maybe jumping one step

what i want to achieve is that my ALB -- point to my nginx container using port 80 and then redirect to my app container if anyone has done something like this i would appreciate your thoughs

Thanks!
