What is your opinion on Incident Management Tools

Hey Folks,


I am interested in what other teams are using for incident management tooling.
Are you rolling your own or using a SAAS provider such as Pagerduty / Splunk On Call (formerly Victorops) / Squadcast.
I am currently going down the journey of implementing a third party service to intelligently handle alert / event notification and routing.


From what I have seen so far a lot of the providers seem to have feature parity with the key difference coming down to price.

setting up a new environment in azure (beside the existing AD)

hey guys,

coming from google cloud, so azure is kind of new for me (and the company I joined as well)...

i want to setup a somehow separated cluster for k8s and create all the needed stuff like networks, etc. with terraform.

we already use office365 and the azure AD, but nothing else like VMs or DBs.

how can I avoid destroying the AD while creating my k8s stuff? no on in the company has knowledge about that, and I maybe google'd the wrong stuff.

can I just create a "project" like in google cloud (is that "Tennant" the proper equivalent thing for this?) or do I need to do something else?

Best,

dejeckehoot

Currently joined as a devops engineer

Its been few days since i joined as a devops engineer and i Have little/basic experience of 6 months from my previous job,

Currently i have been asked to look into their application stack and below is the stack,

Frontend: angular
Backend language: C#
Backend framework: .net core
Cloud: Azure, soon to be shifting to AWS
Database: postgresql
CI : jenkins

I have to shortly design and implement an architecture by myself which i am very excited and frightened at the same time to create three environments for test, demo and production with high availability and scalability.

This is how i am planning to implement on AWS as cloud provider,

Code > gitlab > jenkins > ansible > docker

The code will be pushed to gitlab and the code will be pulled automatically to jenkins to run a job via webhooks.

In Jenkins i need add a few ssh commands to push the build version to dockerhub with env variables and add a post build action towards ansible to run the deployment and service yaml scripts

Now i am stuck in thinking with three big questions

1) if i should use only docker and docker swarm to deploy the web application.

2) Or shall i use Kubernetes cluster in place of docker from above architecture stack for both containerization and orchestration.

3) this is my major stuck point, how the hell do i go about attaching the database to the web application if i am using docker or Kubernetes.

Please advise

Azure Devops installation

Hi all,

I would like to get Azure DevOps setup and was wondering if I need to install Git before I can use DevOps?

Thanks in advance.

Can you link to any videos which explain how a server farm backs up its data? It must be a very large amount of data to backup & I’d like to learn more about how it’s done.

Is it typically raid drives, on-site removables aka iron mountain, off-site using a wide pipe, etc.
