NGINX treats

Hello everyone, after finally getting my new site to work, I decided to write some content, which by the way is harder than I expected. The first thing came to mind is writing about something I know. So I wrote general stuff about NGINX.

I would love some feedback on the article, corrections or missing gaps. Should I continue this way or maybe pause for a while and focus on whatever you think am lacking? Thanks all!

Helm: problem with organizing values

I know this might be a bit weird requirement, but I am quite new to Helm and I might have missed something.

Let me explain my use case:

I have my helm chart which contains subcharts, so to access the sub-charts values I will have to do something like this in my values.yaml:

// My own values
myserviceDatabase:
someProp: whatever
host: my-service
admin:
password: mypassword

// Subchart values override
mySubchart:
some-database-service:
admin:
password: mypassword
someSetupScript: ...
host: my-service

Now what is the problem with that? As you can see the database values are going to be scattered between my own values and the subchart values, also the `host` and password property are duplicated.So I would like to simplify this and group the "database" related values together this way:

// My own values
myserviceDatabase:
someProp: whatever
admin:
password: mypassword
someSetupScript: ...
host: ...

The only way to do that would be to have a template `subvalues.yaml` file:

mySubchart:
some-database-service:
admin:
password: {{.Values.myserviceDatabase.admin.password}}
someSetupScript: {{.Values.myserviceDatabase.someSetupScript}}
host: {{.Values.myserviceDatabase.host}}

Now I think this is currently not supported in helm because values cannot be "templated", is there any way to achieve this?

The second problem is that I do not want the consumer of my chart to override some of the values, because they are going to be used internally by me, but this is not as important as the first.

Thanks in advance.


Till now the suggestions have being toward using `helmfile`

How hard is it to get into devops for someone not even in the industry?

So I was wondering for someone like not even in the i.t industry in terms of experience from jobs how hard would it be to get into this field. Like what if someone learnt everything they needed to learn to take on the role would it be that easy? Surely being self taught and being able to demonstrate to employers you are capable is enough right? (as well as some qualifications)

Have been working as Devops Trainee for a month now.

Hi everyone, I'm a relatively fresh grad, need advice about my career.
I have around a year of experience working in IT in a support capacity. I wanted to move into Devops for quite a while now. I recently got a Devops Traineeship in a very rapidly growing company. It's been a month now.
It's a task based training, after a day or two of learning about a topic we are given a task. As of now we have done Linux, web servers, databases, git and docker.
I need advice about how and what i should be learning on my own time? And how you could have done all this if you were at my stage?
I'm not a native English speaker hope I was able to convey my message?

Operations Engineer looking to transition to DevOps

Looking to transition into a DevOps role from a Support/Operations Engineer profile, I already have experience in Bash and Python Scripting. Can someone please check and suggest if this BootCamp seems like a good start? I have taken individual courses before but I tend to give up midway mostly because I can't understand how to connect the different technologies together.

How to manage, update local development Database

Hi,

What is the right approach to manage your different database environments. Do you import the schema Form production to you lokal database? Do you use real or dummy data. How do you update database(schema)?

Soem background info:
On the local development development environment most of the devs run a MYSQL BD via docker with a named, persistent volume for the data.

How can they get the new schema if someone updated the staging or production DB without giving them access to the actual server? What about schema conflicts?

My idea:
In my head it is the simplest solution to run a scheduled gitlab job that gets the staging schema every day and provides the sql dump via a job artifact. But this does not solve conflicts and requires them to manually download the artifact and import it to their BD. So what is the best approach here?

How much of your work is project based?

Currently I'm in app support so a lot of SQL with exposure to AWS.

However I really am starting to dislike the nature of work where you're always being pinged by people, getting sent urgent tickets that aren't always urgent and resolving customer issues.

Is DevOps much different? Do you get to do more project based work?

Needing some support... Is it okay to be bad?

As the title says. Been at this job for a few years now, moved from app development to working infra, tooling, cicd etc. Lots of new skills learned, and I'm grateful for the company letting me grow in this space.

But I feel like I've reached the point where I can't improve. I've tried various ways of doing more - larger projects, trying to manage people on a project, doing harder things. None of it is really working out, and I'm getting really close to breaking down from my own (perceived, maybe?) incompetence.

I want to take a step back and find my footing, but at the same time it feels like giving up, and I'm worried about being complacent and completely losing the drive to keep pushing

Has anybody else here been in this situation? Is it just a case of keep trying to improve, or taking smaller steps, or what?

A way to output all AWS resources IDs that are missing a certain tag?

What I need is to add a tag to all existing EC2 resources on my AWS account.

I've seen this:

https://github.com/kpei/AWS-Tag-Auditor \- outputs the resource IDs of all resources with a missing specified tag to a file.

Then I can use any of either of these tools to tag the resources:

https://github.com/kpei/AWS-Tagger

https://github.com/washingtonpost/aws-tagger

​

The thing is - AWS-Tag-Auditor is old and un-maintained (7 years..). I'm wondering if you know of anything with the same functionality but fresh..

Gitops for non developer?

Hi,

I'm working in Management position right now but have worked in Operations before, but not Development.

Do you have some advice where i can learn the Gitops basics?

We want to role out a new project in this way and i don't like the idea to tell somebody to do x if i don't get what it means.... So i will finde some freetime to learn the basics.

I know Ansible and I'm able to read and write simple playbooks, also familiar with Python.

I use git and github for personal use but i struggle to finde a condensed tutorial on what are key parts of gitops, what's a ci/cd Pipeline stuff like that.

Any suggestions for good tutorials?

That one question again: an alternative to Jenkins?

I'm looking for a simpler, more modern, and more reliable alternative to Jenkins for use in a C++ and Python CI/CD infra.

What I would like to have:

- Running jobs, that is: scripts in containers, like GitHub or GitLab pipelines
- Trigger periodically, or through external trigger (HTTP endpoint for Bitbucket, Github, etc)
- An API to query state
- Secrets, ideally integrated with HashiCorp Vault
- Artifacts are nice-to-have

Ideally, it integrates with HashiCorp Nomad.
