Need advice on becoming a DevOps Engineer.
I am a Senior System Engineer. I mostly am writing python scripts, scraping bots,doing automation. Linux has been my OS since 2016. I manage multiple linux vps. I also work on Laravel as a Backend. So I know php too but Python has always been my favorite.
I know about Networking, a basic understanding of penetration testing and preventions from a few common attacks.
Wanted to get into DevOps, so went ahead and learned Docker (skipped Docker Swarm), working with YAML and Dockerfile. Tried Jenkins once. Have worked on Github and GitLab many times.
What should be my next step? I would love some advices. I think Kubernetes, as I skipped Docker Swarm. I just need to know what to do next, I'll find a way to learn. Thank you.

Storing env vars in .git/config?
I just realized you can effectively use git config as a place to store and reference environmental variables.
For example, you can write:
git config env.private charlie
git config env.public bob
and in .git/config you will see:
env
private = charlie
public = bob
You can just read these variables too:
git config env.public
bob
---
What I am wondering is, why not just use this in place of the typical
It seems far harder to accidentally commit your git config, and it even ships with one-level-deep yaml-esque organization!

DevOps Bulletin Newsletter - Issue 53
Hey folks,
My weekly DevOps newsletter aka DevOps Bulletin - Digest #53 is out. Check out a sneak peek of the topics covered on this weekly issue:
* 🏗️ "**Building a Frontend Testing Pipeline**" - This hands-on tutorial will walk you through implementing a testing pipeline from scratch.
* 🧠 "**Think like Git**" - This article is for people who already know how to use git day-to-day, but want a deeper understand of the why of git to do a better job reasoning about what should or should not be possible rather than just memorizing incantations.
* 🧾 "Software bill of materials: What it is and why you need one" - **Learn what a software bill of materials is and why it is important for DevOps**
* 🤯 "**Over 380k+ open Kubernetes API servers**" - Damn! If you are notified of an instance that is accessible, please consider implementing authorization for access or block at the firewall level to reduce your exposed attack surface.
* 🌎 "**Lessons learned from running Apache Airflow at scale**" - Shopify shares some of the lessons learned and solutions they built in order to run Airflow at scale.
* 🔒 "**RBAC explained with examples**" - Kubernetes RBAC tutorial with two examples, using ServiceAccounts and OpenSSL to create separate contexts for users.
* 📦 "**Robust Terraform setup with workspaces**" - Snowflakes as code is an anti-pattern where separate instances of infrastructure code are maintained for multiple instances of infrastructure that are intended to be essentially the same.
* 📹 Video of the week goes to a talk given by David Flanagan where he shares the key methods, tools and **takeaways from fixing over 50 Kubernetes clusters live**.
* 🛠 Project of the week goes to "OWASP WrongSecrets p0wnable app" - an **open-source app packed with various ways of how to not store your secrets**. These can help you to realize whether your secret management is ok. The challenge is to find all the different secrets by means of various tools and techniques.

Why you shouldn't consider using Oracle Cloud
Worst practices you can imagine like deleting your account without any warning.
And if you will go to support you are going to get a standard answer: we are not going to tell you the reason bye.
They don't even bother to let you move your data.
And the reason is that i am holding Russian passport. But i am not in Russia, nor i am anyhow connected to. But the real point is that Oracle got a lot of corrupted money from Putin regime for years and i have been witnessing that since i was working on a civilian government company in the past.
​
Company that i am currently working for migrating away from OCI and the reason for that is vendor-locking practices. Oracle tries to lock you on their databases for example.
​
OCI is the worst choice for personal and business needs. Just facts.

Interaction between Docker, AMI and Ansible
I am wondering if anyone can set me on a path to understand how these different technologies interact or compliment each other in the devops world:
- Using Ansible (or Terraform or similar tools) for infrastructure as code
- Building and deploying Docker containers
- Saving/loading machine images like Amazon AMIs
Some of my confusion comes from the fact that all these seem to overlap a bit.
For instance, is it best to put most low level config and build in a Dockerfile and then just use Ansible for glue and deployment? Or could you build everything using Ansible to setup a VM which you would then save as an AMI?
I know a lot of different setups are possible but I am wondering about best practices especially as it pertains to interactions between tools like Ansible and Docker (Ansible has Docker bindings but is that all you would use it for in a Docker-centric infrastructure?)

devops is not about receiving the recipes and not doing the effort by yourself
I did appreciate this subreddit year back but now, i am really getting fed up by this trend of asking all and everything without any effort. Even with such amount of resource you can find on google.
Stupid questions like: Should I learn this, should I learn that?
The fact that you ask such question shows that you don't even try or were not interested in first place, you just want/think to get quick money.

Stop Messing With Kubernetes Finalizers
Hi /r/DevOps,

Two of my senior devops were transfered to another projects, I'm at lost because I don't know what I'm doing.
Currently helping customer setup CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins and Gitlab and deploy into Rancher. I'm still new to this and I don't really know what I'm doing. I have to report to my PM everyday what am I doing but I don't know what to tell her becuase I'm at lost without my seniors to guide me. I'm trying to learn as much as I can but I don't think I can do this job by myself. I told my manager that if they can't find someone to help me I will quit because I'm really stressed out.
edit: I've only been in DevOps role for four months from a sys admin backgroud. I did learn a lot but not enough to troubleshoot or work on this complex project alone.

**What is DevOps?**
* [AWS has a great article](https://aws.amazon.com/devops/what-is-devops/) that outlines DevOps as a work environment where development and operations teams are no longer "siloed", but instead work together across the entire application lifecycle -- from development and test to deployment to operations -- and automate processes that historically have been manual and slow.
**Books to Read**
* [The Phoenix Project](https://www.amazon.com/Phoenix-Project-DevOps-Helping-Business/dp/1942788290) - one of the original books to delve into DevOps culture, explained through the story of a fictional company on the brink of failure.
* [The DevOps Handbook](https://www.amazon.com/dp/1942788002) - a practical "sequel" to The Phoenix Project.
* [Google's Site Reliability Engineering](https://landing.google.com/sre/books/) - Google engineers explain how they build, deploy, monitor, and maintain their systems.
* [The Site Reliability Workbook](https://landing.google.com/sre/workbook/toc/) - The practical companion to the Google's Site Reliability Engineering Book
* [The Unicorn Project](https://www.amazon.com/Unicorn-Project-Developers-Disruption-Thriving-ebook/dp/B07QT9QR41) - the "sequel" to The Phoenix Project.
* [DevOps for Dummies](https://www.amazon.com/DevOps-Dummies-Computer-Tech-ebook/dp/B07VXMLK3J/) - don't let the name fool you.
**What Should I Learn?**
* [Emily Wood's essay](https://crate.io/a/infrastructure-as-code-part-one/) - why infrastructure as code is so important into today's world.
* [2019 DevOps Roadmap](https://github.com/kamranahmedse/developer-roadmap#devops-roadmap) - one developer's ideas for which skills are needed in the DevOps world. This roadmap is controversial, as it may be too use-case specific, but serves as a good starting point for what tools are currently in use by companies.
* [This comment by /u/mdaffin](https://www.reddit.com/r/devops/comments/abcyl2/sorry_having_a_midlife_tech_crisis/eczhsu1/) - just remember, DevOps is a mindset to solving problems. It's less about the specific tools you know or the certificates you have, as it is the way you approach problem solving.
* [This comment by /u/jpswade](https://gist.github.com/jpswade/4135841363e72ece8086146bd7bb5d91) - what is DevOps and associated terminology.
* [Roadmap.sh](https://roadmap.sh/devops) - Step by step guide for DevOps or any other Operations Role
Remember: DevOps as a term and as a practice is still in flux, and is more about culture change than it is specific tooling. As such, specific skills and tool-sets are not universal, and recommendations for them should be taken only as suggestions.

* [This comment by /u/mdaffin](https://www.reddit.com/r/devops/comments/abcyl2/sorry_having_a_midlife_tech_crisis/eczhsu1/) - just remember, DevOps is a mindset to solving problems. It's less about the specific tools you know or the certificates you have, as it is the way you approach problem solving.
* [This comment by /u/jpswade](https://gist.github.com/jpswade/4135841363e72ece8086146bd7bb5d91) - what is DevOps and associated terminology.
* [Roadmap.sh](https://roadmap.sh/devops) - Step by step guide for DevOps or any other Operations Role
Remember: DevOps as a term and as a practice is still in flux, and is more about culture change than it is specific tooling. As such, specific skills and tool-sets are not universal, and recommendations for them should be taken only as suggestions.

Culture of blaming Ops
For the last few years now, anything that breaks in prod, in the eyes of the org and developers, an issue with operations.
“What did ops do?”
“What have they done now?”
“What did you do to break prod?”
Time and time again, we’ve constantly had to defend ourselves and point out that we did nothing to cause production incidents.
After a few back and forths over slack and e-mail, we ultimately save face and show that we are not the cause.
How can I alleviate this?
