Nothing special...

Hey guys,

This is not particularly a startup/ product, mostly just a project idea. But anyone interested in Simplifying cloud hosting for developers?

As a developer I see that hosting, devops and deployment of applications can be a real challenge nowadays. Especially for small quick prototypes. Building applications on cloud platforms like AWS or Azure can be a tedious and complex task, even for experienced cloud engineers who still make mistakes with load balancer rules, instance management, and more. The result is often inefficient or expensive solutions.

To tackle this problem, I want to create app blueprints that can be added to Python, Node, Rust, or Java apps. These blueprints will connect the app to your AWS, Azure, GCP, or VSphere accounts, and spin up a cloud infrastructure with all the best practices built in: along side storage, databases, key vaults etc that you need.

I plan on it being just prebuilt IaC modules through Pulumi or Terraform, I believe there is a strong market for this as many developers want to use IaC but honestly don't really care about being as descriptive and pedantic as it forces you to be. I honestly believe the benefits are two-fold: Firstly, we make the process of hosting an application much easier, quicker, and more efficient. Secondly, we help developers avoid common mistakes and improve their cloud infrastructure, making their apps more secure, reliable and optimized.

I also think this kind of project is a great candidate for open source

Let me know if this is interesting to anyone/ this already exists.

Error with SSL certificate using private key and certificate from organization with SAN added

I've generated a private key and CSR using openssl, then submitted the CSR to my organization. I received the certificate and used it along with the private key generated by openssl. Despite adding SAN, I am still encountering an error saying

"This server could not prove that it is localapp; its security certificate does not specify Subject Alternative Names. This may be caused by a misconfiguration or an attacker intercepting your connection."

What am I doing wrong?

Not able to complete Vagrant up, with custom.ssh.password in Vagrantfile

Hello guys, I'm new to Vagrant, trying to learn sorry if this question is too dumb. I'm using below vagrantfile. Rather than using default password "vagrant", I'm trying to use custom config.ssh.password. I tried few things, I'm able to figure out.

# vi: set ft=ruby :

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|

# Define new vm called Master
config.vm.define "master" do |master|
master.vm.box = "bento/ubuntu-22.04"
master.vm.hostname= "controlplane"
master.ssh.username = 'test'
master.ssh.password = 'test'

## for private Network which would create a bridge to physical network
# master.vm.network "privatenetwork", ip: "192.168.56.111"

## for Public Network which would directly attach user to the physical network
master.vm.network "publicnetwork", type: "bridge", bridge: "wlp3s0", ip: "192.168.1.222"

master.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |provider|
provider.memory = 2048
provider.cpus = 1
end

end

end

Terminal_ouput :

==> master: Waiting for machine to boot. This may take a few minutes...
master: SSH address: 127.0.0.1:2222
master: SSH username: test
master: SSH auth method: password

How is "branch deploy" useful?

https://github.blog/2023-02-02-enabling-branch-deployments-through-issueops-with-github-actions/

I don't get how this kind of deployment is better, as it means the state on production is not the state of main?
Example, I deploy a branch feat/awesome-button. I will see the awesome button in production. But if someone pull main, they won't see the button as the branch wasn't merged yet?

Hiding a website/url's identity

Hey all,

I'm sorry if this isn't the right sub for this, but devops is the closest field I could think of that may answer my question.

I have a friend who's looking into starting website/blog of a "politically sensitive" nature. The guy's a journalist with a history of quite a few death threats over his liberal views, especially from religious sources. So you can understand that the guy's safety and anonymity are paramount. What would be the best practice for such an endeavor? Over-seas hosting? Where?

I'm helping him set it up so my understanding of the tech is mostly from the developer's pov.

Thank you!

What webinar would you actually take the time to watch?

Hi there! I'm a course and webinar creator for DevOps. I'd love to get your feedback on the topics you really want to hear about in a 30-40 minute webinar. This is all thought leadership -no sales or marketing.
What would be helpful for you? Drop your ideas here, and thank you!

GitHub Actions for Continuous Integration



GitHub Actions for Continuous Integration

​

https://community.cisco.com/t5/devops-knowledge-articles/github-actions-for-continuous-integration/ta-p/4762097

​

The continuous integration (CI) pipeline which I’m about to share is worth sharing because it accomplishes two things in particular, which you may have assumed GitHub Actions would do out of the box, but for which I had to do some research to find and implement niche tools. These two things are:

1) Detect exactly which file(s) have changed in a Push to GitHub and assign the properties of those files to variables.

2) After running a script using those variables, automatically Commit and Push back into the GitHub repository.

The idea for this project came from our team’s desire to attach audio versions of the blogs and articles we post to the Cisco Community. This will enable those who are visually impaired and give everyone else the option to listen instead of reading. I also wanted to have a place to store all my blog and article documents, other than a folder on my desktop. This source of truth (SOT) of text templates and their associated audio MP3s will also serve as an archive for future use of this knowledge.

How are you editing helm charts?

Hi there,

I'm currently using IntelliJ IDEA with the Kubernetes plugin to edit my helm charts.

It's nice, but it's not complete. I'm looking for a better way, to help me on periodic refactor and overcome some of the annoying YAML/Helm shenanigans and boilerplate.

I'm also thinking of offloading some of the helm chart parts (mainly around deployments) to developers. The developers mostly don't know helm and know very little k8s, and I'm looking for a way to make it easier for them. Know any editor/tool/helper that can help?

In general, I would love to know, in your company, are developers involved in editing helm charts? And if so, which parts mostly?

When you npm build and deploy what do you do with the build file after?

I did a npm build so I can I deploy on netlify. But it's in my folder project now. I shouldn't push it to my Github right? Should I just delete it and then everytime I update my project I make a new npm build?

Fedora CoreOS in 2023?

When CoreOS was shutdown and rebranded to Fedora CoreOS with less and missing features the project was basically dead for me. Is anyone using the fedora version and can tell me how it is going? If not, which alternatives are you using as Docker Base OS? Thanks!

How Much Time Over 40 Hours Per Week?

I'm curious how much you all work more than a stereotypical 40 hours per week? And I don't just mean hours on the job, I'm interested in how much time you invest in your career overall weekly? That could mean working more than 8 hours a day, or regularly spending time studying for certifications or working on an open source project to advance your career? Personally, I worked waaay more than 40, between working long hours and/or responding to on-call issues. I really have spent little time advancing my career (certs, etc) lately because I've worked so much. And I've really been surprised by hearing some say they work 40 hours - it seems crazy to me that what I do is just a 40 hour a week job somewhere else. And to think someone working just 40 hours might have a similar salary.

Terraform Drift Detection

Hey r/devops!

​

I'm wondering if/how you do drift detection for Terraform?


This is a problem I've faced at multiple companies and none of the solutions seem all that great.


How do you get the results reported back to you?
Slack?
Email?
Some other way?
What do you do with them?
Auto remediate (i.e. run an apply)
Review some duration after and apply?
Ignore them?
