SonarCloud and golang code in Azure

Hi, i'm new in devops, and Azure. I'm trying to use SonarCloud in my project with Golang in Azure. I already install the extension, the prepare analysis configuration, run code analysis and publish code gate quality in the CI pipeline. When i run my code CI everything do fine but when i go see the results in SonarCloud, apparently just the golang code its not analyzed. i can see in Sumarry 0 Bugs, Code Smells, Vulnerabilities and Security Hotspots, and in Code i can see just the Dockerfile, the pipeline yml and manifests folder.

I tried to install the golang during CI pipeline but not work.

What are some of your favorite projects to support on GitHub?

Hey y'all, happy Friday. I'm interested in discovering what kinds of projects devops professionals like to support. Maybe it's an open-source project led by a global team, or maybe it's one person's passion project to improve accessibility to K8s. Are there any you support on a regular basis, either through contributing or through sponsorships? Thanks for entertaining my curiosity!

Any tips on how to run auto scaling self-hosted GitLab runners well?

If you are using AWS and EKS? Or other CSP is fine

Does anyone of you think about the retirement?

I feel like Im getting old and I definitely feel the agism in our industry.

With AI soon to simplify many things, it will be even harder to find a job and tbh how long can you keep on learning ?

What is your backup plan ? Learning a second thing to keep earning in 50s60s?

Ps. Yes I know some ppl in their 60s are still in workforce in IT, but for us in 30s40s the future will look completely different :(

I feel like all the knowledge I have will be sooner or later obsolete and I wont be able to keep up :/

Containerization = resurgence of principles behind JVM

Is containerization just the modern day version of the JVM? I haven't written in Java in a few years, but what is the main difference between these two technically and principally?

What process or tools do you use to terminate instances in an ASG, when you need to ensure the EC2 instance gracefully completes any connections or tasks before being terminated?

In my prior role we didn't use ASG (Autoscaling Group) scale in events to terminate instances, instead I used a cronjob on the EC2 instance to check if the host had =>7 days up time, check existing jobs and API's have completed and then terminates it's self.

The CloudFormation CI/CD updates the AMI deployed by the ASG. So those instances wouldn't become available until a host gracefully shutdown or became unhealthy.

Wondering if anyone else is using Terminating:Wait and Lifecycle Hooks and what their experience with those is?

Or is there another method to achieve a graceful shutdown that you'd recommend instead?

I want to get all the spaces in my kibana using python

So as the title says I'm trying to write a script which gets all the spaces in my kibana, i tried to go through the documentation but i can't find a way to do that using python, any help would be appreciated

EDIT: i tried to follow elastic search doc
https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/spaces-api-get-all.html#spaces-api-get-all-example-1

but it threw me this error

{'error': 'no handler found for uri [/api/spaces/space] and method [GET]'}

here's the code for the same

import requests

response = requests.get('https://correct_ELASTIC_URL/api/spaces/space', auth=HTTPBasicAuth('elastic', 'CORRECT_PASS'))
response.json()

EDIT 2: it worked as soon as i replaced the url with kibana endpoint and not elasticsearch endpoint

Looking for a way to transcode and stream videos

I'm running a media site where we host videos ourselves instead of using YouTube. Right now we're using Bunny Stream, but I was wondering if there are better (less independent) ways. I don't have the most experience with DevOps, but I'm running some droplets on Digital Ocean while also using managed databases and Digital Ocean Spaces, so it would be nice if we could integrate our new solution in Digital Ocean as well. Are there any services that take care of transcoding the video while storing it on Digital Ocean Spaces or is this a bad idea altogether?

Networking Book: TCP/IP Illustrated vs CompTIA Network+

Hi there.
I'm 25M with 1y of backend experience, transitioning to devops/sre. Right now I'm self-studying for 3 months and for this week the plan is to study networking fundamentals. my friend who has 1.5 years of experience in the field is mentoring me.
After I researched a bit on reddit I found that the book TCP/IP Illustrated Volume 1: Protocols is a repeated recommendation. I also found a book called CompTIA Network+ Certification N10-007 All-In-One Exam Guide. My mentor saw the outlines of both and said I should read the network+ and after that should look up things that were in the other one but not here and study them.

What do you think? Has anyone read both? Any ideas?

Overemployed DevOps - how many of you are rocking two paychecks right now?

A team member mentioned they found r/overemployed and got a second FT job shortly after. I've heard them on their other job's calls a few times in their background audio before they remembered to mute their mic. They never are on camera anymore, unmute their mic, or contribute to any conversations, and slowly get a few projects completed.

Just wondering how prevalent it is in the DevOps world and if any of you have noticed a difference, either as a team member or as the overemployed.

What does it take to start your own DevOps or Cloud Consultancy ?

As a DevOps engineer, you've spent years honing your skills and gaining experience in cloud computing, automation, and agile methodologies. Now, you're considering taking the leap and starting your own consultancy firm to help other businesses adopt these practices and technologies. But where and how do you start? Who has done it here ? What's the process

where do you store your projects reports ?

I use gitea to store my git
Droneci for the cicd
Docker swarm for production
Loki for logs
Influxdb and grafana for metrics
Etc.

My cicd also runs some tools that generate reports :
- Code Coverage
- Security (trivy)
- image size
- build & deployment time
- dependencies size (package phobia)
- sonarqube

I see that every tool has a nice dashboard or sometimes nothing and I'm left with json.

A quick view of all this mess would be nice.
Should I develop mine quickly. Is there a tool for that ?
Is it what is called a "software catalog" ?

How do you deploy your docker containers (without orchestrators) ?

There's constant discussion around the usage of Kubernetes, Nomad and Docker Swarm. I recently stumbled upon the MRSK.dev post and am curious to know the tools and strategies used by teams and individuals that deploy Docker on VMs without using orchestrators.

If you're not on the cloud, could you also mention what hosting you use? I'd like to know

1. How do you deploy your containers?
2. What domain is the business that you work in?
3. What does the toolset look like?
4. How many servers do you deploy to?
5. Do you run it via a CI/CD server?
6. How do you handle monitoring and alerting?

Where to learn more as I scale up?

I've created and deployed a Django web app and there may be opportunities for me to monetize this app next year. I want to be ready for growth if this happens. I'm currently using a single CPU VPS with Linode and have no problems with CPU or memory use. My app is deployed via a PaaS.

I'm just doing this by myself. I tested out deploying my app without the PaaS by installing nginx as a proxy server, but that was at a very basic level with minimal configuration. I know that with Linode I can increase the CPU and memory at any time and I don't think I'd need to expand past that - I don't think I'd have more than a few thousand concurrent users. So when I say growth I don't think I'm talking clusters. Maybe load balancing for redundancy?


What would be the next step in learning about scaling, balancing, etc? The PaaS I'm using has settings for "web" and "workers" (which would also show up in a Procfile) and I have a fuzzy idea on what they're talking about but clearly their docs are meant for someone that knows more about this than I do. My apologies if this isn't quite a devops topic, I'm at the stage where I don't know enough to ask a great question.

What do you do in your downtime?

I've been working as a DevOps Engineer / SRE for five years and noticed that in my downtime I'm doing the same things that I usually do at work. And I like it more than at work (I don't understand why). So, are there many like me who have the same DevOps hobby?

What are your thoughts on using a GitHub copilot as a helping tool during doing DevOps Engineering work?

I think it's counterproductive and futile. Instead of learning and understanding your instruments, you decided to add an intermediate tool that would suggest the “best” solution. And when it becomes unavailable you couldn't do your work, also it can't help you with the debugging and if it generates a complicated bug, but you wouldn't be able to fix it. In the long term, you become less smart than you were before and become depended on the tool that sometime could become or too expensive or unavailable.

only devops on my team, how to move to a devops team?

Been doing ci/cd for environment provisioning and test automation for a team over the last few months. The work is near complete and I'm interested in continuing devops work where this ci/cd will be migrated over to.

I'm meeting with my manager who wants me to focus on application development. How do I respectfully let them know that the work I've been doing will continue to need improvements and there isn't enough resources where the ci/cd will be moved to. Also moving teams would help me improve the reliability of the environments as I'd have more direct contact with others that understand the tasks I work on instead of people blankly staring and ignoring(closing tickets that track) the tasks I need to do to complete the ci/cd for multiple environments. (basically I want to be in a devops team doing devops, not going back to application development)
