Automate Terraform with GitHub and GCP Workload Identity Federation

This is how I automate IaC following the least privilege principle with GitHub and Google Workload Identity Federation. Hope you find it useful...

The workflow will run terraform plan and apply base on the event triggering the workflow, and based on that will use a dedicated service account to allow us to strictly follow the least privilege principle. If the workflow is triggered by a pull_request event the workflow will execute the step terraform plan with the tf-plan service account. If instead it is triggered by a push against main it will execute the apply step using a service account authorised to manage the resources in GCP.

Looking for Advice on Intro into DevOps

Hello all! I am currently looking to shift careers from public education to DevOps. I have come coding experience but I believe the management style of DevOps fits my skills better. What route would you take to learn? I am currently enrolled in the IBM DevOps course on Coursera, is it a good route for learning this field? For this who have taken it, would the work done there help build a strong portfolio for what companies are looking for? Any other advice on where to learn is welcomed!

Committing a file via build pipeline?

I’ve got a pre merge pipeline that triggers on PR as a build validation.

I’ve also got a script that can be ran to generate a readme markdown file just in scripts folder. I’m currently running that manually when I’m making code changes pre PR.

Is it frowned on/bad practice to have a step in a pre merge pipeline that essentially create changes (as in adding a new md file) that were not part of the original PR?

The script would only run on files that have had changes to ensure the readme is always updated.

Basically don’t think anyone will stick to running it long term so thought I’d try and automate it as part of the validation stage.

Any insight (or suggestions on a better way?) would be helpful as I am new to my devops journey.

Thanks!

Left Behind

Long post, but needing some advice please on 're'-training.


The team I work in is a multi disciplined team comprising of DBAs and app/web/other expertise in a SQL shop.
The initial purpose of the team was to push the Devops agenda, and the culture shift in the company, implementing routes to live via Octopus deploy.
Our team of SMEs is split into Agile sprint teams alongside devs/testers etc to use as any other sprint resource to remove silos between dev and ops (clever stuff huh), and reduce ticketing waits and all that legacy type of problem.


Up until pretty recently, once the Devops methodology/culture was widely accepted and implemented, this worked fine, with each of our SMEs also being tooling admins for Octopus deploy, TFS, Jenkins agile developer sprint teams are as empowered as possible, and devop/ops are in much better relation.
I will be the first to acknowledge that our team is a silo between dev and ops, but it's worked more like a layer above both rather than being the man in the middle.


The problem I have, is that now the devops culture is standard and accepted, and that good stuff our team has been split into a cloud migration side and a BAU side, with yours truly being stuck sweeping up BAU and essentially just now being a monkey with admin/DBA in the loosest use of the term.


I've been with the company a decent amount of time, the majority of which has been spent in this 'devops engineer' position, but as i find myself looking for similar roles, I'm woefully underskilled with no cloud experience/exposure. I have the AZ900 cert, but it looks like the market (in the UK) prefers AWS skills, so im currently training for those certs in my spare time, but I see jobs requiring Kubernetes/Docker alot as well.


My question/TLDR is this:
What would you do if you were me in order to skill up and be relevant in the job market as a devops engineer, specifically in the UK/remote?
AWS feels like a given, but is Kubernetes worth the self training/certs?
What else have i overlooked?

No one wants to hire me.

Hello there. So I've been working as a fullstack software engineer for 3 years now and want to switch to DevOps. But no recruiter wants to hire me as they say I don't have the required exp. But I do have working knowledge of DevOps, have written build pipelines from scratch.

How do I make the transition ?

Old team asking for me to join back after internal transfer.. what would you do?

Been on this team few months; no issues.. old team reached out for me to rejoin.. would this be burning bridges if I made an internal transfer again?

Only thing that would be cool is the team is a little more established in the old role.

Could you think of any application that uses a distributed system using Lambda functions and AWS SQS?

I was trying to think of a real-life use case for using both of them, but couldn't think of anything. You can just use Lambda and API Gateway and achieve the same thing, so there's no real use for using AWS SQS to submit messages to Lambda functions and trigger them.

No sandbox available for certain exercises?

I'm trying to do this exercise in my preparation for the DP203 exam by doing all the self-study modules.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/modules/introduction-azure-synapse-analytics/4a-exercise-explore-synapse?ns-enrollment-type=learningpath&ns-enrollment-id=learn.wwl.get-started-data-engineering

It looks like the sandbox is only available for certain exercises. If I want to complete this exercise, I need to create the resources in my subscription on my azure account which will cost me. If I'm only using the exercises for the duration of the exercise (2 hours or so) and then delete them, will I still be charged or is the cost negligible (on the order of cents). Is there any way to avoid these charges or another place where I can go through the exercise without paying?
