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 ?

Are these two IP6 from the same sender or office?

I'm trying to determine whether the emails came from the same office or person, but lack the in-depth knowledge of IP6 and understanding of the meaning of the same "subnet prefix".

From the email header, the IP6 from:

Sender A: 2a01:111:f403:7005::72f

Sender B: 2a01:111:f403:7005::609

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.

Are you running Argo CD on its own exclusive cluster?

I'm super new to all things Kubernetes and I'm trying to wrap my head around how to architect things...

Argo CD says:

> Consider running Argo CD on its own cluster, with no other applications running on it.

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?

Can tools like docker deploy next js, fast api and database all in one? What is kubernetes or ansible?

Hi folks. I am a web dev and I want to use deployment tools that are easy to use for beginners but with additional settings can scale too, if required. I’ve heard of all the popular names but by god any search for their usage leads to some articles that assume a little too much knowledge and they speak in jargons. If there is some resource that is specifically for people in my position, I couldn’t find it. If anyone knows, please let me know and I’ll take down the post. Thanks

Should dev teams in an organisation stick to one branching strategy?

I work on a platform engineering team for a small-mid sized company with 7 dev teams. The teams have a fair bit of autonomy so things such as the branching strategies are up to them. I'm conscious that the most commonly one used is made up. Rather than choose one of the well-known patterns like Git Flow or GitHub Flow, they've invented this sort-of half-Git Flow, where they don't have a develop branch and instead use a release branch as the default. When changes are ready to go to production, the release branch gets merged into master. Not sure how I feel about it really.

As the platform team, one of our responsibilities is to provide the templates, tools and pipeline scripts for the dev teams to do their builds and deployments. The tricky part is that we can't build it around one branching strategy because there's no guarantee it's the same for each team. It also makes it harder to conceptualise a CI/CD process on a more 'enterprise' level (I don't like the word 'enterprise' very much but for want of a better term) and I worry that it makes our ways-of-working as a company more complex, because there's little consistency across teams.

Anyway, what are your thoughts? A more consistent branching strategy is something I'm thinking of advocating for, but I'm curious to hear other points of view first.

self-hosted google-like search engine for workplaces

Consider starting us on Github ⭐: [Star!](https://github.com/gerevai/gerev)

*tl;dr: I built gerev - an open-source search engine for workplace pages, conversations, & docs. It's a privacy centric glean.com alternative.*

Hi my name is Yuval, I'm a devops engineer but I also do open source in my spare time.

I was scrolling through confluence pages trying to find a guide for setting up our testing env for a new microservice I got to workon, later I discovered my co-worker slack'ed me the confluence page two weeks ago.

so *gerev* is a *google-like* search engine for workplace apps, it allows you to find everything from code snippets, conversations, or relevant docs.

It supports natural language queries so a query like: `"how to setup test env for auth service?"` yields (from a confluence page):

curl ...eu.amazonaws.com/setup_auth.sh | sh
export PYTEST_PLUGINS=auth.test_plugin.AuthPlugin
pytest -v --...

**WTF about privacy?!?!**
gerev is completely open-source & self hosted, so no one but you should have access to internal docs.

Wanna try out? Star us on Github! ⭐: [Star!](https://github.com/gerevai/gerev)
(it really does help me out in keeping this thing going)

DevOps Exercises

Hi guys,

I'm not a DevOps engineer. I'm an app developer but I'd like to up my DevOps game, so I'd like do some exercises (with examples I can look at after I do my own example).

The topics I'd like to focus on: AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, and Terraform.

Does anyone have any book recommendations?

terraform cli workflow for aws cloudformation

Hi devops,

I recently open sourced a project that lets you use the terraform cli workflow (plan, apply, destroy, output etc) while using Cloudformation. I got the idea when working at a company that only used Cloudformation. As a die hard terraform fan I got really tired of the crappy aws cli and managing stacks in the console.

You can find the project here: https://github.com/rogerwelin/cfnctl

If you think it's useful you can suggest feature requests or ideas

User permission tracking / logging systems.

I’m curious what methods you are using to manage user permissions. I work for a small startup, but as we grow it’s getting more difficult to manage who has access to what resources & at what level.
We had an employee take an offer elsewhere & it took a while to make sure we’d removed access everywhere.
We are moving toward SSO wherever possible, but that doesn’t encompass all of our needs.

TL;DR : what tools do you use to manage user access?

Easiest certification so I can check a box.

I have about 3.5 years experience in devops at a small business and I need to get a certification, any certification, for a sizeable raise. I dropped out of school and mostly work as a contractor on projects with a dev team etc. My company is going to pay for whatever certification I choose so I'm not worried about price. The thing is I am normally pretty worn down by the end of the day so I'd like to just get one that's easy and mostly stuff I'd already know. My work performance this quarter is what will earn me the raise I just need something I can knock out in a day or two to check the box without burning out.
I am pretty experienced with kubernetes on AWS and bare metal, less on GCP and none on azure. I can easily handle a small-medium sized job on my own and have been the only devops on multiple jobs.


Has anyone taken a cert that was quick and pretty easy and didn't have questions that were so specific that you needed to sit through a 8 hour course first?
