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?

Promoting a packer image between Auto Scaling Groups

I have two Auto Scaling groups with one instance, one for staging and other for production. When I am ready to deploy a change to the app I build a new image with packer and trigger an instance refresh in order to the new image be deployed, but I want to promote it to production so want to know which is the better pratice to change environment variables without building the image again?

Using sentry and Datadog, do they both fulfill the same requirements?

Hi,

My company currently uses datadog for monitoring which I have little experience with. I have some experience with Sentry which I used for error tracking on prod environments (we do saas).

MY question is can I use datadog to fulfill the same level of details and ease of use that I had from sentry, or do people usually use both and for different use cases? If I should just be using datadog for prod error tracking, how do I do it other than just having print statements? it seems a lot clunkier to use than sentry has been for me

Thanks!

continuous deployment with ArgoCD

started using ArgoCD lately, and really impressed with its ease of use and deployment capabilities in K8s cluster, one issue observed is when a new image is created how do ArgoCD know it and update it?

I'm using helm and one option is to manually update the image name in values.yaml , update it in Git and sync it and deploy with Argo, but this is not feasible if the app count managed say is more than 2-3+.

Heard about Argo Image updater but their documentation says " We would not recommend it yet for critical production workloads, but feel free to give it a spin."

Just curious how people achieve automated image updates with Argo in real-world production environments?

New storage backend for Jaeger - Feedback welcome!

You certainly know Jaeger and its famous UI for distributed tracing.

But, while Jaeger can work in a standalone mode, it does not offer persistence, and you need to pick up a storage backend. Generally, Elasticsearch or Cassandra.

I worked for several months to provide a third choice: Quickwit, an OSS search engine that searches directly on object storage, you can think of Tempo that puts data on object storage but without an inverted index (which Quickwit has).

If you are using Jaeger (or not), I'm curious about your XP with deploying distributing tracing solutions such as Jaeger and your thoughts about such a third choice.

Ressources to make reusable deployment I can test locally

Hi,

Today I started an internship at a company, and the person in charge of me is basically not there for two days. Colleagues tried to reach out to him, and he told them he may have something to do about deploying a Gitlab Runner and a Sonarqube at a big tech company. They don't use Kubernetes, so I can't just throw a helm chart at the problem, and I don't have any more information apart from that they often use VMs and Ansible.
I could make a bash script, but I fear I might reinvent the wheel or come up something that is not compatible. What is the usual way to get that done ? Do I have so few information that it's pointless, and I should just train at using Ansible with a book ?

Joining Antler/EF as DevOps

A bit off topic, but I've recently heard of these two VCs and their zero day programs, where you join with or without an idea and create a startup from scratch. I have around 5 years of job experience and I also develop open source and full stack projects in my own time.

Unfortunately, I applied to Antler but got rejected.. had a nice devops-ish idea for a product and also wrote a bit about my experience but it didn't help.

My question is, did anybody here do this or something similar, are there any more cool programs like this? If you did, what can I do to try again or get in, as devops or just as a generic tech founder? It really bummed me out because I thought I had a shot.

Pipeline Protection/ Security (additionally for Variable libraries)

Hello All. Can you help me with applying Pipeline protection in Azure where
1) Prod Pipeline uses the prod service connection and
2) dev Pipeline cannot use the prod service connection and should use the Service connection of dev alone.

This needs to be done using terraform.

I have no prior experience in handling these type of issue. Can you explain and provide a solution that I can use?

TIA.

Python projects for devops

Hi, I'm learning python scripting, I had a few courses, wrote a few simple projects from courses. I didn't have any python scripts in my projects at work, so I'm wondering how devops use python scripting, I think in some lambdas in aws like "shutdown some instances". And I need some project ideas, what to write and how to be prepare to work as a devops in python.
