OnCall Fiasco

Friends, I’ve recently started a new job that has brought a challenging work-life balance. This includes unpredictable weekly deployments and releases (9 PM), including Fridays. And be on an oncall every three weeks.

I'm curious if this is normal, especially for senior positions – Is it common for higher-paying roles to demand this much off-hour work?

Any real benefit on going with Datadog for AWS monitoring?

I have been wondering why some steps were taken by my current company and this is one of them.

We only use AWS, hence we only need to monitor AWS services. Therefore I got puzzled on why would someone go the extra mile and pay for Datadog when we have an AWS built-in product like CloudWatch. I could understand using Datadog would be good if we used multiple clouds, but that is not the case and we do not foresee any change to this within a couple of years.

Is there a big difference that would make going for Datadog reasonable if a company only uses AWS services?

Kubernetes-Native Synthetic Monitoring with Kuberhealthy

Today I published an article titled "Kubernetes-Native Synthetic Monitoring with Kuberhealthy", where I explain how you can spin up synthetic monitoring platform in your own Kubernetes cluster using Kuberhealthy, including how to deploy it, configure it, create synthetic checks and set up monitoring and alerting.

Here's the link: https://betterprogramming.pub/kubernetes-native-synthetic-monitoring-with-kuberhealthy-15a8939972a

Advice for becoming a better DevOps engineer

Hi everyone,

I have been recently thinking about growing by DevOps skills set. I know most of the time the answer most companies push their employees with is doing certifications to advance your skills and career, but I don't think I agree with this fully.

I need some advice on which skills to focus on than can improve my DevOps career no matter the tech stack I am working with.

I find it pointless to just pump out cert after cert and in the end I might not even use the skills that the cert taught me. If there are recommended certificates to target, I would like them to be more broad so that I can use the skills from that cert across any project I work on. I am looking for skills and certs that can stand stand the test of time.

If anyone has some recommendations, it would be much appreciated.

What's your take if DevOps colleague always got new initiative / idea?

Hello all, I want to ask and might need a new insight. What is your take if one of your colleague (same devops team) always got initiative / idea although your team is not strong or vast enough to do that due to lack of skill (might be a blocker instead of improvement)

Thank you for reply this thread.

DevOps career guidance

Hello! I'm new to this community and this methodology as well.
I have been trying to learn DevOps since a month now and I'm interning at a company. I was interested in AIML at first, but they gave me DevOps and Development to study. I'm not good at coding tbh, but I'm trying my best to make logic skills strong. (Techstack - Java)

Now, about DevOps, could all the DevOps experts please recommend a road map as to how to learn DevOps and it's tools? What are the resources from where all of you learnt DevOps?
I have come across a lot of road maps and resources, but I want to know from all of you.
Kindly tell the resources as well, if available.

Docker desktop ?

I used to recall docker having instructions on their website to install docker locally with zero issue and now everything on their website eventually points to docker desktop??

Is this the only way to get it without having to install using via option Colima / other customized ways ?

I’ve never used docker desktop so please someone enlighten me why this now

Edit: on MacOS

TLS cert provisioning and secrets management for secure enclaves

Using secure enclaves should be simple, so we developed a system to provide TLS certificate provisioning and secrets management out of the box. To ensure that the abstraction would be completely language agnostic, we also added an on-enclave API to manage encryption, decryption and attestation document retrieval. Here's how we did it.

Why wouldn't you just use all rules for a tool like Sonarcloud?

Our company uses Sonarcloud to do code analysis on our Github repos, to find hidden bugs or pitfalls, to ensure that it's maintainable, etc.

What I'm wondering is; if implementing these rules helps with code and reducing tech debt, why wouldn't a person just implement all rules? It would point out each and every issue with your repos - wouldn't that make you the 'ultimate' programmer, and maximize quality for your repos? Kind of like having a senior programmer standing over you & pointing out all of the ways you can improve your code?

If not, how do you best determine what rules are 'legit' & useful, and what aren't?

Side question: Could I use a tool like this on Visual Studio Code in order to have it critique my code as I write? (Theres an extension called Sonarlint, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use it or not, or it will slow down my learning of code)

My personal speciality is more cloud-oriented, and I don't know too much about the programming side of things.

SAN certificate issue while connecting to API Gateway

Greetings Team,

I have an application on AWS EKS and it makes API call to API Gateway [custom domain\] on another AWS Account.

​

while doing so we are getting following SSL Error. any help is appreciated to fix this.

​

SSL: no alternative certificate subject name matches target host name 'xyz.somedomain.com'

* Closing connection 0

* TLSv1.2 (OUT), TLS alert, close notify (256):

curl: (60) SSL: no alternative certificate subject name matches target host name xyz.somedomain.com

​

trails i made to fix:

tested with empty host and remote host using curl. still same issue. [curl -v -H "Host: " xyz.somedomain.com \]

imported chain/cert to cacerts and updated certificates in pods still same issue.
