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.

GCP Folder Structure experiences

This year's goal is to start our GCP footprint to shed some on prem equipment approaching EOL/EOS.

Reading the reference documentation and considering our org layout, I'm probably going to create folders for environments, Prod/Staging/etc.

Should Terraform have its own folder for bootstrapping?

Any feedback on what not to do?

Thanks

How do you manage secret manager token on your cluster

If you use secret manager you will probably have encountered the problem that all the secrets can be kept on the secret manager of your choice (1Password Connect, HashiCorp Vault, ...) but one... The token to connect to that service!

How you solve that problem when you like to keep all on a VCS (Flux, ArgoCD, custom whatever deploy script, ...)?

The only solution for the moment I have found is Secret encrypt them through SOPS or Sealed Secret.

Any other idea?

Feedback, please: Slack tool to summarize long Slack threads and turn them into documentation pages

Nobody likes creating documentation - and so it often is only written once it's first needed: in a lengthy Slack thread.

​

I've built a little tool that you can tag in a thread and it'll rewrite the thread's content into a nice page in your documentation software of choice (currently only confluence).

​

Have you ever seen something similar? How often do you explain something within Slack that's worth putting into documentation?

How do you go about learning a new technology?

I'm currently learning a few new technologies for work. Just today I was looking through the Azure python sdk docs and they are terrible. Other times, I've looked through documentation but I find myself forgetting stuff after a couple of days and still not grasping some of the concepts. So just curious as to how people go about learning a new technology:

- do you use a course/docs?
- do you make notes(handwritten or typed)
- how do ensure you remember what you've learnt
- what do you do when you're stuck and googling doesn't answer your question?

DevOps a more secure career than software development? AI replacing dev jobs?

Hi all. I’ve completed a software coding bootcamp a

Is the job of a DevOps engineer more secure than that of a software developer? I’ve been keeping my ears on the news and the tech layoffs and jobs being replaced by AI.

Needless to say AI has made it more difficult for junior devs to land a job. I’m at a point where I could pivot into DevOps which would take around 70 hours of tutorials to get a cert for DevOps.

If you were a junior dev right now would you continue to pursue programming or would you go into DevOps for the job security? Granted there are currently around 9 times more developer jobs than DevOps jobs on LinkedIn.

Chance of getting a job without kubernetes and cloud architecting knowledge.

Hi, fellas!


So, I have been working in IT Operations for about 4 years: Application support, Infra engineer, DevOps positions. Recently I left my job because company forgot (literally) to pay me couple of times and they thought that was sort of a norm.
And instantly faced the reality of 2023 IT job market. Watched for a new job about 2 months. Pasted OpenToWork badge on a Linkedin and not a single recruiter messaged me. Which is funny, because when i was a green junior, just after creating a profile I got an avalanche of interview invitations.
Sent probably 50+ letters. Of that I got about 4 or 5 interviews, not even technical, just regular team lead tête-à-tête. All interviewers desired me to have cloud architect skills and Kubernetes experience. Unfortunately, literally none of my jobs rolled Kubernetes pods in production, so i have no prod experience of such. Neither had i architect anything in cloud. Though, i know my way around AWS: finished Andrew Cantrill’s courses of curiosity and managed in prod S3, DataSync and CloudWatch. And, of course, I am proficient with regular docker containers and some Nomad.


On your opinion, do I even stand a real chance to find a new devops job in today’s market without production experience of Kubernetes and architecting infra in cloud?


Because if not, I really have no reason to keep beating a dead horse, I guess. Which ("horse") I don’t even like anymore besides a CI/CD and internal software creation parts. And I could try my luck with equally small chances of getting a Junior developer job and do what i really enjoy. Or just retire and start growing beets.

Junior DevOps Job - no docker, no k8s. Good/ bad?

Hey Y'all,

​

A company is interested in gettng me as junior DevOps. I would love to start in DevOps so I am excited, but on the other hand they dont use docker, k8s and any monitoring like grafana or similar.

​

The job would be basically making deployment scripts for their dedicated server with Xen. And taking care of these VMs, updating the bare metal and taking care of incidents.

They are also not really into getting anything on the server that is not necessary which seems from the talks include any monitoring like grafana.

​

My question is: Should i persue it as I want to start as DevOps or will this be a dead end as they dont use any DevOps tech that would get me experience for future and possible other DevOps jobs later down the road ?

How much write up / documentation do you do for dev ops ci/cd and deployments ?

I was handed an instruction 4 weeks ago for doing serverless development. Every part code, db, queue, etc has to be serverless. I took a look at the EA architecture repo and there is a list of docs. C4 diags, Deployment, dependency diagram , sequence diagram, functional and non functional requirements. pipeline descriptions, branching strategy, SBOM, packages and library lists, capacity plan, cost plan, data dictionaries.cloud pattern design patterns. Key Architectureal decisions and a step by step guide.
So I've done it all everything from tf resources to nuget packages, vs code extensions to jenkinsfile stages and everything in between.
I'll admit that there was a touch of malicious compliance in doing it.
