A resilient Redis cluster on kubernetes

I would like to share my experience of deploying a Redis cluster on Kubernetes with different Helm charts. While Bitnami is widely used for Redis clusters, I had doubts about its ability to handle production workloads following a chaos engineering test. After thorough research, I found an extremely robust Helm chart that operates without any problems. In this post, I will introduce this new Helm chart and detail the reasons why it's the superior choice for production deployments.

$65M for Obsevability

Reference: https://twitter.com/TurnerNovak/status/1654577231937544192

​

If this is true, then this is ridiculous. I would hate to be laid-off because the engineering team does not know how to manage the cost of observability.

Multi service ci/cd best practices

I want to understand what are the best practices for ci/cd for a multiservice app,
For example:
If I have a simple web server for displaying different system diagnostics for another project.
On each page of the server they will be info from a different containerised microservice which will be sent via api.

So what is the best practices for the pipeline of such an app?
Should every microservice be on a different repo which would have a seperate ci/cd pipeline?
Or should they be on the same repo with one pipeline?

Help will be much appreciated!

Thanks

Should I use Custom OS image or Docker or Ansible to manage config/installed packages?

I'm trying to have a fully automated pipeline to deploy out different lab VMs for myself.

For example

\- Deploy a fully configured Debian VM running Hashicorp Vault / Nextcloud / NGinx

I already have working Terraform pipelines hooked up to Github repos. It deploys out the Infrastructure.

But I can't figure out the best way to automate the next few steps

\- Install packages and pre-requisites

\- Configure software, install SSL certs

\- Push my private API keys into the VMs and pull newer secrets back to vault etc

Any advice is appreciated. Or if anyone has similar public Repos I can review

what advice would you give me to negotiate a better performance bonus percentage?

I have an offer letter of 100,000 dollars with unlimited PTO, health insurance, and performance bonus. I don't know what the performance bonus percentage is, but how do I negotiate my performance bonus percentage without sounding greedy? is it a good idea, or should I try to ask to negotiate for a sign in bonus?

Books to read

Hi guys,

I’m currently working as a junior devops, so I would like you to give me advice on book list to become more familiar with devops and be more professional. Our project works on .net and angular, and for devops things we use azure cloud, bicep ,azure devops, powershell and some docker. I’m feeling more comfortable now with azure cloud, powershell and azure devops, but there are tons of my weak sides regarding the understanding of .net and angular spa. Especially I see that I can’t understand where to find problem, why some files are located in some folders, so I would appreciate if you could tell me the list of books which can boost my knowledge and become more valued devops specialist.

Thank you!

proxmox / ovh ip failover and bridge

Hello,

I have installed both Lubuntu Desktop and Ubuntu Server on Proxmox VMs. However, I don't have internet access on either of them.

I followed this tutorial, but I still don't have internet access: https://help.ovhcloud.com/csm/en-dedicated-servers-network-bridging?id=kb\_article\_view&sysparm\_article=KB0043731

Currently, I have found a temporary fix, but I must redo it after every reboot:

```

ip link set NETWORK_INTERFACE_HERE up

ip addr add FO_IP_HERE dev NETWORK_INTERFACE_HERE

ip route add GW_IP_HERE dev NETWORK_INTERFACE_HERE

ip route add default via GW_IP_HERE dev NETWORK_INTERFACE_HERE

```

Then, I edit /etc/resolv.conf and add "nameserver 8.8.8.8".

How can I set the IP permanently?

Additionally:

a) I also want to add multiple IPs from one block, like:

1xx.xx.xx.1xx/30

\-- 1xxxx.xx.xx8

\-- 1xxxx.xx.xx9

\-- 1xxxx.xx.xx0

\-- 1xxxx.xx.xx1

How can I add several IPs? I see that I can add one virtual MAC, but each IP has a separate virtual MAC.

b) How can I add 8 blocks to one machine (256 IPs in total)?

I have heard terms like kubernetes , docker , Jenkins , terraform , CI CD pipeline, yaml file etc from YouTube videos .

But i have no idea about where to start from ? Is it installing Linux and understanding it's basic commands or learning about networking?

I have 2 years untill i graduate, in these 2 years i want to become a great devops engineer. What should be the roadmap for me to become a successful devops engineer?

I also want to know about certification or courses/ resources which are beginner friendly.

I appreciate any advice or insights that you can provide. Thanks in advance!

proxmox how to set recurring backup on nfs (external) disk?

Hello,

I have added an NFS backup to my Proxmox setup. From the console, I am able to view and create folders and files on /mnt/pre/backup/.

However, when I select Datacenter > Backup > Add, I only see "Local" in the Storage options, and not "Backup NFS Disk".

How can I create a recurring backup to the backup folder? Do I need to first create a backup locally and then copy/move it to /mnt/pre/backup?

What skills on a resume would make you hire someone from a another country that you wouldn't mostly hire from?

A question to engineering managers, team leaders and senior engineers responsible for hiring here..
What are the skills that can make you go out of your way and hire that engineer

For example:
- Managing k8s clusters at a very big scale
- Observability for a complicated app
- Very intense cybersecurity background
- High skills in a new programming language such as go or rust

Also if you mention a skill can you share project ideas that will help build that skill ?

Can we fix all static code analysis issues with AI?

When AI became a hot topic in development, our engineering team at Codacy saw an opportunity to explore new ground. How can AI help us improve the maintainability and quality of code, faster than ever before?

In the past few years, we've integrated nearly every relevant open-source code analysis tool available in a single platform, Codacy Quality, to help teams improve the quality of their software. Now, taking it to the next level, we came up with a new beta feature called Quality AI.

This means that not only are you able to see issues, but also get automatic suggested fixes directly within your Git provider.

How can you test this out for yourself? Quality AI is open for private beta testing. You can check it out and access private beta here: https://ai.codacy.com/

Here is the blog article detailing this news: https://blog.codacy.com/introducing-quality-ai/

What do you think? Is auto fixing the future of static analysis?

Prime Video reduces costs by 90% by switching from distributed microservices to a monolith application

Hey everyone,

I came across an interesting article on how Prime Video managed to scale up its audio/video monitoring service and reduce costs by 90%. They achieved this by moving from a distributed microservices architecture to a monolith application, which helped them achieve higher scale, resilience, and reduced costs.

The initial version of their service consisted of distributed components that were orchestrated by AWS Step Functions. However, this led to scaling bottlenecks that prevented them from monitoring thousands of streams. They noticed that running the infrastructure at a high scale was very expensive, and the two most expensive operations in terms of cost were the orchestration workflow and when data passed between distributed components.

To address this, they moved all components into a single process to keep the data transfer within the process memory, which also simplified the orchestration logic. This allowed them to rely on scalable Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) and Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) instances for deployment. The high-level architecture remained the same, and they were able to reuse a lot of code and quickly migrate to a new architecture.

What do you think about this approach? Do you think it is a good idea to move from distributed microservices to a monolith application to reduce costs and achieve higher scale and resilience? What are the pros and cons of this approach?

I'm interested to hear your thoughts and opinions on this!

What next?

Hi all!

I'd like to hear your opinion on what should I focus next, as a DevOps engineer with \~1y of experience. Recently I was laid off from a startup company that didn't get the investment they needed, so I am currently applying for new roles.

I have a MSc in System Engineering, so I'd say that my networking and Linux skills are solid. When I say Linux, I mean higher level stuff, like terminal work, bash scripting, general file system and concepts understanding (I do not know kernel, cgruops, namespaces almost at all). I do know and understand networking protocols on different layers and am okay with security standards.

I have some experience with AWS cloud (mainly EC2, S3, Route53, ELB), but not at a great level. I do love working with cloud, though. I have solid automation experience through bash and python. I have wrote tons of Ansible playbooks for many servers. Created custom Linux distributions using Cubic. Setup VPN servers and client config files (Wireguard). I have very solid Docker knowledge, and OK understanding of Kubernetes concepts. We didn't use K8s in my previous company but I have completed some Udemy course and created some clusters on AWS, and made several deployments using different K8s objects. I wrote some BitBucket pipelines for CI/CD processes (most notable being the docker image building, pushing to hub, and deployment of a new container from newly published docker image). I have setup several Nginx servers and wrote config files, with TLS certificats as well. I do understand build process and getting artifacts for most programming languages, did some C++ back in college but am now rusty, but generally understand OOP. I also know some vanilla JS.

I think that my disadvantages are lack of actual K8S experience, lack of terraform, and databases. I am thinking on working on these, but not sure if that's smart. Maybe I should focus more on AWS and its services?

I really am hungry to learn and my journey so far has been really interesting to me, so I definitly find myself in this field long-term. However, I am now without a job and honestly struggling to find a new role.

What do you think I should learn short-term (to get a job), and what should my focus be on in long-term? I hope my questions make sense.

Thank you all!

Is this anti-devops pattern?

Currently at work, the devops team is the only team that uses Terraform. If they make a ci/cd which will allow developers to use Terraform for deploying their own resources like ec2, lambda, etc, will that be considered an anti-devops pattern?

What the fuck is going on with github lately?

They've had 36 incidents since the start of March. Actions are having degraded performance on an extremely regular basis, and it's causing legitimate issues at my company since we rely upon actions for deploying and doing quite a bit of our work. Does anyone know what is going on over there? I really don't wanna have to rewrite all of my actions to run elsewhere, but they are making our team seriously consider making the move
