Azure Blocking access to public aks ingress based on ip?
Hi,
In my current project we have an aks cluster which has ingresses managed by nginx-ingress controller. We also have a load balancer with public frontend ip. Nginx-ingress and load balancer are connected through annotations, so the forwarding rules are generated automatically.
Now, we'd like to block the access to that ingress except for select few ip addresses. I've read in this article (and many others and answers on SO) https://medium.com/nerd-for-tech/restricting-access-to-services-deployed-on-aks-using-nginx-ingress-conroller-89291df69036 that setting externalTrafficPolicy to "Local" on kubernetes load balancer service will allow me to keep client's ip address, which I can later use in "nginx.ingres.kubernetes.io/whitelist-source-range".
The issue here is that even after setting that policy every request is still seen as coming from 127.0.0.1 and it doesn't want to show me anything else. I really want to get it to work as the alternative is creating app gateway + waf, which requries so much terraform code.
Does anyone have experience with this?

Restricting access to services deployed on Aks using nginx-ingress controller
While working with services deployed on azure kubernetes services (AKS) we might need to expose those services outside our cluster.
Operator vs an application for visualizing k8s cluster resources
There already exist application like the k8s dashboard, octant and lens that help us get an overview of the resources on a k8s cluster. However, can we build an operator that can run seamlessly within a k8s environment and expose a web interface on a designated endpoint to visualize all resources . Would it be better or worse idea than the applications themselves?

HR interview was cancelled 5 minutes before joining the call. They said I should expect a rescheduled interview. It’s been a week and I haven’t heard back. Should I bother sending an email? I already did two technical interviews with them.
This is a multinational company who I had two technical interviews with first, and then was scheduled to have an HR interview after where I was told I’d be discussing the salary and other HR matters. So the next week I get an email from their HR scheduling a “screening” interview. In my mind I was questioning the “screening” part, because usually the screening is done before the technical interviews with the hiring manager. Yet, I was having it done the other way around. Weird. Anyways, a week later and 5 mins before this HR interview was set to begin, I received an email saying the interview was cancelled due to overlapping meetings and that I should expect a rescheduled call for the interview.
Well, it’s been a week since then and I haven’t received any emails or calls. Does this likely mean I’ve been ghosted and/or rejected? I felt that the technical interviews went well, and the hiring manager even called my personal phone after the interview ended to try and convince me even more to join the company and that I shouldn’t let this chance go to waste, telling me to send him text messages if I have any other questions. But the last technical interview was 2 weeks ago, and the cancelled HR interview was 1 week ago, and I haven’t heard back from them at all. Should I follow up and send an email, or have I been ghosted and rejected? If the former, what should I say to not come across as desperate? Or should I just wait another week?

Looking for a junit report (XML) ingestion solution for insights/historyon test result data
Hello,
I'm looking to dig in further to insights on test executions (retaining historical data), metrics, etc. I know there's paid offerings out there.
Are there anytools/solutions for free out there? Bonus points if it can allow me to push XML JUnit report files as part of CI. I have hundreds of test result artifacts that I would love for it to process and ingest.

How do I avoid convoluted Prometheus/Alertmanager rules in my setup?
I have pods that need different thresholds for the alert rules. For example:
- alert: highmemoryusageresourcelimits
expr: >
(
sum by (container, pod, namespace, env) (containermemoryworkingsetbytes{namespace="unbiased"})
)
/
(
sum by (container, pod, namespace, env) (kubepodcontainerresourcelimits{resource="memory"})
) > 0.85
for: 3m
labels:
severity: warning
annotations:
summary: "High memory usage on {{
Some of my pods would need a different threshold. Currently what I'm doing:
1. Add
2. Clone the rule and set the specific pod name I need to monitor with a different threshold.
From a quick Google search I saw that I can use templating/relabeling. Is there a good strategy that I can learn from to understand how to apply it in my environment?
I'm pretty new to Prometheus in general so any tips on this subject would be appreciated.

The OSI Model - When do you guys think about it?
So I've been doing research between the differences of load balancers & ingress controllers.
Feel free to add but:
>They are both ways of managing traffic ( This is the heart of what they do )
>Ingress controllers have more features than basic load balancers, allowing the SSL certificate to float within them, this lets them perform the SSL/TLS termination, important as HTTP means less in the headers therefore faster routing later on ( Does anyone have a number? )
>In technical terms, load balancers operate on Layer 4, and Ingress controllers operate on Layer 7.
This is the first time I've encountered the OSI model in around 6 months! What do you guys use it for, does it help visualise infrastructure!?
Because I've used it so little, knowing that load balancers operate on L4 vs Ingress's L7 does little to help me understand, therefore shooting this into the subreddit!
Thanks

How do you handle database deployments?
Hi! I’m running a relatively small architecture for a Django application. I’m standing up all cloud resources via terraform, including a managed database that my app relies on.
At the moment, one terraform apply creates every resource in the cloud. DNS, Load Balancing, server, database etc…
I’m thinking of removing my database out of the terraform apply and instead manual build that resource via CLI rather than including it in the terraform action. My reasoning here is that I dont want to constantly be deleting a database only for me to upload the same data again. As I’m building my application, I’m constantly terraform destroying resources and building everything up again to catch dependencies.
Curious to how others are deploying their databases.

mTLS using a forward proxy?
I have an application that needs to connect to postgresql, using a binary protocol over TCP.
If the postgresql server requires mTLS from the client, is it possible to use HAProxy as a forward proxy to handle the secure TCP TLS connection to postgresql? Thus freeing the application from the obligation to learn how to use mTLS? Is it possible to use Nginx as a forward proxy? For Nginx I believe the TCP forwarding can be done with the stream {} block, but I haven't seen an example where mTLS is used -- I have done this for HTTP traffic. Similarly for HAProxy, I have seen configurations with TCP forwarding only.
APP --- (TCP plain) ---> HAProxy OR Nginx --- (TCP with mTLS) ---> PostgreSQL

- Github Security: 49$/developer/month
- Snyk: 25$/product/developer/month, min of 5 developers per product (min 1,500$ per year)
- SonarQube: Open-source not enough for security; Developer plan exponential price in terms of lines of code

Cert recs for an incoming masters (MSCS)student in Germany. (Related to cloud/devops/sysadmin/linux)
I'm an in coming masters (MSCS) student for the october 2024 intake in Germany , Ive got some time to work on my skills to land a student job preferably related to cloud/devops/sysadmin/linux. Now ik getting a cloud or a devops role right off the bat is impossible without some practical experience. So assuming a helpdesk job is a good start what are some cert yall would recommend to upskill myself to land one?
I know certs dont guarantee a job but i think its a good thing to have for somebody with no IT experience
I have done some googling and surfing on the internet and found that a linux cert would be a good starting point like the RHCSA or the Linux foundation though most tend to prefer a vendor certificate.
Also i did read that the AWS foundation cert is another beginner cert but it feels more like a sales cert with not much technicality to it so im not sure what to think of it.
So what would yall recommend I start with? (Even if not for a student job, I'd like to start upskilling myself right from my first year of masters so advice unrelated to the posts are also welcome!)
PS: I'm learning German and hope to get better by interacting with native German speakers once I move there cause i feel like i need to keep listening to the language to get the hang of it.

Update to HR ghosting me after 2 technical interviews
See previous post for details
So I decided to send HR an email after being ghosted. Got a reply in less than 5 minutes from an entirely different person saying "sorry for the delay" and that they would like to schedule a 15-minute HR interview as a "final step." Note that the previous HR interview was supposed to be 40 minutes "screening" where I assumed I'd get behavioral questions and provide a rundown of my experience. Now it's a short 15 minute interview with a completely different person.
Okay, so what is going on? Is 15 minutes even enough to discuss HR related matters like salary? What should I expect here?

CI/CD process for Azure Data Factory on GitLab
Hi,
I encountered a little problem. I'd like to create a CI/CD process for ADF(pipelines, datasets,linked services etc., ADF instance is created by dedicated team) but all stuff on the Internet is about ADF and Azure DevOps. I have a requirement that it must be Gitlab(I had discussed it already and it cannot be changed).
I am wondering:
- how to structure repository for my ADF and associated resources like Azure Functions or Synapse Spark Jobs which are triggered from ADF
- what steps CI should contain and what CD process
- how development process should look like, I imagine that somebody creates ADF pipeline on UI and then what...copy and paste a json definition to repository?
- how to move DEV to QA and PROD envs
ends
- how to store state of resources?
Thank you in advance ☺️

I am DevOps/cloud engineer on demand. My company has multiple clients and work with 2 of these clients, 4 hours each.
I feel drained and unmotivated, and I feel when am split up I can't focus.
The worst part is that one of these client is a software on demand firm and has 2 clients.
So I work for 3 different projects.
Is this normal? Or it's me that is not adapting?
I am even thinking of changing careers for something with more programming.

Nginx sticky sessions
hi everyone,
Im learning devops and i have this assignment, it requires me to run
3 python app servers with Flask that route to my localhost
DB server using MySQL that logs a counter for each time a connection is made to localhost and the IPs of server/person trying to connect (the apps are configured to store these logs
NGINX serving as a load balancer
With docker compose im running all those containers.
Now the issue is that i need to implement sticky sessions to the nginx load balancer to stick to an IP for 5 minutes.. for this i need some modules. It seems like I can’t configure the modules to download with the dockerfile as the nginx:latest image does not include them. I cant use ip_hash as well..
Can anyone help me please?

Handling Docker File/Compose Creation
How are you handling your dockerfile and docker-compose.yaml file creation?
I've been letting two of my Sr Devs handle the creation of them and then hand them to me, largely they have been fine. I do end up having to do some work in them though.
I am considering creating a template for both compose and file that they can pull down and add what's needed to them, of course with the deploy compose files being mostly variables to pull from GitHub.

3 YOE A bit quiet 4 Months into my new role . What to focus on?
For reasons out of my control, and my manager knows, I don't have much work going on. My manager has outlined my eventual responsibilities, but this is some time away. You might think this is the best thing ever, but it is driving me insane. I've always been used to putting out fires constantly, albeit in interesting lines work but I was always severely underpaid.
Fast forward to now, I am paid double compared to previous role, but the caveat is I don't have much to do. The standard suggestion would be to get a cert of some sort, but I have 4 AWS certs and recently did the CKA so I am bored out of my mind and I cannot go through doing another multiple choice exam/Preperation.
I am strong in AWS, Kubernetes, Networking, Docker, did a lot of Python some time ago but It dried up. What should I focus on? Should I try and learn Azure etc? did a lot of CICD previously, including Jenkins, GitLab, AWS pipelines etc etc.
TLDR - Happy with salary, but not much work at the moment. Worried about skill atrophy and also sick of studying for certs.

So, I passed my KCNA exam yesterday, I just received an email saying that I achieved the passing score and I can download my cert from the portal, however can’t see my score on the portal even after 24 hours of finishing the exam. Also, now that I have passed this exam could ya’ll guide me on which cert should I prepare for now? I have 3 weeks before my college starts.

How much do you care about the cloud infra costs that your company incurs?
As an SRE, architect, or software developer, how much do you care about the cloud costs that the products you build and support incur? Do you think much about cloud cost when designing systems? Do you ever look at the cost once a product/feature is in production?
