How to call Oracle DB from Cloudfoundry?

I have a python script that uses ODBC DSN and SMTP address to query a database and send an email with data.

I want to run the script as a service on my Cloudfoundry, but there isn't an oracle driver in the container.

How can I set up my Cloudfoundry to handle DSN configurations so I can run the script in a Cloud?

Hey Engineers, I have just enrolled in the Kodekloud Pro Course and am following the DevOps path. I have a question: I see that Python in the DevOps course is listed for 1 hour and 43 minutes, with a few exercises. Is this amount of Python basics sufficient for DevOps, or should I learn more Python?

Aws test for a devops consultant role for mission.dev

Hello, i m a submarine user here, sometimes because the stack mentioned is not what i use, most of the time because i come only accross lack of jobs post, and seeing to much negativity is not got for me.
But i really enjoy the sub, and know it can be really helpful (for roasting resume) in many professional situations.

I have a test to complete for mission.dev and wanted to know if any of you have an idea of what it is about because there is no preview, i just know it is on aws ci/cd pipeline among other things.

Thanks in advance.

Is it true that the best way to learn devops is by applying it?

I had someone asking me how do I know all of this and to be honest I dont know how to answer that.

Different from programming is that I never formally read a book or courses in the large amount when comparing to when I first started learning to program. Most of the stuff like docker, k8s, microservice etc is learned by reading technical article and have no clue and start using it with like 30% of knowledge and learning while doing approach. I wonder if the same experience applies to you guys here as well?

Is moving into a Cloud Tech Solutions Engineer a stepdown? (Currently SysDE)

Hey everyone,

So currently I am working as a SysDE and a recreuiter reached out to me regarding a Cloud Tech Solutions Engineer role. Both companies are FAANG and while I like my current job, I prefer the other company more. The pay is a little better, they have better RTO but less flexability on hours (due to the role). I guess I am more worried about the role being a TSE instead of a DevOps or SRE, is TSE considered as a step down from DevOps?

I would appreciate any advice approaching this.

Deepseek LLM deployments in Cloud

With all the hype around DS LLMs, has anyone managed to set up Deepseek in cloud infrastructure? Is the de facto deployment to use Ollama?

If not, what approach did you take for rolling it out?

What's your preferred OAuth server?

I've not really got any experience with OAuth and was looking to play around with some stuff in my homelab to get some more experience.
Ideally, I'd be looking for something which also provides OIDC so I can setup a SSO solution.
This isn't a requirement of my role, but would be useful for me to get hands on with something which is regarded as an industry standard.

Based on my searching, it seems like two good options are Keycloak or Zitadel?
Any suggestions on where I should be put my efforts? Or is it just the same thing didn't tech?

New to web development. I'm currently working on web-based game that uses Redis, MongoDB, BullMQ, and NodeJS. I read something about Redis and MongoDB changing their license, does this affect me?

The title explains my question, I was wondering if I started my project with software I'd eventually have to pay.

After reading some articles, it seems like it would affect people who make money offering some of this software as a service.

But if I use this software for my game, should I be worried? Thanks!

Quick Update

I also forgot to mention that I also plan on using Jenkins.

EKS refresher class

Hey Guys,

Was doing a lot of EKS work about a year ago but switched role and I did mostly GHA and CI migrations.

It came full circle and my team now has a need for a dedicated EKS to host some ETL processing.

Can you guys recommend some good EKS class refresher.

Thanks.

Transition from SysAdmin to Devops what does it require ?

Hi, So I was learning more about system administration then came to know that DevOps and SysAdmin are interrelated more as one is an evolution of the other as DevOps automates many SysAdmin process (pardon me if I am wrong about these facts !).

I just wanted to know that on average what are the skills required to transition to DevOps and when do people make this transition like in terms of skills and experience on the Job for system administration.

DevOps Engineers, why did you choose DevOps as a career over a developer job, even though developers generally have a better work-life balance and less stress than DevOps roles. Is it due to passion, the potential for a better salary, or some necessity?

Log quota and rate limiting

Hey folks, want to see how others have tackled this problem.

Right now we use EKS and Datadog is our observability provider. Logs are collected by vector acting as logging agent, they send data to Datadog via some vpc peering connection.

The problem we have is Datadog is ungodly expensive, and log costs are out of control. What I would like to be able to do is set log quotas per service before they reach Datadog, since filtering them there imputes the ingestion cost.

I have thought about deploying vector as an aggregator to take advantage of it's throttling capability, but with multiple replicas and multiple clusters, it is hard to actually apply a global quota to a service (IIUC this throttling would only be per vector pod)

At a past job we built a custom rate limit service but afaik vector doesn't have an easy to use mechanism that would support calling a service like that even if we did build one.

Curious how others have tackled this problem with similar infra, because our logging costs need to be reined in but we want to do so with an easy lever for teams to increase when they have a good reason or organic growth.

Is there a tool to manage multiple contexts for credentials?

I have multiple customers who has multiple environments - aws, azure, various k8s clusters. Is there a convenient tool to switch context all at once like kubectx but to switch with aws/azure/ssh crends and multiple ENV variables? Currently I am just using custom bash scripts + mac os terminal profiles to reset it, it feels kinda hacky and a hassle.

What are you using for it? Vagrant?

About IT intership

Hello, in just over a month I have an entrance exam to an IT company for student internships, where if I am accepted and I do well, I may receive a job offer as a junior administrator. I found out that the entrance exam will be on Linux + cloud basics (I think something was said about AWS, because at the end it is possible to take a certificate). My question is, what should I do to actually pass this exam well? In college, I had some basics of Linux and configuration, etc., but my knowledge is very unorganized. Hence the question, what exactly to do? Should I start taking courses or maybe some VM projects? where and how to best use this month to learn as much as possible about Linux and the basics of the cloud to make it happen? I will be grateful for any help.

My journey to gradual automation for DevOps workflows

Hi everyone!

I’ve been exploring an idea around gradual automation for DevOps workflows and wanted to share a small open-source tool I’ve been working on.

The concept is inspired by Do-Nothing Scripting - where instead of going straight to full automation, you start with a structured manual workflow and automate steps gradually over time. The goal is to bridge the gap between fully manual and fully automated processes while keeping things flexible and easy to modify.

This is still super early POC, and I’d love to get feedback from others who deal with ops workflows daily:

* Do you think gradual automation is useful in your work?
* What tools do you currently use for something like this? (e.g., Bash, Ansible, Rundeck, internal scripts, other?)
* What would make this more valuable for you?

I don’t want to reinvent the wheel- I just think there’s a gap in how we transition from manual steps to automation, and I’d love to hear if this resonates with anyone else.

Check out the idea and let me know your thoughts: [https://github.com/StencilFrame/autopilot/blob/main/docs/IDEA.md](https://github.com/StencilFrame/autopilot/blob/main/docs/IDEA.md)

Would love to hear your feedback!

How does your company track & manage software spending(Cloud & Beyond)? Looking for insights to build something better!

Hey everyone!


My company currently uses Google Sheets to track all our tool/software spending across teams, but I'm thinking of building a dedicated solution for this. Before I dive in, I'd love to learn from your experiences:


* What tools are you using to track and budget software spending? (SaaS or open source)
* What features do you find essential in managing tool expenses?
* What are your biggest pain points with your current system?

Would really appreciate insights from companies of any size - whether you're using spreadsheets, dedicated software, or custom solutions. Your experience could help shape a better tool for everyone!
Looking forward to your suggestions and experiences!
