[Blog] Securing remote dev teams - Feedback

There has been a huge surge in teams now working from home as well as an increase in bad actors trying to exploit vulnerabilities because of this.

I created a blog with some steps organizations can implement to keep their remote workforces secure. Be interested in getting your feedback

[Career advise] Potential job opportunity as first DevOps person on the team

Hi all,

So In all of this pandemic madness I find myself searching for a job and I have received a promising opportunity. I wanted to get some input/advise, without going into too much detail I have about 4 years experience in the DevOps space 6 years total. In my last role I was an SRE (until last week) and I really did love my last job but that ship has sailed. That brings me to where I am right now. The opportunity that I am looking into is is in the Healthcare industry (Toronto). I don't have all the details yet but from the job description and what I know from the recruiter all of the requirements are not far from what I was doing in my last role with the one big exception being I would be the first "DevOps" person on the team.

This puts me in an very interesting spot because at my previous company I found myself really taking a lot more ownership over tasks/projects and was leading a fairly large project (over 6 months) that evolved a lot of collaboration and close work with developers. It was one of my first big attempts at leading and based on feedback etc I was told that I nailed it. Most importantly, as stressful as it was I really did enjoy it.

When I heard about this opportunity I was really excited immediately followed by being nervous at the thought that I would be running the show in terms of owning Production, monitoring, DevOps practices etc. I anticipate getting an interview this week or next based on the feedback from the recruiter (I know its not a sure thing). It puts me in an interesting spot because I know if I were to get the role it would be a sink or swim kind of environment, but I feel like the potential experience and opportunity that could come out of this would be monumental for career growth and possible the next big step for me. I already have a big list of questions that I would have for the interview should I get it but this is where I would really appreciate input/advice/experiences that would give me some perspective on if this is really what I want as well as if I am ready for it.

I know that I don't even have an interview setup but even just the thought of this possible opportunity has got me really thinking about what direction I want to go in my career and even if I do not get the role or even an interview I think any advise would greatly help me in searching for what I am looking for next.

TL;DR

Got laid off due to COVID, Potential job opp as the first DevOps person at a new company, some experience in leading and looking for next big career move. What do?

Thanks!!

Building Software Engineering Skills

Hey everyone,

I come from a Sysadmin/Network Admin and have noticed that a lot of the SRE roles require Software Engineering experience and was curious what some of you that came from Sysadmin background did to get your feet wet in Software Engineering. It seems like the popular languages are Golang and Python. I also looked at Treehouse courses and Codeacademy courses but feel like those may not be enough? I want to level up in my career.

Any tips or advice? Thank you!

ArgoCD: Vulnerabilities and Mitigations

During a security review of Argo, I identified five vulnerabilities in ArgoCD’s web interface. Details for each issue are available in the link below:

https://www.soluble.ai/blog/argo-cves-2020

Two of the five issues have been fixed in yesterday’s v1.5.1 release. The three remaining issues have not yet been fixed and require manual mitigations if you are not using SSO for authentication.

Any good project/script to port CircleCI config to Gitlab CI configs?

Hey folks, we are using CircleCI and it's serving us pretty well. However, we are planning to migrate to Gitlab (Don't want to maintain 2 different tools for CI and Version control).

I came across a few projects for porting CircleCi configs, but they are mostly outdated.

Thanks for any recommendation!

Need help with BamBoo(CI/CD)

Can I use BamBoo REST APIs in a script(bash/python) to automate build for all the projects/plans/stages. So that I shouldn't use BamBoo UI for those plans/jobs individually.

If I can can someone share an example or guide me how to do that and if I am not in a right place to ask this, please let me know where to ask.

Thanks in advance

NXRM3 (Sonatype Nexus Repository) REST API not working

I have a Java/maven project and using the nxrm3 to release the project (jar) into self-hosted NXRM3.

Sonatype Nexus Repository ManagerOSS 3.21.1-01

The maven settings to the repository is correct (I can upload jar manually and then use it as dependency on another project connecting to the private repository)

So now, I am trying to push an artifact to it with:

mvn -X -Preleases install nxrm3:staging-deploy -Dtag=test-123

It can't seem to connect to the repository REST API:

Failed to execute goal org.sonatype.plugins:nxrm3-maven-plugin:1.0.3:staging-deploy (default-cli) on project mycompany-nxrm3-test: Create tag was unsuccessful (404 response from server)

When I login to NXRM3 UI and see the logging, it reaches the server but it cant seem to find the REST API, the log shows:

Unified workspace

Hi everyone,

I began a Cloud/DevOps jobs few months ago and i'm a little bit concerned about my workspace. As i'm working with the three tops cloud providers and many company private services (GitLab for example) i'm always switching between differents tool: VisualCode, Cmdr, AWS console, Gcloud console, WSL... etc

I feel like i'm losing so much time and i'm not able to save my preferences on editor or else, is there a quick way to unify all this ?

I‘m looking for the simplest way to host a few microservices in Azure Cloud to provide some development environment.
Do you think I can use Web App for Containers for that or do I have to use Kubernetes?

Wanting to get some insights into the kind of challenges devops teams are facing within particular industries- retail, media, telecom, IT. Are these challenges specific to the industry that the enterprise is in, or would you say it's across the board?

Docker image SHA changes but there is no change to the docker file or source app

Hello fellow redditors,

I have a weird case of SHA images changing for what appears to be no good reason.
The docker file doesn't change and as far as I can tell, the source image SHA didn't change at all between builds.
Basically I am just working on the automation part building over and over the same image. At first, the tags were just adding up to the same image, but, for the past day, each new run of docker build changes the image SHA. The tag I push it with changes, but that is the only thing that changes.

Any ideas as to why the image sha changes?

Thanks!
