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 ?

​

Thanks

Deploy Microservices to Azure Cloud

Hi all,

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?


Thanks a lot!

Are DevOps challenges industry specific?

Hi all,

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!

How are you guys using machine learning models inside services and pipelines?

I am just curious to know how are machine learning models deployed. For example, are you guys deploying it on a GPU enabled instance and keeping the GPU up and running 24/7 or are you using serverless trigger-based services that are doing the job for you?


In our case what we need to do is, run a service once in 24 hours. What is the best way to do this if our models require GPU? And it's a 3 step process i.e. 3 different models in each step are being used.


What can be the best way to do this?


Thanks!

Looking for a tool like pagerduty

I'm looking for something like pagerduty for the company I work for we are looking for something to improve the experience for customers of our managed services offering.
Not sure if pagerduty is even what I'm looking for so I thought I'd ask here for suggestions.
Our requirements are quite simple we already have a ticketing system, we also have monitoring and all we need is a tool to get hold of a person that can look at a given issue that comes up and to kind of annoy that person till they acknowledge that they've been reached. Would be cool if it had an API too.
The place I work for does managed services for cloudservices and variations of Kubernetes offerings.

What I basically want to get out of this is:

* Improved customer experience.
* Some visibility for customers in terms of if we are meeting SLA.
* Some cool reporting functionality
* Ability to resolve issues quickly and smoothly both for the team responding to relevant issue and for the customer that the resource belongs to.

Would love to hear your suggestions?

What I've looked at so far:

* Pagerduty
* OpsGenie
* uptimerobot
* site24x7
* zenduty
* victorops

Thanks for your suggestions and time

Project management, spring planning, and code tracking software?

I'm starting a new gig in a startup with a few developers and a couple designers along with overseas developers. We are looking for a tool we can all use that allows for some project management features, sprint planning with subtasks and backlog, and documenting issues with code commits. We are aware of some pros/cons with tools such at Gitlab, Jira, Trello. I'm also aware of PM tools such as Monday.com, Basecamp, or Asana.

Does anyone have recommendations for a common tool for around 10 users that can do what we are looking for?

Unable to create Dockerfile on Windows laptop

When I run "docker image build -t web1 ." on my command prompt , I get this error:

Terraform: Storing State in S3

In this article I'm going over the why and how of storing state in S3 and using DynamoDB to provide state locking: [https://www.thecloud.coach/terraform/storing-state-in-s3/](https://www.thecloud.coach/terraform/storing-state-in-s3/)

I've actually worked with organisations in the past who stored their state in Git. It was a mess and instead of working with Terraform's built in state management functionality they designed a contrived set of processes for not stepping on each other's toes. Yikes!

With this article I wanted to demonstrate why it's important to use something like S3 and why it's equally as important to use locking too. Both are critical to protecting your state's life-cycle and the integrity of your infrastructure.

I use two examples as a "proof of concept": not using S3 and having two people's works collide and cause a nightmare; and a second example along the same lines but using the better approach, demonstrating how it's superior.

Has anyone else found state being stored in a Git repo in their organisation?

Tomcat web manager with HTTPS

Has anyone ever configured tomcat web manager to use HTTPS instead of HTTP? There doesn’t seem to be much if anything online about this subject and tomcat documentation doesn’t address it at all. Any tips our sources would be greatly appreciated.

What I’ve tried:
I’ve configured the manager.xml and the tomcat-users.xml file and i have it working via cli over http. The web gui hasn’t worked for me yet even after allowing my desktop IP access via the “allow” tag in manager.xml, and configuring the “manager-gui” role and accompanying user with manager-gui permission.

I’ve also tried a few other things involving https, but the results were inconsistent and i was never actually able to reach the “/manager/list” context via cli to see the app statuses. This mostly consisted of using curl to hit the registered dns entry for the server that would match the dns hostname on my ssl cert for this tomcat server, using the SSL port configured for the server as well. I received the “403 access denied” page you would get on the web gui if u navigated to the “/manager/html” context without having gui access configured properly.

Employment Prospects

Hello everyone! I work in Network Operations and have been working in Information Technology off an on for around 8 years or so. I would consider myself more of a Systems Technician level (in between an advanced helpdesk and Systems Administrator) but am kind of at a standstill of employment prospects around my region. I live in the North Louisiana jurisdiction (ArkLaTex) and will [potentially] be moving to East Texas this fall. I was wondering if anyone either (1) lives around that vicinity and/or (2) has remote work that is hiring?

Connect Jenkins for SCMs with (Bitbucket/GitHub/GitLab/Azure Repos)

When design a pipeline of CI/CD for any application, one of the first steps is use a SCM (Source Code Management) to extract the code for build, test and deploy, but sometimes the configuration for the remote repositories change according with the plugin or options. I’ve used the next git repositories: Bitbucket, GitHub, GitLab and Azure Repos in many projects. Check my post for more information.

Fluentd: Trying to flatten json field

Hey Guys,

My docker container gives stdout in json format, so the log key within fluentd output becomes a nested json

I m trying to flatten the log key value,
example:
`{"timestamp":"utc format",`

`"log":"{"docker":"output","in":"json"}",`

`"fluentd_tag":"some_tag"}`

Expected o/p

`{"timestamp":"utc format",`

`"docker":"output",`

`"in":"json",`

`"fluentd_tag":"some_tag"}`

I tried using record\_transformer plugin to remove key "log" to make the value field the root field, but the value also gets deleted.

Any suggestions would be great.
