A question About Devops

So I am just getting into IT and stuff but someone said that if I go to this Devops meetup thing and go to the classes they would get a job but the problem is that I don’t understand anything we are doing becuse I am just starting to get into IT so I don’t understand. The question I have is that is Doing Devops right now a waste ?

I forgot to add that I am only 18 year old right now .

Tutorial: Run Proxmox VE 6.0 using Vagrant

I wrote a tutorial on how to run the virtualization platform Proxmox VE 6.0 in a VM using Vagrant. I've mostly used this setup for Proxmox related development and testing. Maybe someone else will find it useful. :)

If you have any ideas on how I can improve the article, I'd really appreciate the feedback, thanks! :)

Jr Devops, remote jobs andscape

Hello Redditors,

I've been lately trying to move myself from networking (where I've worked mostly with ISP stuff like BGP, MPLS with several brands) to a devops role, I've acquired the AWS SA:A and working on AWS SysOps:A too, however I'm finding really hard to get a job for devops as a jr remotely.

I know how to code in python, speak english and spanish, git, cloudformation, a little bit of jenkins (some small labs), have worked a lot with linux and have done several labs including various tech in AWS and GCloud. I know quite a lot about networking since this is mostly what I've done in the past (around 5 years), I've also worked quite a lot remotely.

What do you think about the current landscape of this field for JRs who seek to work remotely? I am trying to work remotely because I live in latinamerica, devops here is... well null and when you find a job about that it's basically very very low paid (trying to get a salary increase).

Any ideas on where should I be looking? or if I should just suck it and find on-site jobs over here and then try the remote positions with more experience?

My company wants to start an analytics program. Advice what infra to use?

Hey,

I have a few questions as a totally analytics noob (but I'll be responsible for our analytics infra and code)

The company I work at wants to start a new analytics program after a pivot and new tech stack. Initially it will mostly support internal business intelligence with the intention that those analytics will turn into a customer facing product.

We currently use have a BI copy of all our postgres dbs and have mode analytics on top of that for our core transactional data. We also pump event analytics into segment. But product and marketing dont seem to be bought into that and keep talking about data warehouses and adhoc querying. A few product and marketing folks can use mode and amplitude but they dont seem happy about that saying it's too complex (ie. We use postgres jsonb for everything so queries are complex and support for relations to do joins and such is really hard)

Can anyone with analytics infra experience give me advice on how I should proceed? I am tasked with building our new analytics setup but without much experience i dont see the problems with out current set up.

Thanks!

Are Azure certs worth it right now?

I feel like Azure certs haven't been very steady. By the time I start looking at material, it's already outdated or the video course is out dated. Thoughts?

Automate login to Azure in PowerShell using Connect-AzureAD

Hi, I have a PowerShell Core script that takes an AzureAD user name and assigns it access to a few AzureAD Enterprise apps in multiple Azure tenants.

I need to dockerize the script so it can be used to automate new user roll-on.

Currently it was made for manual execution. To do all the AzureAD actions I need to use Connect-AzureAD cmdlet to authenticate the session with Azure admin permissions.

I can do it manually (after using cmdlet it gives a code that I need to enter in MS authentication page) but this will not work in an automated pipeline.

Is there a way to automate this?

How to automate outside teams?

In large corporations sometimes you can only go as fast as your slowest team. What are strategies to make teams who will not fully automate and upper management will not solve the issue? I am talking about teams other than software, such as legal. Is there a bottom up strategy that would work? A lot has already been tried with no success. The software teams already know how to automate the tasks, but people outside the software teams don’t want automation and they are experts in their field and fight upper management. This slows down the entire organization.

Spinnaker VS Terraform - can they co-exist?

We use Terraform extensively, for all our deployments. So much so than when I suggested we take a look at Spinnaker, there was a bit of hesitation because it might conflict with our existing Terraform IAC framework.

Can I make them work together? Should I? What really separates them? For me, the immutability of Terraform IAC is the most valuable aspect, aka being able to destroy and recreate from scratch and have everything exactly as declared. Can Spinnaker accomplish this as well?

I saw that Google uses Spinnaker and Apple had a position that also required it. if it's the next thing (Outside Netflix) I want to get into it. I started exploring it 2 years ago but it seems too complicated to get going. Now we have tutorials on running Spinnaker on Kubernetes (like v2 on EKS) and stuff.

I have a limited amount of time to invest implementing new techs. If this is not the way of the future, I can spent that time strengthening my knowledge of K8s, implementing Prometheus, which I know are both very required and marketable skills right now.

Anyone with experience care to chime in? Would love to hear some perspectives, thanks!

Need ideas for provisioning software on a $5 digital ocean droplet

So my scenario is that I have a digital ocean droplet that runs a spring boot app. The app uses configuration files that's configured via environment variables.

Now, I'm used to deploying these kinds of apps with docker/kubernetes. But now without these, the deployment is something like:

* Script to install packages
* Create a user
* scp config files and spring boot jar.
* run as a background job using nohup
* wrap all of these as functions in a shell script

This is all happening on a $5 Digital Ocean ubuntu box and quite a pain. What's a "as painless as it can get way" for me to provision my environment?

Golang Cafe is now open source

[Not long ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/devops/comments/9lktpl/golang_cafe_a_go_only_job_board_with_no/) I've submitted [Golang Cafe](https://golang.cafe) on this subreddit and got many positive comments. I'm always glad to build something that is useful to people. This time as requested by many already I've decided to open source Golang Cafe [https://gitHub.com/golang-cafe/golang.cafe](https://gitHub.com/golang-cafe/golang.cafe)

The project started as a prototype and the code is light years from being perfect but it's a starting point. Happy if anyone has feature requests or ideas you can share on the issue tracker :)

The DevOps Transformation Speed Bump

Have any of you experienced the DevOps Speed Bump where things seem to be going well but get derailed at some point?

I've seen a pattern emerge over my years of consulting with companies in the process of implementing some form of DevOps so I decided to write about it. Check it out and let me know what you think or if you've come across this phenomenon before.

What are the equivalences of Azure DevOps on-premises and online for Linux/Unix?

Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azure_DevOps_Server#On-premises_vs._online) says "Azure DevOps is available in two different forms: on-premises ("Server") and online ("Services")."

Can software development over Linux platform use Azure DevOps in either form?

If yes, is it popular among companies?

What are their native equivalences for Linux/Unix?

Thanks.

Can you have CI/CD without DevOps?

The term CI/CD has become a buzzword bingo and looks like the firms who aren't doing it still think that's the way forward to achieve DevOps, so my question is, can you do CI/CD without DevOps?
