Need advice on http3 reverse proxy

I'm developing a real time chat system using http3 for the communication between client and server. Right now it works fine locally by connecting directly to the server with a long-lived connection. I was thinking of setting up a reverse proxy to add some security measures. Now, i know that nginx has support for http3, but as far as i understand it, it just enables http3 for the client and then redirects the request to the actual server via http2 or 1.1. That won't work for me since the service itself is http3. Could anyone correct/guide me on this? What options do i have?

Also sorry if this is not the most correct sub to ask this in. Any help is appreciated

VMware

Any DevOps working with VMware? If so, what are some must know things about it? Are you building it yourself or working on existing ones?

How is AI actually getting deployed in your org? 🧟‍♂️

Curious what deployment patterns people are really using (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab, Azure DevOps, etc.)

New in DevOps & loving it — but concerned about long-term career prospects. Need advice.

Hey folks,

I recently transitioned into a DevOps role at a service-based company and I’m really enjoying it. I’ve been learning a lot — Kubernetes, GCP, Docker, Jenkins, and more.

However, I’ve noticed quite a few posts here where people with 3–4 years of DevOps/SRE experience are struggling to find jobs. That got me thinking…

My questions:
1. What’s going on with the current tech job market?
2. For someone early in their DevOps career, what should I focus on to stay relevant long-term?
3. I’m considering learning MLOps since AI is booming — would that complement DevOps skills?

My goal: Keep growing, eventually specialize in a niche that will stay in demand, and future-proof my career.

I’d love to hear from experienced folks — what skills, tools, or career moves helped you stay ahead?

Thanks in advance! 🚀

Jenkins is truly excellent.

Jenkins \+ gitea runner covers pretty much all our production needs, and you can even set up many parameterized tasks for non-tech folks, and no extra UI needed. Just, just don’t overload it with extra plugins, keep groovy usage in check, and write your Jenkinsfile properly.

HashiCorp Vault - is it worth it?

Hello party people!

I’m a DevOps/Platform Engineer currently reviewing our secret management approach, specifically evaluating HashiCorp Vault to see if it’s worth implementing on our platform.

Some background:
We run multiple AKS clusters (PROD and DEV) with \~200 deployments in each. Our current CD strategy is a push-based model where every deployment includes all necessary configs, values, and images. The clusters are shared across 10 autonomous teams, each with scoped RBAC and governance per namespace.

The challenge:
We use multiple CI/CD tools and have secrets/configurations scattered across different locations. This makes management and consistency tricky.

The question:
Would it make sense to centralize environment variables and secrets in HashiCorp Vault, rather than embedding them in our CD pipelines? I imagine this could be even more beneficial if we move away from push deployments towards a pull-based approach (e.g., ArgoCD).

That said, we’re short-staffed, and my team has other high-priority work on our plate. What’s your gut feeling—worth pursuing now, or should it wait?

Is anyone here attending the LambdaTest’s Testμ Conference 2025 in August? I really need some advice.

So I missed this event last year. I really want to attend it this time, but it’s my first time and I’m feeling overwhelmed about which speakers I should listen to. There are 80+ speakers, and it’s humanly impossible for me to attend all of them in 3 days. Virtual conferences are already overwhelming.

If someone has attended it last year or planning to attend this year, can you help me figure out how can I get the schedule of the speakers and general advice on whether it was worth attending the conference last year? How can I prepare myself to get value from the conference?

PS: If you are attending, we can connect over DM. Any advice from someone who has attended virtual conferences and found value is welcome to help me here. I’m a newbie. Please don’t be harsh. Also, if you want to know what this is about, let me know and I’ll put it in the comments.

Looking for advice on provisioning virtual desktops.

I'm looking to provision virtual Desktops (the operating system does not matter, Windows, LInux) across multiple VPS instances.


Say 4 (or as many fit) on a single VPS and have 3 VPSs for a total of 12 desktops.

Then to access them via Apache Guacamole (for example), as a VNC server and client from a browser.

What tools would you recommend?

So far I've been thinking about Virtualbox.

Moved from a DevOps/Cloud Governance role/team to a backend role for a large product team. Good opportunity or set back?

So back in January 2025 I got moved from my large organization DevOps/Cloud Governance team where I was a senior and technical lead to a product team due to a need for more resources.

I have 7 years of DevOps/SRE/Cloud experience through several companies I've worked with. I am now the person with the least experience on the new team since I have never used the tech stack or backend development on this scale before (150k+ users across the nation vs hundreds or low thousands for internal applications). I am now my old team's customer, haha.

The transition was a little rough but I have been getting good praise from my team and technical leads/manager/skip levels. I have been able to contribute to major features and make large monitoring and infrastructure resiliency improvements but I am still very much new in this area... I am basically a junior in technical skills but a senior in design and problem solving on this team.

I was planning on looking for new opportunities just to be in a new industry but I am worried about not being viewed favourably for DevOps or Cloud roles since I haven't been doing that as much the past year and won't be looking good for Senior Engineering roles since I essentially have 1 year of experience in it. I tried throwing out some feelers and I was able to get responses before April 2025 but none now, I'm not sure if it's cause of the market or my experience the past year

Was curious on if anyone had advice?

When to start making your own project? (Hopefully a junior DevOps Engineer)

I'm very young (no job experience at all) and have AWS SAA, RHCSA and RHCE certifications, I think I have a solid understanding of them.

I wanted to make a project for the resume/portfolio and came to the part of GitHub Actions.
After spending a few hours reading docs, trying to understanding how to use the Docker templates there, I didn't understand quite well a thing and asked ChatGPT how it should be done.

It wrote 450 lines of code, against my measly 60.

Got quite frustrated at the time that I was seemingly wasting studying, if it can be done without studying.
Felt like still going to the local library when I can just Google it instead.

Am I jumping over my own head when I try to do a CI/CD pipeline with my current knowledge?
I wanted to start with CKA, but what is the worth of my current certs if ChatGPT knows how to do it without thinking for 2 seconds?
How I should compete with that for a position in the market?

I know LLM's also make mistakes when things get complicated, but all my current knowledge is so basic...

git rebase and chaos

Added some hard gated commit checks in pipeline which requires editing commit message in repo and it's been absolute cinema since (even after providing a step by step guideline)

the dev who talked louder in weekly syncup => just lost it because it's too much to handle
the principal engineer => performed rebase which added more wrong commits
the newbie joining => setup a KT meeting on Saturday for rebase

Should I quit my new job

Hi there, as the title says, I am contemplating quitting my new job because my expectations is different from reality. I was very open during my interview that I do not have devops experience (i have only work with Azure DevOps with guidancefrom automationteam), I only have experience working with managing azure resources in my previous job but now that I have the job I am being told I'll work with all this technologies that I've never work with such as Github action, terraform, kubernetes and other.

I started 3 weeks ago and I am already thinking of quitting, I do not have any direct senior in DevOps path within our department, I only have one from another department and he's basically handling stuffs to me to work on which I have no idea how to get done.

I appreciate all advise

How to deploy safer

I'm building out something for the first time myself, and from my previous experience (and even more-so now building it myself), I haven't found a great solution better than "deploy to staging and see what happens".

There are terraform tests, and some basic linters, but I want a higher guarantee that I'm not overwhelming a service or killing my DB because of some bad config I set. Anyone heard of anything which can do that?

New devs - Zero imposter syndrome

What has happened to the dev community? The "new gen devs" are complete divas with zero interest in learning. What they know or learn by themselves is "enough" and seniors are wrong. The front end should be as advanced as possible with a node_modules directory larger than the entire internet back in 1995. If it gets too advanced, they just "vibe it". When I landed my first job, I had major issues with the imposter syndrome.

I had junior front end devs talking about backend stuff I were not familiar with (WordPress agency, I had not yet understood everything with their hooks). I took assistance from the developer. But today? I get runned over by junior front end developers. I can literally tell him exactly how his project will crash and all I get is "thats not how it works"

This is not a rant, I wanna know how and why all of this went sideways. Anyone else experiencing this? I never thought I would actually wanna slap a co-worker. I mean, I cant be the only one?

Automating upgrades for helm andEKS resources

We're currently using terraform to manage our EKS cluster but having to meet a new requirement where we upgrade within 5 days of a release for all resources in our kubernetes environments. We deploy things like LGTM, CNPG, OTEL operator, kyverno, and other similar helm managed products. Is anyone automating their upgrades for at least bug fix versions for products like this? If so what are you using to do it

Git Rebase - Explained Like You’re New to Git`

If `git merge` feels messy and your history looks like spaghetti, `git rebase` might be what you need.

In this post, I explain rebase in **plain English** with:

* A simple everyday analogy
* Step-by-step example
* When to use it (and when NOT to)

Perfect if you’ve been told “just rebase before your PR” but never really understood what’s happening.
