There are currently over 4,600 "DevOps" professionals open to new opportunities on LinkedIn, just in London alone. If your internal or external teams are struggling to fill a DevOps, Platform, or SRE role, it could be due to a few things: either the role has unfillable requirements, or the search simply isn’t being managed effectively. More candidates doesn’t always mean easier hiring; in fact, it often complicates the process. What you need is someone who can cut through the noise, match the right person to your business, and align the company, team, and role with the right candidate. And that’s where DanOps excels! 😁

Hi all! Here's my second Medium article about SRE. This time I talk about the other reason why we should implement the Blameless Postmortem culture. Please, take a look and give me your feedback about it! 😄 #sre #blameless #google #medium

Chatgpt is becoming more of a great everyday tool in an IT person's toolbox. The more you understand it and understand how to extract the information you need out of it, its easy to skip pass the fluff or things that dont make sense. Needing to import hundreds of existing subnets into terraform using terraforms import block, i knew i did not want to import all of that per subnet and that i also needed to import these into modules. Essentially I have a code block that does a for_each through all of the subnets that come into the variable. import {  for_each = { for key, value in var.subnet : key => value if value.import }  id = each.value.import_resource_id  to = module.subnet.azurerm_subnet.main[each.key] } Only problem was i needed all of those subnets in a specific format in my tfvars file before i could do that. In comes chatgpt and a very much needed python script. As somebody who didnt have the need or time to spend a ton of time writing that script out, i was able to ask it a very small subset of questions piecing this script together found here in my github https://lnkd.in/gWSarEpH. I of course used powershell to export out the subnets in a specific format also that was needed. All in i was able to take a task that could have taken me days to complete by not having to manually import all those subnets in one by one and also generating a script using chatgpt vs having to search forums and ask around and get a bunch of methods for the same outcome. What are some IT use cases you have used chatgpt to improve daily task? #chatgpt #ai #automation #scripting

Every Sunday I share an Open Source Tool from the Cloud Native Ecosystem. Today: Caretta. Caretta is a lightweight, standalone tool that instantly creates a visual network map of the services running in your cluster. It leverages eBPF to efficiently map all service network interactions in a K8s cluster, and Grafana to query and visualize the collected data: https://lnkd.in/ddq86yRW. #kubernetes #openshift #grafana #monitoring #observability #opensource #OpenSourceSunday ___ Did you know about this tool? Are you using it already? What are your experiences? ⬇️ Discuss in the comments below! ⬇️ ___ I'm Christian Huth and I create content about:#cloudnative and #opensource technologies like #kubernetes or #openshift and modern #it practices like #devops, #devsecops, and #gitops.

No more distributed service account key, no more credentials leaks. Service Account Impersonation is Solution 🤘 Managing access to your Terraform remote state is crucial for security and compliance. Using service account impersonation, you can securely grant limited, role-based access to Terraform's state files without giving direct permissions to multiple users or service accounts. Using impersonation keeps access tightly controlled and auditable! 👌 #Terraform #DevOps #CloudSecurity #GoogleCloud #IaC

The article "DevOps Dynamics: Kubernetes and Virtual Machines in a Unified Ecosystem" explores the integration of Kubernetes and virtual machines (VMs) within a unified DevOps environment. It highlights the following key points: Unified Ecosystem: The article discusses how Kubernetes and VMs can coexist and complement each other, providing flexibility and scalability in managing workloads. Benefits of Integration: It outlines the advantages of integrating Kubernetes with VMs, such as improved resource utilization, enhanced security, and streamlined operations. Use Cases: Various use cases are presented to illustrate how organizations can leverage this integration to optimize their DevOps practices. Challenges and Solutions: The article also addresses potential challenges in integrating these technologies and offers solutions to overcome them. Read the article. I am interested to know your thoughts!!! #devops #ecosystem #kubernetes

This book is a must read. Topics that are often times superficially discussed by other authors are discussed in depth and through examples. it has already made me rethink our AKS IAC terraform modules and my approach to coding infrastructure as a whole. C

I speed up the processing of my Flink Application operations by increasing the Runtime Environment Parallelism. The FlatMap operator tasks parallelism is set to executionEnvironment default parallelism. You can base on the execution Environment parallelism in this context kubernetes you can configure the parallelism for your source, processing topology and the sink operator tasks. You can dynamically get the runtime execution environment value in java with the StreamExecutionEnvironment class. Flink on Kubernetes is a Game changer. Similar to how GitLab runner on kubernetes change the game of dynamic CI/CD runners. #cloudengineering #cloudcomputng #softwareengineering #dataengineering #distributedsystem #kubernetes #coding #programming

Terraform's Import block functionality will help give a lot of companies the ability to bring their existing infrastructure under a unified code base. Now with the ability to use for_each inside their import block this video shows a cool way to utilize that feature to build on top of your existing pipelines without having to re-engineer anything.

What is CrashLoopBackoff in Kubernetes? CrashLoopBackoff is a state that occurs when a Pod fails to start, K8s tries to restart it, it fails again and this cycle continues. This usually means that a deeper problem is consistently causing your Pod to crash upon startup. 💡 You can easily detect if your Pod is experiencing this error. Run “kubectl get pods”. The faulty Pod’s status is “CrashLoopBackOff”. Why is K8s restarting the bad Pod? 👉 A Pod’s default Restart policy is “Always”, so K8s will always attempt to restart a Pod that has crashed (you can configure this behavior). 👉 Every time the Pod is restarted, K8s waits for a longer duration before attempting the next restart. This is known as Exponential back-off delay. During this period, the Pod’s status is set to “CrashLoopBackOff”.

Use case: We want to enable the rate limiting for our lower environment application. Solution: In case you are running your infra on any cloud provider in my case it is AWS and I do not want to use WAF because of cost or you can say for any other reason, in that case, we can define the rate limiting on the application level also and define customised throttling rules by creating middleware to restrict the number of requests a user can make over a given period. Reference link: https://lnkd.in/gCsHif-U Note: Being a devops engineer I am only aware of cloud-based solutions like WAF but this is something new, so I thought I should share this.

Good article on why you need to have a wrapper around terraform/opentofu when your infrastructure scales and/or grows. #terraform #opentofu #terragrunt #iac
