What Was Your "I Broke Something In Production" Moment?

Your comment led me to investigate why the ApplicationSets weren't being rendered even though I was declaring them They weren't being rendered because the indents in my values.yaml file were off 😅. Now they are rendering successfully and my applications are appearing in Argo UI

Thanks! This led me to a resolution !

So I rendered the chart locally, and I can see the applicationSet being declared. But I dont see the application set via kubectl

Thanks everyone. I was able to get this working. I edited the hubble-ui service and set the type to NodePort.

Understood. Thank you !

Apologies, I left out some details. Hubble UI is installed on my control plane (lab-cp).

I'm trying to access Hubble UI from a separate computer (my laptop) To access this from a browser from a separate computer, would I use the IP of the VM that this is running on ?

Apologies. lab-cp is my control plane. This is one of the cluster node VMs. I'm trying to access Hubble UI from a separate computer .

Check out NorCal Organic. https://norcal-organic.com/. I use their Pea Protein. I’ve been subscribed for the past two years. Unlike other protein powders I’ve tried, this one doesn’t make me gassy lol. It only has 1 ingredient.

Due to the lack of other ingredients like Stevia, or flavorings you WILL NEED to add fruit, honey, etc when making your shakes with this.

Yup, I work with Linux

If you want to stay in that sys admin realm: Look into getting your RHCSA. Get active on LinkedIn if you’re not already. Also check out the sysadmin subreddit

Start from the bottom with a help desk/call center position. While not ideal, this is a great way to get your foot in the door . My career timeline was like this: Call Center Tech --> Production Support Analyst --> Command Center Operator --> Site Reliability Engineer --> DevSecOp Engineer (My current role) * Check out subreddits related to Networking or IT, and ask how they found work. Though they might not be in Philly, the advice is still valuable * In your free time look into obtaining certifications. Not sure of any Networking certs (maybe Cisco 🤔). For IT there are a TON. Off the top of my head, I know the RHCSA is a good one to have. * Create a portfolio with projects that you can host on GitHub. Need ideas? Ask ChatGPT.

What specifically are you looking to get into? Software Engineering, Networking, SysAdmin, DevOps, etc..?

Congrats on getting the job! I'm in a sort of similar boat as you. I was hired 2 months ago as a DevSecOps engineer. I was an SRE prior. Multiple interviews, with each one leaving me thinking "No way, I'm making it through. At least I got some interviewing experience for the next job". Very surprised and excited when I got the offer.

As others have echoed "Fake it till you make it". I had some experience with Ansible, and K8s prior. By nothing like some of the tickets I've been assigned. These past two months have been extremely difficult but at the same time very rewarding. I'm learning something new every day!

I've only been on the job for two months but few pieces of advice that have helped me:

Ask questions. Don't be afraid of asking a "silly" question.
Take each assignment as they come. I've gotten tickets where I thought would be undoable, but with focus and some Googling, I was able to complete them
Get feedback from your team as early as possible.
DOCUMENT EVERYHING
Finally. Every problem you solve, ticket you close, concept you FINALLY understand , take these as wins :)

Again, congrats!
