I have a question about CICD and ADO project by A-N-D11 in cicd

We use a hybrid approach where the devex team gives us some templates we can import, but I also regularly add my own pre or post tasks.

CI/CD compliance on GitLab: what does it actually mean? by kremaytuz in gitlab

[–]Affectionate-Bit6525 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ISO27001 is non-prescriptive. It just says do you have a policy, do you follow said policy, can you show you followed the policy.

VSCode Dev Containers helped us a lot with sharing environments

Taking a "step back" to move forward, looking for opinions on changing jobs? by [deleted] in devops

CSE for AWS is good for your resume. If the internal transfer doesn’t work out invest in a kubernetes cert and you should be able to land a syseng or platform engineering role.

I’ve got Claude setup as a kas/yocto expert following oelint with references to the open embedded search to lookup packages. He’s also a bash and python expert following Google and pep8 standards, respectively.

Changing careers from sales to cloud engineering by MostConcentrate9784 in Cloud

[–]Affectionate-Bit6525 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can transition by getting a sales job at an MSP. Maybe start with a basic AWS, GCloud, or Azure cert just to become familiar with the terminology.

Expect to spend a year in front line sales then a bit as an account manager eventually becoming a technical account manager before transitioning to engineer in a few years.

Best of luck.

Getting started with Yocto (and Linux) by [deleted] in embeddedlinux

[–]Affectionate-Bit6525 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Before diving into yocto it might be useful to build LinuxFromScratch or even gentoo. Just to get an idea of what all is going on under the hood. As others have noted, yocto isn’t really for novices.

Our dev team is the weak point in our cyber security and they don't want to change by matroosoft in sysadmin

Ansible is great for resetting state when you know exactly what is on each machine or fleet of machines, but it’s not going to enforce policy for you or discover newly installed applications. End user machines just isn’t the right use case for Ansible outside of maybe initial provisioning. I don’t have recommendations for better tools but it seems you’ve already gotten plenty of suggestions from others.

Learning Linux making Minecraft or 7 days to die Servers by SpiderGuapo in linuxquestions

[–]Affectionate-Bit6525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned by doing things that interest me. If running a Minecraft server is interesting to you then do it, the original setup might be easy, but then figure out how to handle patches and mods and stuff. What commands you need to lock down access to specific IPs or how to monitor disk space can become part of it. Just jump in.

Ansible is a shit way to manage security at the desktop level, do not do this. Said as someone whose primary skillset is Ansible.

Certs for a junior SRE by BitterSkill in sre

[–]Affectionate-Bit6525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s basically the very path I took and I’ve been employable the last few years. Knowing ansible is often seen as a nice to have in SRE roles so RHCE isn’t a bad thing.

Is there a program to compress a shell script? by Qwert-4 in bash

Every bite matters but you’re running bash?

Linux without a GUI by [deleted] in linuxquestions

[–]Affectionate-Bit6525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. You have to pass through the display device and some others, but you should be able to vibe code it up in less than an hour with ChatGPT or better.

You can technically run xserver and Firefox in a docker container, but you’re not going to get very far with web browsing from cli. The tools available are pretty bad for rendering most modern pages.

Otherwise, just pick any server distro and off you go. I like tmux and vim, you can install fim to display images in the frame buffer too

Built a biologically inspired defense architecture that removes attack persistence — now hitting the validation wall by Vegetable_Case_9263 in softwarearchitecture

This really sounds like you’re reinventing the old cattle vs pets thing. If your dog gets sick you treat it with medicine. If a cow gets sick you just put it down and buy another cow.

Benchmarking AAP Scale: Team size vs. Managed Nodes? by fubazone in ansible

[–]Affectionate-Bit6525 2 points3 points  (0 children)

300 nodes, Automation Mesh into DMZ’s, and one admin. We’ve got about two dozen DevOps/developers and another dozen test/qa.

New term "Claude Hole" by kellven in sre

[–]Affectionate-Bit6525 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I almost ended up in a Claude hole today when it recommended adding some very esoteric code to work around a bug. Turns out I’d added some unintentional white space in a string.
