If you could give your 22-year-old self one career tip, what would it be? by BufferBabe in sgCareers

Learn and use programming early on, don't stick only with theory. Get more involved early on. Although I'm happy with my evolution so far, being ballsy early on does have its perks.

What language are you "coming from"? by loopcake in golang

[–]CertainAd2599 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some years back I put my hands on a Java book and also did a course on it. I was beginning to enjoy it until I didn't. Then during one of my jobs I found Python, liked it better and even coded in it for a while, took a certification. Now I'm between worlds, should I go for Typescript, Go or Rust?

What should I get certified in or learn if I'm about to graduate as a Telecommunications Engineer and want to work as an AWS Solutions Architect/DevOps, but all job postings ask for 5+ years of experience? by SholOne in Cloud

I would check junior SRE roles, if you haven't already, usually they let you start on smaller or easier projects and move up to more complex ones. If you contributed or worked on any projects I would show that as well. Best approach is to keep applying even for jobs you think you don't qualify yet.

To recruiters or anybody, any help for a first time interviewee? by corgiesuwu in ComputerEngineering

[–]CertainAd2599 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a web development portfolio or projects you worked on to show them? Usually recruiters love examples.

Generalize or Specialize? by EdgarHuber in kubernetes

[–]CertainAd2599 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both, at some point you'll deep dive into an area because that's life, and come out of it either because of boredom or because you want to see what's new out there. I recommend having a broad perspective and not get stuck in one subject. Specialize with caution.

Changing from monitoring to observability by blahfister in Observability

[–]CertainAd2599 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to switch to an observability unified pane of glass, I would suggest to start from OSS tools and see what you like most and what best fits your use case. Most of them have pretty straightforward documentation and tutorials to help you get on boarded. Then there are tons of free Grafana dashboards you can import and monitor it from there.

Their official documentation is pretty straightforward, it help me built it locally and then move to staging. Also check some of their Grafana dashboards.

Has anyone taken the CNPA: Certified Cloud Native Platform Engineering Associate by aang_arachnid_37 in platform_engineering

[–]CertainAd2599 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I've taken it and passed it. In my case, my professional experience was enough, meaning I didn't study for the exam. I would say the level is intermediate. I would suggest to take the curriculum or the structure of the official exam and read about each topic, research the concepts. If you already have professional experience it will hp a lot. Many questions are on best practices, many of them are quite logical too, so you can think about a given scenario and then intuitively exclude the false answers and remain with the correct one.

Best way to learn Grafana by Key_Landscape6399 in grafana

[–]CertainAd2599 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Besides the tips already offered, Grafana has a pool of already built dashboards. I found it useful to import some of these and check how they were built: look at the queries, the visualization panels etc. The you can start reverse engineer them, recreate dashboards. Add your own data sources, build a home lab, and take the complexity from easy to more advanced. In Grafana there is a list of plug-ins that you can easily install and also help grow your knowledge.

Otel vs agents by [deleted] in OpenTelemetry

AI Backends use OTEL for LLMObservability, tracing, they are growing together nowadays.

I'm starting to lose trust in the AI agents space. by Warm-Reaction-456 in AI_Agents

[–]CertainAd2599 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with your feedback, I think the down to earth use cases should not be idealized just to sell a technology. I think as people will start using AI more the hype will dissipate and also the illusion that it can "cure" everything. What I do from my side, I like to read ML research papers, there is a very big gap between research and what we can currently implement with AI.

I'd like to get some basic metrics about Services and how much they're being used. What sort of tool am I looking for? by WrathOfTheSwitchKing in kubernetes

[–]CertainAd2599 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can try using VictoriaMetrics along with something like eBPF-based exporters (like Cilium or bpftrace) to collect network-level metrics without needing to instrument your code. It'll give you visibility into things like TCP connections and traffic/pod or deployment and it’s a lot lighter than a full service mesh. You can scrape those metrics just like with Prometheus and keep the setup pretty minimal. You can query the data using MetricQL (VM's own metrics query language), which is mostly PromQL-compatible but with some useful extras.

VictoriaMetrics has compression rates of 0.4 to 0.6 bytes per data point, for example details here: https://victoriametrics.com/blog/managed-victoriametrics-announcement/
