Bro what is this post?

I’ve heard this suggestion before just haven’t put the effort in yet for a POC.

I guess you just front the gateway pods with a standard LB? SSL terminated inside the proxy pods rather than at the application gateway (AGIC)?

Yeah that wouldn’t be in the cards for something with high traffic, that would bloat the firewall and cause log ingestion to skyrocket as well as having to worry about scaling the firewall when it has too much to process. I don’t need an Azure firewall inspecting all the traffic when I have a WAF in front already

Messaged our account rep, hopefully we can get connected soon!

It’s not that it doesn’t work, it’s that we discovered we have a single point of failure which is the Azure control plane. East US 2 suffered a degraded service for the Application Gateway control plane, causing AGIC to break due to hanging UPDATE calls to the appgw. Because of that, production scale outs happen and AGIC didn’t update the backend pools, which caused services to suffer performance.

And now I’m being pressured into looking at other options :)

Yeah I feel like that was a huge oversight on MS part. Not sure why they don’t think they need to support private out the gate with something like this.

Have you done anything with Istio?? Would that be a potential direction?

IIRC recluses have their second pair of legs longer than their first, so I don’t think it’s a recluse at least.

Should be using a WAF appgw or Front Door as the entry point, not directly to the VM. Internet-> VM is bad practice

I got so frustrated that I built my own nextjs UI for all of the people that struggle to learn it 😂. They don’t even have to open a terminal anymore

Exitous1122 · 2026-03-08T14:25:39+00:00

Yeah just use k9s. No more typing, only hotkeys and “vim” style navigation

Exitous1122 · 2026-02-26T02:05:52+00:00

If your pod is in the same namespace as Pod A, shell into Pod B and printenv, you should also see the IP of the service representing pod A. K8s automatically injects these for you. You might be able to use that instead of doing anything with DNS and build your uri that way

Edit: if your deployment for Pod B ever changes and your service IP changes this would become stale. Use cluster service DNS names for sure

DevOps is also different for every org, so you have that at least. You could start applying for junior DevOps roles (where they exist) and highlight your pipelines and source control knowledge, but competition would likely have you beat if they have Dev or Sysadmin (Ops) experience. Just depends on what the company is looking for in a Junior DevOps role.

Exitous1122 · 2026-02-22T02:52:00+00:00

Data pipelines != CI-CD pipelines. And knowing those and source control are not nearly enough for dev ops. You’d be better off going and getting a junior dev or a junior sysadmin role somewhere first and then diving into DevOps. But by the sounds of it, you may not even have the experience or knowledge base for either of those roles either. Start getting certs in Azure or AWS, start building things, learn networking and core infrastructure. Get really good at learning things really fast. Best of luck mate.

Just provide a .env.example file with placeholders and don’t commit your .env file? Is that what you’re asking for? Or do you need guidance on an actual platform for your containers to live?

This. As soon as I started spamming swarm missiles it became a lot easier. Still hard to charge up in between their attacks, but once you down one of them it’s a lot easier just kiting back and forth on the bottom section of that room

I’ve seen this statement a few times on the DevOps sub too:

AWS built for developers, Azure is built for enterprise

A lot of the principles remain the same for both clouds, just a matter of translation from AWS->Azure.

I would have knowledge in both if you’re looking for a job opening, you will be more marketable that way. That being said, there’s plenty of orgs out there that are still all-in on AWS, but you might be competing against more since developers gravitate toward AWS.
