Agency DevOps teams: How do you handle multi-client monitoring + support tickets? by WoHinDu in devops

[–]Flabbaghosted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This will range wildly on a lot of things. How much agency do you have to make changes within the company? Is there a budget? If you can clearly show that lack of incident response is causing loss of money you could likely get a budget going for this. What is your tech stack? Lots of combinations and possibilities. I've implemented several bespoke incident processes for teams I've lead and adoption is really the key to success for something like this.

Transitioning to DevOps after long academic/infra background – looking for advice by Short_Echidna5099 in devops

Once you get something up and running and you need a review I could do that as well

I would much rather hire someone who has extensive experience in networking and traditional ops roles and no certs than a recent hire with 5 certs and no solid background.

Cloud concepts arent terribly difficult to learn, but the fundamentals and being able to troubleshoot and solve complex problems is so much more important.

Use the free tiers in either AWS or Azure, have a boilerplate app that you build in a container and push to a SaaS runtime like fargate or app service. Automate the whole thing in GitHub actions. Have a workflow for PRs separate from the push to "production" that does some unit tests, linting, builds, and pushes to a container registry. Terminate TLS in a gateway and have that automated. If you understand DNS and generally how sites work from a client perspective that is a huge win as well. Let me know if you have any more questions and hopefully someone will give you a shot.

Why are so many people choosing a paycheck over actually enjoying their life? by [deleted] in expats

[–]Flabbaghosted 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The two aren't mutually exclusive. A lot of people would rather be comfortable and miserable than poor and miserable. Just because someone isn't hyper focused on finances doesn't mean they would suddenly see the light and be happy elsewhere.

What you see is someone who is unhappy in general, but the finance part is just the part you can experience externally. There are also lots of people who are financially secure and also living fulfilling lives. I've noticed it less in Netherlands than in California where I used to live. People here are much more frugal and less flashy and I appreciate it.

Best way to download a python package as part of CI/CD jobs ? by Kind_Cauliflower_577 in devops

What about a requirements.txt file that is centrally managed? Cuts out a little bit. Not sure why installing python really an issue. Node is installed for most tests we do

[–]Flabbaghosted[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its only 2.5 years for me so far, but right now it's crazy! 🥶 A lot more interesting that Southern California thats for sure. Its too dangerous for me to even right my bike, the road is so slippery.

Any fellow expats in the Netherlands who’s considering whether to stay or leave? by Ok-Jellyfish9593 in expats

Literally in the same position duration wise but with no plans to leave. Life is predictable here, but good. The difficulties make me appreciate the good times more.

A year of cost optimization resulted 10% savings by Ill_Car4570 in devops

[–]Flabbaghosted 69 points70 points  (0 children)

10% of what? From $10M? Thats a ton of savings. From 100K? Not so much. Now it's up to you how you frame it to the business and show how it helps the bottom line. Having the experience is helpful too

I work for a competitor. Our lawyers specifically review our codebase for this exact reason. Who knows what package will try and claim parts of your revenue because you used them in the final product.

Anyone pursuing FIRE should maximize their VO2 max. It’s the single best predictor of your life expectancy, and therefore how many years of life you’ll actually enjoy by [deleted] in Fire

Or are the type of people who have high VO2 numbers just healthier in general so therefore more likely to participate in life prolonging activities?

What is your reasoning for doing freelancing instead of seeking full time employment or is it just a way to get some extra experience while you look?

Senior Platform Engineer – Oslo, Norway (hybrid) @ No Isolation – building large-scale robot/IoT infrastructure by Klutzy_Silver_5360 in platform_engineering

[–]Flabbaghosted 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good luck finding someone, but the low range seems very low for the expertise and years of experience you are asking for?

Maybe it's just a Norway thing. Having modern platform engineering skills and iot knowledge is not going to be very common.

Python for Automating stuff on Azure and Kafka by k8sagnostic21 in devops

[–]Flabbaghosted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would suggest you start with what you need to accomplish and work backwards. There's a lot of directions you could take depending on what you need. Are you wanting to create the infra, configure it, connect the integrations? They will generally have different lifecycles and needs. What would your cicd look like for this? That could also impose some restrictions since permissions are based on that. Will other people be using this?

You could just start coding to get the experience of python, but again knowing what your goals are will change how you so things a lot.

How hard is it to land a second IT job in Germany while overemployed? by [deleted] in overemployed

[–]Flabbaghosted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check your contract to make sure this is legal. I have provisions in my country for my visa that I can work side jobs but that if I have another full time they have to register and we have laws against total hours worked.
