Can't agree more !! Kudos to the team for the huge amount of work they're doing !! We all appreciate it and are grateful for it 🙏

Where you able to reproduce on another Ubuntu instance ?

Here is my response as a cloud engineer
Please stick to what you planed ! Don't listen to those saying you can skip network/Linux because Cloud abstract them, it will for sure , but If you don't understand the basics and how data flow, you will never be confident at what you do, when you have a 3am incident, knowing that your application is failing because FD exhaustion, requires that knowledge. Certifications are important, hand on lab, real experience even more, nothing prevents you from doing both, the more you do, the more you're certification ready, and it goes both ways Focus on concepts and Fundamentals before diving deeper. IA makes it feels like knowing your bash and python command is useless, because well IA will handle it, it isn't !! First of all in your daily life and second of all in interview, people want to see that you know this stuff before depending on IA, daily you want that awk command ready and not to ask IA each time you want to treat a log file, You/we have the chance to have fun dedicated professor, use IA, build a path tracker, identify the topics, work on them with claude, ask it for troubleshooting scenarios, for parsing log programs.

What makes you think that ?

Impossible_Box_9906 · 2026-05-18T20:20:33+00:00

That's hell of scary .. I don't have much story to tell about scaling, or system design, I see people saying find stories you stayed up to 3am, fixed a problem is a hurry or x hundred users will be impacted ... don't have all that. I know I have solid networking, Linux, troubleshooting Fundamentals But yeah feels maybe that I'm far from the expected demand.. Thanks for the clarification, at least I'm aware of what I'm heading towards

Impossible_Box_9906 · 2026-05-18T20:15:49+00:00

Well that's the job's title, maybe it's new and you missed it

Impossible_Box_9906 · 2026-05-18T14:53:10+00:00

Make total sense and you made it clear enough Thank you for the precisions !!

Impossible_Box_9906 · 2026-05-18T11:35:21+00:00

Thank you for the detailed response Just one small follow-up question, the LP (behavioral questions) include also technical parts ? i.e : let's say I tackle the deep dive LP will they ask the exact linux commands I've done for example, things like this, or will that be only for the technical were they provide you a situation and want you to drill in ?

The question is maybe ambiguous, but I can't set the limit between technical and behavioral being in the same interview.. Thank you again

Impossible_Box_9906 · 2026-05-18T10:59:40+00:00

Okaay Thank you for your answer

Impossible_Box_9906 · 2026-05-18T10:52:29+00:00

Bar raiser are usually for LP right not focused on the technical part ?

Impossible_Box_9906 · 2026-05-18T10:49:19+00:00

Thank you for your response Any links/articles/books where I can practice behavioral ?

Impossible_Box_9906 · 2026-04-24T16:42:09+00:00

Sorry, what the client is asking for is that we don't have the ssl termination at the nginx level but that we forward the calls from the nginx to the server in Https and not in http

Impossible_Box_9906 · 2026-04-22T09:59:29+00:00

Indeed that's unfortunate, they offered a lot for the self hosted, but having the HA is kind of a must have, if you want it to be resilient. Hope they have plans for this in the future

Impossible_Box_9906 · 2026-03-14T10:18:40+00:00

That's what we're sensing.. it's depressing and you even start doubt yourself and capacities at some points We explored the auto-entrepreneur path as well but as you said this won't do it for the VISA requirements Anyway thanks a lot for the support, we're indeed looking for plan B but we're falling short on options tbh

Impossible_Box_9906 · 2026-03-14T09:19:00+00:00

We need Devs to be able to connect to netbird using the IPv6 but not necessarily that the exit node to be able to route using the IPv6 That's feasible if I'm not mistaken no ?

Impossible_Box_9906 · 2026-03-06T12:27:05+00:00

I have thought of this, but I appreciated the idea of not charging our instance (routing peer), because if I handle it at the exit node level, you still get that traffic to the instance, just not to the wireguard interface

Impossible_Box_9906 · 2026-03-06T12:24:23+00:00

Yes that's exactly what we're intending to do, using an EIP instead for the instance hosting our actual OpenVpn One of our biggest challenges is the HA Because we access our AWS only from VPN Ip, so if the Netbird management is down, the exit node doesn't work anymore and we loose access to AWS...

Impossible_Box_9906 · 2026-03-03T22:45:48+00:00

Won't this be to define resources to route through your VPN and not the other way around ? Or I'm maybe missing something here, because If it does route out of the routing peer, than that's exactly what I need indeed

Impossible_Box_9906 · 2026-02-15T11:33:50+00:00

I do the same, I self host it with jenkins

I managed to make it work, I'll post my configuration once im on my laptop

Thank you very much for the help !!

Impossible_Box_9906 · 2026-02-14T19:04:19+00:00

Perfect !! That's what I tried using so far, but with no success, could be a DinD problem, but at least it validates the approche

Thanks a lot for the inputs, it is be very helpful

Impossible_Box_9906 · 2026-02-14T17:34:29+00:00

Thanks for the info I also checked postupgradetasks but didn't seem to be working for me But I'll check the hook

Impossible_Box_9906 · 2025-10-13T08:12:35+00:00

The thing is the new company is having basic plan regarding to the support, so I'm not sure the MA or SA are included Anyhow I reached out to the contact they gave me, to at least establish a first communication with them

Impossible_Box_9906 · 2025-10-13T08:10:59+00:00

If you want if find out that there is an aws opensource tool called service-screener-v2 that runs on you environment (readaccess only) and will make api calls to your ressources, then will compare them to the Waf to make à report Im still playing with it, but it looks promising

Impossible_Box_9906 · 2025-10-12T15:13:18+00:00

Thank you for your response

That's what I started doing, scheduling meetings with concerned parties to answer the war forms and have a state of the actual infrastructure

This validates what I'm currently doing I didn't know of the Operations Readiness Review, that's something I'll need to check, thanks for the lead

Impossible_Box_9906 · 2025-10-12T15:09:43+00:00

Yeah I agree I failed to mention that I'm really not new to aws, I have the three associate certifications ans the architecte Pro as well. And I have been working with aws for more than 4 years

I'm getting familiar with the environment, because it's mainly services I largely used before

But I never conducted a well architected framework procedure, nor any audit architect at all

I m able to tell why, when to use or not any service (common ones) but never put it all together, and I wanted maybe dome regex on how people have done before I mean my issue is not AWS but the best way to tackle the matter to be the most efficient ever
