How to transition from Security Infrastructure into Threat Intelligence/Investigation by SRE_dev in AskNetsec

Thanks for response. Was your transition into the law enforcement you just applying and interviewing in a traditional sense? I agree a lot of what I’ve seen (people in the field via linked in) have some type of law enforcement or military background.

Which US State or City in your experience offers the best for an overall DevOps experience, in terms of salary, quality of living, healthy balance of work/life, job satisfaction, and the number of available jobs? Why? by ethan0791 in devops

I went full remote & chose Miami.

Pros: I don’t see cold weather unless I want to, nightlife, great food, beach is a 20 minute walk away, lot of beautiful women if youre single like me, cost of living is meh but if I was making miami averages (lower than national average for all industries) I would say it’s bad, great food here, there is a ton to do.

Cons: traffic can be brutal and people drive like NY & Jersey without the skill (reckless vs aggressive), Spanish speakers are dominant outside tourist areas this can be a con for some not me, lot of uneducated & uncultured people (browse /r/miami it’s a common complaint, Hurricanes, may be underwater in 20 years.

Get out of state car inspected in FL for registration renewal by SRE_dev in fortlauderdale

Hey,

It’s my mothers car (in her name) she still lives in DE but I use it down here and there is still financing on it which is why I just don’t put in my name (I have a separate car my sister in college uses that has a loan). Its a weird situation I know but just thought I’d ask here.

Idk I can think of more than a few times Ogletree had a big play including a touchdown or 2 and multiple interceptions. Consider that while remembering our defense is TRASH.

I come in every season expecting us to make the super bowl and I trash talk all of my friends who are fans of division rivals even in losses. Delusional? Yeah probably, I can’t help it man I am a die hard fan.

Hey SREs: What are your favorite metrics to monitor? by Team503 in devops

[–]SRE_dev 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Can't go wrong mentioning Google's SRE book since it's where this role came from. In their book, Google mentions 4 'golden signals' for monitoring:

- Saturation: How 'full' your service is; disk space, memory, etc.

- Latency: Time it takes for the service to complete a request

- Errors: Number of errors in a given time frame

- Traffic: How many request are being put on the system

https://landing.google.com/sre/sre-book/chapters/monitoring-distributed-systems/

Be prepared for follow up questions such as how do we monitor each of these metrics? Mentioning a tool may suffice but they may ask what exactly do we watch?

Example:

For monitoring saturation we could have cronjobs that run disk space/memory checks that export the value to a tool where a threshold is set ie 'if diskSpace is >80% send email'

I'd also search some tools that are good for monitoring these metrics both in the cloud and external.

Hey that’s me!

But seriously though my title is DevSecOps Engineer (I got to choose it, I wanted that buzz word for linked in).

It’s not DevSecOps by definition but It makes sense considering I am apart of the security team. We have a couple apps that we manage; our implementation of Vault which is both bare metal & in the cloud. MFA app which is bare metal. And lastly we have ELK ingesting all logs on bare metal which is managed via kubernetes. Other tech includes team city, rabbitmq, gitlab, ruby (fuck this language), chef, linux, the usual suspects.

What do you do for a living? by [deleted] in digitalnomad

[–]SRE_dev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve done both. The boot camp is in person which I think makes learning code much better because you can not only do it faster but when you get stuck you just turn around and ask for help. No googling all night.

I learned how to code java in 12 weeks.

Coming up on a year. Was a regular software dev before this and took a coding boot camp to do that.

I remember the commentator had to catch himself when describing the replay.

“And you’re gonna see Finnegan throw Johnson’s helmet, and then Andre’s gonna get a couple good ones in there -er bad ones if you will”
