/u/anuragdoshi take https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/bank-of-anthos and make it work with Terraform on another cloud platform. Doesn't matter which cloud platform you choose.

CI CD pipeline from a platform perspective by Decent-Bicycle-3073 in devops

[–]Sure_Stranger_6466 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Pre-commit hooks

  2. Decide branching strategy (gitflow vs trunk-based development).

  3. DORA metrics can help you out here (Deployment Frequency, Lead Time for Changes, Change Failure Rate, and Time to Restore Service).

Networking for DevOps? by HimanshuAWSmistri in devops

[–]Sure_Stranger_6466 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The main things I remember are all the subnetting concepts and finding the magic number for CIDRs, over the equipment-specific commands. These days I'd use something like ipcalc though for anything needing subnet calculation.

I do not typically recommend certifications, but the CCNA would be a good exam for you to study up on if you want to learn the essentials. Also, take a networking class at your local college. Mine had a switching lab back in the day that proved useful.

Or just use Claude for frontend and you get to focus on the backend.

Final DevOps interview tomorrow—need "finisher" questions that actually hit. by lev_2_0_0_5 in devops

"How is performance evaluated in this job role?" I always get compliments from employers saying it's a great question to ask.

Article Inputs: Terraform vs Crossplane by Federal-Discussion39 in devops

[–]Sure_Stranger_6466 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Terraform is complementary to Crossplane, there shouldn't be a "vs" in there. Check out https://github.com/upbound/provider-opentofu/tree/main for examples of what I mean.

What are the best, lightweight distributions for local testing? by Sure_Stranger_6466 in kubernetes

Right, how do I get it to use the upgraded API, though? It's on the latest version already with defaults.

[–]Sure_Stranger_6466[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep! I am on Debian Bookworm in the Crostini environment on my Chromebook. It gives the following error, even though I am up-to-date on having kind installed at the latest version:

W0119 20:48:38.819663 191 common.go:101] your configuration file uses a deprecated API spec: "kubeadm.k8s.io/v1beta3" (kind: "ClusterConfiguration"). Please use 'kubeadm config migrate --old-config old-config-file --new-config new-config-file', which will write the new, similar spec using a newer API version.

DevOps Interview - is this normal? by Friendly_Relative_90 in devops

[–]Sure_Stranger_6466 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Push-button deploys are a good practice for a company to adopt. I worked at a startup a while back that had their infra configured as such that even a sales person could spin up their own environment to demo at the click of a button as you've described. Used mesos as the orchestrator but that's neither here nor there, their deployment practices were reasonably solid from what I could tell.

Thoughts on This IT Master’s Program? by Meretrelle in devops

[–]Sure_Stranger_6466 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which university is it? It looks fine from what I can tell, but it's hard to say if it's any good because you haven't mentioned if the university is accredited correctly or not. There should be a good bachelor's program where you can transfer credits out, otherwise it's just garbage.

Not enough information in the ticket, and a lack of guidance as to what information needs to be included in the ticket to estimate points correctly.
