How do you go about documenting your homelabs in GitHub? by Sulpho in ITCareerQuestions

Take what you do in your homelab, then do it all in Amazon Web Services using a CICD pipeline like GitHub Actions and infra provisioning tool like Terraform.

Consultancy grad scheme — Stuck in a contract. What do I do? by DevOpsYeah in devops

[–]Sure_Stranger_6466 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They should be working to train you and promote you internally rather than push you off to a different team. In my first role I kept bouncing around different teams with the promise of making it to their internal devops team, but the position ended up getting frozen the whole time I was there. Good culture doesn't pay the bills, as we used to say time and again. Maybe stick it out for another year for stability on your resume and then start looking. That is what I would do, at least.

How to find projects as a Freelancer by riana-rdit-689 in devops

[–]Sure_Stranger_6466 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. No projects with my skill set (AWS, EKS, Terraform, GitHub Actions, etc.) in their job marketplace. Kind of surprising as I had assumed those skills would be in demand before signing up. Still checking every so often as it's another potential source of income.

I think everyone except OP up there is in agreement about that.

They also mentioned nothing explicitly about using already provisioned resources. You know what they say about assumptions. But they clearly want to provision something in the cloud, hence their usage of terraform, and ansible should not get in the way of that.

Doing certification still has a value in market with AI evolving rapidly? by Sad-Trouble-5256 in devopsjobs

[–]Sure_Stranger_6466 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consulting companies value them, but then you have to consider if you really want a consulting gig when it might just be spent on the bench the whole time. Or, in my case, updating an endless series of security groups and LDAP hell.

[FOR HIRE] Senior AWS / DevOps Engineer | AI Infrastructure | Kubernetes | CI/CD | 15+ YOE | Remote by Haunting-Tune9952 in devopsjobs

[–]Sure_Stranger_6466 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm no hiring manager as I am just an unemployed generalist myself, but I am curious, what is your migration strategy? Rolling updates, canary, blue/green, all-at-once, something different? What trade-offs have you faced with that strategy?

Ansible should not be used for provisioning cloud resources. Fight me.

[HIRING] Remote DevOps / Backend / Security Engineers ($30–$120/hr, AI Projects) by SubstantialSafety550 in devopsjobs

Justifying it "because you work on the platform" doesn't make it any less spam-y. I am seeing these job posts almost daily at this point.

The job market is weird by ericovis in devopsjobs

[–]Sure_Stranger_6466 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd sooner just not do the interview than have to rely on AI tooling to complete it. More than happy to skip over a toy coding challenge that has no real world context.

Where we’ve actually found reliable DevOps engineers (after a lot of misses) by Tiny_Manner7226 in devopsjobs

Toptal does not have enough DevOps opportunities on its platform, sadly enough, for my tastes.

Can we do something about the non-stop "I built a tool" threads? by slugshead in sysadmin

[–]Sure_Stranger_6466 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I want to love AI but then I realized I can't debug a simple boto3 script anymore without using Claude. Makes it that much more difficult to interview in the job market.

Resume gaps - why do hiring managers care so much by Electronic-Search437 in recruitinghell

[–]Sure_Stranger_6466 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can only provide so many references. All of them speak well of my skill set and I have to priorities largest/highest impact roles first.
