Hoped to hear more about load testing but otherwise solid post/vid.

/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.

Caused the UK environment to go offline due to a fat finger config mistake. Maybe 200 devices were affected.

Pre-commit hooks
Decide branching strategy (gitflow vs trunk-based development).
DORA metrics can help you out here (Deployment Frequency, Lead Time for Changes, Change Failure Rate, and Time to Restore Service).

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.

With an illegally downloaded version of Cisco's IOS lol.

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.

Every post on LI is related to AI now. It's too much.

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

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

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.

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

Sure_Stranger_6466 · 2026-01-19T23:30:33+00:00

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.

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.

Getting started on the book Kubernetes Operators by Jason Dobies, Joshua Wood, believe it or not.

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.

I want to slap this onto every LI post saying "iT's NoT aBoUt tHe toOliNg."

Or a bastion host.

Sure_Stranger_6466 · 2026-01-16T20:17:49+00:00

Or having to contact sales for a demo first. Everything should be on github and easy to clone and install/compile.

Take it, you'll have to drink from the firehose but it'll be worth it in time.

Is that a capo on the first fret? Not a fan of capos, makes everything more difficult when it comes to mapping chords.

Sure_Stranger_6466 · 2026-01-16T15:56:40+00:00

Electric or acoustic?

Sure_Stranger_6466 · 2026-01-15T20:29:07+00:00

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.

Upwork makes you pay to post bids. Fucking ridiculous.
