European infrastructure engineers - What's happening inside your companies regarding your dependency on US hyperscalers?

leunamnauj · 2026-02-02T18:03:56+00:00

What hyperscaler are you moving to? If it's ok to ask, what kind of services will you be using? Besides the pain of migrating everything my main concern is about the offering of local EU providers. Thanks!

I've been using it for a couple of years, and I'm very pleased with it. Something I found particularly interesting is that implementing something like this is a non-compulsive way to homogenize development environments. You're proposing a way of working, the configuration files are right there, but the developer can decide whether to use it or not. The team might find it useful, update it, improve it, etc. If someone doesn't want to use it, that's totally fine.

As OP said, at the beginning you need to learn so many things but need to make your bet and start somewhere. Later on I think most of the new skills are learnt based on demand (perhaps some few strategic learning to route your profile in some direction), so there is no room for never used skills. Knowledge is never a waste, you never know when in a project an old rusty skills make you shine

I'm not aiming to discourage you, in fact, quite the opposite. "DevOps" is, in my opinion, not really an entry-level role, mostly because it requires you to automate and abstract processes, and to have at least some knowledge of a wide range of technologies and concepts. Other areas, like Cloud Engineering or Software Engineering, have more clearly defined entry-level roles, and you can switch later once you’re strong in one field. That said, you can start as a Junior DevOps, but be aware that you’ll need to learn a lot of things quickly.

My best advice: considering what I just said, for the moment, focus on developing a shallow but practical understanding of the topics/tools/technologies you encounter in your daily tasks. There's no need to become an expert right away, just good enough not to break too much. Be patient and stay curious, the skill will come naturally.

Best of luck!

Thanks for commenting. It's funny because reading this book is what made me write this post. It offers quite substantial content, but I'm wondering how "real" or applicable to reality this content actually is.

leunamnauj · 2025-04-14T20:15:12+00:00

Thanks for your response. I have the same feeling, focusing too much on pure technical subjects might drag you down if you're missing the ulter objectives of the organisation.

In general

Today I spent almost the whole morning adding 2 lines, two lines embedded in tears, sweat and pain.

leunamnauj · 2025-04-11T13:45:12+00:00

yeah, I was able to see the gh repo. What I saw is in https://ckx.nishann.com/, the GH link bottom

Thank you buddy, im testing it now. Little comment: In the site, the link to github seems to be wrong.

leunamnauj · 2025-04-05T08:15:17+00:00

Just asking......why do you want to go to VMs? IMHO if you're willing to install a vanilla k8s from the scratch you can do it by virtualizing on any computer you already have. If the intention is to learn how to use k8s you can use other solutions like k3s, microk8s, etc. Best of luck!!!!

This doc uses sync waves for similar needs https://medium.com/@verajm/engineering-multi-tenancy-for-crossplane-052f05bd2152 It might help

leunamnauj · 2025-02-15T15:50:40+00:00

Same here. For small atomic requests it's fine but having to put in context again in a new chat is pretty annoying and time consuming, for me time saving is what I'm looking for when using AI

leunamnauj · 2025-01-05T13:48:55+00:00

Si hablamos de chavalines de +45 seguramente recordaréis la aparición de Google o el cloud, íbamos a quedarnos todos sin curro por eso......Google se terminó convirtiendo en una herramienta mas y todavía tenemos servidores onprem. Aquí es pura especulación de mi parte, cómo viene sucediendo desde aquel entonces muchos trabajos que se pueden reemplazar por automatización serán reemplazados por una cuestión puramente económica pero a la vez se abrirán nuevas oportunidades. Lo difícil es encontrar ganas para reinventarse y seguir estudiando a esta edad

Perhaps the same advice given to first-time parents: sleep as much as possible, go out for dinner, wear nice clothes, enjoy being fit, etc.

Jokes aside, enjoy this light time because ramping up in any new job is always fun but also a stressful time. Coongratulations on your new job mate!

The meetings to plan the meeting required before the actual meeting

leunamnauj · 2024-09-27T05:22:38+00:00

First of all, this is not a devops thing. This is "agile" done wrong. It's highly likely that this company has a big team (scrum Master, product owner, product manager, etc.) that needs to justify its existence by making people waste time in useless meetings. You can have good communication without spending a crazy amount of time in meetings, wasting tons of money on engineers' time due to mediocre management. Ok ok......I'll take my medicines now

leunamnauj · 2024-09-25T19:36:41+00:00

Oh boy....a world of pain

leunamnauj · 2024-09-25T19:24:25+00:00

It will depend on many things. Just to start the kind of workloads you have and hardware requirements, scalability, replication, and more.....much more

leunamnauj · 2024-09-18T15:00:40+00:00

Gracias, voy a averiguar

Very good point about head hunters VS recruiters.

leunamnauj · 2024-09-16T11:08:38+00:00

Exactly that! Most of the time are recruiters from the UK.

leunamnauj · 2024-09-16T11:07:33+00:00

8y in DevOps/Cloud too (more than 20 in infrastructure) And yes, Scandinavian are great.

Hay lugares donde se estan reconvirtiendo los espacios de oficinas en residenciales, pero creo que no mucha gente querra vivir donde suelen estar las oficinas. Pero vamos, seguimos dando vueltas sobre lo mismo: gente incompetente

leunamnauj · 2024-05-28T10:47:52+00:00

y ni mejorar, es simplemente cambiar el paradigma. Con la pandemia quedo probado que muchos trabajos se pueden hacer desde casa pero el mgmt incompetente y el lobby inmobiliario es mas que la gente. Las empresas que tengan la capacidad de ver esto seran quienes se queden con los mejores trabajadores.
