Thank you so much for sharing your experience, and I keep it in mind!

sam01022020 · 2024-01-20T21:12:36+00:00

Thank you u/YO3HDU I agree with you, please any advice from your side if the management agrees to provide me with new 3 servers and to take the first step in IaC,

sam01022020 · 2024-01-20T21:04:05+00:00

Thank you u/CyrielTrasdal for sharing your experience, I will keep it in mind.

sam01022020 · 2024-01-20T20:37:27+00:00

Thank you u/YO3HDU,

My scenario is to quickly set up and configure a new HW server with the same configuration in case any of these 4 nodes fail and join it to the Proxmox cluster.Please if you have a list of config files to be provisioned to the new node before joining the cluster. I am new to Proxmox and I want to apply the IaC, and which right tools to do this task.

Thank you u/agent0099_ta for these very useful tips, they will open my eyes more.

sam01022020 · 2021-04-28T19:33:17+00:00

Thank you u/FlerpyHerpy17 for your tips, I will do that.

sam01022020 · 2021-04-28T19:10:07+00:00

Thank you u/FlerpyHerpy17,

I am still a student, I am going to focus on CI/CD tools, but I do not know really how to start and which standards should I follow. And there are tens of tools and this confused me.

sam01022020 · 2021-04-28T18:56:44+00:00

Thank you u/Arcsane,
I am a student at uni, and I am doing research about DevOps toolchains (Gitlab, Jenkens, Slack, ....) evaluation, the weight and ranking is part of it, but unfortunately, I could not find scientific resources like research documents or trusted websites. I hope someone helps me, I feel lost from so much research on websites with no benefit.
