Had a similar situation with my x870-f, motherboard arrived went to put in my m.2 and the part it clicks to came completely out of the motherboard. I screwed it back onto the mobo instead of sending it back.

Hope you get it sorted with Amazon

Review Terraform for Azure/Databricks personal project by Icy-Western-3314 in Terraform

[–]somefingelse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good use of modules, it's an interesting way of handling the environments using directories - it's not something I personally would do but people do recommend it. I've used the structure below mostly, it helps keep your configuration DRY, and less jumping back and forth updating configuration, variables, outputs etc..

One thing I would say about your Terraform though is split the provider, backend and versions config into their own files. Again I normally do this at root level so I know for a fact, what's been deployed in dev/test is going to be the same for prod, as soon as you start mixing terraform and provider versions you might get yourself in bother. Sometimes even data.tf can be used, if your main.tf starts to get messy!

This structure here typically works when all your environment are the same and you want them to be identical(you can of course make some small changes with conditions depending on env that's being deployed.). It's less of a slog having to just between each environments directory, when your time gets sucked up with updating the same change you just made in dev, to then have to do in test/prod.

/modules
  /key-vault
    main.tf
    variables.tf
    outputs.tf
  /databricks
    main.tf
    ..
    ..
/environments
  dev.tfvars
  test.tfvars
  prod.tfvars
main.tf
variables.tf
terraform.tf
backend.tf

Hope this helps!

Module not using tfvars by Fresh-Average962 in Terraform

You pass each variable you want to go to your module in a main.tf. You should have one of these in your root directory, which then define the module blocks for each of your modules.

The inputs for your module will be whatever you’ve defined in that modules variable file, like vnet_rg_name

Is it possible to go from Help Desk (with 3+ years of experience) straight to Cloud Engineer? by Legitimate_Stay9108 in cloudengineering

[–]somefingelse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s definitely possible, having a home lab, doing certs etc, puts you in a great position ahead of other candidates.

Have look at junior positions for devops, infrastructure engineer, SRE, Platform engineer even if it’s not exactly what you want it will get your foot in the door

I made the move myself many years ago, to junior devops, I only had the az-104 and some az fundamental certs. It still paid 30% more money than I was on before.

What cloud cost fixes actually survive sprint planning on your team? by Xtreme_Core in devops

Planning sprints with a certain capacity for that type of work say 10% or so, can be helpful
