Load balancers and proxies often get lumped together, but they solve very different problems at different points in the request journey.

Another great resource to keep the skills sharp. You get a remote server with a problem, and your goal is to fix it.

When someone is questioning your reasoning, it’s usually not personal. Curiosity isn’t criticism. 💡

This made me laugh out loud. Soooo accurate 🤣

Whenever I “mess up” at work, I think of outages like these, and remind myself that my situation could be worse. Glad they're back online ✅

Ive been tasked with migrating and containerizing our Atlassian Tools (Bitbucket, Confluence and Jira ). All done with Confluence and Bitbucket. Jira in a few more days.

The “Well, that’s how we’ve always done it.” reason for not pursuing a new initiative should always be challenged. Gotta keep evolving.

Some advice from a senior engineer that stuck with me, recently:

“Don’t try to memorize everything. Learn where the docs are and bookmark them.”

#DevOps #learnk8s #100DaysOfCode #100DaysOfDevOps #homelab #kubernetes #Linux #Tech #TechWithX

Some concepts come easy. Some take time. But that "aha" moment? Worth it every time.
For me, recently, this was understanding TLS termination. What was your recent "aha" moment?

#DevOps #learnk8s #100DaysOfCode #100DaysOfDevOps #homelab #kubernetes #Linux #Tech #TechWithX

You sure "rsync -av" keeps files in sync? It only compares the file's size and timestamp. If content changes without either updating, it's skipped. The "--checksum" flag is the real truth-teller.

Got a crash course in TLS termination, today. The learning never stops ! #Productivity #Tech #DevOps #learnk8s #100DaysOfCode #100DaysOfDevOps #homelab #kubernetes #IT

To all the "Getting Into DevOps" tutorials that don't have any modules on Networking ..shame on you. Networking is such an important foundation that gets skimmed over, or completely skipped, in a lot of tutorials.

A year ago I couldn’t tell you what a PVC or ingress was. Today I’m recovering from broken clusters, migrating core services, and — most importantly — actually feeling confident. 🚀

#DevOps #learnk8s #100DaysOfCode #100DaysOfDevOps #homelab #kubernetes

- Stumbled upon mailgun, and am now using their free tier for my SMTP needs. Which aren't much.
- Deployed Komodo to monitor my docker containers.
#DevOps #learnk8s #100DaysOfCode #100DaysOfDevOps #homelab #kubernetes

I was experimenting with Longhorn and accidentally corrupted a few PVCs, including the one for Pi-hole. Since Pi-hole handles DNS inside my cluster, its downtime meant the entire cluster lost DNS. As a result, Infisical couldn’t resolve DNS, and my apps couldn’t access their secrets.

- Moved PiHole and Infisical (Secrets Manager) to external VMs outside of my K8s cluster. Not sure why I didn't do this when I initially built my cluster 🤷🏾‍♂️ . So what happened? #DevOps #learnk8s #100DaysOfCode #100DaysOfDevOps #homelab #kubernetes

- Fully migrated my K8s stack to RKE2. Having my apps "GItOps"ed made the process less painful then what it could've been.

In the end, I resolved it by just manually recreating the secret pihole was looking for.
✅

My secrets are managed by External Secrets, which was also failing because it couldn't resolve the dns name for Infisical because.... Pi-hole was down
