Special thanks to a friend for reminding me 😀 I would have put off writing this day because it was pretty uneventful
I got to watch a live deployment – confused beyond belief – I come from the world of developing software with a bit of CI/CD automation knowledge
This looked like ancient voodoo magic
I also had to do company internal training regarding topics I am not allowed to disclose
Waiting on getting access right / permissions
In the meantime, looking up what Helm is and figuring out a way to practice Kubernetes locally
So that when I get permissions, I can be useful 😀
Your tech stack might vary, but you will most likely work with some variety of Kubernetes, Docker / containers, Virtual Machines, and a whole bunch more to continuously deploy. Not to mention infrastructure apps like Argocd, Terraform or Ansible
Another important concept is GitOps, as previously mentioned 😀 – (infrastructures as code version controlled via Git) – how I like to call it
In addition to that blog articles on what I learn might follow, from setting up SSH keys for GitLab, managing SSH key hell all the way to what Helm, ArgoCD & Terraform are, why they are used and how to practice them / get hands-on with the tools
Passion projects gonna creep in like – how to use DevOps as a solo dev? (When time is of the essence or you’re just the only one on a project, having a system you can trust is vital + that is quick & self-healing)
But I digress 😀 always get so excited about this!
I will get back to ya soon to document the following days stay tuned
