Analyzing applications is definitely something that I don’t usually do here, but based on the current situation that we live in, dealing with investments has never been more relevant, especially in the long term. Many engineers like me spend a good part of their lives receiving good salaries and being invited at all times to be part of new projects, where they normally receiving a good package of perks and company stock options. However, it is not very common to hear from friends that they do not have short-term investments and do not even consider anything in the long term…
The code is the key to determine if your company will be another level of Infrastructure management and automation. This has never so been clear as the last in recent years. The number of opportunities for professionals like DevOps, SRE, or an Infrastructure Engineer in some markets exceeds the demand for Software Engineers. Sounds that the tools that have been used successfully for a while seem to no longer serve teams and companies. Nowadays, with the high demand for hybrid cloud, and even for companies that choose a unique cloud provider are failing. The tools didn’t provide support for containers…
I’m an engineer that worked with infrastructure as a system engineer at that time when we didn’t know what’s Jenkins because it was called Hudson. When NGNIX had a logo that looks like a Russian jet.
I was reflecting on which options we have to run Kubernetes locally in my macOS. I know that on Linux the options are much more flexible because Linux is the Kubernetes home.
Unfortunately, I have to work with macOS as most of the Engineers that I have contact with. Looking for attending my requirement I made an analysis of Docker Desktop, Minikube, and Kind to understand what is the best option to run my Kubernetes Cluster.
Some Bluetooth devices, especially proprietary devices, did not work properly on old versions of Fedora other than this latest version, due to the great improvements coming from the low level and from the user level showing a more stable support.
I believe that much of this effort comes from the impressive community that Fedora has. This shows how the distribution can focus on innovation and at the same time stabilize resources requested by users.
In my environment has a “Lenovo ThinkPad T460p” laptop where I use daily the bluetooth devices “Logitech Keyboard Model K810” and “Beats Studio Wireless Model B0501”…
A normal day I was under the protection of my headphones thinking about some ideas like kubernetes clusters, continuous integration, continuous deployment was when I received the mission: We could migrate to Google DNS!
Almost instantly I started thinking about my requirements for this migration:
* Create an Infrastructure as a code
* Document all zones and records
* Easy reproducibility
With my requirements in the mind I thought: I need create a tool to make this communication between my DNS data and Google DNS. That’s when I looked at the Google DNS API documentation and realized that Python 3…
I remember glorious times, in the year 1998. Where I and some colleagues set up a Sun Microsystems(Sparc) server to serve as a DNS using Debian. Everything was complicated and as new engineers did not give up knowing every piece of the server, how they worked, it was practically the era of caves in terms of data centers.
Today we have a many of new concepts, technologies and an increasingly faster. Where those who do not move quickly towards the new one may not need to move anymore. …
I am not an entrepreneur or a high-level manager, but in the eyes of an engineer I would like to share some insides. Many should be thinking programming languages or specific technologies will be the theme of this post. I hope I do not disappoint my fellows, but definitely this does not seem to have relevance in the history of impressive projects. Who would have spoken a few years ago that PHP could be the difference for Facebook or Python as the engine of YouTube. These examples constantly surprise us, I speak of us engineers who defend programming languages, technologies…
