Push Build Test Deploy — Yuval Oren on DevOps & AI

This is my unpopular take on Spec Driven Development.

Hi, I’m Yuval Oren.

TLDR; I’m going to try and discourage you from using build warnings / unstable status - those you see in CI platforms like Jenkins.

Last week I started reading the book Range by David Epstein, which talks about how specialization and the “10,000-hours rule” may not be the only path for being an effective professional.

I’m still not 100% sure about Clubhouse, but even if it’s just a hyped-up app, you can definitely catch fascinating conversations here and there.

I think that there is enough confusion when talking about encryption in S3 that it’s worth a short overview to help you avoid mistakes and a false sense of security.

I started writing a post about S3 encryption and thought it would be a good idea to have a separate post that covers encryption at rest and encryption in transit.

Unless you are hosting public files on S3, like your website’s static content, the chances are that you are going to keep your buckets private.

When you think about cost in the DevOps world, the first thing that will come to mind is your AWS bill, or maybe that Datadog subscription.

When starting in a new DevOps position, things always seem overwhelming.

What is the best way to keep environment-specific variables when migrating a Spring Boot application to Kubernetes?

I remember that everyone started talking about Docker.

You know all those “accessKeys (9).csv” files that are lying around in your Downloads folder?

Telepresence does a great job when it comes to local development environments for remote Kubernetes clusters.

The term Secrets Management is trending in the DevOps realm, and you may be struggling to understand the problem it solves.

How did we not catch it before it went on production?

If you are working with Jenkins Shared libraries, you may be missing out on what in my opinion is a great way to structure and test your project.

I’ve spent too much time on this problem, and I hope you don’t have to as well.

When I first started migrating Jenkins to run on Kubernetes, I used the “official” Helm chart, and it got a little confusing.

Sometimes, when working on Jenkins jobs, I find myself stuck in this cycle of committing the Jenkinsfile, pushing it, and running the job over and over again.

Want to talk shop — DevOps, cloud, security, AI, or something you read here?

We all do it, and I’m sure that you do too.

We’ve all been there, given access to an AWS account at your new job or project, and now you’re expected to deliver results.

There are SO many options for running Docker containers today and if you are new to DevOps, you may find it a little overwhelming.

Ansible projects usually start small and “under control” but as time passes by and your codebase grows (along with the product) things can start getting a little messy.
