Howdy π, I'm Butch Mayhew
Looking forward to continuing to learn more about the systems that run our software, along with ways in which to increase feedback loops. I've got a pretty solid understanding of all things Quality / Software Testing, but still learning the Ops side of things.
I learned about Ops.IO from Page it to the Limit podcast :)

So glad you came to join us, @bmayhew! That's one cheery profile gif you've got going on there π
What's the #1 thing on the Ops side that you're trying to wrap your head around just now? Let's see if we can direct you to some helpful resources and the people behind them...
(Can't forget to send a big thank-you to @lnxchk and the Page It To The Limit podcast for sending Butch our way!)
Currently working to determine the best architecture and toolset for building out our infrastructure as code. Our team has started to build things out in Terraform, but we aren't hard committed yet, but that is the direction we are leaning. It seems like Terraform and tools in this space can do a lot of things, I'm trying to figure out what I want it to t do for us, what I don't want it to do for us.
Our long term plan is to modularize our system, and building a platform for our devs to provide a simple yml file, we take that and build out the infrastructure needed for that service.
Sounds like you have a lot of exploring to do! I'm not sure exactly what questions you and your team are asking, but check out @jatin, @the_cozma, @xaviermignot, and @javi_labs content on Terraform for some honest opinions and possible solutions.
They're all super helpful people with plenty of insight to share. Leave a comment on their posts with any questions you might have.
ETA: You might also enjoy @oleonardorodrigues's recent post on Terraform modules β¨
Awesome to read Butch! If you have questions please shoot them we are all here to help each other :)
The approach you mention is totally possible with Terraform, I don;t do it with yaml files but json files as configuration files which then I feed to terraform modules that form my infrastructure needs (I have modules that contains multiple resources inside that makes a "building block").
In my posts you will find this approach used many times and also one for document in confluence (but you can use the idea to do the same in other platforms as well) so you have the complete pack, IaC and DocumentationAsCode :)
Hope you enjoy the community and welcom again!
Wow, that's awesome @bmayhew! Glad to hear my podcast debut didn't scare you away.
Welcome to The Ops Community!
How are you doing this lovely day can we be friends drop you number over here I will chatted you up okay

Welcome, Princess! What are you most excited to learn about in the field of DevOps, based on what you already know?
Thank you Ellaπ! Docker and Kubernetics π
Excellent @nicedamsel25! We have plenty of Kubernetes content around here!
Sounds like you probably want to meet @aerosouund and the people I mentioned in Ammar's intro thread.
Let us know if you have any questions about particular things you're discovering!

Welcome, @bhausabp! We're glad you're here.
What Next-Gen technologies are you most excited about this week? We're curious to learn more about what's top-of-mind for you π
Hello people β€
I'm Ammar. A DevOps engineer focused on AWS and k8s. I hope to become a domain expert in kubernetes and so I'm learning golang and all sorts of kubernetes niches
Happy to be with you!
Welcome @aerosouund, you should meet @the_cozma, @danielepolencic, and @jgaskins - all very knowledgeable about Kubernetes, too!
Great to meet you all. I'll make sure to follow them β€
Nice to hear that, seems you have a lot of experience already. Happy to collaborate

What question would you love to know the answer to?
Hi, everyone. I'm Tal. Aspiring backend developer.
Just looking to learn as much as I can. Any help and/or advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Hey @tal! Welcome to The Ops Community, where there's a wealth of wisdom about backend topics like #aws, #azure, and #kubernetes.
I recommend browsing topics you're most interested in and finding articles relevant to you. If you read an article or post that's especially helpful, make sure to leave a comment and let the author know or ask a follow-up question. Sooner than you realize, you'll be making connections with experts all around the world.
I'm excited to follow along with your progress!
Uche here. I'm a newbie in the tech space having pivoted from food service. I'm keen on learning about python, r, spss, sas, html and css
Hi Uche! Welcome! That's quite a spread of things you want to learn about, you've got there.
While this community is definitely here to help you with your pivot if you're aiming to move into DevOps, for the stack you've just listed I'm going to recommend you stop by some other places to get more relevant support and advice.
I like to suggest CodeNewbie to get started with Python, HTML, and CSS; I used to be a mod for that community and it's such a helpful environment for beginner coding!
Alternatively, if you're looking to focus on R, SPSS, SAS, you might want to check out the r/statistics subreddit for relevant communities and subs. It's a friendly sub, and people there seem very open to beginner questions.
If you decide you want to dig into DevOps technologies, we are here for it! Let us know what you'd like to learn more about and we will help where we can!
Philo pronounced as Pillow!
He,
Still a novice I will appreciate even the little knowledge that is shared to grow.

If you encounter anything you'd like help to understand further, we encourage you to ask your question directly in the comments on the post - we are all here to help you learn and grow! π±
