Hello Team, I am Harsha from Berlin, Germany
Thanks for the warm welcome note

Anyone used rundeck before? Care to share your use case and thoughts/experiences?

Hi there. I'm trying to implement a cloudposse/bastion with cloudposse/hithub-authorized-keys. I've managed to set it up on a ubuntu host runnign both from a docker container. I've hit an issue with github-authorized-keys etcd caching. I've installed etcd on the ubuntu host and its visible inside the github-authorized-keys container when I run netstat -tlpn but I'm getting this error: `

{"class":"ETCDCache","level":"error","method":"Set","msg":"Storage: Connection failed","time":"2020-04-03T20:04:22Z"}

Can anyone help be debug this?
I've also oppened a github issue with more details: https://github.com/cloudposse/github-authorized-keys/issues/32

Anyone use lerna (https://github.com/lerna/lerna)? About ready to nuke a monorepo of npm modules and create individual repos for each one cause I can't figure out how to get lerna to publish only the packages that have actually changed.

@btai did you have a look at pomerium in your search for identity proxies?

(or anyone else for that matter ☝️ )

Good courses here and a good deal. https://training.linuxfoundation.org/april-2020-promo/

We've been using [confd](https://github.com/kelseyhightower/confd) for a long time to generate application config files from SSM param store, it's no longer maintained however and there are some bugs.

Do you all use something else similar?

Specifically the use case is generating config files at instance runtime, populating values from ssm parameter store.

Unfortunately we deploy some apps that cannot be configured via env vars, and require runtime specific info that cannot be baked into AMIs (like instance ip address).

If we could find a way to trigger SSM State Associations after an instance from a auto scaling group boots.. we could remove the confd dep.

What is the best tool to capture packages on EC2 level? Has anybody used tool called “gigamon”?

gigamon, that's some kind of Japanese Godzilla monster right?

has anyone deployed sourcegraph? looks like a much better version of opengrok

i don't see any public terraform modules for it but i wonder if the https://github.com/turnerlabs/terraform-ecs-fargate module can be used with its docker container to deploy it

Some devops patterns deserve their own name, here are a few to start with -> https://zacharyloeber.com/2020/04/devops-patterns/

Are there any other cloud providers out there offering a service like AWS SSM param store and or session manager?

Have proposal to allow tooling/project/module that is general and not company specific to be published on github publicly by engineers. I blog regularly and have been advocating for this to be openly supported and finally have progress. I would like a policy that promotes trust but also gives the company that is used to everything being locked down a policy to assure what type of material is permitted and some basic log of this.

a prebuilt policy out there would really help. Having trouble finding one. 
I'm not looking to publish under company github account, just share tooling/automation oriented work. 

The essence of what I'd summarize: 

Assumed
• No secrets... ever
• No logins/references to company
• No business logic
• No database schema for business application
Allowed Types of Code
Automation, infrastructure-as-code (minus any specific company configurations), developer tooling (like helper scripts and apps that just help workflow and save time)
contributions to open source to improve tooling we leverage
Blogging on general technology concepts learned (excluding anything of course sensitive or giving knowledge to competitors on projects or anything else)


Process
• run history scan for secrets to validate repo history
• validate license and disclaimer applied
• log with manager and register in central log/workitem tracking to have record of it

... in progress... hoping for a jump start. Again this is all very much "got a build-harness thing here" or "terraform module to contribute on managing github repos" etc...

Started a repo for practicing with Istio. I'd love it if some people tried it out and provided any feedback you might have. It assumes that you already know your way around Docker and Kubernetes.

An absurdly long (1505 pages!) SRE handbook I stumbled across the other day. Mostly foundational stuff but worth a once over: https://legacy.gitbook.com/book/s905060/site-reliability-engineer-handbook/details

Hey everyone! 👋 Glad to be here! I just started setting up a Geodesic module for our new Codefresh pipeline and I was wondering who here has already done it and/or maybe which channel would be best to ask any questions about Geodesic?

Hey everyone, I'm hosting a Women in DevOps webinar next week with the CEO of LaunchDarkly, One of the Hasicorp team (Name TBC), a really great woman from Google, she wrote the SRE book around how these remote times how to maintain best-practice and progress. If anyone fancies joining and getting involved than please do its at 12pm PDT on 4/30. It's completely free and would love to see some new faces https://www.meetup.com/Women-in-DevOps/events/270083899/

ps. I need to update the flyer!

Hey there!
...not sure if this is the right channel for my questions, I'll try:
• do you use bastion servers in general or do you prefer AWS SSM Sessions? - seems like a kind of "vendor lock-in"
• are you still able to ansible your infra? also including dynamic playbooks?
• are you able to simply ssh using some tool like aws-fuzzy-finder? (https://github.com/pmazurek/aws-fuzzy-finder)
I don't want to manually update my .ssh/config with each infra updates since we create and delete instances quite frequently

If you use GitHub you've probably seen how unstable it's been in the last couple months. We subscribe the companys engineering to their githubstatus email subscription which contains the unsubscribe button.

How do devops and IT prevent people manage email subscriptions? Can you prevent people from hitting the unsubscribe button? Or can the link be removed from the email completely?

Would really be interested if anyone has actually tried this service to talk about it on today's call. http://relay.sh/

While I love coding, the level of plumbing/yak shaving required to get automation on various platforms to talk to each means we often just have a lot of automation debt hanging around. This seems super promising as IFTTT/Zapier for DevOps. I have a call to talk with them this week. I really would be interested in if anyone else has explored this to hear more from you

I came across this Slack workspace because I was applying to a job at Cloud Posse but I have to say I am finding this is an amazing resource for day to day devops tools. Thank you for this!
