I’ve got a question regarding DNSSEC enabled domains. If I have a domain (domain1.com) that has DNSSEC enabled and I want to create a CNAME for “test.domain1.com” that points to an A record of another DNSSEC enabled domain (domain2.com) “test.domain2.com” is this going to work for resolvers in DNSSEC strict mode? Both domains have their own keys.

I am interested to hear of folks experience with how they’ve seen interop between CD into production environments with a governing change management process (RFC/CAB/etc) that may be required by a compliance body in their industry (such as PCI DSS:

6.4.5 Change control procedures for the implementation of security patches and software modifications. Procedures must include the following: 6.4.5.1 Documentation of impact. 6.4.5.2 Documented change approval by authorized parties. 6.4.5.3 Functionality testing to verify that the change does not adversely impact the security of the system. 6.4.5.4 Back-out procedures. )

For example, using code review to accomplish 6.4.5.2

so, after 2 years — anyone here using it ? any stories/opinions to share?

https://www.consul.io/docs/nia

Network Infrastructure Automation | Consul by HashiCorp

Network Infrastructure Automation (NIA) is the concept of dynamically updating infrastructure devices triggered by service changes. Consul-Terraform-Sync is a tool that performs NIA and utilizes Consul as a data source that contains networking information about services and monitors those services. Terraform is used as the underlying automation tool and leverages the Terraform provider ecosystem to drive relevant changes to the network infrastructure.

Hi, I am new to this group. But already used eks and efs modules :thumbsup: Great work !!!! I am very curious to know terragrunt vs TF native modules. Do we still need terragrunt? I am sure in past to avoid DRY, terragrunt was great. Is it still applicable/relevant? I am confused as my company have AWS/EKS/DNS/LB code with terragrunt, which is adding extra layer of learning for me.

Appreciate clarification!!!!

Matt Gowie avatar
Matt Gowie

This is a personal preference thing, so it’ll depend on whoever setup the project initially.

Most people here (myself included) are not terragrunt people. Cloud Posse modules and some glue resources can accomplish most AWS architectures more simply without terragrunt.

I’d check out #terragrunt if you have terragrunt specific questions / need help from folks using it.

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar
Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)

We’ve also just published our alpha version for a new project we’ve been using (~10 months) that is similar in objective with terragrunt (task running / workflows), but using a tool called #variant . This is not ready though for beginners and we’ll be updating the documentation with examples for how to get started. We fundamentally don’t believe in the filesystem layout for configuration that is a best practice for #terragrunt and instead believe configuration should be separate from code and directories. So that’s why we’ve moved to using a YAML configuration.

https://github.com/cloudposse/variants

This is designed to work both on the command line and natively with terraform cloud (PR pending).

Again, documentation is lacking, examples are missing… we’ll be updating that in the coming weeks.

Anyone know if if InfluxDB graphing/metrics view allows presentation formatting like grafana, so instead of “122400 seconds” you get “1 day 10 mins”? One thing I never figured out and why I always reverted back to Grafana to make the information more presentable.

I want to ask if maybe I could pick someones brain about building the skills I need to get into a career in devops? I am currently a CS masters student and will graduate next year. I also have ~2 years of work experience as a software engineer, mostly doing microservice stuff w/ python & CI/CD automation. Would the office hours be a good place to chat?

MattyB avatar

The devops roadmap is a great overview for everything I’ve worked on over the years. Some of the things like logs, monitoring, network, and web servers I have very limited experience with. On the other hand I’ve worked in over 7 languages, I know CI/CD really well, IaC (Terraform), AWS, containers, Git. etc.. really well.

MattyB avatar

My point is that it does cover everything really well, don’t get too caught up on becoming an expert at it all. Everything will naturally tie itself together when you need it to.

I wanted to ask one other thing - what got you interested in DevOps over traditional software engineering?

For me, I just find it more interesting. I think being able to deploy infrastructure via code and deploy it with the click of a button on a pipeline is super cool. I also love messing around on the command line.

Chris Fowles avatar
Chris Fowles

there’s a bunch of tools and stuff that you can learn - you sound smart enough to figure that out yourself

Chris Fowles avatar
Chris Fowles

the things that are harder to learn without burnt fingers are around the ops and sre side of the role

Chris Fowles avatar
Chris Fowles

i tend to use things like https://12factor.net/ to evaluate workloads and how much trouble i think they’re going to cause me down the line - teams that cover off a lot of this tend to have a good grasp on things

Chris Fowles

https://landing.google.com/sre/sre-book/toc/index.html is a great introduction into SRE thinking

Chris Fowles avatar
Chris Fowles

the other thing that’s worth spending some time on learning is transformational leadership methodologies - as you’ll often find yourself as a change agent, and knowing how to get people on board with it and mitigate detractors is a valuable skill

hello everyone,

Not sure what channel to post this question on.

I started using pre-commit but it doesn’t recognize the yaml files in the directory. I have the default .pre-commit-config.yaml plus two more test.yml & test2.yaml to test this check-yaml hook. Does anyone have an idea of what could be preventing the hook to recognize the yaml files?

This is my .pre-commit-config.yaml:

repos:
-   repo: <https://github.com/pre-commit/pre-commit-hooks>
    rev: v3.3.0
    hooks:
    -   id: check-yaml
    -   id: trailing-whitespace
    -   id: end-of-file-fixer
    -   id: check-added-large-files
    -   id: check-case-conflict
    -   id: check-merge-conflict
    -   id: check-executables-have-shebangs

-   repo: git://github.com/antonbabenko/pre-commit-terraform
    rev: v1.43.0
    hooks:
      - id: terraform_fmt
      - id: terraform_docs

and this is the output:

roth.andy avatar
roth.andy

Skipped means it didn’t find any files to check. They were likely not modified since the last git commit.

Try running pre-commit run -a

roth.andy avatar
roth.andy

The pre-commit hook only looks at files that are staged (git add)

Hello Everyone. Not sure if this is the correct channel.

I’m trying to insert data into a table with dblink. I run some computation in a redshift remote database and then want to insert that data into a table in Postgres. It seems that you have to supply the columns that will be inserted into the table as part of your dblink query. I don’t know that information and I’ve been told it’s about 100 columns….is there a way to dynamically build that column list and insert? Can I just insert the output from the query on redshift into the table in postgres
