We're in the process of shifting thoughtbot.social to a Kubernetes cluster via our flightdeck platform.
Been exciting to learn more about the stack and how the structure we use with clients will facilitate scalability, proper monitoring, and security best practices. Learning lots throughout the process :)
We're starting with a staging environment but will be planning out a migration in the near future. Expect an upcoming blog post about our experience coming soon!
Sometimes I'm overwhelmed by the ways in which #DevOps ™️ deviates from my many years of experience doing #sysadmin work, but other times I find the many ways in which 15 years of living and breathing #linux informs my work in really enjoyable ways.
Much has changed, but much remains the same. ❤️ the powerful simplicity of the Unix philosophy.
…Not once did anyone, including senior leadership, suggest punitive action. Nobody blamed the engineer. Instead, we all focused on how our systems could allow something like this to happen by accident.
Culture is incredibly important in the workplace. This engineer was blaming himself for causing an outage, but the rest of us were blaming ourselves for allowing it to happen. If we acknowledge that humans aren’t perfect, that they’re well-intentioned, we move past blame and towards resiliency… 🧵
my greatest achievement so far this year @thoughtbot is getting cute custom emojis added to our mastodon 
CICD pipelines with tools like Github Actions are great for use cases where certain collaboration and complexity require that ecosystem; but I've really come to appreciate simple automated deploy setups with git hooks and basic bash scripts.
Scenario: setup a remote repo via ssh access, add a post-receive hook that triggers a deploy script that pulls latest code and restarts a system service...
No external dependencies, high level of security, quick to get running, elegant in its simplicity. For side projects I've found this to be an extremely satisfying automated process that takes a push to main and translates that into a production deploy. Very convenient. #Sysadmin #SysadminTips #automation #programming #DevOps #git
:flan_guns:Had an amazing weekend with my best friend and pup snow shoeing around beatiful Pacific Northwest national forest area.
Good food, nice hikes, zero cell reception, just warm fires and lots of reading time. #snow #PacificNorthwest #washington #oregon #DogsOfMastodon #NewYear
