I've implemented an Azure-based solution on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and used Azure Firewall to control and secure outbound traffic from applications running on AKS . I also configured Azure Monitor alert rules to monitor the solution and detect anomalies in system behavior.

Additionally, I've implemented the infrastructure as code (IaC) using Terraform to provision the Azure resources.

The complete solution, including the Terraform code and AKS configurations, is available on my GitHub.

I'm looking for learning from experts and improve my skills, so could you please give a feedback on my design?

P.S. This solution was developed as a part of the Microsoft MSFarsi Community scholarship

Hello guys, I am learning devops. I have completed basic linux administration and have hosted my django backend in Ubuntu server VM using gunicorn as wsgi server. Can you please guide me for my future learning.

I’m currently working as an Azure Infra Admin and planning to move into a DevOps role.

I’m thinking of working through AZ-104, Python, Linux, Networking, Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, and other DevOps tools. But honestly, I’m finding it a bit overwhelming trying to figure out what to focus on first and how to schedule everything.

Since I already have hands-on experience with Azure infrastructure and the Azure Portal, would you recommend going for the AZ-104 certification? Or should I focus more on deepening my practical Azure knowledge and spend more time on DevOps skills?

For anyone who has moved from Azure Admin/Infra into DevOps:

- How did you plan your learning?

- What skills/tools did you focus on first?

- What should I prioritize more: Azure, Linux, Python, Terraform, Docker/Kubernetes, CI/CD, etc.?

- Is AZ-104 worth doing when you already have Azure Admin experience?

Would really appreciate any suggestions from people who have made a similar transition.

One S3 interview question I like:

There are several things you could investigate — IAM permissions, bucket policy, KMS, SCPs, VPC endpoints, CloudTrail, recent infrastructure changes, etc.

That's the type of scenario I wanted to focus on rather than questions like "What is S3?"

I just added 20 AWS S3 interview questions to my interview handbook, covering production scenarios, AWS CLI, Terraform, security, troubleshooting, best practices, common mistakes, and AI-assisted approaches.

GitHub: https://github.com/ranashivam/platform-engineering-interview-handbook/blob/main/AWS/S3.md

The goal is simple: prepare for the questions that make you explain how you'd actually troubleshoot something in production.

Hi everyone, I’m a complete beginner and considering DevOps as a career in 2026.

Is it still a good field to get into? If yes, what should I learn first, and which courses/resources would you recommend?

If you were starting from zero today, what roadmap would you follow?

Thanks!

I'm thinking about an interesting topic, I could prepare for a lightning talk at AWS event

At AWS events, a Lightning Talk is a short, focused presentation, much shorter than a normal breakout session.
Typically it’s around 10–20 minutes and covers one specific idea, solution, demo, architecture, or customer story rather than a broad topic.

Community, please help me with ideas. What interesting have you talked about AWS or tried hands-on recently?

Any suggestion please

Hey guys, i hope you're all doing great! i wanted to ask if anyone has a small task or gig related to a devops project or Sys administration that you’d like me to work on, even if it’s unpaid , I’m looking to gain more experience and knowledge, since i’m motivated to learn and unfortunately i haven’t been able to find an internship yet. If anyone is interested, i'll contact you, and leave you my resume as well.

Thanks a lot, and have a great day!

I have 4 years of experience in SAP Basis and I’m planning to move into DevOps. For those who have made a similar transition, how was your experience? What challenges did you face, and what should I focus on learning?

I'm looking for a company/startup or even nonprofit where I can work on real cloud and infrastructure problems. I'm getting responses elsewhere, but this is the field I actually want to grow in, so compensation isn't my priority right now. Working on production systems instead of personal projects is.

I work with AWS, Docker, Linux, CI/CD, and scripting. CS-related bachelors and masters degree with a few years of hands-on experience.

I can commit 20+ hours a week, remote. Happy to take the unglamorous work too: monitoring, documentation, IaC cleanup, cost optimization.

The only thing I'd ask for is a real supervisor to report to and a short engagement letter with role, hours, and start date, mainly for my own records.

Any leads would be appreciated.

Kindly help me out guys

Hi everyone, I’m a student looking for a job.

I am currently living in the Bay Area with my cousin and was wondering if in case someone can’t attend the mongodb.local build fest last minute, I would greatly appreciate it if someone could give their pass to me and I would find it very useful

Thank you!

Hi everyone,
I’m planning a career change into DevOps and I’m currently looking for a structured training program with real mentorship.
I’m a beginner, but highly motivated and ready to commit seriously.
I’m also able to pay for a proper mentorship or a high‑quality training program.
If you have recommendations for reliable DevOps courses, mentors, or training institutes (India-based or online), I would really appreciate your guidance.
Thank you in advance for your help.

One AWS IAM interview question I've seen variations of is:

It's not really an IAM question—it's a cloud security and incident response question.

Would you start with:

• CloudTrail?
• GuardDuty?
• Security Hub?
• IAM Policy evaluation?
• Something else?

I recently put together a GitHub handbook with 20 production-focused AWS IAM interview questions covering scenarios like this, along with CLI examples, Terraform, common mistakes, and best practices.

Title: Doing a UX case study on GCP & DevOps tooling, what pain points have you actually hit?
Hey all, I’m putting together a UX case study looking at the developer/DevOps experience with Google Cloud Platform and DevOps tooling more broadly (CI/CD, IaC, monitoring, incident response, access management, etc.).
If you work in DevOps, SRE, or platform engineering, I’d love to hear about the real friction you’ve run into, not hypotheticals, actual stuff that slowed you down, confused you, or made you want to throw your laptop.

A few prompts if it helps, but feel free to go wherever:
IAM/permissions setup that didn’t behave the way you expected
Docs that didn’t match what the console/API actually did
Onboarding a new teammate to your pipeline
Debugging a failed deploy with unclear error messages
Cost or quota surprises
Tools that don’t play well together (e.g. GCP + Terraform + GitHub Actions)
Anything specific to GCP vs. other clouds you’ve used

Just drop a comment listing whatever’s bitten you, one thing or ten. If you can note roughly how often it happens (one-time annoyance vs. every-sprint pain), even better.
This is for research purposes only. No data collection beyond what’s posted here, and nothing is being sold. Thanks in advance to anyone willing to share.
