I nearly fell into my own trap. Now it's back to the drawing board. It was only yesterday that I wrote about companies turning into accidental software creators. Without regular check ups, it's so easy to get sucked into a project and disappear down the rabbit hole. 'We're nearly there, just one more push'. For me, I am working on a course about NetOps. I'm building a lab and use Open Source software to emulate a corporate environment. There were some bugs. One was relatively easily found and fixed (phpipam issue #4094 🤓). Other ones were more difficult so I started to look for alternatives and workaround only to get stuck with other issues. Ultimately, I ended up pulling the plug and going back to the drawing board. Though I now a bit about coding, I am not a software developer capable of writing a whole #Terraform module in #Go. By making a plan with milestones and holding yourself accountable, you end up with progress even if it means backing out of something. Zoom out from time to time and keep an eye on the big picture. In the meantime, the course will come and if you're interested you an subscribe to my newsletter: https://lnkd.in/dvzXFRF6 What metrics do you use to ensure personal growth?

Deploy Jenkins on AWS, GCP, and Azure with the insights from "Pipeline as Code." This book covers everything you need to know about deploying high-availability Jenkins clusters across multiple cloud providers, ensuring your CI/CD pipelines are robust and scalable.

I recently read an insightful article by Sheen Brisals on InfoQ, discussing how the "Set Piece" strategy simplifies managing serverless architectures. By leveraging Domain-Driven Design and microservices, it's possible to create modular applications, reduce dependencies, and ensure sustainable scalability. The focus on team autonomy and well-defined boundaries is key to achieving flexibility in cloud-native environments. This approach is crucial for anyone looking to build flexible and scalable cloud architectures. Take a look:

Infrastructure from Code helps overcome the challenges of infrastructure as code. Read what my colleague Lauren Rother has to say about it on the #CNCF blog.

Introducing Milvus Lite: An interesting approach to have a very simple lightweight implementation of a service that allows for super fast local development, and then allow to make an easy switch to the heavier implementation, like a distributed service or a cloud offering. This allows for fastest possible development iterations, while keeping switching cost to a production service low. I'm always surprised why this is not a more often implemented solution, especially for companies that plan on cloud business.

In GCP's cloud build or github actions, accelerating image building with cache is a game-changer. Creating a cache version and pushing it to the repo for easy access as a cached image is a smart move. But there another option as well.
