experienceddevops VS pritunl-k8s-tf-do

I'm looking for a company that is willing to judge me based off of past experience and previous projects I've already completed. So ideally no LeetCode, and no more take homes unless you want me to post them publicly. Ideally looking to come in at $160K+ for mid level or $200K+ for senior, depending on how much of a match there is between me and the position, and a sign-on bonus would be incredible. Hopefully I have enough of a reputation at this point where you've seen my posts and comments in /r/devops and already know what I'm capable of, but if not, I'm happy to chat about previous projects in-depth and go over what I've worked on. A code review as part of the interview process would be absolutely stellar. This is what I've been working on recently as well as my "homelab" if you re looking for some specifics. DM or chat with your work email for an official resume

We have homework labs in /r/ExperiencedDevOps that you can follow, implement, and/or contribute to, the terraform-aws lab might be worth exploring as a base to start from.

Glad to hear you enjoy my content! No blog but I do have a subreddit at /r/ExperiencedDevOps as well as a subreddit wiki I'm in the process of starting up!

Hi there, this should be a good base for you to work from. Deploys a django app in an auto scaling group through terraform in AWS using GitHub Actions for CICD. Good luck!

That'd be great! If you can create a full on lab scenario, maybe based off of this code for DO, I'll pay ya $200 for it in like a month.

Here you go, enjoy!

You should join the hangops slack group, I know plenty of folks in there using it daily! Also the crossplane slack. If you want to hack on it be sure to follow the tutorial, automate the creation of the kubernetes instance using Terraform, then use Terraform to install all the configuration files. Do this in a GHA pipeline, and when done submit a PR! Would be awesome if you wanted to mess with it and contribute!

I have a full example here of a working GHA pipeline that deploys terraform infrastructure. This deploys atlantis, which can then be used to deploy Pritunl VPN. Works almost perfectly except for the fact that helm yaml encoded sensitive values are revealed on terraform destroy, so I simply don't have anything sensitive encoded in yaml.

Hey now, I've already got a homelab that launches a k8s cluster and installs Pritunl VPN for coffee shop wifi. I do at least understand that tools need a valid use case before being applied, although admittedly installing it on k8s vs just using Nomad or something is more RDD than not for this one.

Already done, but good call on learning how to create conditionals. I will look into it!

Playing around with grafana/loki/prometheus all via Terraform, GitHub Actions, and Atlantis in a public repo.

I set up a whole pipeline to install and configure Pritunl VPN on DigitalOcean and it only costs me like $60/month for a 3 node cluster.

https://github.com/autotune/pritunl-k8s-tf-do/blob/master/README.md is the repo. The README should answer any questions about how the pipeline works but the end result is a pritunl webgui listening on port 80 with an ingress route for https, a SERVICE load balancer that listens for VPN connections, and the ability to connect to said service load balancer over Pritunl VPN client. Note this is missing a few things, for one you can only have a replica set of 1 in the deployment. I need to figure out how to add HA with the "enterprise" edition at $70/month extra (still relatively cheap for what you get!). But for personal use it should suffice. Also, I tried using an ingress for the vpn itself but can't get it working, so stuck with SVC load balaner instead, which works fine. Any suggestions here would be appreciated!

All I know for sure is the one cert I was using with letsencrypt kept failing to renew. I just tried it with zerossl since the sign up page cert was finally renewed last night and people have generally been happy with them outside this little incident and seems to actually be working as expected. The helm release I am using is linked to via tf here and the ingress rules are here.
