experienceddevops VS thanos

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!

Sounds like you want something like Thanos

Yes, but also no. The Prometheus ecosystem already has two FOSS time-series databases that are complementary to Prometheus itself. Thanos and Mimir. Not to mention M3db, developed at Uber, and Cortex, then ancestor of Mimir. There's a bunch of others I won't mention as it would take too long.

Long term storage all depends on your needs and sophistication. I use Thanos for our system since it has an extremely flexible scaling system. But there is also Grafana Mimir. They're both similar in that they use Prometheus TSDB format as part of the underlying storage. One nice Thanos advantage is that it does do downsampling in addition to being able to store raw metric data for a long time. It will auto-select downsampled data to make requests faster.

You can aggregate all your clusters Prometheus metrics together with a wonderful tool called Thanos. This will allow you to use just a single Grafana instance against Thanos and using a label select which cluster you wish to see metrics from. The downside of this, is that none of the Grafana dashboards from the internet will work as-is. You'll need to customize all of them for Thanos support. The other downside is, you have a single point of failure, and (see next item) you can't customize who can access what in regards to your dev vs production data/metrics/access.

Depending on how you want to set things up, you can use Thanos or Mimir to create the single-pane-of-glass view of your data.

You could look at something like Thanos and store your data in S3: https://thanos.io/
