Posts published under the DevOps account are collective contributions by the dbi services DevOps consultants. The practice covers Kubernetes and container platforms, CI/CD toolchains, and infrastructure automation with Ansible and Terraform, including the YaK framework for multi-cloud deployments, helping organizations make their infrastructure reproducible, scalable, and efficient.
I’d like to share in this post a quick setup using Docker containers for Ansible testing. I wanted to create a small lab for my Ansible scripts testing. The natural option that came to my mind was to create some virtual machines with Virtualbox using Vagrant in order to automate that process. However as I’m using a Macbook with a…
After being a regular reader of this blog for months, I’m thrilled to publish my first post! Vim is a very powerful editing tool to know in Linux and sometimes the only text editor available when connected to a machine using command line interface.Regarding the CKA exam, it is the text editor selected to be used and so knowing a…
As you might know, I have discovered Ansible 1 year ago. Since then, I am not using for its main purpose as wikipedia says: Ansible is an open-source software provisioning, configuration management, and application-deployment tool enabling infrastructure as code. Instead, I develop few playbooks for others objectives. I will present you two of them: Search in Logs In one customer,…

In Ansible, definition of variable precedence is often overlooked. Despite what I wrote in my previous blog (Use Ansible like a Programming Language), Ansible is not exactly a programming language. There is a difference, especially on the way variables are managed. At the beginning, as I am used to scripting, I was a bit confused by the way Ansible is…
For my day 3 recap, please jump here. The fourth day has started and I decided to attend a couple of session. Both are not in my direct field of expertise but promised to be very interesting. Network architectures for inbound traffic inspection This by chalk-talk was organized by Alexandra Huides and Tom Adamski, both Senior Architects from AWS. During…
For my day 2 recap, please jump here. Third day started and Las Vegas woke up (or maybe more, never sleeps! 🙂 ! ) Organized every morning by AWS, a breakfast is served in a huge (really huge !) hall of one of the hotel. Logistic management is one of the strengths of Amazon, everything is very well marked, and…
For my day 1 recap, please jump here. For the second day of that conference, I decided first to attend the keynote of Adam Selipsky, CEO of Amazon Web Services. Lots of annoucements as always covering various area and services. For instance : AWS Lake Formation, new Row and cell-level security, transactions for governed tables, a AWS Private 5G service…

In the current global health situation, this event has a bit of a unexpected flavor as the previous edition was organized virtually. Having in-person such amazing event is very great ! (yes, we even tried to draw the dbi services logo on that chalkboard 😉 ) Across…
Quick recap : in the previous episode, we have seen how to move from a Kubernetes cluster powered by Docker into a future-proof Kubernetes cluster, using containerd. Now let’s move on and fully enjoy the power of having this CRI intermediate layer sitting below the kubelet. containerd and OCI runtimes containerd is a high level container runtime. It is CRI compliant,…
