Need to automate a VM? you need Ansible!
Published directly from my personal knowledge base.
ArgoCD
Django
My preferred framework for building web apps
GitLab
My preferred git server and CI/CD system, either gitlab.com or self-hosted.
Helm
A good way to pull in external dependencies into Kubernetes For writing my own manifests I prefer to use Kustomize.
Hugo
My static site generator of choice, used to build my blog among other things.
JQ
A incredibly powerful tool for manipulating the heaps of JSON files and responses I interact with daily.
A lot of times I also use ijq1 instead, which is a interactive version of jq.
Kubernetes
I have run and am still running loads of Kubernetes clusters, mostly on-premise.
Kustomize
My prefered tool for writing and provisioning home-built manifests to [[kubernetes]]
MacOS
My operating system of choice on the client, usually on a MacBook Pro.
PowerShell
PowerShell holds a special place in my heart as it was the first ever tool I dived into deeply and used to automate my daily work.
To this day it runs a bunch of fundamental automations in my life.
Python
These days Python is my language of choice for both simple scripts and more complex backend applications, usually in combination with django
vCenter Cert Bundle
Errors connecting to vCenter or any ESXi server in the cluster without certificate errors?
- Get CA cert from the vCenter:
wget https://{{ YOUR VCENTER }}/certs/download.zip --no-check-certificate - Install where required
