It not only enables you to define your infrastructure in a declarative manner but also facilitates handling changes through the same development workflow utilized for software: encompassing version control, code review, testing, and employing CI/CD pipelines for deployment. When facing the challenge of managing multiple environments, I started digging into Terraform features to implement a solution that would have met all of my requirements.https://nyxgear.com/preparing-the-ckad-resources-and-tips/Sun, 27 Nov 2022 19:20:14 +0000https://nyxgear.com/preparing-the-ckad-resources-and-tips/Resources I used The Linux Foundation courses also in the past when I studied for the CKA. They are good courses to be used The course is structured in sections covering the major topics of the certification program. Moreover, at the end of each section you have a “knowledge check” chapter containing a few questions that turn out useful to let yourself understand if you got correctly the concepts.

In this article we will see how to configure AKS to support an ingress controller, create and ingress, and also how to create a few other resources to simulate a common deployment configuration for a microservice architecture. Configure the AKS resource in Terraform To be able to route the traffic towards a cluster on Azure an Application Gateway Ingress Controller (AGIC) is created to provide multiple Kubernetes services.https://nyxgear.com/hugo-github-actions-netlify/Fri, 03 Jun 2022 00:00:00 +0000https://nyxgear.com/hugo-github-actions-netlify/2023-03-02 updates I’ve changed the theme, now I use Ghostwriter. I’ve been thinking about creating a blog using Hugo for a while. Hugo is a powerful static site generator that allows you to convert a bunch of Markdown files into a nice static website. I wanted to use Hugo because of its extensibility, large community, and the simplicity with which it allows you to write new posts with the approach WYSIWYM.https://nyxgear.com/git-course/Wed, 15 Sep 2021 00:00:00 +0000https://nyxgear.com/git-course/The course you find below is a collection of slides and exercises I’ve created for a Git course I’ve once taught.
