Have you ever played with LEGO blocks? If not, you still might know what they are. Those colorful, versatile bricks that let your imagination run wild? Sure, you have! We all love to build castles, robots, or spacecraft with them, right? Now, what if I told you there’s something quite similar in the world of computers, and it’s called Docker! Hold up! You might be thinking, “What does Docker have to do with my LEGO blocks? https://rishabkumar.com/blog/docker-cheat-sheet/ Tue, 30 May 2023 14:45:23 +0000 https://rishabkumar.com/blog/docker-cheat-sheet/ Last year, I started learning more about containerization, which meant gaining some skills with Docker, an open-source project for automating the deployment of applications as portable, self-sufficient containers. If you use Docker, you are well aware of how effective it can be in streamlining and improving development procedures. However, the numerous commands and Dockerfile instructions can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially if you’re new to the platform. That’s why I’ve put together this Docker cheat sheet to help you keep track of the most common commands. https://rishabkumar.com/blog/how-i-passed-aws-devops-engineer-professional-exam/ Mon, 15 May 2023 19:14:30 +0000 https://rishabkumar.com/blog/how-i-passed-aws-devops-engineer-professional-exam/ Introduction In this blog post, I’ll share my experience taking the AWS DevOps Pro Exam, how I prepared for it, well I guess not prepared for it, and some recommendations for resources to help you pass the exam. Preparation Like the Azure DevOps Expert Exam (AZ-400), I didn’t have any specific preparation for the AWS DevOps PRO Exam either. I had a coupon expiring and the exam version was retiring, so I decided to wing it. https://rishabkumar.com/blog/how-i-passed-azure-az-400-devops-engineer-exam/ Mon, 08 May 2023 19:01:14 +0000 https://rishabkumar.com/blog/how-i-passed-azure-az-400-devops-engineer-exam/ I recently passed the Microsoft Azure AZ-400 DevOps Engineer Expert exam without any preparation, which is designed to test your knowledge and skills in DevOps practices: continuous integration and deployment, infrastructure as code, and monitoring and logging. In this blog post, I want to share my experience of taking the exam without much preparation and how I managed to pass it.

If you’re like me, a developer who has used Terraform for your IaC needs in the past, Pulumi offers an alternative that allows you to write code in your preferred programming language (TypeScript/JavaScript, Python, Go, .NET, and Java) to provision and manage cloud infrastructure. In this blog post, we will walk through the steps to deploy a static website to Amazon Web Services (AWS) using Pulumi, ps: this is my first time trying it out. https://rishabkumar.com/blog/devops-roadmap-2023/ Fri, 03 Feb 2023 02:49:53 +0000 https://rishabkumar.com/blog/devops-roadmap-2023/ DevOps is a rapidly growing field, and with the increasing demand for skilled professionals, many people are looking to make the switch. However, knowing where to begin and what steps to take to become a DevOps Engineer can be difficult. In this article, I will provide a comprehensive roadmap for those looking to make the transition.

It’s been a few month since I last published an article. I was busy with getting more YouTube videos out. And did I mention I was on the Microsoft Reactor Session with Gwyneth Pena on Deploy a Containerized App with Azure App Service. Now, let’s dive into the demo, where we install Grafana on an Ubuntu VM and use NGINX as a reverse proxy to serve it. https://rishabkumar.com/blog/what-is-immutable-infrastructure/ Sun, 02 Aug 2020 20:44:34 +0000 https://rishabkumar.com/blog/what-is-immutable-infrastructure/ As Cloud is getting more popular, so is the immutable infrastructure and historically we have been using the mutable infrastructure. But hey, what is Mutable or Immutable? According to Cambridge Dictionary: Mutable: able or likely to change Immutable: not changing, or unable to be changed What is Mutable Infrastructure? Now, in terms of Infrastructure, Mutable implies that the infrastructure will be persistently refreshed, changed, and tuned to meet the progressing needs of the reason it serves.
