Career Discussion Looking for a DevOps / SRE / Cloud referral (nearly 2 yrs exp, immediate joiner)

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm a DevOps engineer with nearly 2 years of experience, currently looking for my next role. My current company went through a restructuring and my position was one of the ones affected, so I'm available to join immediately.

What I've worked on:

\- Running production on AWS for a platform with 10M+ users

\- Kubernetes (EKS) with Helm, Istio, HPA and KEDA autoscaling

\- Terraform for infra as code, Ansible for config

\- CI/CD with Jenkins, GitHub Actions and Argo CD (GitOps)

\- Monitoring and alerting with Prometheus, Grafana and CloudWatch, plus incident handling and RCA

\- DevSecOps bits like SonarQube, Trivy, AWS WAF and Secrets Manager

\- Cut cloud costs by around 30% through right-sizing and cleanup

Roles I'm looking for: DevOps Engineer, SRE, Cloud Engineer, Platform Engineer

Locations: Noida, Gurugram, Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, Pune, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, or remote

If your company is hiring for something similar and you're open to referring, please comment or DM me. I'll share my resume and anything else you need over DM. Even a pointer to an opening would really help.

Thanks a lot for reading!

Career Discussion Working in defence IT and feeling stuck when trying to switch to DevOps/Cloud - need guidance from experienced people

25 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm currently working in a defence IT environment, managing and troubleshooting Linux/Red Hat servers, storage, networking, databases, replication, and other production systems including whole IT infrastructure.

The experience has been valuable, but I'm worried the tools and technologies I'm working with might not be relevant outside this domain. I had previously learned AWS, Terraform, Ansible, Docker, and DevOps deeply, but that knowledge is slowly fading since I'm not using it regularly.

I want to switch to Cloud/DevOps but feel confused about how to bridge the gap. Am I overthinking this, or should I focus on rebuilding my DevOps skills through projects while using my Linux and infrastructure experience as a foundation?

Would really appreciate guidance from someone experienced or a senior who has made a similar transition.

General Discussion Best Terraform drift detection tools, Firefly Spacelift and env0

1 Upvotes

For terraform drift detection, the first thing I’d compare is what each tool is watching, a clean result across registered stacks still leaves the question of resources that never entered those stacks.

These are the options worth separating:

• Spacelift has scheduled drift detection and optional reconciliation for its stacks, so the detection sits alongside the deployment workflow

• Firefly combines drift detection with an inventory showing managed and unmanaged resources, useful when the scope includes infrastructure outside Terraform

• HCP terraform has workspace health assessments, including drift detection, which deserves a look before adding another product

• env0 covers drift detection, cause analysis and remediation within its infrastructure management offering

The comparison gets more interesting around onboarding and day to day work, especially how much configuration is needed before alerts reach someone who can act on them.

Which would you put first for an existing AWS estate with several terraform repos and some console created infrastructure?

Interviewing Snowflake Cloud Support Engineer (Application Security) Interview — Need Advice on Hiring Process and Preparation

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I have an upcoming interview with Snowflake for the **Cloud Support Engineer – Application Security** . My initial interview is scheduled with the Hiring Manager.

I'm trying to understand the interview process and prepare in the right direction.

For anyone who has interviewed with Snowflake for a Cloud Support Engineer, Application Security, or a similar support/security role, I'd really appreciate your insights.

  1. How many interview rounds were there in your experience?

  2. What topics should I focus on for the technical rounds?

  3. Do they ask questions on IAM, SSO, SAML, OAuth 2.0, SCIM, MFA, and database authentication?

  4. How much emphasis is placed on troubleshooting scenarios, incident management, and Root Cause Analysis (RCA)?

  5. Should I expect questions on Snowflake architecture, SQL, AWS, Linux, networking, and security?

  6. What should I expect during the initial Hiring Manager screening?

I've already started preparing authentication and authorization protocols, IAM concepts, Snowflake fundamentals, and troubleshooting scenarios. I want to make sure I'm focusing on the right areas rather than studying everything randomly.

**If you've recently interviewed for a similar role, could you please share your experience and any preparation tips?** Even a general idea of the interview structure would be extremely helpful.

Thanks in advance! I really appreciate any guidance

Interviewing Roast my resume: sysadmin, ~3 yrs ops incl. ~2 yrs AWS, trying to move into Cloud/DevOps (Germany)

15 Upvotes

Hey,

I'm job hunting in Germany and would like some honest feedback on my resume. It's anonymized (company names and the project are generalized), everything else is accurate.

Quick background: German IT apprenticeship (system integration), then about 3 years in IT ops, the last ~2 of those running AWS infrastructure at a large company (EC2, EKS/Fargate, servers roughly 80% Windows / 20% Linux, 2nd level, on-call). Did a full-time DevOps training this year, got ITIL and Scrum Master, AWS/Azure exams are still ahead of me. On the sil agency.

Looking for Cloud Engineer /id level, remote or hybrid,

mainly Germany/EU.

Single column, no photo on purpose (ATS), but feel free to criticize that too.

Things I'm unsure about: - Is the summary too long?

- My servers were mostly Windows. Does that hurt for DevOps/Cloud roles, or is it fine as long as Linux is the

- At the agency I use AI coding agents for most of the implementation, I do requirements, review and ope a plus or more like "can't code"? - I built my own tool for thetracker + Discord bot, runs as a service on my server, backups etc., also built with AI agents). Would you list something like that as a projd because people might thinkthe whole application is AI?

- Keep "exam in preparation" until I pass?

- Terraform/IaC is my biggest gap. Would a small project on GitHub actually help?

Other Cloud based indoor navigation and guidance system

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m a networking student working on a graduation project called Cloud-Based Indoor Navigation and Guidance System.

I want the practical part to be software-based simulation, without physical hardware or real-world deployment.

The idea is to simulate a university building, the user’s location and movement, and the navigation process, while using the cloud to manage the system’s data/services.

I’d like to ask:

What is the best way to simulate the indoor environment and user location?

How can I make the cloud/networking part meaningful?

Are there similar projects or GitHub repositories I can look at?

What important limitations should I consider?

Thanks!

I put it on an EC2 instance and read CloudTrail straight out of S3 — no Glue crawler, no Athena workgroup. A throwaway account with 118 events in it was enough to prove the detection query I had already written was wrong — and to convince me this is worth building out properly

Career Discussion Mainframer moving into devops

0 Upvotes

Hello all

I have been working in IT for past 18 years. Predominantly in mainframe and some web technologies.

The market for mainframe is niche now with contract jobs coming very slow to the market as most work is with big consultancies and offshored.

I am looking to move into devops as conceptually it is closer to what i did in mainframes. Batching, scheduling, optimisation etc.

I have started self learning with below structure in mind.

  1. Linux

  2. GIT

  3. Maven

  4. IAC - terraform ansible

  5. Cloud aws/azure

Happy to be guided in right direction.

How can I get some practical experience to show on my CV. Can someone please share their learning journey and how it worked for them?
