CatOps Digest 2023-04-16
What was on CatOps in the last couple of weeks…
Charities
A reminder about my friends Pavlo and Naya who raise funds for drones and telecom equipment for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Some Original Content
There is a bunch of original content in this digest!
First of all, my article on the Types of the Technical Interviews that you can also read here on Substack.
Then, a new episode of the CatOps Voice Chat is out (in Ukrainian)! This one was super-interesting. We have talked about Terraform modules, Terragrunt, AWS Lambdas and more. It’s also available here on Substack but you can also “watch” it on YouTube as well as find it on the major podcast platforms.
And last by not least, I was a guest on Denys Vasyliev’s show “DeadOps”. We have talked about SRE roles, what stands behind this acronym and how one could become an SRE.

I wonder what would be the final stage of all these ChatGPT wrappers around dealing with Kubernetes. Something like “one-stop-shop make k8s solve my problem” or still a bunch of different custom tailored assistants?
