Folks,

I am glad to share this;

My students have started attending calls with top notch companies.

And getting offers, without a single word or sentence faking in their resume.

Just they mentioned my coaching details and the POCs what they have presented, in their resume.

They are getting above 60% hikes as initial offer. The hiring managers are offering them second hike also after few months of their performance.

Infact, In every interview the Technical panel is honoring them and their Internship very well. This is the market response for my coaching/mentoring.

This is a great news for them and their hard work. I would like to share.

What is my Internship Programme ?

See the below blog for more details.

https://vskumar.blog/2020/10/26/aws-devops-part-time-internships-for-it-professionals-interviews/

What is a cloud screen operation and what is an activity in cloud infra ?

Folks,

There are crores of people have been attending online/offline training on Cloud and DevOps globally.

But Do we know what is a screen operation ?

What is a project activity ?

What is the difference between these ?

In this below blog; I have given some elaboration on them to know the real differences. This can help the people who say they are experts on AWS Screen operations.

If they have experienced the interviews this can give clarity why the interviewers asked them some job oriented tasks related questions, but not the screen operations.

Now, Let us take AWS.

You want to create a VM which is EC2 service. You need to understand its screen operations to launch the default VM. Yes you know very well through numerous trainings you attended.

But when I come to my second question;

What is the use of this EC2 machine ?

What for I need to use ?

Where can I use in my infrastructure building activity ?

How to connect in  a network ?

How to share that machine access to different developers ?

If we have a 3-tier application how to build in  a cloud ?

How can I do internal networking ?

How can I do external networking from my account to other accounts ?

What are the best practices I can use to build the cost effective infrastructure ?

Finally, how to automate this

Offcourse, these are live activities on need to answer in an interview and perform those for right delivery.

But my next question is how to learn these gaps and move forward into the job roles ?

You need to learn the Infra domain knowledge. And build some kind of proof of concept [POC] projects through experienced mentors.

In this video the traditional IT roles are discussed along with their tasks. And how these roles are transformed into a Cloud Engineer to handle by single person who has extensive infra domain and Cloud services knowledge to build the various setup. Watch the below discussion video with an experienced IT professional:

https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=441945976791243&t=0

This video has the Traditional Infrastructure building analysis. How to setup a new Infrastructure for an E-commerce in Traditional manner ? What are the Activities we might do ? When we plan for the same Infra building in a Cloud setup what are the high level activities ?:

=======================================================>

Folks,

Are you a Cloud/DevOps professional looking to stay ahead of the curve and maximize your ROI?

If so, you may want to consider a coaching program that can help you develop the necessary skills and expertise to excel in this field.

While watching training videos and completing online courses can be useful for gaining a basic understanding of Cloud infrastructure and DevOps processes, they often fall short when it comes to practical, real-world scenarios. To truly master these concepts, you need to work on actual projects and perform end-to-end tasks with guidance from an experienced coach.

In many Cloud/DevOps projects, you will be expected to develop and demonstrate your Infrastructure as Code (IAC) skills in review calls without the presence of a mentor. Regular evaluations and appraisals are also common, with non-performing profiles often let go to save project costs. With so much at stake, it’s essential to find a coaching program that can provide the support and guidance you need to succeed.

The following rules can help you choose the right coaching program:

1. Look for a program that offers practical, hands-on experience in Cloud infrastructure and DevOps processes.
2. Choose a program that provides end-to-end coaching and mentoring, covering all aspects of the project role.
3. Verify the credibility of the coaching program and coach by checking their profiles on LinkedIn.

By following these rules, you can find a coaching program that can help you develop the skills and expertise you need to excel in the Cloud/DevOps field. Make sure to stay up-to-date on new additions and updates by revisiting the blog regularly and checking the provided links.

In conclusion, investing in a coaching program is a smart move for any Cloud/DevOps professional looking to maximize their ROI and stay ahead of the competition. With the right coaching, you can gain the practical skills and knowledge necessary to excel in this exciting and rapidly growing field.

AWS VPC S3-End Point: Trouble shoot for defects also

Folks,

User requirement: The development team needs the S3 Access in private Linux EC2s. They need a separate VPC with S3 End point setup. IAM role need to be given to the developers to access S3 files from EC2 through AWS CLI.

Doing the typical VPC-S3 End point is a normal way. But we tried a different way. We documented the Infra design steps. By following them, we breaked those design steps and demonstrated how the defects can be created at different levels.

So one can learn how the defects can be flown around, in this steps journey. So that the live issues can be understood easily.

Please note; one more thing. The demo participant is from NON-IT, She learnt a lot during this course with weekly 20+ hours dedication. And once the manual infra demo is given, in few days she will come up with IAC scripts demo for the same setup. During the coaching I filter NON-IT People also for their dedication/hard work and prove and learn attitude to utilize my coaching well. Definitely such people are very valid resources for IT organizations. As long as the management understand these people capability, they are not the competitors and no need of doing fake in profiles. There are so many NON-IT dedicated and honest people ready to convince on the interviews comparing to the proxy guys.

You can watch the demo from the below video:

Some more videos from the same participant can be seen below:

In this blog, I am trying to add the RDS related theory and POCs. You can revisit this blog for future POCs also.

https://www.facebook.com/vskumarcloud/videos/831779460496153/

To avail this coaching:

A) you should be certified and has been working on AWS solutions atleast for 2 years.

B) You should have PM experience also.

Note: You might have achieved number of AWS certifications. But with that knowledge, globally many people are not able to perform the Cloud Architect roles with the customers due to lack of infra knowledge/process/methodology. And within 3 months they are being served pink slips. So, you need to look around what you need to learn further in this competency acceleration world to become strong Cloud Architect. Remember; nobody can guide you in your job to sustain there during its execution. You need to look for alternate plans to upgrade the knowledge by special coaching. Then only you can quote for higher billing as an independent Cloud Architect solutions consultant. Hope this gives clarity for your strategic planning.

Step 3: Configuring the Systems Manager Agent

After installing the Systems Manager Agent, the next step is to configure it. You can configure the agent using the AWS Management Console or the AWS CLI.

To configure the Systems Manager Agent using the AWS Management Console, follow these steps:

1. Open the AWS Management Console and go to the EC2 service.
2. Select the EC2 instance that you want to configure the agent on.
3. Click the Actions button and select the Instance Settings option.
4. Click the Configure CloudWatch Agent option.
5. Follow the instructions to configure the agent.

To configure the Systems Manager Agent using the AWS CLI, follow these steps:

1. Open the terminal or command prompt.
2. Run the following command to create a configuration file for the agent:

sudo nano /opt/aws/amazon-cloudwatch-agent/bin/config.json

3. Copy and paste the following configuration code into the file:

{
“agent”: {
“metrics_collection_interval”: 60,
“run_as_user”: “cwagent”
},
“metrics”: {
“append_dimensions”: {
“AutoScalingGroupName”: “${aws:AutoScalingGroupName}”,
“InstanceId”: “${aws:InstanceId}”,
“InstanceType”: “${aws:InstanceType}”
},
“metrics_collected”: {
“mem”: {
“measurement”: [
“mem_used_percent”
],
“metrics_collection_interval”: 60,
“resources”: [
“*”
]
},
“swap”: {
“measurement”: [
“swap_used_percent”
],
“metrics_collection_interval”: 60,
“resources”: [
“*”
]
}
}
}
}

4. Save and close the file.
5. Run

DevOps or Cloud Which is priority in IT?

When we see the current IT industry technology migration, there are 2 common topics:

• Cloud conversion
• DevOps practices/implementation

When we check for priority, which one is top most ?

Let us consider the scenarios;

1. If the IT systems are running still on traditional infrastructure, then Cloud is priority to save cost.
2. If some of the IT systems are running in Cloud and need to continue Cloud conversion completely, yes then also Cloud conversion is priority rather than DevOps implementation.
3. If the DevOps is implemented with traditional systems and not converted into cloud yet, yes Cloud is the priority then DevOps automation need to be implemented using the Cloud services.
4. If the DevOps is an ongoing process along with Cloud means; They need to implement both of them in parallel, by taking each Sprint cycle for Cloud conversion and within this cycle the devops can be executed for the future cycles.

Hence if you consider any combination which is connected to Cloud The IT Management most prioritized responsibility is to save the Infra cost which is a direct savings. Hence they are forced to give priority for Cloud in the coming years.

• Hence if one learns the Cloud technology it can stand years together.
• Even DevOps also stands in the Industry.

Note:

• If somebody says I want to live in a city, without a house [either by rent or own] you can not live there right ?
• The same way without having the Infrastructure you can not run the show of IT systems.
• You can not bear the costly house also right [the traditional infra]?
• The Cloud migration is; like you need to move to a new house, when you migrate into cloud with the current IT systems.
• Then later on the SDLC/Delvery processes [DevOps] tuning can happen.

When we adopt Cloud; what are the major advantages ?
How Human/Machine resources cost can be reduced by implementing Cloud in an IT company ?
How Agility/Speed can be used by implementing Cloud Infra ?
How Economics can be applied with Cloud ?
How the IT company can focus only on business [not on Infra worries]?

What are the main activities you need to do before planning for cloud conversion?

Obviously, rather than thinking on the screen operations of a Cloud services products we need to understand your current network architecture.
Your network architecture is like software product.
Think, this product you are migrating to Cloud. Then you need to drill down each of the Network domains. Understand the public/private subnets how they were configured? How the IPs were used ?
Then you need to understand the cloud services vendor [which you want to use to migrate into it] products to map to your network components.
Then you need to compare with the cloud services components.
