Speaking at Automation Guild 2024 - Enhancing Your Existing Testing Process with Some Security
I wanted to slightly turn up the cringe and have some fun in this promotional video for the Automation Guild 2024. Details below:
I'm excited to announce that I'll be speaking at the Automation Guild 2024. Mark your calendars for Februrary 5-9, 2024. You'll get to dive into the latest trends, innovative strategies, and real-world applications of E2E automation.
But that's not all - networking with global experts, sharing ideas, and making connections that last a lifetime are just some of the perks.
For this conference, I'll be presenting the topic of enhancing your existing testing process with some security.
Register now and join me at the Automation Guild 2024.

Thoughts on the new Google Cloud Platform ACE Lab format and overview
Переглядів 2358 місяців тому
I tried out the new Google Cloud Platform ACE (Associate Cloud Engineer) exam format and shared my initial thoughts on it. It's worth noting that it appears that Google is experimenting with this format and offers it on limited days per month (which I'm sure is subject to change). Associate Cloud Engineer information (look for the new lab format): cloud.google.com/certification/cloud-engineer I...

      it might have been a sentrysafe but this was a very old safe from 2012-2013ish (i've since trashed it after getting my documents) What matters is that it can be picked by some standard lockpicking tools. You should be able to use a tension wrench and a rake tool to at least get an idea of what reacts when you're attempting to pick it.

    Thanks for the video! I'm a new grad looking for Jr.SRE and yes honestly i barely see the Jr.SRE positions in Canada. I have a 1 year of experience of IT Technician and hold AWS/RHCSA cert, currently studying for Ansible automation. Do you recommend me to start from something different positions to gain exposure to IT industries? I definitely need a job if i can not find a Jr.SRE or Linux admin positions..but not sure what kind of positions i should apply for!

    • @randomthoughtstech
      @randomthoughtstech 4 місяці тому

      Congrats on the certs. Yeah, those should at least help if you're looking for a new role, but you should also create a few public projects on github e.g. terraform some instances that deploys a basic website Regarding positions, in this current climate, take what you can get in either operations, IT, or entry software development. From there, learn as much as you possibly can and get promoted or move around when you're ready.

    you didn't give any tips for the exam at all really, I was expecting like you'll get 60 questions and it's broken up by vault policies, tokens, auth etc ... also, you went through the trouble of making a repo for this deployment and used packer to setup vault and then you used Cloudformation? Ever heard of Terraform

    What's the pass mark for ACE lab renewal exam? Out of 5 labs, I was able to clear 4. Will I pass?

    • @randomthoughtstech
      @randomthoughtstech 7 місяців тому

      I can't give you a 100% answer on that but it's possible based on what Google mentions in their public preview docs, good luck: "How many labs do I need to successfully complete to pass the exam? The number of successful tasks needed to pass the exam depends on which lab tasks are administered. We create multiple versions of the lab exam, with different tasks assigned, and all versions are statistically balanced and equated to ensure everyone has a comparable experience. Factors like the difficulty of each lab task are used to determine the number of successful lab tasks needed to pass. What happens if I don’t pass? Can I retake the ACE Renewal Lab Exam? Eligible candidates are allowed one attempt of the ACE Renewal Lab Exam. This attempt will not count towards your permitted attempts to pass the written proctored exam"

      Thank you! There's a video floating around out there where I talked about platform engineering here: ua-cam.com/video/dgHMwi1n4JY/v-deo.html The TL;DR is that I think a lot of people are already doing platform engineering without realizing it e.g. developing around abstracting kubernetes further away from devs, IaC entire platforms, etc. It's not hugely different from the work seen in operations or SRE, a lot of it is internal tool building.
