Mykola, a member of the KubeCraft Career Accelerator, landed his first SRE job at a huge company wanted to share exactly how it happened. “For over a year, I went through 20 DevOps interviews. Each one went well, but the feedback was clear: not enough real Kubernetes experience. So I decided to fix that gap. I built a home lab on my old laptop and kept experimenting. I learned how traffic flows from the client to the pod. I could explain the whole path of a pod from apply to container running. I read Terraform Up and Running and went deep on the basics. And I kept talking about this hands-on experience in every interview. Eventually, a recruiter reached out. The interview turned into a real technical conversation, not just theory. They asked about Kubernetes networking. They asked about Terraform use cases. They wanted to see how I would solve problems. In the end, curiosity and practical skill made me stand out. Twenty minutes after the final round, I got the offer.” 🔥 This is exactly why the KubeCraft Career Accelerator exists. When you stay consistent, learn by doing, and get guidance from people who have done it, you build confidence and stories that make you stand out in interviews. You can watch the full story here in this post. If you are serious about moving from theory to real-world DevOps and Kubernetes skills, you are already in the right place. Keep asking questions. Keep practicing. Keep learning by doing. And when you are ready for more structure, real feedback, and the same kind of support that helped Mykola get his first SRE role, you will find it in the KubeCraft Career Accelerator. What is one thing you will practice to move closer to that next step in your career? 👇 Share it in the comments. We will help you make it real together.

Please find attached an image that outlines all the current resources deployed within the kube-system namespace. I’d appreciate your confirmation on whether these components are sufficient for supporting production workloads at this stage. My deployment approach follows a focused, phased strategy—tackling one critical domain each day. With the kube-system layer nearly complete, my next step is to transition into the security namespace. There, I plan to deploy essential security tools such as Falco, Authelia, and Wazuh to harden the cluster. Following security, I’ll continue with dedicated days for storage, observability, and other key aspects of the infrastructure. I remain deeply grateful for your support throughout this process. With your guidance, I’m confident this cluster will be production-ready soon.

Hi!! DevOps & Cloud People, I am experience copy & paste issue in VMware Workstation 17.6.3. The VM is Ubuntu Server 20.04 termina only. I have solutions from different sources. Examples: 1. I have tried removed & reinstalled "open-vm-tools" & "open-vm-tools desktop". 2. I also tried disabling the GUI option in VMware for copy & paste, drag & drop. Then, restart the laptop and then enabling the options in GUI. Kindly anyone can solve this problem. So, I don't have to type in all the work. Thanks

I did it… smashed my KCNA exam !!

Since transitioning to DevOps, I know there are gaps in my current skillset vs what I learned with test automation. Some of those areas are Cloud Architecture, Scalability, and Storage. How should you scale a given application to handle load based on traffic? What type of Load Balancer should we use, ALB or NLB? Should we use relational databases or NoSQL database for storing certain types of data? These are some of the questions I want to know and it very highly dependent on your applications as well as infrastrucuture. Came across this book: Designing Data-Intensive Applications: The Big Ideas Behind Reliable, Scalable, and Maintainable Systems: https://lnkd.in/gkQm5uEP to hopefully fill in some of those gaps while am getting my feet wet with projects at work and on my own time. Has anyone read this book or similar ones?
