If you’re running workloads on GKE Autopilot and see your Ingress resources stuck on UNHEALTHY, you’re not alone. This problem can be frustrating, especially when your pods and services appear to be healthy, but your Google Cloud Load Balancer refuses to send traffic...
Why This Article? Most tutorials show the happy path – but in reality, getting a Kubernetes service exposed to the internet via a subdomain with SSL (e.g. with Google Managed Certificates on GKE) can be a headache if you miss the right sequence or make changes too...
Running workloads on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) is powerful, scalable—and, if you’re not careful, potentially expensive. Whether you’re using GKE Standard (where you manage the nodes) or GKE Autopilot (where Google manages the infrastructure for you), there are...
Overview If you’re working in infrastructure operations or DevOps leadership and manage Linux-based systems, you’ve likely encountered the challenge of configuration drift, manual patching, or inconsistent environments. These problems scale poorly — and...
Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) is a powerful platform to run containerized applications in the cloud. But when you spin up a cluster in GKE, you’re faced with an important choice: GKE Standard or GKE Autopilot? If you’re unsure which one to choose, this article will...
1. What’s This All About? If you’re working in DevOps, cloud infrastructure, or automation, one of the first big ideas you’ll run into is Infrastructure as Code (IaC). In plain English, IaC means: “You manage and provision your infrastructure using code – not by...
Whether you’re building a web app, experimenting with Flask or Django, or managing small projects locally – PostgreSQL is a rock-solid, open-source database system that fits perfectly. Here’s your beginner-to-intermediate guide, tailored for local macOS setups....
Running a homelab in the cloud isn’t just a fun side project — it’s a serious hands-on way to sharpen skills in infrastructure, automation, and DevOps workflows. But it also comes with real costs, especially when you’re self-funding everything. I recently managed to...
