Ask HN: What are your favorite DevOps tools?
I am interested in careers software industry after a few years in a computational genetics PhD program. DevOps seems like a good fit because of my experience with a "Dockerized" distributed computing platform but I don't know where to start.
- naim08 9y agoDockers are probably my fav. Containers make it really easy to share projects
- bsears 9y agoI'll just list a few tools I use on a daily basis Kubernetes - Great platform for orchestrating containers, made my life a ton easier (Learn Docker and containers first) Jenkins - Very powerful automation platform, great for setting up CI/CD pipelines AWS - Good to get your feet wet in the public cloud space Chef - Configuration management and infrastructure automation tool, you define how you want your workloads to look and it delivers Terraform - Infrastructure as code, where Chef defines the configuration of an existing machine, terraform defines how that machine should be provisioned In terms of core concepts, read up on CI/CD, Agile, and SDDC architecture.
- rpseq 9y agoThanks! I am comfortable using Docker so I'll try to come up with a Kubernetes + AWS project.
- burdzwastaken 9y agoAWS has an offering coming soon called EKS[0] however if you want to deploy a Kubernetes cluster to AWS sooner I would use kops[1]. however to under Kubernetes and to develop/deploy locally I would first try minikube[2] and get comfortable there before deploying into a cloud.
