Why I didn't like Azure!
~8 months ago I spent couple of months trying to deal with Azure. Recently I've been asked about Azure a couple of times and tried to put together why I feel like Azure is not suitable for using as part of automation I used to work on.
Be warned that most things written here are my personal thoughts and already quite old.I got several . . .
New in OpenShift! Beware the wrong versions and documentation!
Here is how to avoid some traps when starting with OpenShift, or "OpenShift for Kubernetes users".
TL;DR
- Always use the correct OpenShift documentation (3.4 is currently the latest released version) and you can also refer to Kubernetes documentation but Kubernetes documentation is not versioned,

Ireland DevOps CV writing 101
My take on how a CV should look in Ireland if you are a DevOps with some experience. (May also be applicable to Developers.)
I moved to Dublin from Turkey, and after than I had chance to refer some friends to companies I worked, or helped some people want to move into countries in Europe by finding an IT job. This is mostly relevant for guys with some experience.

A reference Mesos cluster setup - 3, OpenVPN
Running OpenVPN with auto-failover
I've been using SSH tunnels to reach my cluster from remote, but I needed a more proper solution for this. Using OpenVPN could also give me DNS configuration for free and I can be able to use *.mesos domains from my laptop.
Initially, I set up OpenVPN manually on a host but it didn't get too long to lose that node and hence . . .

A reference Mesos cluster setup - 1, planning
Setting goals, planning and preparation of idea ...
After having my own bare-metal cluster at home, I will try to build a sample system just for fun with overall goals:

* prevent any kind of vendor-lock-in,
* make any part of system HA (dc-wide only),
* zero touch ops, allow system to . . .
Home cluster setup
Start of playing with "home-cooked" cluster...
Recently, as a hobby project, I was looking for playing with some recently popular tools like mesos, kubernetes, docker-swarm and many other related. After playing around some tests clusters on Digital Ocean and AWS and spending dozens of dollars each month, I realized that I need some constantly running boxes to see how do these brand new . . .
