Introduction In the modern landscape of DevOps, much attention is given to programming languages such as Python, Go, and Rust for creating tools and automating workflows. While these languages are incredibly powerful and versatile, the humble shell script, alongside traditional and modern command-line utilities, remains an invaluable tool for DevOps professionals. Bash (or Fish, Ksh, Zsh, etc) and CLI tools offer a simpler, more direct approach to solving many tasks without the overhead of complex software development.

DevOps: A (somewhat) Comprehensive Guide What is DevOps? DevOps is a set of practices, tools, and cultural philosophies that aim to bridge the gap between software development (Dev) and IT operations (Ops). It emphasizes collaboration and communication between these traditionally separate teams to enhance the speed and quality of software delivery. By integrating development, testing, and operations into a unified workflow, DevOps helps organizations deliver value to their customers more efficiently and reliably.

Mead, also known as “honey wine,” is one of the oldest fermented beverages known to humanity. Making mead at home can be a rewarding and creative hobby. This guide walks you through the basic steps, necessary equipment, and best practices to help you craft your own delicious mead. Getting Started: Basic Equipment Before diving into the mead-making process, you’ll need some essential equipment. Here’s a checklist for beginners: Primary Fermenter: A food-grade plastic bucket or glass carboy (6 gallons is common for a standard batch, though most people will start with a 1 gallon).

Hello and welcome to a space where technology and creativity ferment together into something extraordinary! This blog is my personal brew pub, blending two of my passions: DevOps: Expect posts on Infrastructure as Code (IaC), cloud computing, automation, coding best practices, and tips for navigating the ever-evolving tech landscape. Home Brewing: Dive into the art and science of crafting mead—a traditional honey wine. From recipes and techniques to experiments and tastings, I’ll be sharing my journey one batch at a time.

Inspired by Sun Tzu’s “The Art of War”, the Art of DevOps applies timeless wisdom to the challenges of modern software engineering and operations. It emphasizes strategy, adaptability, and collaboration to achieve operational excellence. 1. The Philosophy of DevOps “DevOps is a journey of harmony between Development and Operations. Its ultimate goal is continuous delivery of value.” Success comes not from tools alone but from fostering a culture of trust and collaboration.

History of Mead Mead, also known as honey wine, is considered one of the oldest fermented drinks in human history, dating as far back as 20,000-40,000 years. Some believe it originated in Africa, where early people may have accidentally fermented honey when bees built hives in hollowed-out trees and it rained. The honey and water would mix, become stagnant, and natural yeast would introduce itself, creating a basic alcohol or mead.
