Ask HN: DevOps Tutor?

1 point35mm5 comments

My side project seems to be building traction, and it’s relying on scaling up some quite resource intensive processes in Kubernetes clusters.

It would be really useful to have an experienced dev-ops ‘tutor’ to ask questions to for say an hour or two a week.

How would I go about finding someone like that?

Ping me, email in profile. I might be interested, sounds like the same problems I've helped others with before

you might look at the monthly "hiring" threads.

what kind of problems are you facing, though ?

Ok thanks.

At the moment: - I'm running new jobs manually by writing "deploy.yaml" files each time, and trying to figure out how to do this via API

- I think I'm probably over-provisioning VMs when I could be more efficient with resources. Looking at Google Cloud Autopilot but not sure if this is right.

- Sometimes with autoscaling on Digitalocean, nodes keep running after jobs are completed, and I have to manually check and kill them.

You should look at Heroku until your scale is such that you can afford a qualified SRE.

Thanks for the tip - I looked into it but it looks to be around 2-4x more expensive than what I'm using right now (DigitalOcean).
