10. Thoughts on the LPI DevOps Tools Exam

    I recently passed the LPI (Linux Professional Institute) DevOps Tools certification exam.

    It wasn't actually my first time with the exam - I took it a few days after it was first released just to see what it is like. I didn't pass, but I came close, so I made a …

11. On Stats

    Just found a nice little site called [Qloudstats](https://qloudstat.com) that parses through S3 stats. For about a small costs (in Euros), it'll pull S3 logs from your AWS account and generate some nice stats:

    

    (no, those are not my stats. I just don't have anything worth posting yet …

12. On DNS

    I goofed. In a hurry to transfer my [domain](http://blog.monzell.com) from Google Domains to [AWS](https://aws.monzell.com), I immediately decided to configure my name servers. Now, for reasons that I don't recall why, I decided to use the name servers from another zone file instead …

13. On Blogs

    My first blog was on tumblr and like all the other blogs on that site, it was needlessly open and somewhat angsty, in retrospect, so I had to shut it down. Since then, I started other blogs there and here, and after a small while, I stopped writing.

    The point …

14. Back to Black

    I am back to using Puppet with my home lab, after just about a year running SaltStack.

    I enjoyed using Saltstack, with its light-weight orchestration and fairly simple syntax. However, I am planning to get my RHCA by the end of next year, and one of the exams I am …

15. It's bold strategy, Cotton. Let see if it pays off

    A month ago, I took the RHCE exam, fairly confident I will pass after spending hours studying and practicing.

    It did not happen. I was not even able to complete the exam on time. I was hoping when I came home that I somehow squeaked though, but then came the …

16. Hold your nose and close your eyes

    Aggregating interfaces can be a pain, but it doesn't have to be. With Red Hat 7 and above, you can team your interfaces with very little effort. Frankly, it is pretty awesome.

    There is one catch, though. You will have to learn to use Network Manager.Specifically, nmcli.

    Much can …

17. I should put something here

    Some days, keeping up with technology can be a mix of frustration and excitement.

    I am currently working on getting back my RHCE (Red Hat Certified Engineer) credentials (I had it before, but for reasons I wont get to, it expired). From there, I will be able to avail myself …

18. Oh, I hate Pollen

    Its end of April and the pollen season is in fully bloom here in Chicago. I am on the edge of scratching my eyes out.

    It could be worse. I could be living in Atlanta, where everything turns yellow.

    Anyway, in my learnings with OpenStack, I was about to go …
