Thirst to solve As an SRE we deal with multiple components and are a bridge between the users and the application. Even though the application is well written, a bigger responsibility falls upon SRE to keep the applications and the services it uses up and running. In this process, there might be a few situations where one of the SRE does a mistake that causes a disruption or even an outage. When this happens, the first thing to happen shouldn't be to blame anyone for the outage, but the following has to be performed. i. Fix the issue ii. Write an RCA ( Root Cause Analysis ) that mentions why the issue occurred in the first place, the names can be anonymous. iii. Mention the first aid and the fix for the issue iv. Discuss how the issue can be prevented the next time v. Set an ETA for the fix Another aspect is to have the right mindset to solve problems. As an SRE you have the responsibility to optimize the infrastructure, fix issues, build automation tools, monitoring tools, and more, which requires a lot of problem-solving skills. Unless you have the thirst to solve the problems, you will only feel more stressed out, or even worse, would cause issues. 2. Communication a. Overcommunication is not a problem b. Be kind and show empathy Are you performing a production activity or even a stage change that could affect other teams? Have you made progress in the project that you are working on? Make sure to keep the necessary stakeholders in sync always. Write emails, send slack messages well in advance before the production activity, just before and after the activity. It might sound like over-communication, but trust me, as the company scales, you need to keep everyone relevant to the component that you are working on in sync. This way, if they have to take any actions from their side, they will do it, or if they face any issues post-activity they'll know who the right person to get in touch with is. One other important characteristic to have as a human being is to be kind and show empathy. This will apply to all levels of engineering on either side of the conversation, period. Whether someone asks a silly question, or does a mistake, or behaves rudely with you, you should never mirror that behavior. 3. Stay synced with the team a. Do not miss team meetings b. Prevent duplication of work c. Do not compete, but contribute In this work from home ( WFH ) period, the only time where you have an opportunity to speak to your teammates is during a team meet. The reason why this is special is, you get an opportunity to stay synced with your team on what they all are working on, whether they are blocked on any tasks, how you can contribute to their tasks and also you will be using this opportunity to convey on what you are working on and get help if necessary. This also prevents duplication of work. 4. Shadow teammates on tasks and issues The best way to learn is by doing it hands-on and the best way to begin would be by watching how it is done. I also believe that the best way to retain the learned information is by performing it repeatedly. This also includes watching your teammates perform the activities. It ensures that the activity is done without any mistakes when there are several eyes to watch it. 5. No Spoon-feeding, do homework Do not expect all details to be taught by your teammates and seniors. Read the documentation, watch tutorials, read engineering blogs, practice on your own, and suggest improvisations. Even a well-built system will have much more efficient solutions, that you can propose

Site reliability engineering Site Reliability Engineering, also popularly referred to as the SRE, is a role in Computer Science Engineering where the main purpose is to provision, maintain, monitor, and manage the infrastructure in order to provide maximum application uptime and reliability. SRE is an emerging role, but the tasks that the SRE does were always there ever since the first application that was developed. The scope of the software developers ends where they write code to develop the application and right from setting up the infrastructure, the various services that run on them, the network connectivity that is required, providing a platform for the application to run and making sure every part of the application is up and running reliably 24x7 is the duty of an SRE. In fact, we can consider Site Reliability Engineers are the strong bridge between the users and a reliable application. Now, in order to explain the different responsibilities of an SRE, I have divided it into 4 different categories. I have always seen SRE this way, and definitely not as some ad-hoc process. The four categories in which I would classify the tasks of a Site Reliability Engineer are: Create Monitor Manage Destroy Let's dive deep into each one of them. Create 1. Provision virtual machines / PXE Baremetals SREs are responsible for provisioning the virtual machines with the requested resources in terms of CPU, memory, disks, network configurations, and operating system. They are also responsible to be rack aware during provisioning. Example operating systems involve Linux Ubuntu, CentOS, Windows. 2. Setup services Example technologies involve NGINX, Apache, RabbitMQ, Kafka, Hadoop, Traefik, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Aerospike, MongoDB, Redis, MinIO, Kubernetes, Apache Mesos, Marathon, MariaDB, Galera. 3. Optimize the infrastructure Since there are several components and services that are being used in the infrastructure, there is a scope for improvements in terms of performance, efficiency, and security. The SRE optimizes the components by keeping them up to date, choosing the right service for the right job, patching the servers. 4. Write monitoring scripts When the SRE are involved in maintaining an infrastructure of any size, they never underestimate any component of the infrastructure and write a monitoring script to monitor the components and metrics of each and every one of them. This provides the ability to get real-time alerts on any of the components malfunctioning and also a better view of the infrastructure. The SRE uses programming languages like Bash, Python, Golang, Perl, and tools like daemon processes, Riemann, InfluxDB, OpenTSDB, Kafka, Grafana, Prometheus, and APIs to monitor the infrastructure 5. Write automation scripts If there are more than 10 steps to be performed and chances are that the task has to be performed more than once, the SRE never hesitate to automate the task. This saves time and also prevents human error. The SRE uses programming languages like Bash, Python, Golang, Perl, Ansible to automate the tasks. 6. Manage users on the machines

Hey there! Follow the podcast if you like the episode This is Tharun. In the Developer Tharun Podcast, I speak about Software Engineering Thank you for Listening In this Episode Vault server setup flow What is seal/unseal of Vault server? Policies Difference between server in Dev mode & Prod mode And more... Vault stores data in encrypted format. The encryption key that is being used to encrypt/decrypt the data is also stored along with rest of the data in the keyring. When a Vault server starts, it knows where the data resides through the configuration that we provide Vault with but doesn't know how to decrypt the encryption key that is present in the keyring along with the Vault encrypted data. Here comes the master key that is used to decrypt the encryption key which is also present alongside all other Vault data. This master key is also encrypted and we need a special key that can decrypt the master key, this key is known as Unseal key. The Unseal key is generated during the init process using an algorithm known as 'Shamir's secret sharing', where the unseal key is split into certain number of unseal keys 'X' and every time we want to unseal the Vault server we will need a certain number of unseal keys 'Y' and these 'X' and 'Y' values can be decided by the Vault architect when initializing the Vault server. The main intention of creating several unseal keys is to distribute these unseal keys among several stakeholders such that, a minimum number of stake holders are needed to unseal the server or perform major operations on the server. What are policies? Policies help you create rules that define access to various secrets. We can create policies that allow certain level access like create access, update access, read access, delete access and so on. We then assign this policy to a particular authentication mechanism of a user. This user will have only those access mentioned in the policies attached to his credentials. This way, Vault makes sure that we provide minimal and only necessary access to Vault stakeholders. Thank you for listening to my Podcast. Follow my podcast if you find it helpful.

Introducing Virtualization I know the article made you hungry, let’s get back to the topic. You need to know two basic things: Host machine: Imagine a huge machine on which multiple other smaller machines will be created Guest  machine: The multiple smaller machines that are created on top of the  huge machine, that uses the resources provided by the huge machine is a  guest machine. Virtualization  creates a software representation of the underlying hardware resources  on a host and shares it among the virtual machines that are created on  top of it. Each virtual machine has its own operating system and  applications, thereby being able to utilize the resources of a host  machine by its guest machines in an isolated manner. A  virtual machine ( VM ) is an isolated guest machine that has it’s own  operating system and applications. Each VM is completely independent of  other VMs running on the same host machine. If you remember our x84 vs x64 architecture systems blog post,  the x84 systems are not capable of running more than one operating  system or application at a time. The concept of multi-processing came up  only with the x64 systems introducing the dual-core, quad-core so on.  Because of this reason, the earlier datacenters which were based on x84  systems had to increase the number of servers, whereas the server  utilization remained underutilized. Today,  this is not the scenario. Virtualization has gone beyond just server  virtualization and has reached network virtualization, disk  virtualization, and so on. But how is this possible? Hypervisor — The hero of our story The  concept of Virtual Machines is made possible only because of the thin  layer of software known as the Hypervisor, which is installed on the  host machine. The hypervisor enables the virtualization of resources and  isolation between the Virtual machines that are created on the same  host. This enables efficient and transparent utilization of data center  resources. Types of Hypervisors: Type one hypervisors ( Bare-metal hypervisors ) Type two hypervisors ( Hosted hypervisors ) Type one hypervisors Type  1 hypervisors as depicted above lay directly above the physical server  and host the virtual machines on top of them. They are also known as  bare-metal hypervisors. It has shown far better performance than type  two hypervisors. Dynamic  resource allocation in Type 1 hypervisor allows VMs to consume  resources only as much as they need to be fully functional, even if you  allocate more than that. For example, if you allocate 32GB of RAM to a  VM, it will not reserve all 32GB of RAM to the VM, but only that  resource which it needs to fully function. ( This is not the case with  Type 2 hypervisors ). Example: The open-source KVM ( Kernel-based Virtual Machine ) Type two hypervisors Type 2 hypervisors as depicted above have an operating system on top of  the physical server layer, over which a type two hypervisor is  installed. So, there is a host operating system ( a software layer )  that comes in between the physical server and the type two hypervisor.

x86 Systems x86 is a generic name that is used to refer to all Intel processors that were released after the original 8086 or 8088 variant of Intel processors.  The variants like 80286, 80386, 80486 so on.. were named using the  convention x86, where the 80 is implicit, and x can be replaced with a  number conveniently. These are backward compatible systems. 8086 or 8088 are the various names that are used to Identify the microprocessors of Intel that were released in the 1970s. Registers used in the early x86 systems A  Register is a tiny memory holding electronic device that is used by the  processor to either store instructions, data or address. These are  fundamental units that are used when executing a computer instruction to  perform a task. x86 systems ranged from 8-bit, 16-bit and then 32bit. What do these bits refer to? They are the highest number of bits in a single register that exists in the system. Maximum memory limit When  we say 32-bit, the number will contain 32 digits with each of them  being either 0 or 1. The number system used here is Binary System (  power 2 ). Hence, the maximum possible value here will be 2³², which is  42,94,967,295. These are the maximum number of memory locations that a  32-bit register can access. We can only attach that memory device which  the register can completely make use of. Thus, a 32-bit register can cater a maximum of 4GB of RAM.  This is because, if each memory location that the register points to  can hold 1 byte of data, then 42,94,967,295 bytes = 4.29 G. Although  this is theoretical, the actual RAM that can be used will be less than  around 3.5G, because of certain parts of the register being used to  store other types of data. x64 Systems For the systems that evolved to use 64-bit registers,  they initially named it x86–64, but since this sounds longer, the  naming was changed to x64 systems. x64 is a generic name that is used to  refer to all Intel processors that are 64-bit processors. The x64 systems as mentioned above contains registers that are even capable of storing 64bits in a single register. Theoretical Maximum memory limit When  we say 64-bit, the number will contain 64 digits with each of them  being either 0 or 1. The number system used here will be Binary system  just like the 32-bit family. Hence, the maximum possible value here will  be 2⁶⁴. Thus each 64-bit register can cater a maximum of around 18 Quintillion bytes of memory. ( One Quintillion is 10¹⁸ ). Therefore it will be able to handle the  usual RAM that we come across everyday effortlessly, including  enterprise production servers. Processing power of x64 systems x64 systems come with configurations like dual core, quad core, octa core and so on, which depicts the number of processors that work  simultaneously in an integrated circuit. This enables the Operating  system to perform tasks parallely. While dual-core has two cores than  one single core, every task that it does need not be twice as fast as a  single core machine. This is because, even the operating systems and  programs that is using the processors should be able to perform  parallely using multi processors. Roadrunners  is a series that is aimed at delivering concepts as precise as  possible. Here, a roadrunner is referred to a person who does things  super fast & efficient. Are you a roadrunner? https://medium.com/@tharunshiv/x86-vs-x64-systems-for-roadrunners-18de2d488020

Thank you for Listening In this Episode What are Progressive Web Apps? Why should you use them? Their features How they work? Their advantages and disadvantages Do I recommend them? And more... In the current world of technologies, one of the technology that is currently booming is the PWA. It was introduced by Google in 2015 and since then plenty of websites have adopted this technology. And the result obtained through this are also marvellous. PWA is a web app, which can be displayed in the form of a regular App on a phone ( platform-independent) and also works like a regular responsive website on the internet. What does it use? It consists of Javascript mainly and uses Service Workers, in which the server of the PWA is saved in the user’s web browser and from time to time new feeds are loaded into it. This is the main reason of the speed of a PWA. The Advantages of building a PWA:  1. Responsive Layout 2. Available in offline Mode 3. Add to the Home Screen 4. Acts like a Mobile App 5. Push Notifications 6. Very less memory space 7. Cross Platform Thank you for listening to my Podcast. Follow my podcast if you find it helpful. Check out my other episodes.

Hey there! Please Follow this podcast! This is Tharun. In the Developer Tharun Podcast, I talk about programming, web development and related fields. Thank you for Listening In this Episode 8 mistakes Freelancers do & how you can avoid it. My Experience with Freelancing, the project and how much did I charge? And more... What is Freelancing??? To be brief, It is a Job where you are the boss and you take projects directly from the client and do the majority of the work yourself. You mostly work alone on the project. You get paid for the projects which you work on. These are some Biggest Blunders made by Freelancers and you need to avoid them. 1. Never Pick Projects from an unauthorized source Rely on Trusted sources/websites.  Do not trust Facebook/LinkedIn groups where you get projects. There are many incidents of how clients have cheated by just paying 50% and receiving the project.  2. Never be Greedy You would probably never end up at your project if you are greedy.Bid for reasonable rates.  Build good reputation first.  3. Never Ignore the Terms and Conditions/Guidelines of the Marketplace  Read the rules of conduct before you start to use the Website. You may get blocked for not following the guidelines.  4. Don’t forget to communicate with your Client  Your first goal must be to understand the project really well and be honest to yourself about whether you can complete the project. Be open to your client.Share your progress with your client regularly, so that , If you go offtrack, it would be easy for you to get back on track.  5. Never agree to an Unauthorized Payment from the Client  Sometimes the client wants you to receive money in direct payment, If you do not know them personally Don’t accept it. They try to do that to prevent the service charges from the Freelance Website. They many even cheat you on the payment. Always use the Marketplace Payment Gateway.  6. Never! Ever! Commit to more than 3 projects at max.  You will drop your efficiency and reputation if you Flop on your projects.  7. Choose the Freelance Website/ Clients carefully  There are some websites which just don’t work out. So research well about the website where you are spending your valuable time.  8. If you are a beginner, Never get stuck waiting for your project from a single website.  Spend some time in registering in a few reliable Freelancing websites. Thank you for listening to my Podcast.

Read the part 1 here: https://anchor.fm/developertharun/episodes/Artificial-intelligence-is-a-threat--Really--My-Perspective-on-how-to-use-A-i-constructively-efhusa Where do you see AI in the future? If you are one among those, you would say ‘Robots destroying and taking over humans, fire everywhere‘. LOL, that could happen, but believe me, we are damn far away from it. Is AI overhyped? Not at all , the possibilities of AI are not yet completely explored. So let us look at some things that AI can achieve in the near future: 1. Explainable predictions Just understanding a user’s past from his data could not yield the desirable results. So the AI would be developed to understand the cognitive/logical path of reasoning that leads to a certain decision. This would make the predictions more error-free and hence accurate. So the predictions would be reliable. 2. Medicines and surgery AI would be developed to assist surgeons on their surgery which would lead to a higher success rate at Medicine. AI would be used to communicate with patients whose disability restricts them from communicating with the world. AI would be used to discover new medicines without the unnecessary need of testing it on animals and humans, that too pretty quickly ( 100 times faster and efficient). 3. Emotional Analysis Behavioral insights are meaningless without understanding their emotional impact. AI now is able to suggest songs simply based on your mood patterns, for real. Emotional AI will largely depend on human psychology, facial expressions, voice modulations, changes in brain waves, etc. to understand what you exactly want and suggest products or services accordingly (anti-spam) . 4. Real–time risk detection: Whether it is stock market analysis or bitcoin price prediction, the real time prediction would be of great help for companies that completely depend on these. The latest AI technology will be able to turn real time updates into instantaneous business insights. It would report you on possible threats that may occur any sooner, based on which businesses and their clients will be able to make effective decisions. These are just a very few applications of AI. Than debating that it is bad, we can use AI constructively towards development purposes. Have a great day ahead!

Hey there! Follow my Podcasts to get notified of new episodes 😊🎉 The intelligence exhibited by anything other than Living beings which is equal to or more than the intelligence of the Living being. Is AI a threat? Is AI over-hyped? Can AI be learned by all? Does the industry have unrealistic expectations from it? If you want a one line straight forward answer, then AI is not a threat at all, atleast for another five decades or more. And yeah, if you are here trying to use fiction movies to justify your answer then, please don’t. Just to be on point, let us see the stuff that AI has achieved so far, Due to the availability of good GPU’s, we are able to train the model with huge datasets and hence teach the model to detect suspicious activities. Whether that is in video surveillance, credit card fraud detection, military and many others. It is also being used to auto verify the documents for bank account creation, loan approvals and others. What about the chatbots that you have come across? More accurate appropriation of company budgets : Whether a company is trying to draw up its marketing budget or understanding how much needs to be spent on customer-specific research, AI helps them get a more accurate estimate of their specific cost involvements and resource allocations. This is crucial to operational efficiency and profitability of fintech players. Some tasks involve a lot of cognitive intelligence and brainwork, which leads to certain customers facing processes like documentations and verifications more time consuming and prone to errors. But AI automates this process by first learning from the previous data collected and produces unmatchable results. Movie scripting and Music generation : Yup you heard that right. Did’nt expect that, did you? AI could be trained on scripts and stories and then used to generate stories for you. One such famous script is ‘SunSpring’, check it out. And yeah it could be used to mimic the works of Beethoven too. Medicine and Bio-technology : Yes, AI models are used to simulate the effects due to the combination of various chemicals, which inturn could be used to cure diseases. The feat which would take humans decades could be predicted within minutes with a trained model. These are just an abstract of few stuff which AI could perform.

Happy new year! Its new year 2019. I hope y’all really enjoyed the holidays, cause its Christmas time followed by the new year.. Every new year comes up  with a special topic called a New year resolution. Everyone knows that. Now if you don't know what a new year resolution is, then it is nothing but a set of decisions that a person takes and makes sure that he keeps up with it throughout his life. Have you made up your new year resolution yet? If yes , then let me know. Cause I’m coming up with reasons why you shouldn’t have a resolution and reasons why you should have them. And if you should have them then how do you make some and achieve them. As a bonus I will be sharing the 10 tactics to make the new year the new better you. Hi there, I’m Tharun. You’re listening a being a pro, a one stop destination where you can learn what being a pro is like.  Now talking about my personal experience about the new year resolutions, I’ve had a pretty bad record of keeping up with them , the reason not being the fact that I became worse, the reason was the I became better in the fields that I had not planned for in the beginning of the year. Now I think this is one of the main reasons why you should not care about having a new year resolution. If you’re spending time charting up what you want to do, how much you want to do and then if you’re finding something better than what you had planned, then you would be definitely making a switch, which makes the planned resolutions a waste. So who doesn’t need a new year resolution?  If you are determined enough and all you see is your Goals Goals Goals… and nothing else in your way. If you are surrounded by like minded and motivated people who will always inspire you and motivate you to move forward no matter what. Now this is not always gonna happen. Everyone is neither a self-motivated person as a beginner nor would they have amazing people around them. And also When you’re training yourself to become a professional ,then there will be several options out there and you will take the most time deciding between them. So if you think that you’re gonna settle up with one technology, then chances are that due to say business needs, feature needs, client needs you may tend to deviate into a better or worst track. 10 Tactics to make 2019 a WOW. Exercise first thing every morning Read for 60 minutes  each day, whether its a book or a course or some new talent or language. Speak your truth even when its scary. I personally do this always, and trust me, each and every time it turns out to be Gold. Delete the dream stealers from your life. Quality matters not quantity. Have 3 good friends, more than enough. Be around art+nature often. Do a one page plan to make 2019 great. Write in a journal daily Do the things that terriffy you, in a positive way. Be the kindest person you know, you never know who will repay for your kindness. But at the same time dont give kindness with an expectation. Make personal mastery job number 1. Work towards self development and thats not the only thing that strengthens you , but also helping others will improve your personal skills.
