Python programing language instead of java script...because most employers now run on Python

I am talking about java not javascript

Thank you

belovez:
If you are looking for job and money and you are in Nigeria go for Java

Yes. I am in Nigeria and I am looking for job/money. Thank you

rickpat:
Go for python instead

Wish ya the best

Thank you but if I am ask why python? Do you mean python for backend?

Is it a good advice for one to learn java at 40? I am planning on learn java but I don't know if it is a good idea? How is the job market right now for java developers? I am a laravel developer. I also do devops/cloud

How?

Just as a fool at forty is a fool forever. So also, no wife at forty means no wife forever.

Dem go use your bvn to collect it back from any of your account that has money on it.

I am planning on travelling to the east this weekend. Is it safe for me to travel to enugu and anambra. The rate of kidn*ping and death I hear is making me fe*ar

This is for a meal of one broke single person

You gave everybody but your sister. Even if it a gift because I know she will not ask for your money

🚀 How I Setup a Kubernetes Cluster from Scratch – Step-by-Step Guide 🚀

Setting up a self-managed Kubernetes cluster puts you in full control:
✅ Choose the exact Kubernetes version
✅ Tune every configuration to your needs
✅ Pick your own networking, storage, and security setup
✅ Run it anywhere — bare metal, cloud, or hybrid — with zero vendor lock-in

Beyond flexibility, managing Kubernetes yourself gives you hands-on insight into:

The control plane

Networking

Scaling

…building the kind of expertise that managed services can’t always offer.

📖 In this guide, I walk you through building your own self-managed Kubernetes cluster from scratch, so you end up with both a working environment and the operational knowledge to run it like a pro.

🔥🔥 Step-by-Step Guide to Setting Up AWS OIDC for Secure CI/CD Integration 🔥🔥

Not too long ago, every time we wanted our CI/CD pipeline to talk to AWS, it felt like setting up a long-distance relationship. IAM users, access keys, and a whole lot of trust. We’d generate those long-lived credentials, hide them in some secret vault, and hope they never got leaked. 😬

But let’s be honest managing static keys in pipelines is risky business. One accidental exposure, and boom 💥 your entire cloud environment could be compromised.

Luckily, AWS had a better plan. It stepped in and said:
“Forget the keys. I’ve got something smarter short-lived tokens with OpenID Connect (OIDC).”

With OIDC, your GitLab pipeline (or any modern CI/CD tool) can securely authenticate with AWS without ever storing sensitive keys. These tokens are ephemeral they disappear after use, reducing your attack surface and simplifying your security posture. 🔐

Objective(s)
✅ Configure trust between GitLab and AWS using IAM OIDC identity providers

Prerequisite(s)
✅ AWS Account
✅ Gitlab Account

In this tutorial, I’ll walk you through how to set up OIDC with GitLab and AWS step-by-step

DevOps has come a long way. it's faster, smarter, and more automated than ever. But with that rapid growth, new security risks are always lurking around the corner. Imagine this: you've locked all the doors to your cloud infrastructure, feeling safe… but you forgot the side window( Your CI/CD pipeline). If that window isn’t secured, an attacker might quietly slip in, or a simple oversight could sneak its way into production. That’s the reality we face today. Securing the cloud alone isn’t enough. We need to protect the entire journey from code to deployment.

Typically, after writing a Terraform script, you would manually run terraform apply in the terminal to deploy your resources. However, GitOps simplifies this process. By integrating your version control system ike GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket. Now you can automate deployments with a simple git push.

Gen millennials are the smartest. Most of the tech giant and innovation we have today are from the millennials.

Kubernetes is the world’s leading container orchestration platform, known for powerful features like load balancing, self-healing, and automated scaling. However, securing a Kubernetes cluster can be challenging due to its broad attack surface spanning the infrastructure, the Kubernetes control plane, and the applications running on it.

In this article, I’ll walk you through key concepts and practical tips to help you strengthen the security of your Kubernetes cluster.

Happy New week🔥🔥🔥

GitLab is one of the most widely used version control and CI/CD platforms globally. When working with pipelines, we often need to use sensitive information such as passwords or SSH keys. To keep these secrets secure and out of source code, GitLab allows us to store them as environment variables, which can then be safely referenced within our pipeline scripts.

Objective(s)
✅ Set up variables in GitLab

Requirement(s)
✅ A gitlab account

An IAM Role (Identity and Access Management Role) in AWS is a secure way to grant temporary access to AWS services and resources without needing to share long-term credentials (like IAM user access keys). In this tutorial we will look at how to create IAM roles and give it permissions so that the user or the service can have the privilege to access the resource.

Objectives
✅ To create aws users, access, secret keys and IAM role

Requirements
✅ AWS Account
