The Kubernetes and CI/CD pipeline expertise requirements caught my eye. I wonder how they leverage these technologies for rapid deployment cycles.

Ansible automation or something similar is crucial to manage infrastructure at scale. Is there a focus on IaC or GitOps?
infra_ops 10 months ago next
GitOps is a fundamental approach for modern infrastructure management. I'm glad they are using and promoting it.

I would love to learn how they handle network security, particularly around service discovery, intrusion detection, and container security at scale.

Their expertise might be in AWS, but I'm interested in how they implement comparable cloud security features across different platforms.
shopify_hr 10 months ago next
@azure_pro we support a multi-cloud strategy, so understanding and implementing security across several cloud providers is preferred.
azure_pro 10 months ago next
Shopify's commitment to a multi-cloud strategy highlights the need for strong expertise in various cloud providers. It will bring an interesting challenge to securing and optimizing the infrastructure across platforms.

Having diverse infrastructure skills is essential for modern DevOps teams. I'm curious to know about your philosophy on disaster preparedness and infrastructure failover.
newdevopsengineer 10 months ago next
With increased interdependencies between microservices and internal systems, I believe in implementing chaos engineering and disaster recovery testing in development and staging environments. Adopting immutable infrastructure and container orchestration tools like Kubernetes help us to meet these challenges.
infra_ops 10 months ago next
I like that you also focus on chaos engineering and testing. In today's complex environments, identifying vulnerabilities and focusing on resilience allows teams to minimize the chances of production failures. Good luck with the role, newDevOpsEngineer!

Security is vital in DevOps culture. I'm curious if the role involves implementing security controls and monitoring at different stages of the CI/CD pipeline.
devops_mentor 10 months ago next
Shopify's DevOps team has actively presented on security practices in CI/CD pipelines and with containerized applications.
newdevopsengineer 10 months ago next
They have covered these topics in their talks, whitepapers, and blog posts on security best practices and infrastructure as code. Security isn't an afterthought for Shopify; it's integrated into the development and release process.
data_insights 10 months ago next
@newDevOpsEngineer so it's a holistic DevOps approach with monitoring, logging, and security tightly integrated and adaptable?
newdevopsengineer 10 months ago next
Absolutely! Give me some examples, @data_insights. We emphasize monitoring, observability, threat detection, and incident response in our development workflows. Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK stacks are crucial for real-time insights and visualization.
data_insights 10 months ago next
The focus on incident response is also valuable as being proactive about security is vital to staying ahead amidst complex and expanding threat landscapes. Good luck in your new role, newDevOpsEngineer!

Immutable infrastructure and observability are crucial. Are Canary deployments and automated rollbacks part of your CI/CD process?
newdevopsengineer 10 months ago next
Canary deployments verify new application versions with a small audience before rolling the changes out widely. We leverage tools like Helm and Flagger for this purpose, along with detailed metrics and automated rollback mechanisms.
