Deploying Containers with Kubernetes!

Kubernetes, also known as K8s, is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications…

Sorry breh, I can't think of why. Maybe a Docker desktop + Kubernetes issue?

I actually used K3's I tried to go the Docker desktop route and that didn't work at all.

Guys how do you deal with more experienced co-workers who are "know it alls" and think they are never wrong?

It is been hard to get back on my grind lately. I had interview with Amazon and did not make it through. Every single requirement they asked I met(even certs etc.). I did well throughout the questions asked..except this random question they asked that I would not know unless I work in devops. The main thing that bothers me is that when I look linkedin at their white hires, they are not as qualified. Some didn't even have a tech background. With that said, the positions did close after their mass layoffs but I can't lie, I still feel a bit defeated.

Going to spend some time in the next 45-50 days, redoing my labs etc. re-up my aws-sec then start applying for new jobs. I was banking on this to be my next move hence why I feel so defeated .

Keep updating us on your journey, I'm working on mine

Started applying to new jobs I'm in the DMV area, currently being processed for my TS/SCI but I'm like fukk it at this point. I have a Bachelors, Sec+, CEH and CASP+, and a Top Secret Clearance BUT... not a lot of experience. I used this slow paced job to study during the day and got those three certs in about 10 months. So now that this job has served it's purpose the only reason to stay would be for the TS/SCI.

I'm currently looking at ISSO, Cyber Security Analyst and Vulnerability Analyst positions online and man do I need more hands on experience. If anyone has any tips for interviews or jobs I'm all ears. My resume looks good but my lack in experience will no doubt hold me back. So I just need to interview, interview and interview. I'll find something eventually.

Don't take it hard breh. It could have nothing to do with you. They might have saw you as a threat. We both know that the industry is filled with insecure folks. Consider it a blessing and the opportunity for something better
