Use your skills to your advantage. In an interview, don't settle for crappy coding challenges. Ask the company what version of linux they're running in their docker containers (and when it was updated/patched) If they can't even tell you, prove value by telling them why (security, perf) and how (either newer canonical images or custom) My point here is the game hasn't really changed, it's just gotten wrapped in two more layers of abstraction. My learning advice: - Skip python, unless you want to become a coder or get into data science - Learn how to launch a basic app using docker (think of a dockerfile like a shell script) - Learn the 4 basic things you need to launch a basic app on kube (pod, deployment, service, ingress)

Awesome post! Always happy to see more committed infrastructure. We made this move a while back and were really happy with the results. Check out Packer for AMI builds and you're all set.

One suggestion re: TF files is to keep each service in a separate TF file/state and keep all your state files on S3 that way if someone does an apply it's always consistent. Keeping things separated means that you don't have to worry about hitting other services when you do an apply
