Skill Matrix
One draw back of being in the IT industry for so many years is the amount of technologies I’ve used in all past projects, this complicates things even more when I’m on a interview and I’m asked one of the most nonesense questions, whish is:
- How many years of experience do you have in ____ technology? Just fill whichever technology you want in the blank and as you might know, the answer is mostly nonsense. Just to mention a couple of examples:
-
The first time I used AWS was back in 2008, back then I was working in a start up company and the product to be built was a brokerage, we where looking into implementing some infrastructure in the newly created AWS but we where unable to do so since at the time, AWS was not PCI compliant. Funny to think about that now, 16 some years later. Now, the fact that I used AWS for the first time that many years ago, does not mean that I am a master of AWS technologies. What it means is that I’ve used AWS on and off for the past 16 years and are very comfortable with most of the common tools and services. Recently I worked in a project in which it was my first time using Fargate and ECS. It took me a couple of weeks to get the entire implementation going and it was fun to work with it.

Bash Search Text
Creating a bash script to collect specific text from a file is a relatively simple task that can be accomplished using a few basic command line tools. In this post, we will walk through the process step-by-step, so you can start collecting the text you need in no time.
First, open a text editor and create a new file. This will be the script file where we will write the commands that will collect the text from the target file.

Ansible Create Local User
Ansible Create Local User
Ansible is a powerful automation tool that can help you manage and automate your infrastructure. One of the many things that Ansible can do is create and manage users, including the ability to add SSH keys for secure access. In this blog post, we will go over how to use Ansible to create a new user and add an SSH key for that user.
First, we need to create a new Ansible playbook. A playbook is a YAML file that contains instructions for Ansible on what tasks to execute. The playbook we will create will have two tasks: one to create the new user and one to add the SSH key for that user.
