🎉 Welcome to Simple Engineer Notes!
Hi there!
This channel is about sharing my simple thoughts and notes about complex topics from an engineer's point of view.
Who am I?
- In real life: cyclist, camper, engineer & coffee person.
- At work: As an infrastructure simplifying engineer, I’ve seen infrastructure from completely different points of view: as a system administrator, software-defined storage developer, and DevOps engineer. Fortunately, there’s an unchanged part. I believe that infrastructure is code and therefore we must use the same philosophy for infrastructure as for software development.
What to expect here:
- Simple explanations of tricky engineering ideas.
- Personal notes and real-life lessons about IT, IaC, DevOps, automation, engineering
Thanks for joining me on this journey to make complicated things simple.
The most interesting posts:

🛠 VmWare & Hardware version debug

P.S. it might be interesting to read the articles
- IDLC = SDLC + Ansible: IaC Development Life Cycle: Ansible based story
- How to test Ansible and don’t go nuts
- Lessons learned from testing Over 200,000 lines of Infrastructure Code
- System call interception in linux-kernel module
- A list of awesome IaC testing articles, speeches & links. Especially about Ansible.

🗺 Devops Roadmap
One who wants to become a devops engineer should learn a lot in this journey. I'd like to put things from A to Z and clarify who is who and why.
key ideas from the article https://www.goncharov.xyz/it/devops-roadmap.html :
- Senior != title.
- Have a passion for engineering.
- Learn English.
- Increase observability
- Learn deeply and be T-shaped.
- Say YES to learning/POC/MVP, and say NO to bad practices. Kludges shall not pass.
- No pain, no gain. Hands-on experience is crucial.
- Soft skills (time management, mentoring, knowledge sharing, etc.) are also crucial.
- Work/life balance is important.
- Work in good places and treat others with respect.

🤖 GPT 4 IaC Usecases
I’ve made some practical experiments with GPT in the IaC context and want to share the gist from the article:
🔥 Documentations & presentations
✅ Create Ansible lookup plugin
✅ Generate documentation
✅ Explain Jinja2 expressions
❓ Fix errors in Ansible roles
⛔️ Debug Ansible OTC dynamic inventory plugin
⛔️ Explain dependencies across the project
💡 PR reviewer
💡 Increase IaC test coverage
