Mike is joined by special guest Luke Orellana, an SRE at Microsoft. Luke has a ton of great experience to share and has been up to a lot of fun things, like infrastructure development and terraform, that you’ll enjoy hearing all about.
In this episode, we talk about…
- Luke’s background and how he ended up working for Microsoft.
- The basics of terraform and an in-depth dive into how Luke manages the cloud infrastructure with terraform.
- The most common question that Luke hears about terraform.
- The different versions of terraform available, their pricing, and their advantages.
- How you can go about getting started in terraform (it’s fairly easy to get started, and then build on your skills later so that you can take on more complex projects).
- What it’s like working at a giant software company like Microsoft and how Luke prepared for the grueling interview process.
- The best career advice Luke has ever gotten -which is to learn whatever skills you’re interested in, whether you’re using them for your company right now or not.
- How if you want to get into producing content like a blog, you need to start doing it and you will get better as you go.
- How content creation can get you noticed and level up your career.
- What an SRE (site reliability engineering) does and how it’s becoming a sought-after skill set for many companies.
