For a while, I’ve been working on a project that uses GitLab Runner with Docker as its executor. Since runners are hosted on CentOS 7, everything made sense—until we started looking at moving it to CentOS 8, and our world exploded.
The first thing we were thinking was, since Podman is a drop-in replacement, this should be easy (you can imagine the veracity of that statement yourselves). The truth was, Podman didn’t have the API that GitLab Runner used to manage the containers, so even if we could do everything manually, we weren’t there yet.

I have decided to streamline my update process for customer systems I support as well as for my own Linux devices. While a series of complex scripts have served me well for a long time, the advantages of using Ansible for this task are just too many to pass up.

2020 Open Source Jobs Report Reveals Spike in Demand for DevOps Talent
The Linux Foundation, the nonprofit organization enabling mass innovation through open source, and edX, the trusted platform for learning, has released the 2020 Open Source Jobs Report, examining demand for open source talent and trends amongst open source professionals.
Despite the pandemic, demand for open source technology skills continues to be strong. Companies and organizations continue to increase their recruitment of open source technology talent while offering increased educational opportunities for existing staff to fill skills gaps. 93% of hiring managers report difficulty finding open source talent, and 63% say their organizations have begun to support open source projects with code or other resources for the explicit reason of recruiting individuals with those software skills, a significant jump from the 48% who stated this in 2018. DevOps has also become the top role hiring managers are looking to fill (65% are looking to hire DevOps talent), moving demand for developers to second (59%) for the first time in this report’s history. 74% of employers are now offering to pay for employee certifications, up from 55% in 2018, 47% in 2017, and only 34% in 2016.

OpenShift is an enterprise application platform based on the Kubernetes orchestration tool. It can deploy applications from a number of sources, including prebuilt images as well as from source. In this article, I will talk about Source-to-Image (S2I) and how to automate the entire process using Git webhooks. You can follow along and try it out yourself for free at the OpenShift Interactive Learning Portal.
