## Level 1 Questions |
||||||
|
How would you prove the code is correct? |
||||||
|
To prove the code is correct I suppose I could set up a test environment |
||||||
|
where I could account for all connections and run tests like |
||||||
|
ssh connections, dhclient or dig (dns) connections, nmap port |
||||||
|
scans, and then ensure the connections I expect from the tests |
||||||
|
appear in the program's output. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
How would you make this solution better? |
||||||
|
I'd improve the solution by making the functions more focused on |
||||||
|
specific tasks, improving how I present the interface of each |
||||||
|
function to each other to more specifically eliminate type |
||||||
|
or value errors. I'd also allot more time to complete the task |
||||||
|
since I wasn't able to find enough before the deadline. |
||||||
|
Is it possible for this program to miss a connection? |
||||||
|
Yes, if the connection is brief enough so as not to last more than 10 |
||||||
|
seconds and thereby be missed by the most recent read of the |
||||||
|
/proc/net/tcp file |
||||||
|
If you weren't following these requirements, how would you solve the problem of logging every new connection? |
||||||
|
I would likely find a solution that leverages inotify to detect any change to the file and then read it, |
||||||
|
rather than polling it every 10 seconds. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Level 2 Questions |
||||||
|
Why did you choose 'x' to write the build automation? |
||||||
|
I would simply choose bash, as it's what I'm most familiar with and it |
||||||
|
can reliably use the go build tools as well as invoke testing |
||||||
|
systems like kvm/qemu, docker/podman and the like. |
||||||
|
Is there anything else you would test if you had more time? |
||||||
|
If I had more time I'd spend it fleshing out my testing as outlined above |
||||||
|
and doing a more thorough job of structuring my data in the way |
||||||
|
that I've modeled it in my head - the choice of go definitely |
||||||
|
consigned me to reading more than writing with the little time |
||||||
|
I had. Should have gone with bash I think. |
||||||
|
What is the most important tool, script, or technique you have for solving |
||||||
|
problems in production? Explain why this tool/script/technique is the most important. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Level 3 Questions |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you had to deploy this program to hundreds of servers, what would be your |
||||||
|
preferred method and why? |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I would use ansible and use git to clone, build, and install the script. |
||||||
|
This method is my preferred one because it's simple to |
||||||
|
troubleshoot in the event that I run into issues and |
||||||
|
ansible doesn't require a central orchestrator node. It's |
||||||
|
also the Infrastructure-as-code tool I'm most familiar with. |
||||||
|
What is the hardest technical problem or outage you've had to solve in your |
||||||
|
career? Explain what made it so difficult? |

||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- golang 'encoding' package |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Building |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Ensure your $GOPATH is set correctly and run: |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Execute `go build main.go` in repository root |
||||||
|
2. Execute `go install teleport_devops_challenge` |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Executing |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Ensure GOPATH/bin (GOPATH = `go env GOPATH`) has been added to your shell $PATH |
||||||
|
or execute the following: |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`PATH=/home/$(whoami)/go/bin:$PATH teleport_devops_challenge` |
