Zaur Bahramov In the modern DevOps world, CI/CD pipelines are the MVPs behind the scenes — automating builds, running tests, and pushing code to production while you sip your coffee.
But what are they really? And why do developers and sysadmins alike keep throwing around this alphabet soup?
Let’s break it down.
So you’re on a domain-joined Windows machine, and someone tells you to “just submit the CSR to the CA.” Cool. One problem: You have no idea where the CA is. Or if there’s even one available. 😅
Fear not, fellow IT traveler — in this post, I’ll show you exactly how to:
Let’s get sleuthing 🔍
Have you ever wanted to hide a message in plain sight? Or maybe just look super cool using the command line like a digital ninja? 😎 In this post, I’ll show you how to encode and decode files using the Windows command line — no extra software required!
We’re not doing anything fancy like encryption here — we’re just encoding data using a format called Base64. It’s a neat way to turn your files into a scrambled-looking format that’s still perfectly reversible.
Let’s jump right in!
You’re on your fourth coffee, your download speed feels like it’s coming through a dial-up modem, and your Zoom call looks like it’s been processed by Minecraft. You need to test your internet speed—but firing up a browser, dodging ads, and watching spinning gauges isn’t the vibe today.
Let’s do it like IT pros do—from the command line.
In this guide, you’ll learn how to use Speedtest CLI (the official command-line tool from Ookla) on Windows to test your internet connection like a tech-savvy ninja. We’ll start with simple usage, level up with automation in PowerShell, and hint at more powerful features hiding just beneath the surface.
Hey there! 👋
So recently, I needed to start managing a vSphere environment more efficiently, and rather than clicking my way through the vSphere Client, I figured: why not automate things a bit with PowerShell? That’s where VMware PowerCLI comes into play — a super handy set of modules that lets you interact with vSphere using PowerShell commands.
If you’re just getting into this, don’t worry — installing PowerCLI is way easier than it used to be. No more separate downloads from VMware’s site or wrestling with .exe installers. Now, it’s all done straight from PowerShell itself. Here’s how I did it, step by step.
VMware ESXi and vCenter Server are critical components in a virtualized infrastructure, and understanding their file structure, logs, and tools can help administrators troubleshoot issues effectively. In this blog post, we will explore the most useful folders, tools, and logs in VMware ESXi and vCenter Server.
