Intro

We created this set of exercises to give you the opportunity to express yourself technically. Do as much as you can in the time you have. Feel free to ask us questions, if any. No worries if you can't make it all by lack of time or understanding of what we're asking. We'll defrief it with you during our next call.

Have fun!

Fork

Fork this repo to your own github repo

Ex. 1 - python

Here is the output of a python application:

$ python run.py 'Hello buddies'
 _   _        _  _          _                 _      _  _
| | | |  ___ | || |  ___   | |__   _   _   __| |  __| |(_)  ___  ___
| |_| | / _ \| || | / _ \  | '_ \ | | | | / _` | / _` || | / _ \/ __|
|  _  ||  __/| || || (_) | | |_) || |_| || (_| || (_| || ||  __/\__ \
|_| |_| \___||_||_| \___/  |_.__/  \__,_| \__,_| \__,_||_| \___||___/

Can you write the run.py application and put it in the ex1 folder of the repo?

Ex. 2 - docker

In ex2 folder, you will find a plik binary (taken from https://plik.ovh).

Can you build very lighweight docker image that contains ONLY plik binary, and that execute plik by default?

Push your Dockerfile in the ex2 folder.

Ex. 3 - terraform

In ex3 folder, you will find an incomplete openrc file.

You will need to amend the file to configure the correct OS_USERNAME, OS_PASSWORD and OS_REGION_NAME with the one that we gave to you.

Then, using terraform, can you write a plan to boot a d2-4 with a floating IP.

Bonus, on that instance, make sure a web server (nginx) is running.

Push your main.tf file in ex3 folder.

Ex. 4 - git

In this repo, there are two branches:

• stein
• queens

Stein contains the following commits:

• 1ff2641 (stein) G
• cf24853 F
• 3fcdfa0 E
• cb8c71a D
• 849ef26 C
• 372c155 B
• edc8ed7 A

Queens contains the following commits:

• 2624c16 (queens) F
• 5e3521b B
• edc8ed7 A

So the common ancestor is A (same commit ID).

B has been cherry-picked from stein to queens, without conflicts.

F has also been cherry-picked but with conflicts (solved, of course).

Exercice

You will need to create two branches:

• merged
• rebased

Merged

Create the merged branch first:

git checkout -b merged origin/queens

Then merge the stein branch into your branch

git merge origin/stein

You will have a conflict to solved.

Solve it, then push your merged branch to your repo.

Rebased

Now create the rebased branch:

git checkout -b rebased origin/queens

Now rebase it on top of stein:

git rebase -i origin/stein

You will have a conflict to solved.

Solve it, then push your rebased branch to your repo.

Check diff

Now check the diff between your two branches merged and rebased.

git diff merged..rebased

Can you explain why you have a diff?

Write down the explanation in ex4 folder (like in a README.md file)
