            Hello Suresh,

            I want to keep you informed on the work I've been doing. Here's the report of the first half of 2025.

            SDWAN + App Acceleration
            Status: GA'ed in March.
                - Extensive Integration Test coverage.
                - Good number of Unit Tests while continuously adding more for increased coverage.
                - App Acceleration is available for SDWAN clients across all 200+ GCP edge regions.
                - Benchmarks show up to 300% faster content download. Results.
                - Currently, TMEs are training ~200 SEs as part of GTM strategy.
                    - Working with Meena Sehar (TME) in taking the feature to SEs.


            FedRAMP for App Acceleration
            Status: Ongoing
                - Modified Control Plane components for FedRAMP compliance.
                - ZOS, Ironvault, Zsession Manager, Zaggregator.
                - Working on building FIPS enabled images for Data Plane.
                - Targeting for FedRAMP certification in October, 2025.

                - This project completely eliminates the high costs of generating domain certs from GoDaddy and likes.
                - For example, our PoC assumes 100,000 private apps.
                - At $200/certificate, that's about $20M+ cost savings.


            Other Projects/Technical Debt
            Quality Initiatives
                - From the dev team, own and drive nightly regression test suites.

2025, Feb 27 (Thu)
- Work:
    - ZY-2604: Finally closed ZY-2604 as resolved. I identified issues during dcache provisioning flow. I created a Slack channel and sent out below summary. Requested Anish Mathew to help fix these.
            Huge thanks to @Rajitha Pesaladenne and @Kaci Gu for helping with following

            Background:
            Consider a region where there is no dcache (no Prisma Access, no MU/RN).
            1. SDWAN only Tenant enables App Accel.
            2. ZOS creates ZDIA worker.
            3. zcfg in ZDIA worker makes Tenants V2 API call every 5 mins.
            4. Upon this call, ZOS provisions Dcache.
            5. This has been failing (ZY-2604)

            Observations/Issues:
            1. There are 100s of entries in Jobs table in ready state, for provisioning dcache clusters. ZOS is creating new entry in the same Compute Region even if there's already an entry. For example, in northamerica-northeast1, there are 89 jobs right now. This is a bug. A lot of churn is happening due to this as explained below.
            2. ZOS makes 10 API calls to GET and PATCH sequence_id for dcache clusters. (Screenshot below).
                a. Why is ZOS generating sequence_id when there's already a provisioning job? This is a bug. If possible, this should be a bulk call.
                b. On average, ZOS is wasting 0.5s in sequence_id generation.
                c. ZOS is consuming and wasting up sequence_id namespace.
            3. Jobrunner is creating TF workspace for each provisioning job in the table.
            4. TF creates DCache and makes Webhook callback to ZOS.
            5. ZOS, once again checks if DCache is already exist. If Dcache already exists, ZOS initiate DELETE Dcache call. Dcache created in Step 4 is deleted. Example.

            So, in this example, ONE Of the 89 jobs succeed. The other 88 jobs create Dcache and ZOS immediately deletes them :disappointed:
            I know @Anish Mathew is working on fixing Dcache provisioning workflow. I'm listing the issues found by us.
            In SDWAN Tenant only case, it's taking many hours before Dcache is actually created in the region.

    - ZY-2386:
        - This issue is same as ZY-2462 issue. Chasing Gopi Dhulipalla to fix the DB.

- Work:
    - ZY-2604: Worked very hard to understand why dcache creation is failing.
      Raised an MR. But team and myself had doubts about the MR. So, mostly,
      I'll not commit the MR.
    - ZY-2386: Slept at midnight and woke up at 5am next morning (Thursday) and
      figured out that ZY-2386 is happening due to Tenant node getting deleted.
      Just like ZY-2462. I mentioned this to Shivam Pal and Amit Agarwal.

        3. Currently, Store Room is 6.1" x 7.6". This can be reduced to 6" x 6". This makes Utility Room larger. We can put Washer in it.
        4. Currently, Balcony in the East is 16.6" x 6.6". This can be shorted by 1 ft on both sides, making it 14.6" wide.
        5. Currently, Pooja Room is 6" x 12". Width can be reduced to 9" thus making it 6" x 9".
        6. Currently, Living Room is 18.1" wide. Points 1-5 will make width of Living Room 22.1" wide.
        7. Currently, there is no Office Room in Option 6. We want to have Office Room next to Pooja Room. Size 6" x 6". This will make Living Room 16.1" wide. We can make Office Room with glass walls for wider look and feel.
        8. Entrace for Guest Bedrooms must be in NE corner of the Guest Bedroom.

        THIS IS IMPORTANT.
        We want Main Entrance (Simha Dwaram) to be at the center of the plot. Towards this, below are some suggestions:
        9. Currently, Guest Bedrooms are of unequal width (15" and 15.6" respectively). We can make both 15" or 15.3".
        10. Currently, Powder Room is to the left of entrance. We can move it to the right of entrance, sharing the wall with Master Bathroom. Walk-In Closet can be adjusted accordingly. This is pending Vaastu approval.
        11. Main Entrance must be moved to left, to be Symmetrical and Center to the plot. Balcony in East must be moved to left to be symmetrical with the Main Entrance.

    - Current Nightly Regression Tests
        Meeting Notes (Nightly Regression Tests) - 2/6/2025
        Attendees: Tanmay Sawant, Badrinath Natarajan, Zhe Fan, Bhaskar,

        Currently available:
        1. Control Plane Tests (27 tests). These are run nightly. Takes 1 hour to complete.
        2. Data Plane Tests. These can be run on-demand. Takes 4 hours to complete.

        Want to have:
        1. Bring in DP tests to nightly regression. Run CP tests on `develop` branch and DP tests on `develop` branch of zImage.
        2. Have the ability to run subset of DP tests by developers on-demand.
        3. Have the ability to run nightly regression suite on Custom branches. This will help in testing Hot Fix branches, Feature branches etc.
        4. Use different Compute Regions for sharding. That is: On Dev10, nightly sanity tests are run in one Compute Region (say R1) using Tenant T1. Developers can run sanity tests on another Compute Region (say R2) using Tenant T2.

        Questions:
        1. Who owns the DP tests going forward? Ans: Devs
        2. Who will implement these changes? Ans: Devs

        Action Items:
        1. Badri: Formalize this project with consent from Vikram.
        2. Zhe Fan: Learn from Tanmay on Parts Framework. How to run existing tests.
        3. Bhaskar and Zhe Fan: Scope the project and come up with a plan post Step 1.

        Thanks,
        Bhaskar

        - After upgrade, ZDIA worker was unhealthy and continuous reboot cycle.
          James said zcachex process must be down. To debug, we must disable
          health check and SSH into the box.
        - Figured the V2 Tenants API call is taking > 120s on average. This

2025, Jan 08 (Wed)

    - Jane Jojo: Discussed API concerns
        - Today, there's no way SDWAN Controller knows which subscription they are consuming message from.
        - cdl_region will help only if Tenant is SDWAN + PA. Otherwise, it's not helpful.
    - Merging 5G changes to main
        - Lot of conflict resolutions.
    - Tanmay Sawant: Setup Dev04 with 2 Tenants.
        - The 2 Tenants given to me by Tanmay was manually created in Dev04 DB. Their CYR environment is Dev10.
        - API calls are now going through.
        - Nightly run on Dev04 raised few bugs.

- Warrior/REI:

        - I'll be best to take advise from him, implement it and use Ralf's services.
        - Irfan said I do not need LLC for all rental properties. There are 3 cases when I need LLC
            - Cash. How did you do the loan? Only one entity in US gives 30 year fixed loans to LLC as of 2024.
        - Rental income goes in Schedule E. It does not get added to your W2 income. Schedule E is taxed at different rate than your W2 income.


2025, Jan 07 (Tue)
- Work:
    - Worked with Tanmay Sawant to setup Dev04 Cosmos for continuous regression
      suite runs. There's an issue where two Tenants were not working properly.
      That is, following API call was failing in Dev04.
        - GET /iapi/zos/v1.0/tenants/{oid}/features/app_acceleration
        - Root cause is those Tenants were manually created in Dev04 neo4j.
        - When API call is made to Dev10 CYR to check licenses etc, an error was happening.
        - Reason for error is, Tenant was created with incorrect data in Dev04.
        - The same Tenant exists in Dev02 Cosmos. I looked up what they have in
          Dev02 and recreated that Tenant in Dev04. Then API call started
          working.

    - Meeting with Jane Jojo, Praveen Atmanath and Gopi Dhulipalla.
        - Discuss Tenants with PA + SDWAN license and how Tenant info is saved in neo4j.
        - Minutes of Meeting from Jane
                1) SDWAN + PA tenant, User purchase SDWAN App accel license ->
                SDWAN Controller will detect that tenant node is already
                present in the graph (with oid= <cdl_tenant_id>) and patch the
                tenant node with SDWAN Controller uri details. Node will have
                SDWAN and PA attributes

                2) SDWAN tenant with App accel license -> There’s no CDL tenant
                id at that moment. SDWAN Controller will create the tenant node
                with oid = <tsg_group>. ZOS service in Cosmos also creates
                relationship nodes with this tenant node. and User purchase PA
                license for such a tenant -> When SDWAN Controller detects that
                tenant has cdl_tenant_id, patch the tenant node with (with oid=
                <cdl_tenant_id>) with special query params and Node will have
                SDWAN and PA attributes

                Praveen and Gopi,
                Please provide the query params to use, for rewriting oid in the ne04j.

    - James/Pradeep pointed an issue where Tenants V2 API is not fetching NLB
      IP address of a tenant: 1641641337 in QA01.
        - This tenant does not show up in Tenants V1 and V2 API calls.
            - Tenants V1 API: {{url}}/iapi/zos/v1.0/tenants
            - Tenants V2 API: {{url}}/iapi/zos/v2.0/tenants?cloud_provider=gcp&cloud_region_name=us-west2

        - Direct Core API call to this Tenant pulls details. So, how is this data saved?
            - CORE API: {{url}}/api/sase/v2.0/controller/tenant?tenant_service_group=1641641337

        - App Sec feature was doing a check. That broke functionality.
            - As per the check, App Sec, assumed that all Tenants will be in CYR.
            - If not present, they'll raise an error and move onto other Tenants.
            - SDWAN only Tenants will NOT be in CYR.
        - Amit Chandak helped fix that.
        - After that fix, my own code change in previous MR caused regression.

    - One round of UIT with Jane. ZOS is publishing message to GCP but SDWANC
      is not consuming.

        - ZOS was sending two templates with *same* name in them.
        - ActiveMigVersion was set as Template Name. So, whenever we generate a
          Template, it always had Active Template name on it. During upgrade,
          ZOS sends 2 Templates to Terraform: Old and New. Both these had same
          name. To fix this, we changed 'create_dia_template.tf' file to have
          Template Version in its name.
        - This finally fixed the problem.

        Hi All,
        Need career advise for a family friend.

        If a person is let go on performance basis, will it show up in background checks for next job? This happened to a friend who is a Chartered Accountant working for small, family run, accounting firm in Salt Lake City of about 30 employees. She never had performance issues and was let go when they learnt she plans to relocate. She moved to Bay Area to be with Husband and had an offer from KPMG. KPMG's offer was revoked after background check with performance reasons. My friend received a copy of the report.

        Friend is in dilema that her future employment is severely affected due to this. She wants advise on how to handle future background checks.

        Thanks

        Action Items:
        ---------------------
        1) [Bhaskar/James] During Zworker upgrade, ZOS disables App Accel on
        Tenants, waits for a 'cool off' period and then upgrades Zworker. What
        will SDWAN upon receiving this message? What will SDWAN do to existing
        sessions? NOTE that SDWAN has active and backup regions also.


        2) [Bhaskar] In ZOS orchestration layer, have SDWAN UI make API call to
        ZOS for sending Certificate Names, just like PA use case. If the call
        is from SDWAN service then, ZOS will push the message to GCP Pubsub.
        This design pattern will be followed for all future SDWAN use cases
        (and perhaps other Clients in future).

        Hello Nick,

        Thank you so much for sending the propertyes my way. We did underwriting for Torrey Woods Apartments. Unfortunately, we cannot make an offer on this property for following reasons.

        NOTE: We assumed ProForma rents to underwrite. Did not use current rents.

        a) Expenses in the ProForma is too low (40%). In our underwriting, expenses came out to be 54%.
        b) Vacancy in the Proforma is 5%. We used 10% in our underwriting.
        b) Concessions/Loss to Lease/Bad Debt is 0% in Proforma. We used 5% in our underwriting.

        Due to these factors, property has negative cashflow of $13K/year. For this reason, we would not be making an offer.

        I apologize this took so long. I'll be sure to respond to you in 1-2 days going forward.

        I'll get back to you by Wednesday (July 3rd) with my decision on other properties.


        Thank you,

#sick
- Work:
    - Found 2 bugs and fixed them. They were caused by PRA changes.
        - AllTenants API built a "collection" of features if Request Body did
          not have the feature name. It missed ZDIA feature.
        - L7 checks were added to ZDIA code path that broke functionality.
        - These changes came in last 2 weeks and caused regression. My mistake
          is not to add Unit Tests. Ultimately, it is my responsibility to add
          UTs.
    - It was very difficult, but I fixed these bugs and unblocked James Huang
      and Jane Jojo (SDWANC).

- Warrior:
    - At night, I played a lot with SDA (Syndication Deal Analyzer) and I
      think, I improved it slightly for my needs.

#facial
- Work:
- Warrior:
- Minutiae:
    - At night, I had a heart-to-heart conversation with Madhavi, followed by facial :)
        - Told her that I am stretching myself thin and I prefer this style of
          living. Otherwise, I'll do "just enough" in my life and regret later.
        - Told her that her behavior is very very immature.
        - Every 2-3 days, she gets depressed and upset about something that I did not do.
        - She feels very lonely.
        - She wants me to talk to her and have proper conversation. I said she
          must seek that out from me. Not just sit and wait for me to do it.
          Not just the conversation, everything she wants from she, she should
          at least try to do that first and I'll respond more.

    - More than 1 hour conversation with Alok Ranjan.
        - Mostly about Priyanka Giri and how to handle her.
    - Property Managers Search
        - Joseph Deblasio, Real Property Management LoneStar
        - Lexi Teife and Matt, TRE Homes (They are on BP)
        - John Martin Ascension Realty Group
        - NARPM (National Assoc of Residential Property Managers)
            - https://www.narpm.org/find/chapters/?a=chapterinfo&chap=C016&submitted=true

            1. Do you mark-up maintenance and repairs?
            2. What does your screening process look like?
            3. Do you charge any fees if the unit is vacant?
            4. What are your management fees?
            5. What is the best way to communicate with your team and what options do I have?
            6. If I want to cancel my management agreement do I have to pay any fees?
            7. How do you determine the rent amount?
            8. How do you market vacant units?
            9. What kind of software do you use?

            1. Ask how many units they manage and how much experience they
            have. If it's a larger organization, feel free to inquire about
            their different staff qualifications.

            2. Review their management agreement. Make sure it explicitly
            explains the process for termination if you are unhappy with their
            services, but especially if they violate the terms of your
            agreement.

            3. Understand the fees involved and calculate the total cost for an
            entire year of management so you can compare the different
            managers. It may sound nice to pay a 5% management fee but the
            extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that
            charges 10% with no add-on fees. Fees should be clearly stated,
            easy to understand, and justifiable. If you ask the manager to
            justify a fee and he starts hemming and hawing, move on or require
            them to remove the fee. Don't be afraid to negotiate!

            4. Review their lease agreement and addendums. Think of all the
            things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them:
            unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit,
            lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking,
            etc.

            5. Don't just read the lease! Ask the manager to explain their
            process for dealing with maintenance or problem tenants. If they
            are professional, they can explain this quickly and easily. If they
            are VERY professional, they will have their processes in writing as
            verification that it is enforced equally and fairly by their entire
            staff.

            6. Ask to speak with some of their current owners and
            current/former tenants. You can also check their reviews online at
            Google, Facebook, or Yelp. Just remember: most negative reviews are
            written by problematic tenants. The fact they are complaining
            online might be an indication the property manager dealt with them
            properly so be sure to ask the manager for their side of the story.

    - Helped unblock Rajmohan. Helped clean up resources in GCP.
    - Created new VM instances for James Zhuang. Health Check is working on it.
    - Cleaned up about 30 zdia clusters and associated resources.
        - I wrote a python script to do this job.
        - Super happy with the result.

- Minutiae:
    - "Reserved" Toyota RAV4 Hybrid
    - Stayed up until 1am and folded clothes while watching NetSec All Hands
      presentation from Subhash Kodnad, Anupam Upadhyay, Scott Fanning. Very
      interesting presentation, showing *lot* of products and business. Lots of
      growth.
    - Folded tonnes of clothes. Super happy about it :)
    - Watched "Ninad Kamat" video/interview. He is a voice over artist, does
      dubbing for multiple actors in Bollywood.
    - Watched a video where Vishwanathan Anand interviewed many other Indian
      Chess masters, over a dinner: Humpy Koneru, Gokesh, Pragg and his sister

2024, Apr 16 (Tue)

- Work:
    - Raised MR for additional logs, code optimization, API input validations.
    - Clean up of dev04 unused clusters.

- Tax:
    - Trying to understand the tax notice I received from IRS (form CP2000):
    - W2
        - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6ZgdiZhyvU
        - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6jCZ7SvRFw
        - I sent following message to Venkat and Madhavi
            Rami,

            - I paid taxes on all the RSU that were sold for "Sell to Cover".
            - 1099-B showed $0 Cost Basis, but 1099 Supplemental showed correct Adjusted Cost Basis.
            - I got additional pay stub when RSUs vested. They showed the taxes that were witheld.
            - When filing taxes, Schedule D has $0 in all the "Short Term" and "Long Term" capital gains. Is it because I only looked at 1099-B when I filed the taxes and not at Supplemental Form?
            - I did not file Form 8949 in Year 2021.

            Next Steps:
            - Respond to IRS and attach Form 1099 Suplemental.
            - Attach pay stubs associated with the sale of RSUs.
            - Probably hire CPA to do this formally and correctly.

            But I'm confident I don't owe any taxes.



- Minutiae:
    - Woke up at 5:30am
    - Brought breakfast items from Safeway
    - Tony from Janitorial Service visited and quoted $180/visit for our house.

- Flute:
    - Session with Vivek Sonar ji (Hariprasad Chaurasia's student)
        - Loved the session. Very simple man. An ocean of knowledge. What a
          performer.
        - Got a ride with Atharva Amdekar, an IITG graduate from 2020.
        - Venue was at Abhijeet Deshpande's house in Fremont. Great family. Served
          home made lunch.
        - Joined Madhavi and Kids at Bala Vihaar and came back home with them.

- Minutiae:
    - Got knocked out after coming back from Bala Vihaar. Slept for 1.5 hours.
    - Sadhana in evening at 6pm.

2024, Apr 12 (Fri)
- Work:
    - Asked Umesh to merge the code involving Tenant association with zcluster.
        - I got very frustrated due to delay in getting this code in.
        - Asked to setup 1:1 with Vikram on Monday.

    - Had session with Rajmohan Jeevanandam (QA), Jane Jojo and Umesh Jain.
        - There was regression w.r.t `request_version` change. But actually, it was
          old data in dev03 that caused problems in provisioning new cluster.
        - Setup a working session and determined the issue. But bug must be closed.

- Minutiae:
    - Parents found that Akshay's Astrology is not good. Yelinaati Shani.
        - They performed Shani Sampootikarana + Ekadasa Rudrabhishekam.
        - We attended in the night up to 1am.

    - Went to see an Open House in Willow Glen area.
        - https://www.redfin.com/CA/San-Jose/1221-Delmas-Ave-95125/home/17290884
        - Listed for $1.4M, but sure it'll go for $1.8M
        - I did not like the floor plan. It has 1950 sqft, but did not feel like
          it. All 4 bedrooms are upstairs and it was very *box* like feeling.
        - The schools are not good. So, with $1.8M offer and private schools,
          it is equivalent to $2.5M offer (or thereof).

      IP addres.

#srinisaripalli

- Solved zcfg issues that Datapath team is facing
- Closed two of ZY tickets
- Investigating API changes for Datapath team


- Minutiae:
    - Srini Saripalli visited home to meet Mavayya garu. Great meeting him
      after many years. Loved hearing how he is taking care of his father and
      still running Radio Station business.
    - Watched 'Eric Williams' slide deck to raise $700K, with min of $100K

- Watched Youtube video sent by Eric Williams and watched their Slide Deck to
  raise $700K
    - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEWMaL685iM
    - Property in San Angelo, TX
    - Old name: Harvard House, New Name: District 52
    - 52 unit B class property
    - Purchase Price: $2.65M
    - Equity raise: $1.77M
    - Interest Rate: 3.48% assumable loan until 2031 (Fannie Mae/Freddy Mac)
    - Hold Period: 5-7 years
    - Waterfall: 7% preferred return followed by 70/30 split (Investor/Sponsor)
    - Projected Return: 1.9 equity multiple | 6-8% CoC | 17-19% AAR | 14-16% IRR
    - Min investment: $100K

    - Questions:
    ------------
    - Please elaborate "Equity Raise" of $1.77M?
        - Sponsors are assuming existing agency debt at 3.48% until 2031
        - Sponsors are raising $700K for capex. So, assumed debt is about $1M?
        - In 2031, interest rate "may" go very high. So, there is a hard
          deadline to sell the property before 2031. Is my understanding
          correct?

    - What is the median household income in the neighborhood of District 52?
      With 15% rent bump, rents will be around $1200/mo for 2bed unit. Is that
      correct? Is this realistic in comparison to household income for that
      demographic?

    - Personally, I do not like "interest only" financial arrangements for many
      many years because Sponsors are relying on "value add" play and sell the
      asset off. Since Sponsors are raising capital for capex do they need to
      do "interest only" payments until 2026?

    - San Angelo is Tier 3 or Tier 4 city. What if there is no buyer in 5 years
      for projected sale price? What is the fallback plan for Sponsors?

#gokarting

- Took kids to K1 Speed Karting
    - Was fun, but a bit expensive.
- Madhavi and Mavayya garu went to Costo and shopped tonne of stuff.

- Did lot of combing through logs. Here's my finding:
    - In zos.yaml, values are all pointing to dev02.
    - When running ZOS locally, we use zos.yaml as input config file.
    - So, Provision Service replies back to dev02 ZOS which does not have info
      we created in dev03 zos.
    - Dev02 ZOS does not find the job-id and triggers a delete immediately to
      Provisioning Service

- On Dev03, there were errors in ZOS
    - Secrets manager did not have zorchestrator-service-cert and -key files.
    - sdwan_ca_cert, sdwan_client_cert, sdwan_client_key did not have following
      Service Account added to them:
            customer@zycada-platform-dev-project.iam.gserviceaccount.com
            Added it and gave "Secret Manager Secret Assesor" Role

    - ScalingPolicy was missing in the payload sent to Provisioning Service.
    - Prov Serv sends the payload as-is to Terraform Cloud which failed because
      Min/Max Replicas were 0. No validation done.
    - In ZOS, I fixed it by sending correct scaling values.

- At night, with help from Bineesh K, got dev/zdia to dev03 pipeline working.
  Cosmos env (dev03) is ready.

    - Elijah Lung
        - He is from Grand Rapids, MI with agriculture background, had
          farmlands.
        - Owned Waste Management business that he ran for 11 years and sold.
        - Warrior since July 2023. His mentor is Sam Wells.
        - He has done few LP deals. But *just* got into 208 unit GP deal with

        - His focus is Sarasota, FL, Grand Rapids MI, Savannah, GA
        - Had an Airbnb in Sarasota, but neighbors did not like it. He sold it
          off in 6 months.

    - Sridhar Sannidhi
        - Introduced myself and Sashi.

- Minutiae:
    - Helped out Meenakshi Mittal with her System Design interview prep.
        - Not sure how I get pulled into these. I spent 1 hour with her coaching.
          Why is Vineet, her husband, not doing?

      visit for Aarushi.

- Warrior:
    - Met Hemant Pawar at Starbuck.
        - Eye opening visit.
        - Warrior program is not that big a deal as it is made out to be. Very
          little money in Syndication. Especially in last few years, returns
          have dwindled. GP's barely make any money.
        - Ask your coach and anyone to show the numbers: Year 1, Year 2, etc
        - Have deals of your own (JV, 15-20 unit multiplex etc).

Self Evaluation & Goals:

- Share highlights regarding the achievement of goals and milestones or the
  impact realized during this performance period. (Be mindful to note specific
  areas of success and opportunity.)


    Enable App Acceleration for SDWAN: Enable App Acceleration for SDWAN clients for ""Direct Internet Access"" traffic.
    Duration: Jan 2024 to Feb 2024
    Success: On time delivery of Phase 1, while learning new tech stack, new architecture and formalizing requirements and design specification in collaboration with SDWAN team.
    Opportunity:

    Load Balancer on Openstack: Bring up Load Balancer as a Service (LBaaS) on Openstack. After that, use this for Explicit Proxy (a.k.a Secure Web Gateway) Product.

    Success: Brought up IPVS based Load Balancer
    Opportunity:

    Mobile User (MU) on Openstack: Deploy, test and verify MU Firewalls on Openstack private cloud. The goal of this project is to bring down Prisma Access infrastructure costs.
    With help from the team, I've deployed and tested subset of MU functionalities and released the feature to internal teams for usage.
    Duration: Sep 2023 to Oct 2023
    Success:
    Opportunity:

    Flex Credits for CNGFW for Azure: This feature enables customers to purchase credits that are then applied to their firewall usage. As firewalls secure customer traffic, these
    credits are consumed and reported back to the customer. Flex credits play a fundamental role in purchase orders initiated by sales representatives. This feature is critical to
    the revenue generated by the CNGFW Product. I worked with Finance, Revenue, PLM, UAT and other teams to deliver this feature.
    Duration: Jul 2023 to Sep 2023
    Success: Excellent coordination and collaboration with many teams. Feature helped in realizing > $1.5M in first 6 months after GA.
    Opportunity: Gaining insights into the finance, sales, and revenue aspects of the product provides a deeper perspective on the features I am developing.

    CNGFW for Azure: Customer Support Portal (CSP): I delivered a highly complex component that enables Sales and Technical Marketing Engineers to open support tickets
    for the CNGFW product. While working from the India office, I coordinated with five functional teams based in Santa Clara and successfully delivered the feature.
    Duration: Jan 2023 to Sep 2023
    Success: Strong collaboration and execution resulted in delivering this highly complex feature.
    Opportunity: I sometimes delayed communicating risks to management. I need to highlight risks to management as early as possible.

#parasail #florida
- Raised PR for UpsertTenantFeature API handler

- Florida:
    - Vacated the Airbnb in Miami and drove to Key West.
    - Kids did Parasailing


2024, Feb 20 (Tue)
- Raised PR for 'GetTenantFeature' API
- Meeting with Jane Jojo, Umesh to debug SDWAN integration failure. There are 3
  issues.
    1) SDWANC is stripping 'X-Caller' headers when calling ZOS. So, ZOS throws
      403 Not Authorized error. Only SRE or DIA client can call this API.
        - Jane found an issue in their Java library.
        - cURL call is not seeing same issue.

    2) ZCluster creation is failing with an error in Terraform Template.
        - Umesh and I debugged and resolved this issue.
        - Merged the fix.

    3) Current deployment in Dev02 is crashing when calling 'GetTenantFeature'
      or 'CreateTenantFeature' APIs. This is due to License check that is
      happening.
        - Raised MR with changes for both APIs.


- Warrior:
    - Amar Nagireddy:
        - Amar worked 40hrs/week in first 2-3 months.
            - He learnt everything about syndication.
            - Then learnt everything about underwriting multifamily (CRE).
            - Then learnt underwriting development/construction.
        - Add as much value as possible to others. It comes back in some way
          (or may not come back, does not matter).
        - Amar is *completely focused* in 30min chunks.
        - He advocates keeping W2 and doing this on side.
        - Amar did free underwriting. Now deal flow is too much because of
          that.
        - High Performance calls/meetings is most useful.
            - Be open and share your doubts. Coaches help you in resolving
              them.

#rodkhlief #warriorprogram


- Minutiae:
    - Fridge repair guy. Fixed the leak.
    - I spoke with Shea Sliter from Rod Khlief team about Warrior Program.

    - My response to Shea Sliter
        1. If you were to get all of the help and guidance and support you need, what
        would you like to acquire in the next 12 months (size of deal, specific market,
        syndicated or not, A,B or C, properties, etc...)
            In 12 months, my goal is:
            a) Two commercial multiplex properties. A- or B+ class properties. Each
            asset is < $2.5M. Each property consists of 15+ units. Each property brings
            in $20K/month in Operating Income.

            b) The property will be in San Antonio market
            c) For immediate goal, I do not want to syndicate. The funds will be from
            1031 exchange of my existing properties.


        2. Long Term Vision: Imagine your financial life was perfect in every way. How
        much would you be earning? What would you do with your time and money? How
        would your life be different from what it is now? Why are achieving these goals
        so important to you? Please be detailed…

            a) How much would you be earning?
                - From Real Estate investments, I would be earning $100K/month in cash
                  flow, in 10 years from now (year 2034).
                - I may have paid off all the mortgages and own the assets free and
                  clear.

            b) What would you do with your time and money?
                * I and my family will be focusing on 3 things after that.
                    - My wife can quit her job, if she wants to. She can pursue her
                      entreprenuer and other dreams.
                    - I want to live in India and spend more time with my parents
                      (about 6 months in a year).
                    - Want to contribute time, money and skill to couple of charities
                      that I'm passionate about.

            c) How would your life be different from what it is now? Why are achieving
            these goals so important to you? Please be detailed…
                - I would be financially independent by age 55.
                - I can look after my parents living abroad (India) who do not wish to
                  relocate to US in their old age.
                - I no longer have to worry about W2 job and take care of their health etc.

            d) Finally, I would like to leave enough wealth for wife and kids that they
            can take more risks with their careers than I did.


        3. What do you foresee as your single biggest hurdle or challenge investing
        into multifamily? What types of help do you think you would benefit from in
        your business?
            I do not have any hurdles to reach my goal. But I see the rate of progress
            is slow and I cannot reach my goal by 2034 at this speed.


        4. Why is NOW the time in your life to take action towards this vision?
            - NOW, I have specific goals with target dates in my mind.
            - However, the time I've set for myself is very aggressive.
            - Having a knowledgeable group and mentors will help me achieve that goal.


        5. I also invite you to think about any concerns/fears/skepticism that you
        have, and turn them into questions below, so we can really figure out how to
        create breakthroughs for you.
        - Minor things that are on my mind:
            - Legal entities: LLCs, S-Corps, C-Corps etc in commercial REI space. I
              don't have any knowledge.
            - Tax: Poor knowledge on tax systems. How to reduce tax.
            - Lawsuits: Some reason, I fear some tenant will file a lawsuit and try to
              get all my wealth.



2024, Feb 12 (Mon)
- Merged more PRs (DAL layer, Job Provisioning code).
- Wrote UTs for code changes.
- UT was failing and I debugged for hours.
    - But when I ran from top level directory, using `make test`, tests ran
      successfully. This is confusing.

2024, Feb 05 (Mon)
- Made good progress on bringing up zcluster using Postman, but still not
  crossed finish line :(
- Meeting with Jane Jojo about "Feature Flags" API.
    - Call "Feature Flags" API after creating Tenant. This helps in creating VNI.
    - Use the API to enable/disable feature in a region.
    - Continue using existing API to create zclusters.
    - Send "X-Caller": "DIA-client" in header.

- Minutiae:
    - Went to work using Uber to spend more time on project.
        - Came back around 7pm
    - Visited YMCA with family at night.
        - Found lot of details about swimming.
        - Registered at YMCA ($150 joining fee and $80 or so prorated fee for
          February)
        - Aarushi:
            - can join Swim Team (highest level) after eval.
            - can join Swim Club (next highest level) if she cannot make it to Swim
              Team. Swim Team and Swim Club have different coaches.
            - "worst case", she can join Level 5 classes to get stroke correction
              etc.
        - Akshay:
            - YMCA currently has Group Lessons.
            - He is in Level 3.
            - Found a class on Monday and Wednesday at 6:30pm-7:10pm starting March
              25th. But the final fee was for "non-members". I already paid for
              membership.
    - Spoke to Amma on Phone at night. Dad is in Pune on work.
        - She spoke for 2+ hours complaining about Purni/Sita Pinni etc.
        - I understand it is hard on them to manage an adult at home. And Pinni
          complaining about Mom/Dad to other relatives is hard on Mom/Dad. But boy,
          complaining for 2+ hours is too much. I listened because there is no one
          else to listen to her.
        - She also spoke at length about Sarma Mavayya's history of forging
          signatures and being very careful signing any documents.

  Vihaar :( Aarushi went to the class.

2024, Feb 02 (Fri)
- SDWAN + App Acceleration standup
    - Must deliver APIs asap.

- VNI generation discussions
    - Umesh investigated and suggested "features flags" API to generate VNI.
    - But this API is primarily used to enable/disable a feature "globally".

    - Summary:
        - SDWANC will call new API ("feature flags" API).
            - This API call is to generate VNI. We want to keep VNI generation with ZOS.
            - Must pass new variable in payload (validate_licensing=false, default is true).

        - POST API to zclusters remain same.
- Worked late into the night. Got VSCode with local debugger working.
    - Attach Go Debugger (delve) to a process running locally.
    - Set breakpoint in the code.
    - Run Postman command and breakpoint is hit. Debug from there.
    - Followed this Video (amazing help)

2024, Jan 11 (Thu)

- Internal Meeting with Ganu, Vikram and Roy discussing ZOS APIs

    1) Decided to use existing internal zcluster APIs for SDWAN integration.
    Enhance with tsg_id, total_bandwidth, etc

    2) What exactly is compute_region_oid? Do SDWAN call neo4j database and get
    it?

    3) In Phase 1 of the project, Customer will have only SDWAN license and no
    PA license. Then, how is SDWAN tenant info propagated to neo4j, for ZOS to
    access?

    4) SDWAN gets compute region names from API call to RDS. Will they send
    compute_region_name or compute_region_id present in RDS? What is
    compute_region_oid?

    5) Download has more payload than request. So, whats' the purpose of
    ingress bandwidth? Must have download bandwidth from branch point of view.
    Branch is downloading XXX Gbps from zworker.

    6) Make sure, when multiple tenants make calls to create zcluster, make
    sure they are handled gracefully.

- Meeting (Impromptu) with Vikram Guleria and Umesh Jain about Datapath
  components and architecture
    - Interaction with ZCache.
    - Location of Cloud NAT.
    - Various VPCs and which components should be where?

        - Agentless Project (Zedge) and Prisma Access (Zcluster) co-exists in
          same VPC inside Service Project in GCP.
        - Agentless Project (Zedge) has a Cloud NAT through which traffic goes
          out to FW in Customer's VPC. The FW in Customer VPC sits behind a NLB
          with public IP address.
        - So, the Cloud NAT

@@@@@@@@@@  Lessons Learned for 2023  @@@@@@@@@@@@@
Personal:

Professional/Career:
    1) Communicate with Management often. Do not keep them in dark for too long.
        - Ex: Like Alok Ranjan, keep chatting with management. Also, I did not
          ask too many questions of Davi about CSP workflow. I discovered
          design issues sooooooo late in the process.

    2) Work in teams. I do well when working with one or more members of the
      team.
        - Ex: For Flex Credits, working with Alok and Bishnu improved my
          output.

    3) Identify risks early and call them out. Notify management immediately.
        - Ex: Although I recognized risks in CSP, I thought I would be able to
          deal with it myself.

    4) Focus on "local only" testing, using UTs or any other method. This
    accelerates development.
        - Ex: I did not write enough UTs at the beginning. Once I started doing
          UTs, development and bugfix rates improved significantly.

#veenakala #missionpeak #covid
- Dropped Veena, Kala at airport.
- Hiked Mission Peak and reached the top.
- Unpacking the boxes.
- Kala called saying he tested COVID positive.
    - Madhavi tested negative.
    - But Madhavi had to cancel her flight to Los Angeles (cost us $336).
      Alaska Airlines did not refund or give us credit.

2023, Dec 30 (Sat)
#veenakala #shipment #packages #santumavayya
- Shipment arrived from India (48 boxes, small and big).
- Kala and I visited Santu Mavayya's house in evening.
    - Took a tour of Mountain House. Beautiful and upcoming city. But commute
      is deal breaker for me.


2023, Dec 29 (Fri)
#veenakala #vimtalk
- Gave a Vim Talk to Kala and Madhavi
    - Talk was impromptu and I was unprepared.
    - Biggest lessons are:
        - I must use slides. Working off of text file in Vim does not cut it
          for me.
        - At the beginning of the talk very clearly state:
            - Who the target audience are.
            - What will they learn.
            - How long the talk is.


2023, Dec 28 (Thu)
#veenakala #PGE
- Discussions with Vikram Guleria. Focus only on SDWAN + Zycada integration.
    - Load Balancer is low priority.


- Minutiae:
    - Brought Kala to office along with me.
    - PGE bill is $352. Electricity is $202 and Gas is $150.
        - Space heater is main problem. Get rid of it.
        - On average, I'm using 20kWh/day of energy.
        - I'm on Peak Time-Of-Use plan, all days of the week.
            - Between 4pm-9pm each day, I'll pay $0.46/kWh
            - Outside of that, I'll pay $0.37/kWh
        - I can switch to Tiered plan or other Peak Time-Of-User plan (Mon-Sun,
          5pm-8pm peak)
            - But essentially, minimize use during Peak hours.

2023, Dec 27 (Wed)

#veenakala

- Fixed `exclude_openstack` option in `global_settings` table (PASRE-34580) in
  PROD2 environment.
- Finally got Provisioning Service to run locally


- Minutiae:
    - Read this article "Math Team" about students going through Math
      Competitions to get into good colleges. Touched me, but I'm not sure if
      there's another way for Aarushi. I'll probably not push Akshay so much.
        - https://benexdict.io/p/math-team
    - Read "Mitchell Hashimoto" from Hashicorp about on contributing to complex
      softwares
        - https://mitchellh.com/writing/contributing-to-complex-projects
        - Here are the tip:
            1) Become a User first. Play with *using* the software before anything.
            2) Build the project before reading the code.
            3) Learn how to run test suite.
            4) Learn "Hot-Path Internals" - take the "Trace Down, Learn Up"
              approach.
                - Trace Down:
                    - Take a small/tiny feature and run it. Trace down the code
                      path, files, line numbers etc. Do not try to understand
                      yet.
                    - Learn feature by feature.
                - Learn Up:
                    - Now, learn the system from inside out.
            5) Experiment and break things
                - Add logs.
                - Add tiny functional changes.
            6) Read and Reimplement recent commits
                - Check out the code to previous commit.
                - Repro the bug.
                - Put a solution yourself.
            7) Make bite-sized changes.
    - Veena, Kala and family visiting from Austin

    - Groceries
    - Blanket from Sridhar's house
    - Wasted time at night, thinking of practicing flute, but didnt.


2023, Dec 18 (Mon)
#termlifeinsurance

- Spoke with Bhaskar Bhupalam about abandoning PR where Openstack is enabled by
  default. Team decided this is not good idea.
    - Today there are 3 Prod environments: prod1/prod4/prod6
    - Most deployments are going in prod6 now.
    - Some *explicit* customer are deployed in prod4.
    - We got into trouble with Fedramp customers in past due to default
      settings. We want to disable Openstack for all Fedramp customers (using
      this setting) and enable explicitly using PASRE ticket.


- Watched 'Leeren Chang' video on "Vim as an IDE (VimConf 2020 Talk)".
    - Took lot of notes (in Vim.txt file)
    - Watched for an hour or so.
    - This talk is very good, very dense with info.

- Watched "A Little :help - Dan Phillips - Vimconf Live 2021"
    - https://youtu.be/LHGG-7TwKBk?list=PLcTu2VkAIIWyuX-yNe0KNSPR7wjS2lNKz

- Watched "Vim: Tutorial on Editing, Navigation, and File Management (2018)" by Leeren Chang
    - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-ZbrtoSuzw&t=1722s

- I spent sooooo much time watching Vim videos, because I had this goal of
  watching all downloaded Vim videos. Not sure if it is worth it, because ...
    - Videos are all unrelated and mish-mash of various Vim topics
    - Ultimately, I came to conclusion of using IDE (VSCode for Go and Pycharm
      for others). Main reason being debugging capabilities. But there's Neovim
      Video (downloaded) by TJ Devries on debugging using Neovim. But, overall
      IDE experience is very superior.
    - But still, I'll continue watching Vim videos as I've set this goal for
      myself by end of 2023.


- Minutiae:
    - Uber to office and back
    - Paid Prudential Term Life Insurance
        - $750K, $130/mo, 20 years
    - Transferred $7000 from KPCU to Wells Fargo with intention to pay towards
      Credit Card.

      there for first 2 quarters and so I got this amount refund.
    - Notified Dad about the refund.
    - Got LG monitor from Costco for $300 thinking I would save $150 from my
      current monitor. It does not have USB with PD (Power Delivery)? This is a
      deal breaker because external keyboard and mouse needs them. So, I've to
      return it :(
    - Stayed up late and fixed bicycle carrier/stand. Very happy with end
      result.
    - Paid off about $65K in HELOC


2023, Nov 28 (Tue)
- Spoke to Alok and Priyanka
    - Debugged RMG (Royal Mail Group) flex credits issue.

    @Davi Gupta, yes we can. 3 things are required:
        - event_type must be changed to AMEND
        - quantity must be changed to 1676 + 486 = 2162
        - end date must be changed. The 486 credits message came with Nov 9th, 2024 end date.
    Thanks to @Priyanka Giri for identifying all these.

    @Blake Weis, this is the payload we need to replay
    https://panw-rnd.slack.com/archives/GP4LQ0N84/p1701085237374119


- Watched following videos on IPVS. Lot of key takeaways
    - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFsJVV1btDU
    - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJ-A8LYriGI
    - Understand ARP issues deeply
    - IPVS comes with Analytics/stats. Figure out a way to ship it for
      analysis.
    - IPVS logs are not available for viewing.
    - IPVS cluster, for HA, can be done using BGP Anycast routing.
    - Keepalived comes built with IPVS for Health checks. It is Layer4 health
      checks.
    - IPVS works *before* pcap layer. So cannot do `tcpdump` and capture what's
      going on in IPVS.
    - IPVS supports address bundling using FWMark
        - Not fully sure what this is.
    - IPVS supports DNS load balancing
        - Not sure if we need this.
    - IPVS HA
        - Have BGP daemon running on each of IPVS nodes. They announce *same*
          IP address (VIP).
        - The router in front of IPVS will route traffic to either one of the
          IPVS nodes. Kinda load balancing IPVS nodes themselves.
        - BIRD/Quagga can be used to run BGP daemon.
        - BGP Anycast can be used.


- Minutiae:
    - Stayed home to accept sofa delivery from Living Spaces and other items.
    - Stock hit all time high ($277). Sold $35K worth of stock to pay off car
      loan.
    - Paid $1000 to Chase credit card.

    - Effective Tax Rate = Taxes Paid/Total Income
    - Go to https://decode.tax and upload old tax returns and they'll
      immediately tell effective tax rate. Not good idea.

#facial #ipvs #loadbalancer
- Load Balancer PoC started working. YAY! Thanks to Zycada team: Roy and Ganu.
    - IPVS with 2 'Real Servers' started working.
    - Must configure Virtual IP (VIP) on Real Servers, on loopback (or dummy)
      interface. This way, when they receive the packets, they know it is for
      them.
        - Zycada team asked us to disable ARP, but not sure why.
        - We must also not disable ARP for ALL interfaces.
    - On IPVS server, configure rules using internal IP address (192.168.xx).
      Do not do it for public IP or Real Servers.
    - On IPVS, we used 'Direct Routing', some times called 'Gateway Routing'.
      This is default setting. Other options are IP-IP or NAT (masquerading).

- Eric Platt and Karthik Kumar and I joined a call for auto scaling results.
    - On setting the threshold to 100% CPU and pumping the data plane traffic,
      all 6 CPU cores were running at 100%. But auto scale did not happen. In
      fact, the auto scale step function itself did not get triggered.
    - While the tests were running the threshold limits were removed/deleted from DB. Immediately the auto scale step function triggered.

- Regular kids drop and pick up and RSM.


2023, Nov 13 (Mon)
- Standup. Started writing Load Balancer document.
- Discussions with Alok Ranjan on AWS CSP.

- Combe customer issue - Debugging sessions with Veeresh H, Alok K, Blake W, Bishnu R.
    - Where did the BUY message go missing?
    - Opened a GCP ticket and asked bunch of questions on a call.
    - Got clue that there are 2 consumers on GCP subscription.
    - Used that info and confirmed that MP in West US region consumed the message.
    - Product is in the clear now. Finance team has to figure out how to enable Customer.
- Combe customer issue - update session with PLM (Sam Lee) and Finance etc
    - Lot of issues on Finance, Revenue side as well.
- Testing query_service lambda


- Vivek visited. Met him at Zscaler and also met Charles Bransi. Dinner with Vivek.

- GP Autoscale issue investigation
    - 1000 compute region is not being "picked up" during autoscale. Flow:
        0) gp_auto_auto_scheduler lambda
        1) Get `dr_feature_state` from `global_settings` table. It is set to `disable`
        2) Could not query the TraceMasterModelGlobal due to missing required keys. ???
        3) Insert following record into trace_master:
          tenant_id: 0
          trace_id: 968579eb-571d-4f2a-9ee6-1571e907a94d,
          type: AutoScaleUpdateSchedule
          type_id: 1695667541

          Successfully done: Row ID: 8375378
        4) SELECT compute_region_id, timezone FROM region_master where edge_location_region_id = compute_region_id
        These are where edge == compute. Schedule is updated in these regions.
            1000 is Compute region (OSP)
            200 is not Compute region (GCP)
        5) Check against LOCAL_UPDATE_HOUR env variable. If not set, only
        collect only those Compute regions which is 2AM local time. Obviously
        San Jose will not be picked during day time. It will be picked at 2AM
        on Tuesday.
- Vikram asked me work on `global_settings` table to add Openstack to `exclude_cloud` field.

GPGW Upgrade on Openstack - Status
-----
- Brought up GPGW with version: PA-VM-SaaS-10.2.6-c50.sb28_saas
- Successfully upgraded to version: PA-VM-SaaS-10.2.8-c50.saas
- Triggered upgrade workflow using gp_pinned_instance_upgrade_action lambda
- Validations:
    - New GPGW got vmid, serial_number, public_ip, node_fqdn.
    - Successfully connected to GPGW in Openstack using GP client on my laptop.

- Meeting with Ravi Bhavsar, Mohan Chandrasekar, Tejas Patel to clarify questions on GPFW
  upgrades. Asked following questions:
        1) During creation of GPGW, what goes into deciding to spawn a new GP
        Portal?
          - GPPT bring up is "hard coded". One in each theatre in Americas.
            Similarly across other regions of the world.
          - Ask Hao Long on exact flow. How GPPT and GPGW recognize each other.

        2) How does GP portal know (or have) list of GPGW currently running.
          - Sam as above.

        3) I have 2 GPGW and 2 GPPT in GCP. I'm not able to ping their Public
        IP (External IP) addresses from my laptop, why? But I'm able to ping
        Public IP of GPGW spun up in Openstack.
          - VMs were shutdown. Bummer.

        4) `node_fqdn` and `public_ip` on GPGW - what is their relationship.
        After upgrade, will node_fqdn be same as that on old GPGW? I found a
        GPGW that had NULL `node_fqdn`, but all other fields were present
        (vmid, serial_number, public_ip etc). What could have happened there?
          - saas_agent has a logic to compute `node_fqdn` and gets public IP
            from saas-infra. Then it registers with Route53 resolver. This
            applies to even GPGW on GCP and Openstack.

        5) Will public DNS servers be able to resolve this `node_fqdn`? When
        GPGW comes up for first time, who is assigning this `node_fqdn` and who
        is registering this with public DNS servers?
          - Yes. See above.

        6) Today, we have 1 GPGW per Tenant per region. If I want to support 2
        GPGW per Tenant, what and where should I investigate?
          - This is largely solved problem. GPGW do scale up. We have customers
            with more than 10 GPGW in some regions.



- CSP meeting for FUTURE_AMEND messages with Manish Misra, Raghav Bandla, Blake
  Weiss, Seshapani D and Davi G. Questions:

            Hello All,

            Here are the notes from meetings with IT and UAT teams regarding new asks for Flex Credits (FUTURE_AMEND, FUTURE_RENEW).

            Attendees: Seshapani D, Manish M, Raghav B, Blake W, Bhaskar U

            Recording: https://paloaltonetworks.zoom.us/rec/share/1knyIyyqqkwZZzsS5-azPIfdstLyXvEQ7tq0RHx6qgeaHw21vMhLag6qzyGlXaVg.zQpHgTY6ZD9qw145?startTime=1695413246000
            Passcode: ?g5S%S49Ms


            Applies to all event_types:
            ---------------------------
            - When FUTURE_RENEW or FUTURE_AMEND quoting happens, Product can expect to receive 3 messages:
                - On the day of order quoting with event_type = FUTURE_AMEND (or FUTURE_RENEW)
                - 3 days before order start date with event_type = FUTURE_AMEND (or FUTURE_RENEW)
                - On the start date with event_type = AMEND (or RENEW)
                - If the quoting happens less than 3 days, only two messages will come to Product.

            - Microservice is not expecting any ACK for FUTURE_AMEND or FUTURE_RENEW. Product can even drop/ignore the message. However, it is good to have this for auditing purposes. Other products, use FUTURE_AMEND/FUTURE_RENEW to apply the credits on the start date. They do not rely on AMEND/RENEW messages.


            RENEW, FUTURE_RENEW:
            --------------------
                - FUTURE_RENEW is sent with a future start date and usually before the current contract expires. This is to maintain continuity of the Customers license.
                - RENEW message is sent at 12AM PST on the start-date of the contract.
                - Payload for both these messages will be exactly like BUY payload, except that start-date and end-date will change and quantity can also change.
                - However, for the RENEW message, response from Product is captured in this Confluence page. Only one message must be published to Microservices.
                    - https://confluence-dc.paloaltonetworks.com/display/NOVA/V1.4#V1.4-Renew:
                - RENEW cannot come before a BUY message. If it happens, throw an error message.
                    - https://confluence-dc.paloaltonetworks.com/display/NOVA/V1.4#V1.4-Error:
                    - event_type: "ERROR"
                    - error_type: "bad_input"
                    - response_description: "error description"
                    - request_payload: "attach payload"
                - Multiple FUTURE_RENEWALs are not supported.



            AMEND, FUTURE_AMEND:
            --------------------
                - FUTURE_AMEND payload is exactly like AMEND payload.
                - No acknowledgement is required after receiving FUTURE_AMEND.
                - Ignore the start dates on the AMEND message. Other Products ignore it. "Blindly" apply the Quantity and End-date from AMEND to the current contract.


            EXPIRE:
            -------
                - When a contract is completed, MS sends an EXPIRE message.
                - A customer cannot cancel any order (FUTURE_AMEND, FUTURE_RENEW) after paying for it. There is a separate process for it. So, need not worry about receiving FUTURE_AMEND, but not receiving AMEND later.


            Thank you,
            Bhaskar

GPGW Upgrade on Openstack - Status
-----
- Brought up GPGW with version:
- Triggered upgrade workflow using version:
- I triggered this from AWS lambda function gp_pinned_instance_upgrade_action
- Found an issue in ami_mapping table. The version I upgraded to was present in
  Openstack (Shikhar uploaded it). It was present in version_mapping, but not
  present in ami_mapping. Because of this provisioning_service failed to create
  Terraform script and deploy. Vikram pointed out.
- Upgrade started working after that fix.


- I've lot of questions:
    - How does GP portal know (or have) list of GPGW currently running. What's
      the mapping between them.
    - node_fqdn and public_ip on GPGW - what is their relationship. After
      upgrade, with node_fqdn remain same? I found a GPGW that had NULL
      node_fqdn, but all other fields were present (vmid, serial_number,
      public_ip etc). What could have happened there?
    - Will public DNS servers be able to resolve this node_fqdn to IP mapping?
      Who is registering this FQDN to DNS servers?
    - If I want to support 2 GPGW per Tenant, what and where should I investigate?




2023, Sep 20 (Wed)
- Trying to understand why GPGW did not come up.
    - In Orchestrator logs there is an error: `ddns_version` field.
    - Team is fixing it. I'll redeploy GPGW.

- GPGW was not coming up on dev10. Emergency team meeting to resolve the issue.
  It was resolved by Justin and Shikhar late at night.


2023, Sep 19 (Tue)
- Debugging session of a CSP AMEND issue.
    - We are seeing 2 messages (FUTURE_AMEND and AMEND). We ignore the first.
    - AMEND has a different start date.

2023, Sep 08 (Fri)
- Identified an issue in Staging and worked with SRE to resolve it.
    - WALLE-1121
    - In an earlier WALLE-1039, we decided to have non-Prod settings in
      Staging. It appears that SRE updated it in only one slot.

- Investigated request from Ravi Pegada
    - Customer has a 'Classic Table' in their Log Analytics storage.
    - They want to change it to 'Azure Table'. Is there a plan for us to do it?


- Met Deepthi K J from DP team and this is the feedback I received:
    - Instead of 'show system disk-usage', collect output of 'show system resources' and use `available` memory metric. It has more significance.
    - From Jailed environment, inside billing plugin, we cannot run 'show system disk-usage'.
    - Move the code to a common module, such as VM plugin agent, where available memory is set as SDB variable. Call that variable in Azure plugin.
    - In VM plugin agent, call the 'show' command every 5th minute instead of every minute, to reduce the resource constraints.
    - Showed how to run UTs using `vm-dev` tool.
    - This PR must be raised on `main` branch first. Then merged one-by-one into various branches, including nebula. This is recommended process.

----
- Operational Metrics coding
- Leak of QueryId and ReportId. Get it merged.
- Thermite Cert FS write up.

- Take Home Warranty
-----------------------------------------------------------------
- Prepared a lot for meeting with Chandra R and Shiva on CSP for AWS. In the
  end, it turned out to be simple meeting to understand how CSP Account Id is
  got in Azure and can we do similar thing on AWS.

    ---------------------------------------------

    - Prepared following notes for the meeting:
            Agenda:
            - Overview of how CSP works in AWS today.
                - Relationship between CustomerId, Tenant, Organization and Users.

            Questions on PRD requirements
            ----
            PRD Task: Customers can choose to set up a CSP account later.
                - How exactly does this workflow pan out?
                - When Customer chooses to register later for CSP, how will they do?

            PRD Task: Get Customer/Company's address and pass it to IT. How to do it? Today, we
            run Business Analytics on Tableau. Company address is available there. This
            data is also on *some* data lake (CDL?).
                - Is Tableau the source of truth for billing address? How quickly is this data
                  available for CSP to consume?
                - Today, are there APIs for CSP to call in Tableau?
                - Should this be obtained from AWS?


            PRD Task: A banner informing users to register with CSP.
                - CNGFW must provide an API to let UI know if a Customer registered with
                  CSP or not.

            PRD Task: Users trying to link Panorama must register with CSP first.
                - I'm unfamiliar with Panorama + CSP integration. Overview?


            PRD Task: If a new user is added who chooses to map to CSP Tenant, all
            existing users on Tenant also need to be auto registered.
                - This is CSP teams work. But how will they do this?

            PRD Task: All Tenants must be migrated from Essential to Enhanced/Premium plan.
                - This is unfamiliar area for me.
    ---------------------------------------------

- Wrote up a document for Chandra and Shiva with CSP workflow.

- Investigating a Prod issue for Tenant: 1f8aefe1-eac8-4532-9c55-115d46c686ee
    - SubscriptionId: 43b3cddd-3ae6-42ab-a26f-51a3e22d91a8
    - BillingId: 67604ef0-5c8e-47e5-cc12-9262800b3914

    - But CSP Status is not changing.
    - When looking through logs, I see following:
        - "BillingIds: set() exists in CSV report."

    - WALLE-1042:
        - Create a new GCP subscription. Have a *future proof* name.
        - Ask Blake to send the messages.
        - Pull messages from UI and make sure messages are received.
        - Update WALLE where changes need to be made:
            - MP Func App
    - Multiple messages on Slack channel issue:
        - Product is *probably* publishing twice with billing address.
        - IT is replaying it back.
        - Product is NOT idempotent. This is causing the publish/consume cycle an infinite loop.
    - Did a code review with Davi for following PR
        - https://bitbucket.paloaltonetworks.local/projects/FWAAS/repos/fwaas/pull-requests/7241/overview

- Meeting with Satish Kumar Ganesan from GNS team
    - They do not have anything in Azure
    - They have a "GNS Hub" in each cloud.
    - They expose an interface to which clients forward the logs/metrics.
- Have been testing AMEND
- Meeting with Alex Berdan (GNS), Pradeep Kumar Vijaya Kumar (Garuda) and my team.
    - GNS has a Hub in Azure, in CentralUS and USWest2 regions (and may be more).
    - GNS will give a private address range (CIDR). CNGFW must put their Event Hub in this subnet.
    - CNGFW must route the metrics to the private endpoint given by GNS.
    - After CNGFW does pricing analysis, please share with GNS and Garuda. It
      will help GNS to figure out how to route traffic from GNS Hub on Azure to
      GCP (using express route, cloud interconnect, etc)

    Next Steps:
        - AI on CNGFW:
            - Put Event Hub in a Vnet and make sure it is *still working*.
            - Update GNS ticket with further details.
            - Update FS document with diagrams and architecture.
            - Do analysis on the pricing difference between Datadog and Garuda
              with above architecture in place.
                - This helps in understanding costs.
        - Once CNGFW is ready
            - Setup meeting with Infosec (Gurinder Singh, Surendra Narang), GNS
              (Alex Berdan, Satish Ganesan) and others

      secret used to talk to GCP.
    - Helping Manasa Rengineni with CSP workflow.
    - SOLUTION: Environment variables in QA environment, for MP function app
      were pointing to production. Some were pointing to Staging. This mix and

          "Live Community" page.

- FWAAS-8719 - SupportInfo on 2nd FW not showing up
    - Closed it as ADO 649 is created for LIFTR.

        Thank you for attending Internal FS review and giving your feedback.
        1. How will Customer know when Thermite Cert fetch failed (or device registration)?
        >> For CloudSec, the health status changes to Yellow color. There is no easy way to indicate this in NetSec.
        2. Is there a provision to switch (Support Account Id) for existing Firewalls?
        >> This is WIP and will likely come in next release. Davi and team are in discussions with CSP/IT team to understand the unlink/de-register workflow and design a solution.

2023, Apr 13 (Thu)
----------------------------------------------------------------
                        COMPLETED
    - Create mock data and give to Parvathy
----------------------------------------------------------------
- Thermite Cert Tasks
    Design 1: Using Service Bus
        - MP Tasks:
            - Create Service Bus on MP with Blue and Green topics.
            - Write DB trigger function on `Subscriber` table. Only processes.
              `cspTenantId` and ignores everything else.
            - How does DB trigger function know which topic to push to?
              Environment variable with SRE_TENANTS on MP function app.
        - CP Tasks:
            - Service Bus triggered Azure function to consume message.
            - Write to all FWs in that `Resource` table for that TenantId and SubscriptionId.
            - First time sync between DBs:
                - If "Firewall Function App" was down and could not consume messages in Service Bus.
                - When Firewall Function App comes up, it would have lost all messages.
                - A sync between MP and CP CosmosDB is required.
            - Writes to `Resource` table triggers Azure Function
                --> Resource --> DB Trigger --> Orch

    Design 2: Timer tiggered Azure Function in CP
        - CP Tasks:

Dev complete and QA handoff on May 8th


High Level Workflow:
--------------------
FW Bootstrap and CSP Tenant Id is available in CNGFW:
    - On bootstrap, FW always calls Access Broker (ACB) to register the device and fetch Thermite Cert.
    - ACB successfully does both.

FW Bootstrap and CSP Tenant Id is NOT available in CNGFW:
    - On bootstrap, FW always calls Access Broker (ACB) to register the device and fetch Thermite Cert.
    - ACB returns an error that CSP Tenant Id does not exist.
    - FW will continue functioning and will be notified when CSP Tenant Id is available in CNGFW.

Bootstrap includes both cases - new FW creation and autoscale.


Unregistered running FW and CSP Tenant Id becomes available:

CNGFW can do QA handoff on May 8th, Monday
Dev Tasks
    - A timer triggered Azure function running every, say, 10 mins.
    - A new container in CP called: TenantDetails (containing CSP Tenant Id)
    - AzF checks `TenantDetails` for Tenants with missing CSP Tenant Id. For those tenants:
        - Lookup MP Subscriber table and update `TenantDetails` container with CSP Tenant Id.
        - Update `Commit` table with CSP Tenant Id. Add new `action` to this workflow to send CSP Tenant Id to FW instances. This is very similar to existing workflow.

    - Still to flush out details
        - Who populates TenantDetails table first time?
        - Blue/Green scenarios, are all edge and transition cases covered?

    - Unit Tests

Integration Testing

FS Review (?)

Demo: On or before May 8th




2023, Apr 12 (Wed)

- Design Discussions: Thermite Certificate MP to CP control flow.
    - with Davi and Anant.
    - We must do PoC of MP to CP service bus + topic creation.
    - PoC of flow between CP to FW, with new notification message.

- I've been trying to get my UTs to work.
- Watched Moshe Zadka's tutorial on pytest + mocking

2023, Apr 11 (Tue)
- Thermite Cert design discussions:
    Date: April 11th, 2023 (10am IST)
    Attendeeds: Karthik K, Yita C, Ramesh P, Anant S, Bhaskar U

    - Proposed workflow when `cspTenantId` becomes available looks good. Use `AntiVirusUpdate` pipeline to implement this.
    - Do not send `cspTenantId` in User Data. It'll trigger a rolling upgrade. There's some uncertainty if this is correct. But the team agreed there is no need for FW to know `cspTenantId`, at least for now
    - Plugin prefers NOT to call Access Broker if CNGFW does not have cspTenantId because this will increase boot up time. This results in two workflows:
        - cspTenantId is not available during FW bootstrap but becomes available later:
            - When `cspTenantId` becomes available, write it to the Resource table.
            - A new 'pipeline', which is very similar to AntiVirus update, will send notification to FW.
            - On FW, this will trigger Device Registration and Thermite Cert creation workflow.
        - cspTenantId is available during FW bootstrap:
            - if cspTenantId is present in the Resource table, along with FW create, send a notification to FW trigger Device Reg and Cert fetch.
            - The APIs provided by IT are synchronous, blocking APIs. So, Access Broker calls will be blocked until response is available.

    @Karthik Krishnan Chandran, @Yita Chung, @Ramesh Pavadai, @Anant Raj Singh are there any loose ends we need to close?

- Discussions with Bishnu about logprofile doubts. How to keep DB changes backward compatible.
- Added retry mechanism in API calls to Marketplace.
    - Access Token, Query Id, Report Id, Report Generation

- Adding more UTs to CSP.
    - Stuck in getting first one working.

- Pickup Akshay from Prestige Mayberry. OMG, it took 3 hours to drive there and
  back, with a visit to Gas Station.


- Meeting with MSFT team about CSV files
    - DateAcquired meaning.
    - Missing data in 3/6 months CSV report.
    - Discrepencies between column names:
       - MarketplaceSubscriptionId != BillingId

    Notes:
        - Explanation for `DateAcquired`: This field is "Date when Customer was
          Acquired" for the first time Customer could have purchased _any_
          Azure product. For all entries in the CSV file, this value is will
          remain constant for that customer.
        - TIMESPAN of 6_MONTHS or LIFETIME applies to `DateAcquired` field.
          That's why we were not seeing results for on 6_MONTH query.
        - 'Marketplace Subscription Id' in FW UI page is showing up as
          `ReferenceId` in CSV file.
        - ReferenceId's are missing in CSV file when Marketplace Subscription
          Status: NotStarted. This *may* be an issue for PAN, but Bhaskar to
          confirm with Davi and share here.


2023, Apr 04 (Tue)

2023, Apr 03 (Mon)
- Shiva in full panic mode that CSP is on fire.
    - Having hard time managing perception about my work.
    - Long conversations with Alok R that management thinks poorly of me.
    - Unfortunately, Shiva thinks badly about my work and I feel the opinion
      was very quickly formed.
    - I've to get out of this negative spiral of poor performance. I'll no
      longer focus on my own performance, but focus on delivering results with
      high quality. Things will take care of itself.

- Demo dry run at 9:30pm. Found issues on CSP side.
    - CSP: Activation email not received.

#hyderabad #bengaluru
- Return to Bangalore.

- Meeting with Davi, Shiva:
    - Issues with CSP so far.
    - Changes in Azure AD <--> Okta <--> CSP. Okta cannot have dynamic bookmark
      link to redirect to Azure AD. So, design change. Now call CSP directly.
      This should make design easier and same as AWS and vm-series.


- Slack messages exchange with Madhava:
    1. 48 hour delay: @Davi Gupta is saying we can directly send the message to
    the topic with PANW MP billing details. This is ok for initial CSP demo but
    subsequent demo from our team we need to have this done via portal.

    Madhava, what Davi meant is this. For next demo, we will do it from the
    Portal. But, we will send mock billing address to IT/Microservices to
    generate CSP Serial Number and CSP Tenant Id. There will be another demo at
    end of April. That'll be with 48 hour constraint in place. We will do that
    with *actual* billing address.

    2. PaloAlto domain email address not accepted by CSP - We are planning to
    use dummy domain address . This might work for sign up flow . (ie. New CSP
    account & user creation) but we are not clear how we will test existing
    user logining on to CSP from portal afterr sign up is done from dummy
    domain.  @Davi Gupta mentioned CSP UI experience will be modified but I am
    not sure if that is a concrete plan.

    We must ask CSP team for this.


    3. We have CSP on-boarding workflow ; but there is no details about
    customer off-boarding; How are we going to remove the customer from CSP
    side. Not sure if this is an actual prod requirement. But because we have
    only 1 tenant to test it we might excercise this flow as part of our
    testing.

    This is no different than CSP off-boarding in AWS or other projects. I don't think this is priority for us now.

    4. @Shiva Chikkamath - I remember in last program meeting we concluded
    there will be three demos. Can you please list them out here with the
    dates, content planned and the owner for these demos.  - cc @Maheshwar
    Kannan

    There are two demo's planned.
        - Demo1: E2E without integration with Marketplace API. So, mock billing
          address will be passed to IT/Microservice. Planned as soon as
          Hanfords team is ready.

        - Demo2: E2E with integration with Marketplace API. We will demo with
          real billing address in this demo. Tentatively end of April.

- Spending lot of time triaging integration test failures.
  - Helped with Sourav Kundu's issue. He root caused it to Alok's billing issue.
  - Identified there is a UT failure in Billing code.

- Reading up about pytest parallel execution.
  - Use pytest-xdist tool.
  - Took few benchmark tests.


- VTeam Summary - 1 (Jan 20th, 2022)
  1. Some integration failures are root caused. Some of them are infra issues and we have JIRA for them (5881, 5884)
  2. Requesting Devs to root cause failures before doing `RUN BUILD`. Please leave a comment on PR with reason for failure. Create JIRA ticket if it's a new issue.
  3. A PR from azure_dev (tag c415) to release/1.1 had missing commits (atleast 2 commits). This caused Integration failures. We must revisit how we are pulling changes from azure_dev to release/1.1. We declined the PR.
  4. One PR failed UT tests. Dev fixed and rerun Integration tests.

          granted on merit and availability of seats.
        - Admission process for classes 1 to 7 is conducted before granting
          admission.
        - An annual fee increase of 10 to 15 percent is effective to offset the
          increasing expenditure by way of salary, maintenance, material and
          other expenditure. National Public School East is a private unaided
          self-financing institution.
        - If an intimation is not received from the school, it should be
          presumed that there is no vacancy during the year and no separate
          intimation will be sent to the applicants who are not selected.
        - I have read the registration form of National Public School, East and
          I fully agree to abide by them as long as my child is a student at
          this school if selected.


- Meeting with Davi. Suggested improvements to FS document.
    - Don't  use `d /Users/bupadhyayula/Notes
    cd /Users/bupadhyayula/practice
    ed --force flag.
    * Misunderstood service_version and version in cmdline argument to
      scheduler.py. How did it work during 1.5.0 testing?
    * FW's were shutdown (nightly thing). Power on and test.
    * CommitAll was failing. Figured it's an issue with: security policies,
      cloud transformation. Debugged with Bhoop Singh & Soundarya
    * Finally, conclusion was to upgrade Panorama to 9.0 from 8.1
    * I'll not do it. Just delete security policy and CommitAll is now working.
    * HA state is established.

- After above flow, got called by QA that MU onboarding is failing. Fortunately,
  it's not. Deployment Manager took very long time.

- Resume testing step function using scheduler.py
    * STF was failing right off the bat. Could not understand why. Consumed
      couple of hours and figured that ${account} should be replaced with actual
      number.
    * Simranjit gave code for his part.
    * Made good progress on Unit Testing code. More fixes (minor) needed.

- Many discussions with QA about CYR-9872 bug. We have to put in a fix to enable
  QA to switch between 1.5.0 and 1.5.1.
- Worked on a DIT-5446, where boto3 credentials are failing on AWS FW. Talked to
  AWS support and found that it's underlying hardware/VM issue.
- Spent lot of time understanding CYR-9872 and how it's happening. Figured out
  call stack and realized we cannot support this for QA easily.
    * So, I put a setting/value combo in global_settings table.
    * Orchestrator will read it and decide to execute 1.5.1 code or not.

  following:
    * old_region and region must reflect proper values in cust_topo.
    * Osaka (1.5.0) -> Osaka (1.5.1) -> Tokyo must keep FW in Tokyo.
    * Then, moving it back to Osaka should kill old FW and create new FW. This
      is not happening.
    * All other edge location changes are working.

2019, Dec 11 (Wed)
#carpetshampoo #WFH
- Up at 2am or something. Slept again at 5am.

- Identified issue in logger.py file that was NOT printing file names.
- Tried to understand workflow for cust_topology redesign.
- Tested MU deletion bug (CYR-9772) where dynamic instance is not getting
  deleted. It is indeed happening, but I still don't know why. Will fix later.


2019, Dec 10 (Tue)

- Meetings with Prabhakar on providing spot fixes for CYR-9747 (edge relocation
  issue). Lessons to be learnt here and made a note.
    * Focus on delivering feature, with quality.
- Looked in to changes that must be merged in to kiev saas. Everything is
  there.
- Side project: Update dbaccess clientlib API to have 3 retries on connection
  timeout.
    * This requires testing
    * I looked in to 'p4 shelve' for this, but not too happy with solution

- Autoscale bug (CYR-9772). QA env (rundeck itself) is in messy state. It cannot
  pull latest builds. Therefore, my fixes for 9763 (ensuring double quotes)
  could not be applied and tested.


2019, Dec 9 (Mon)
#guruji

- Meetings with Prabhakar and PLM (Saurabh Dixit) about 9747 bug. Release date
  is moved to Jan 7th. So, redesign DB to fix all issues. This includes:
- Worked on 9763, where egress_ip_list was written with single/double quotes
  that's messing up in saas_agent.
    * Understood JSON module and figured solution
- Committed code in main, devel2 branches.


ADD:
    * add 'old_region' column in cust_topology in alter_tables.sql file.
    * Any change to location in Panorama config, will add old region in this
      column and new region in 'region' column.
    * 'process_onboarding' step function must populate this column in
      cust_topology.
    * 'check_region_change' method in orchestrator.py must be fixed to reflect
      it.

MODIFY/DELETE:
    * Undo new column (past_compute) to region_master table.
    * Undo 'check_region_change' method in orchestrator.py
    * Undo 'past_compute' field in CustNodeModel

- Up at 4am and watched iOS videos.

- Pair program with Tejas and resolved 9686 blocker bug (4 issues found while
  deleting and edge location).
- Punted 9747 to Prabhakar.
- Spent lot of time analyzing new design to fix 9686:
    * We must have 'old_edge_region' column in cust_topology table.

2019, Dec 4 (Wed)
#warroom #office #guruji #facial
- Watched Youtube video about 20+ developer channels that Traversy Media guy
  follows
- Dropped Guruji off to Shailendraji's home.
- Facial at night. Must reduce and/or have more self control.


- Up at a Godly hour (2am) and watched iOS videos.
- Responded to couple of emails and setup early morning meeting.
- Quite intense meeting for 2 hours addressing following topics:
    * Remapping of new edge locations for 1.6.0 (19 edges)
    * List all tasks involved for that
    * Tejas agreed to look at R53 entries issue. If an MU is deleted from an
      edge, it's R53 entries is not getting deleted.
    * Discussions with Nilesh, Julian Zhong, and QA team about changes to
      gpclient_region_external_mapping and types_master table.
    * Suggestions were made to changes I did. I undid them and committed to main
      and devel2 branches.

- War Room with Tejas Patel and Madhava to get following:
    * Deleting an edge location should delete its r53 entries and forwarding rules.
        - Tejas had code in local env that was not checked in.
        - After checking in, this issue is resolved.
    * Old compute advertises r53 entries for all edge regions. So, if a new edge
      is coming up after upgrade, it must first delete old r53.
    * Did PoC on QA environment. Tested thoroughly and got code working.
    * Tejas did all the work. I was pretty much shadowing him, but very useful.

- Towards late evening, QA onboarded MU for us to test. But MU failed due to
  client-cert-fetch issue. Blocked on it.

- I triaged and sent a patch to Krupal Joshi to review.


2019, Dec 3 (Tue)
- Had to leave work early to take care of kids.

- Tested, with QA's help. Ran into Deployment Manager issues (which Simranjit
  fixed).
- IT/CSP issues prevented bringing up gateway in QA environment. This was
  resolved late in the day.
- Madhava found that NAT policies and egress_ip_list are getting deleted on
  removing an edge location. But not R53 entries and Forwarding Rules.


2019, Dec 2 (Mon)

- Examined prior commit in to logger.py file. I don't like output. It's no
  longer giving file names (just logger.py). It must be changed.
- CL 938273 is responsible for the change.

- Solving CYR-9674 (Use public_ip_pool of latest compute that edge belongs to).

- Meeting with Simranjit and he took CYR-9674 and I'll work on CYR-9686
    * Was a brutal talk/assessment of my work. Not sure what to do. It was
      complete incompetence on my part.
    * He was clearly upset that we did not test MU.
    * I blanked out or something and missed testing MU side of things.

- QA found build issues at night and I tried to help. But no progress.

#deployment #production #release #propertytax
- Madhavi and kids are not happy with staying late at work
- But tried to make up for it, somehow, by helping Madhavi with Kitchen cleaning
  etc.
- Paid property tax for entire year(2019-2020). From July 1, 2019 to June 30,
  2020.


- Deployment rollout to internal customers.
- Various tests passed.
- Stayed till 12/midnight at work, doing production release. Quite inefficient
  approach.
- Traffic loss still exists after modifying Step Function (my HA failover code).
- Analysis revealed two issues:
[1] * ha_state is updated in DB _independent_ of commitAll
    * If commitAll happens AFTER ha_state update, all sessions will not be in
      sync
    * Due to that ipsec-sa, tunnels etc are not present in Passive FW.
    * When Forwarding Rules are migrated to Passive FW, there will be traffic
      loss till all sessions are in sync

[2] * Some intricate differences between cold session sync and hot session sync.
    * This has effect on ipsec key exchanges and hence tunnel establishment.
    * Mingfei from Shu Lin's team says it's known issue and we must work around
      it.

- Proposed solution, at end of long debugging session is:
    * Increase "WaitSessionSyn" time from 180s to 420s
    * Make above change only for PwC and keep it 300s for others

- Lot of career guidance/advise to Samhita and Madhava. I hope it helped them
  and I did not *over talk* as I like hearing myself talk.
- Tested check_ha_sync and trigger_ha_failover lambdas
- In check_ha_sync output of SQL queries ha_state of VMs were criss-crossing.
  So, HA sync test was failing.
- While testing trigger_ha_failover, I accidentally put Passive FW in suspend
  state. Recovered it and continued testing. Finally, this is working.
- Created new step function and changed worker.py to call it.
- *Some* bug in new step function. Especially verification of HA failover.

#facial #chanting #telugu #marma #chitra #swimming #birthday #ranvit
- First Telugu class at Chinmaya Mission. Hope something big happens from here.
- Divya's (neighbor) parents visited briefly.
- Akshay's friend, Ranvit's birthday. Madhavi took him there. House is in South
  San Jose.
- Swimming with coach Aaron for Akshay after birthday party.
- Madhavi went for Marma at Chitra's house at night 8pm and came at 11pm.
- Facial at night. Madhavi needed rest after Marma, but I was selfish.


2019, Oct 18 (Fri)
- Got super mad at Madhavi for kids being late. We stayed till 9am

- Meeting with Nilesh to understand how HA works between FWs. Key take aways:
    * FWs in AWS, vmid remains same as image upgrade can be done on it.
    * FWs in GCP, vmid is diff as new instance must be spun up.
- More notes:
    * saas_agent in each FW get it's network config from instance_master.
    * SA commits that config in its FW.
    * HA daemon (has some name), knows it's peer FW and establishes HA
      (active-passive pair) using some algo.
    * During upgrade of AWS FW, "in place" upgrade happens. saas_agent will
      update instance_master with it's network config.
    * This triggers following workflow:
        1. a procedure or trigger
        2. which invokes a lambda
        3. that causes network config update written to SQS
        4. An SNS to Active FW
        5. Which is committed locally
        6. HA daemon uses this to send heartbeats to new Passive FW
- Next Steps:
    * Understand if there are any stored procedures on instance_master table.
      See if it's related to my understanding above.
    * This is more or less confirmed. mysql_trigger_to_sns.py




2019, Oct 17 (Thu)
#smartgrowth #pranavpatel #shwetal #anya
- Purchased Smart Growth's Developer Academy course for $1500. I better justify
  this.
- Reached home 6:15pm, Sadhana. Pranav Patel and family stopped by briefly. Nice
  to meet them all.

- Read other threads in Orchestrator:
    * main.py
    * Bringup, Orchestration
- Started looking in to RN/SC upgrade step functions. Specifically:
    * fw_upgrade - step function
    * Makes use of following lambda:
        - soft_upgrade_fw_action -> upgrade.py -> soft_upgrade/fw_action.py
        - soft_upgrade_fw_verify -> upgrade.py -> soft_upgrade/fw_verify.py
- I'm figuring out *how* step functions upgrade RN/SC. All details are not
  clear, but working through.
- Meeting with Xingsi Zhong to understand Step Functions and what they do during
  upgrade. He documented heavily the workflow of Step Functions.



2019, Oct 16 (Wed)
#REI #facial #smartgrowth #chrisporto
- Lot of reading online. Created a new group for IK Grads (ikgrads@groups.io).

- Attended REI meetup (Chris Porto of Smart Growth)
- Went home late at 10pm
- Facial at night.

- RN/SC Upgrade script got postponed from 1.5.0 release. Perhaps 1.6.0 early
  drop. But continue working and deliver high quality code.
- Understanding implementation function in details - Fine combing through the
  code.
    * orchestrator.py does only stage1 and stage2
    * bringup.py does stage3, 4 & 5


2019, Oct 15 (Tue)
- Job referrals from Whatsapp (IITG Alumni) and some minor chores.


- Meeting with Rushin about RN/SC upgrade scripts and his requirements.
  Understood following requirements from him:
    * custids and blacklist_custids
    * active, passive arguments needed
- Mostly coding on RN/SC the whole day. Crux of the implementation is in:
    * pinned_gp_gateway_instance_upgrade_orchestration_impl
- Stayed till 9:30pm at work to get things done. But as I realized,
  understanding above function is key to FS or this project.


2019, Oct 14 (Mon)

  to lift it up quite a bit. Few key things for me:
    * Don't wait for guideance from anyone. Especially Prabhakar. Take charge of
      your features and make progress.
    * Have unit tests and code quality as highest priority in your development.
      Do not deliver features without unit tests.


2019, Oct 7 (Mon)

#asti #harrypotter #swimming #vim
- Dropped kids at school and at work by 9am
- Kids watched Harry Potter in evening. Akshay got scared.
- Swimming in evening. Got cold. Coach left early :(
- Asti stayed with us for one night, while she's helping out with Sahaj Samadhi
  course organized by DSN people.

- Ramping up on Orchestrator arch, all things under lib/models. Understanding
  following:
    * Cust Node Model
    * Instance Model
    * Cust Model
    * Orchjobs
- They seem to be data layer to interact with RDS
- Was not feeling great. Left work around 4:30pm to pick kids.

- Spent time customizing Vim, especially cscope output colors. Spent > 1 hour.
  Seems waste of time, but I hope it has long term benefits.
Discussion Omplete. Checked with Tejas Patel. This should be doable.
- I did not give up on Vim colorschemes and continued experimenting. Finally
  settled on 'desert' scheme as it is solving my Cscope problem. Sigh! Relief!
- Back to FS on RN Upgarde.



2019, Sep 26 (Thu)
- Guruji's knowledge:
    * Balance between Spontaneity and Planning.
        - Too much Spontaneity leads to vagabond nature. Can't acheive much.
        - Too much Planning leads to inaction, or anger if something goes
          against the plan.
    * To achieve anything, following are required:
        - Effort, Energy, Skill, Providence/Luck, Willingness to Work for it
        - Energy, Skill and Providence/Luck can be increased by Meditation
    * How to correct wrong decision
        - Weigh pros and cons and the cost of trying to correct it.
- Ported bookmarks from Chrome in to Firefox.

- Wrote a rough FS draft and sent to Tejas and Prabhakar. Continue working on
  it, improving and refining.
- Discussed with Tejas about my FS. There will be orchestration-stage,
  cloud-formation-stage, bringup-stage.
- There will NOT be instance-transition-stage and deletion-stage.
- DIT-4269. Pyauth error, which is *not* real error. It passes and
  authenticates the cert presented.

#WFH #closet #REI
- Closet guys are here. I WFH
- Spoke to Quicken Loans guys. Gave me following rate for 15-year refi

      closing costs in the PITI
- We must focus on reducing Home Insurance. It's $1751/year (almost $150/month)

- Started looking in to bringup.py and orchestrator.py to understand the flow.
  This will help me write FS.
- Stayed up to 10pm at in office, working on FS.
- There was Adelphi pyauth issue. Tried to help them out, like a war room. Spent

2019, Sep 24 (Tue)
#WFH #NOTWFH #closet #flyhomes
- Closet installation.
- Updated Anki with IK problems (Ad-Hoc section)
- Webinar from Flyhomes. They have 3 options

      Seller, FH will Guarantee they'll keep the home on their name.
    * Some kind of Swap program, where you are upgrading your home while
      planning to sell your current home.
- I left for work as installers did not come. Trevor texted there was
  miscommunication and installers will come on Wednesday.

- Up around 4am working on Func Spec for RN/SC upgrade.
- Examining mysql tables: cust_topology. I want to look if any triggers are set
  on cust_topology table on instance1_transient column
- I'm seeing if write to this column triggers anything in Orchestrator.
- Got a Knowledge Transfer from Tejas Patel on Upgrade code. He says it helps to
  understand code flow to write up FS.
- Frank Ye is driving merge from budapest-saas to kiev-saas. Very painful
  process. He asked us to merge our changes.
- Once merge is done, I switched back to understanding GP upgrade code.

#offday #schooloff #WFH #vim
- Aarushi visited doctor and everything is looking fine
- But Aarushi took off from school for rest. Madhavi WFH.
- Left home around 5pm to pick Akshay. Sadhana, dinner, closet cleaning and
  family time.


- Built Vim in local Mac OS with cscope, python and python3 enabled.
- Working on CYR-8536, botocore race condition issue.
- On Friday, before leaving home, I used traceback.print_exc() to get stack
  trace for boto3 failure. That was not working today. Took time to make it
  work.
- I used logger.error("error traceback: %s", str(traceback.format_exc())). I
  don't know why this worked and not print_exc()
- I now have botocore exception/stack trace
- Very strange behavior. I had to restart Macbook to fix a bug in Messages app.
  It was not delivering messages. SSH connections got reset. Now, I no longer
  see the above stack trace. This is driving me crazy.

- My strategy now (12:30pm) is to catch NoCredentialException and retry invoke
  or other mechanism. Try to reach end goal instead of wandering around.
- Put in retry mechanism where db_client will again invoke
  boto3.Session().client('lambda', 'us-west-2'). Let's see if it works.

- Provided above solution. Tested and it's working. I found another issue with
  same 'Unable to locate credentials' but that's on Krupal. Can't work anymore
  on this
- Emailed the team with observations and updated ticket with findings.

- Reading Tejas Patel's documentation on Supporting many Edge locations to 1
  compute location for GPCS MU.

    * Opposite values are complimentary
    * Accept people and situations as they are
    * Do not see intentions behind other's mistakes

#allnighter #mrrobot
- Initially thought of WFH, but came to work at 11am after doing lot of chores
  at home.
    * Cleaning floors, vacuuming, kitchen/cooking related in preparation for
      evening guests
- Shruti Anupindi and family visited home for dinner
- Due to Coffee or something, I couldn't sleep at night at all. Woke up at 1am
  or something and started working on FS for VPC for dbaccess.
- I watched Mr. Robot all through the night. It's a bit sick show. Will no
  longer watch it.
- Almost pulled an all nighter.
- Almost did a facial in morning.

- Working on FS for Upgrade. Reading up on scheduler.py file
- Discussions with Prabhakar. Decided to do following
    * Write FS on separate VPC for dbaccess and propose for DevOps and all
    * Write FS for 1.5.0 upgrade
    * Explained that there's lot of value in making dbaccess as EC2 instance or
      containerize it. Deeper discussions required.
    * Followup on Resiliency project (PoC or something) is required after above
      two.



2019, Sep 17 (Tue)
- Handed off DIT-4117 to other team after triaging the issue.
- Debugging VPC Peering issue. Hai Ngo debugged it, finally. I want to be that
  guy who can debug it, Grrr..
    * We now have two subnets for 2 regions.
    * Above subnets have private IP.
    * Create two more subnets with NAT in them so they can talk to "outside"
      world.
    * Have routes from private subnet to subnet with NAT and connection to
      Internet GW.

- Look in to new regions bring up in Orchestrator. Specifically, Osaka and
  Belgium.
- Asked Prabhakar for bigger project. Got assigned to do release upgrade of
  1.5.0


2019, Sep 16 (Mon)
- Interesting start to the day. My bag was left in Madhavi's car. She found
  after going to Rainbow Montessori. She left my bag in Aarushi's locker.
- I could't start car due to keys being in bag. Took Uber Pool to Rainbow. It's
  bad idea as Pool was super slow to get home. I waited in rain for long time.
- I took Pool again to Office from Rainbow.

- DIT-4117 (Customer FW's is failing to connect to logging service). Took help
  from Srikant Kanneganti, Gaurav Puri, Stephen Litchman.
- Code review and submitted changes to OTP retry count code
- Testing dbaccess in separate VPC. But could not make progress.
- I brought up EC2 instance in new VPC. Wanted to run ping from this EC2 to
  another EC2 in another VPC.

  Prabhakar etc: DIT-3725 and DIT-3726



2019, Aug 7 (Wed)
#work #nightwork #timewaste
- We woke up around 7am, which is much  better than 8am :). Madhavi took kids to
  school.

- Started Cloud Map PoC. Plan is following.
    * Have an API endpoint in dev3. Call it "helloworld". No authentication, but
      just returns "Hello World from region - XX"
    * Have "API Handler" lambda that handles calls to above API.
    * Have "helloworld_lambda" in two regions that just returns "Hello World
      from region - XX"
    * Register both lambda ARN with Cloud Map
    * "API Handler" will query Cloud Map for which ARN to query. Cloud Map will
      return the ARN that's used in talking to that handler.
    * Abandoned this idea due to drawbacks in many ways.
- Set up API GW endpoint called "helloworld" handled by a lambda: 'api_handler'.
  Now it just return "Hello from Lambda" string.

- Setup meeting with Team for Thursday afternoon for initial project proposal.

- Kept updating Wiki with research material. Mostly did cost analysis for
  multi-region solution recommended by AWS.
- Slightly intense meeting with Prabhakar that I should only focus on Resiliency
  project and not on other stuff.
    * I feel he did not fully understand what I was doing or it's benefits.
    * Either ways, I need to manage things better. Do stuff under-the-radar and
      with much less damage (my changes were making FW go maint-mode)

- Left early (4:30pm) to pick up kids. Take care of them etc.
- Came back to work after dinner. Next time, should do WFH at night. Mainly,
  don't waste time watching Youtube stuff.



2019, Aug 6 (Tue)
#timewaste
- At work by 10:30am, slightly better than earlier days.

- Edge-Optimized API vs Regional API
    * Edge-Optimized = CloudFront POPs will have host names. So, nearest POP
      responds to API request. API GW is still in Oregon
    * Regional = Serves API requests originating in those regions only. External
      API requests bypasses CloudFront.

- Meeting with Manager. Try HA for Lambda only and not entire pipeline.
- Watched "AWS Cloud Map" re:Invent video. Good solution to our "HA for Lambda"
  problem.

- Picked kids, cooked dinner, sadhana, family time

- Watched Youtube videos on cricket - time wasted.

- AWS Cloud Map PoC


2019, Aug 5 (Mon)
- Worked with Prabhakar to close/transfer CYR-7673 bug to Shu Lin's team.
    * This FW is a TM Hub (Ticketmaster Hub)
    * Around the time with CommitAll failure happened, I saw an error that says
      "Cannot subscribe to SNS topic"
    * This error was found after a 'commit' was attempted.
    * Prabhakar said Shu Lin's team must look in to this.

- Investigated various options for Resiliency work. Updated wiki with findings.
  Updated Prabhakar with details
- Some drawings to illustrate high level design. Investigate open items.


- Studied Spanish and downloaded Chinese flash cards
- Worked on vim-talk. Spacevim seems very good option. They have example to run
  a docker image

- At night, read links from Pocket library: Geo/S2 library, Dynamic Prog
  articles by Avik Das

Weekly Summary
---------------
Good:
---
Exercised 2-3 times this week. Stayed at work to support whatever I could with
rollout, although I was not needed.

Looked at Hugo static website builder. Looking good, but it also diluted my
focus.

Bad:
---
I did 2-3 facials this week (or past 10 days). Have a bit more self-control.
It's bringing down the prana and we are so tired, ending up sleeping a lot.

Neelam Madaik asked for help with ART Excel. I committed, but did not do
anything. Please don't repeat this.

I also lost focus on Vim talk/presentation work. I moved on to updating my
website with new Hugo theme. Explored how Hugo works and all that. Stay
focused and committed and get it done.

2019, Aug 1 (Thu)
#swimming
- Debugged CYR-7927, commitAll failure.
    * kms_decrypt() method failed to install server cert and TLS profile. This
      is due to Access issue
    * saas-agent plugin did not have access to get master_key to decrypt server
      certificate saved in MySQL DB.
    * Due to this, perform_commit() failed later, thus commitAll.
    * All these errors are in saas_agent.log
    * With Thirumal's help, closed the bug. It's no longer seen in latest
      saas_agent.
- Resiliency project. Read few articles. At night, I found a good solution
  (multi-region deployment)

- Swimming coach in evening.

#work
- Kids stayed home as Akshay was not feeling well. Madhavi WFH.
- Left for home around 4:30pm. Did Sadhana with Madhavi, dinner and back to work
  around 7:30pm
- Team is doing production rollout.

- Found that pycrypto package was missing in kiev-saas builds. Merged that
  change and trying to load it to Frank Ye's VM.
    * This messed up stuff as I merged tonnes of other stuff in to core_rpms.py.
      I should **double** check before submitting changes
    * Reverted/Rolledback my changes and made _individual_ change for pycrypto
      package.
    * Pycrypto still failed/not-downloaded. Spoke to Sean Wang from engtools
      team. He pointed out few errors in core_rpms.py file and that worked.

- Merging specific directores from budapest-saas to main to kiev-saas. A bit
  tedious process. We do not want to do wholesale merge.
    * So, we merge specific directories, make a kiev-saas build and see if
      that's enough and working. Else find missing dir and repeat.

#meditation #americameditates
- Dropped kids in school and at work by 10am. Happy about "early" arrival :)

- Tested 7868 changes. One FW on dev3 went in to repeated CommitAll but it's due
  to some other issue. It's an old FW.
- Trying to test on FW provided by Prabhakar on dev4. So much time is getting
  wasted looking for FW.
- Huge waste of time as any VM I touch was going in to maint mode. Spent time
  applying DNS resolver patch


2019, Jul 23 (Tue)

    - Issue is with super_custid being updated every time lcaas-cert-fetch
      fails. He says mgmtsrvr will automatically retry without sleep.
    - The 4s then, is in fact processing time - generate CSR, privkey and all
      that
    - Prabhakar seem to know, within saas-agent code, where super_custid is
      getting overwritten again and again.
- Suggestion to update client-cert-fetch code to _NOT_ write anything to file if

- Madhavi took day off, with Marma to Sriparna Sen in morning, followed by Thai
  Massage in afternoon.
- Her car tire had issues, so we got it replaced in Costco that evening.
- We got a cake from Safeway in evening.
- Madhavi was a bit depressed.
- I tested and merged saas_agent integration code. FINALLY.
- Continue testing stuff and fixing bugs/issues.

2019, May 14 (Tue)
- saas agent integration work:
    * Again I switched to getting Crypto package in to repo. Tejas Patel tried
      to help, but did not make much progress.
    * I switched again to RPMS and taking help from Hilay. Feel it's right way
      to do things.
    * Started the build by checking in changes to core_rpms.py file. But it
      failed again.
    * Hilay debugged the issue closely and found that pycrypto package in FW is
      compiled for gmp package version 4.3.1
    * However, gmp package itself is upgraded to version 6.0.0. So, we have to
      rebuild pycrypto package for gmp-6.0.0
    * For this, I have to checkout out OSS tree in which pycrypto exists and
      compile the whole thing.
    * I requested access to that tree from ENGTOOLS team
- Headed home, and family time.


2019, May 13 (Mon)
- saas agent integration work. Quite dragging. Packaging is taking too much
  time.
    * Trying lots of things around that.
    * Prabhakar's changes to core_rpms.py file to include pycrypto package was
      throwing dependency errors
    * Hillay suggested ways to debug it. But we moved on to next idea.
    * We decided to add Crypto package (entire source directory) as part
      budapest-saas repo. Crazy thought, but trying.
    * There's build issues around including Crypto package in source.
    * Briefly, I tried cyptography package, but having old version on FW killed
      this idea.

- Guruji's birthday, but couldn't do much. Just sadhana.

#latenight #work #facial
- Two days, I stayed till 9:30pm at office and worked on saas_agent integration
- Lot of challenges along the way.
    * All environments had to be deleted and recreated by SRE. Lost a day or
      less on that.
    * Tested saas_agent integration on AWS first. It started failing because DNS
      was not resolving. Figured out with Nilesh, finally.
    * Moved all code/testing to FW on GCP. It's a challenge to migrate stuff,
      but I found a quicker way.
    * Finding how to SCP in GCP FW's took time, but now it's common knowledge.
    * restarts of various daemons are causing FW to go in to maintenance mode.
    * Late on Thursday, I realized that CCF functionality must be in
      pan_saas_agent_loader. Which is totally different view than I had earlier.
    * Coding and testing took additional two hours, luckily, and not more.
    * Merged "some" of my changes in to devel/budapest-saas branch
- Some discussions/meetings with center architect/Shalini. We will be submitting
  proposals to City this week
- Kids birthday partie (Hemasundar's son, Darsh). Took kids to it.
- Took a day to organize my code (ready for commit).
- Mother's day celebrations at Akshay and Aarushi's classes.
- Small projects for Aarushi and Akshay. Mainly mother's day related work.
- Teachers appreciation week. Madhavi purchased something for teachers from
  Target.
- Facial on Friday night.


2019, May 5 (Sun)
#work
- Came to office around 10:30 to work on pending issues (saas_agent + CCF)
- Got root access to VMs on GCP. Put in various debugging messages and trying
  out stuff.
    * changed debug_status = True. The it prints bunch of stuff to stdout that
      mgmtsrvr is not expecting. It's erroring out at wrong place.
    * Above debug is making us focus in wrong area.
    * Modified add_message function to print additional debugs

#dinner #vivek #ty #sfo
- Anniversary dinner in SFO with family + Vivek + Ty
- Made progress in XML parsing errors in client cert fetch code in saas agent.
    * Client API was returning certificate with quotes and XML parser was unable
      to decode/parse it. Removing double quotes solved the problem.
    * But to that string, there's dbaccess result is appended. Which is throwing
      XML parse error again. Debugging it.
- Later in evening, QA team found that lcaas-cert-fetch job is failing (never
  worked to being with) from GCP FW.


2019, May 2 (Thu)
- Read an article about some engineers at Youtube placing "IE6 will soon be
  deprecated" banners on webpage without permission.
- Debugging/Integration session with Simranjit on masterkey clientlib API.
  Identified some issues. Fix and commit. Two action items:
    * Identify locations on FW where ca.crt, lcaas.pem and privkey.pm files are
      present
    * Run masterkey API on FW. There's a OSRNG error from Crypto.Random module
      on FW. Fix it.



2019, May 1 (Wed)
- GCP Weekly meeting
- Meeting with Simranjit on "Master Key" related work. I have to provide an API
  to decrypt "master key" data. Some related work.
- Merged CCF lambda changes from main to devel. Krupal pointed the diffs and
  changes that were not merged from main to devel. Manually did that.
- Started building REST API "pipeline" for Master Key feature/work. This took
  most of the day and I couldn't work on saas_agent integration.
- Committed this code at end of the day
- At night, did little bit of triaging on 6813 bug (CCF failing again on QA
  environment)

#coffee #depressed
- Took me a while to figure out the source of client_cert_fetch call. By end of
  the day, it's clear.
- Did sadhana at work and stayed a bit late to finish up property appraisal
  assessments, emails to center architect etc
- Drank coffee in afternoon and couldn't sleep at night. Also feeling pretty
  depressed. AVOID COFFEE
- Started working on Client Cert Fetch integration late at night. Completed
  following:
    * integrate client_cert_fetch API on GCP, but leave everything same if AWS
    * after fetching client certificate, update DB table: instance_pki. This
      needs cert and private key. This is tricky and blocked here.


2019, Apr 29 (Mon)
- dbaccess params/arguments/sql/start etc keywords stuff
    * dbaccess is failing and figuring out why. Getting 500 Internal Server
      error
    * pyauth2 (I changed it to pyauth2) is failing with following error

(88c74d57-6aad-11e9-8d9e-1f811224b7f1) Execution failed due to configuration error: Authorizer function failed with response body:
{
    "errorMessage": "RequestId: f8579fbd-738a-4a70-9667-87aa97c58b7f Process exited before completing request"
}
    * Changing Authorizer back to pyauth helped. The client cert is "revoked".
      When I tried fetching "new" cert, that failed too: SSL errors

- Explained stuff to Madhava about potential changes coming to API

- client_cert_fetch had an issue (coding). Fixed that code in lambda function.
- After above change, dbaccess has started working. OMG!!!!! The root cause was
  in these:
    * client certificate had problem. dbaccess failed: pyauth2 did not indicate
      properly the reason - WHY???
    * Getting new client certificate hit roadblock because CCF lambda had a bug
    * I understood things, tested and explained to Madhava.

- Integrate CCF in to saas_agent code
    * FW went down/terminated. Migrated all my work to new FW in N California
      region
    * Goal is to integrate CCF code with lcaas-cert-fetch script, somewhere in
      /usr/local/bin

2019, Apr 26 (Fri)
- Took care of paperwork for Garage repair. Signed contract, wrote a check and
  mailed it to Silicon Valley Builders Group (SVBG)

- Standup on GCP
- Integrated client cert fetch code from Prabhakar in to saas_agent. Found an
  issue in client cert fetch path.
    * If CSP throws an error in fetch, abort msgbus registration process. This
      is not happening today. Fixed this issue, but not committed.
- CSP server is down (or some fault). So, client cert fetch is failing.
- I validated that saas_agent is getting installed after downloading. Following
  verifications are done
    * DB is updated with installed version
    * cfg.saas.installed_saas_agent_version is updated
    * images folder has correct RPM package downloaded
    * FIPS process is failing. WHY?
    * 'show jobs all' does not show commitAll status. WHY?
- I'm disabling FIPS and verifying if commitAll goes through. Did not work.



2019, Apr 25 (Thu)
#GCP
- Continue testing on new FW in Ohio region. Get dbaccess and saas_agent_loader
  working
- Kids came to work/office. It was really bad. Hard to focus. They were
  fighting, asking me to get stuff, what not. Lost some time.
- Dropped kids off at home during lunch break.

- After moving all my code to new FW. dbaccess stopped working. An issue in
  _get_certs() method I wrote was not returning a dict.

- After dbaccess started workign, s3_download failed. Triaging that, I faced
  following issues:
    * tracing logs were difficult because I was using 'tail -f saas_agent.log |
      grep <stuff>'. This was not working. Just grep works.
    * Logging was at INFO level. Changed to DEBUG and more logs are visible now.
    * First updated 'target_saas_agent_version' in instance_master table to
      1.4.0-300. But that was not working. WHY?
    * Above target_version must have a package in saas_agent_mappings table.
      This means, there's a package in S3 bucket for this version.
    * There was no version in mappings table. So, I found a version that has a
      package and started testing.
    * But that again failed because my clientlib API takes *only* the version
      and not full s3 path. Clientlib builds the full path.
    * I fixed that issue in Clientlib: a) API b) Lambda. Lot of document changes
      and QA automation updates are required now.
    * I tried to test from Chlorine above changes to Clientlib
      saas_agent_loader (s3_path instead of saas version)
    * Finally, saas_agent is getting downloaded in to local images folder

- Stayed back at work, instead of going to FlyHomes talk in San Mateo. Did
  Sadhana at work and dinner and continued working in to night.
- Got things working at 10:30pm and reached home at 11pm

- Spent time with Madhavi, and then did monthly budgeting on Excel. Slept at 2am
  or so, due to Coffee consumption.


2019, Apr 24 (Wed)
#GCP #exercise
- Weekly GCP meeting. Couldn't deliver saas_agent_loader/integration :(
    WHY?
- Trying to test saas_agent_loader. Must make changes to MySQL table, but found
  that my FW is missing in intance_master table.??? WTF
- FW/Instance does not have entry in instance_master. So, I cannot make
  saas_agent to download new/another version.
- So, I decided to insert an entry in to instance_master. But that's failing
  with "--read-only" flag. Aparently MySQL server is started with this flag.
- I'll check with Tejas Patel or someone on making this work.

- After lunch+meditation, debugged an issue with Krupal Joshi where msgbus
  registration was failing from within client_cert_fetch call.
- Turned out API endpoint was incorrect :(

- Tejas recommendation is to use new FW. I have switched to FW in Ohio region.

- Did 1 hour walk in Gym. Good.


2019, Apr 23 (Tue)
- Working with Madhava on automating Clientlib automation scripts. Ran into few
  issues (6750 and 6751). IoT errors during client_cert_fetch.
- Had a meeting with Samarpit to understand issues seen over weekend.
- Madhava still facing IoT failure issues. Krupal is fixing.
- I worked on saas_agent loader code, integrating dbaccess and saas_agent_loader
  APIs in to saas_agent
    * Made progress on integrating dbaccess.
    * Made progress on integrating saas_agent_download
- Meditation in afternoon
- Spoke to Gil for garage door quote. He's going to send me by evening.
- Texted Kristopher from Farmers Insurance with questions (about payment)
- Watched a PyCon video by Ned Batchelder
- Printouts of Madhavi + Akshay picture for Mother's day



2019, Apr 22 (Mon)
- GCP standup. Fix client libs to bring up saas-agent on GCP/AWS FW. Worked with
  PM.
- Figured out reasons when dbaccess endpoints are failing when provided with
  valid certs.
    * There's a CRL check happening that downloads 12MB file and validates if
      the cert is revoked or not. That's timing out.
    * Instead, use OSCP. A ticket was opened by Prabhakar and assigned to me to
      do this work
- Found out that something is messed up in GPGW instance on dev3. So, we spun up
  new FW and started working on it. Continued debugging in night.
- Looks like the results obtained from dbaccess is not presented to caller in
  correct dictionary form.

#lunch #nodejs
- Team lunch
- Total debugging of echo_test. I hard coded epoch_time and nouce values.
  Compare following values in Python and NodeJS code/output:
    - SSLCERT << OK
    - CLIENTCERT << Fixed an issue here
    - Privkey: << Fixed an issue here
    - signature << After fixing above, this is OK
    - payload_signature << Finally, this is also same. So, all fields are same,
      so far

- There's an OCSP validation, which I'm ignoring
- Create signed token as follows
    - epoch = int(time.time())
        - If this file present:
            - /opt/pancfg/mgmt/plugins/appdata/cloud_services/etc/delta_time
            - use it to adjust epoch (epoch += delta)
        - I'll ignore delta_time for now

    - nouce = ''.join(random.choice(string.ascii_uppercase + string.digits) for
      _ in range(16))
    - cert = clientcert // find out what is the format of this??
    - signature = get_header_signature(epoch, nouce) //
    - payloadsig = get_payload_signature()

- Finally, after resolving all issues, it started working. echo_test in NodeJS
  is working. Pretty happy.



2019, Jan 24 (Thu)
#facial
- Facial early morning. Planned to get up early and get some work done, but did
  something else instead.

- Started coding each parameter in token JSON object

- Did sadhana during lunch break. Skipped GPCS talk.

- Completed coding NodeJS stuff for echo_test. But tests are still failing.
  Friday will be complete debugging time.


2019, Jan 23 (Wed)
- After lot of digging around and investigation, resolved SSL cert failure on
  Mac OSX. It's Darwin system issue. Worked on Linux
- AWS API GW is throwing invalid cert error on pyauth lambda
- I'm planning to dynamically create portion of the cert in NodeJS. Should be
  mimicking Python client side code.
- Did sadhana in evening in Wellness Room and left home.



2019, Jan 22 (Tue)
#running #marathon #omrun
- Started the day with Om Run training in Sunnyvale. Excited!
- Continue working on curl+nodejs. Goal is to simplify everything (without GCP
  Cloud Functions) and get it working with just Node. Then move to GCP.
- SSL certs are failing in the code.
- Debugged aws_apigw.py file as much as possible, but need further debugging.

- Left early to play cricket. But it was a bummer. Jeet didn't show up.



2019, Jan 21 (Mon)
- Wrote to Shruti Shrivastava, Jyothika Banerjee for UI/UX roles in my team.
- Worked on Nitin Kakkar's internal referral.

- Continued working on GCP CF stuff.

- Spent quite some time, but NodeJS code is not working. It's unable to read
  contents of sample.txt file stored in GC Storage.

- Another hiccup is network access. dev3.panclouddev.com is only accessible from
  within PANW network. I think the ACLs are created such way.




2019, Jan 20 (Sun)

- Met with City of Santa Clara on violation notices. They made suggestions and
  gave us 30 days
- Wrote an email summarizing the discussion/meeting minutes. Jon Miller is our
  contact.

- Start working on GCP CF. Looked at few sample code to upload files to Cloud
  Storage and get those files from them.
- Few bugs in that code. Trying to learn JS and fix those bugs.

- Watched NodeJS Udemy video for 30-45 mins. Learnt few concepts:
    * let & const
    * Arrow functions
    * Arrays, Objects & References
    * Spread and Rest operators
    * Object Destructuring
    * Async, Await & Promises
    * Terminal Strings <- simple stuff

- Madhavi started AOS course at center. Taking care of kids etc.


2019, Jan 17 (Thu)
#crypto
- Meeting with Prabhakar. Do _not_ use Python and get PoC working ASAP. Man, it's
  hard, especially with kids, learning new language (NodeJS) and stuff. I'm
  somehow slow in getting stuff done. Not for the lack of effort. But ...
- With Madhavi gone this weekend, I need so much more time.

- Watched NodeJS videos on Youtube to learn the stuff. Watched an 1 hour long
  video.

- Dropped out of Crypto course on Coursera. Not the right time to do this stuff.
- Trying lot of things to get basic curl stuff working on GCP.
- It finally did. I just did not look at right place. It's in function emulator
  logs

- Stayed up late at night and got it to work on GCP console. Quite happy.


2019, Jan 16 (Wed)
- More investigation of echo_test.py script and unpacked all that's happening. A
  bit more clarity on what to do.
- I think we can do PoC using Python.

#sankranti #bhogi #enema #sick #WFH
- Fasting, due to Sankranti/Bhogi.
- Dropped Akshay a bit late and reached work at 10:30am
- Investigating 5623 (GCP CF). Meetings with Prabhakar
- I wrote up todo tasks and Prabhakar made some changes. I now have to check how
  to connect to AWS API GW using cert based authentication.
- Use 'echo test' code/script in Panorama CLI

- Started reading about CSR, OSCP and few terminologies

- A bit more progress on 5623, GCP->AWS calls. Lot of investigative work.

- Aarushi is still sick, so stayed home. Madhavi WFH.
- Did Enema to Aarushi and that helped a LOT. She's fully recovered after that.


2019, Jan 14 (Mon)
#WFH #sick #bhogi
- Aarushi got sick and threw up in morning. I WFH to take care of her.

#eatout #restaurant #inchinsbamboogarden
- Continue on 5109 external APIs.
    * CLI changes in XML files are done. They are calling a backend API
      (getRegionDetails). But I think that API is not getting invoked.
    * This is where I'm stuck/investigating at mid-day
    * Now, I found an API that gets called from GUI code
        + cloud_services.Fwaas.completeLicenseTypes << Bandwidth
        + cloud_services.Fwaas.completeIpsecTunnels << Ipsec Tunnels list
        + cloud_services.Fwaas.completeLicenseTypes << regions
    * Finally figured out how to do this feature/story. Left the day with some
      unfinished bugs.

- Dinner at Inchin's Bamboo Garden




2019, Jan 10 (Thu)
#1:1
- Continue working on 5109 APIs via CLI/Backend, after Prabhakar suggested so.

2019, Jan 8 (Tue)
#AOL #skiplevel
- At the center to meet Architect and General Contractor. Lots of discussions on
  Tenant Improvements. Costs are ballooning.

- Skip level meeting with Deven Raut in Cafe. A bit of wake up call. He said
  that I was a "forceful" hire. Guruji probably forced it :). I need to deliver.

- Continue working on 5728 bug (remove a column in DB table: orch_cfg).
    * I looked at all places where this is used. I do not see a reason to have
      this info in the DB table. Mostly this column can be deleted.
    * Need to create an 'ALTER table' SQL command for 1.3.1 release and test
      this out. Will confirm with Tejas Patel.
    * Spoke to Simranjit C about NOT entering dbpassword info in to orch_cfg
      table.

- How should the API look like? What is the expectation from the API?  Is there
  an existing API that I can model this around?
    * Siva pointed out how APIs look in GUI. Trace following API call
        plugins/cloud_services/remote-networks/onboarding/entry[@name='test-4']/ipsec-tunnel
    * This returns bunch of IPsec tunnels to choose from backend. Very useful
      example.

- Left home around 6pm, sadhana and family time.


2019, Jan 7 (Mon)

Lot of REI work. Cleaning up the Excel sheet. Removing properties in 94544 zip

process (although not yet automated, but much faster). But I spent quite some
time manually cleaning stuff up.

Visited Madhavi's office as a trial run for Valentine Day surprise.

issue and still couldn't crack the problem. Solved it over weekend.

2018, Feb 7 (Wed)
WORK
Met Dan Comfort, PLM for AirWave product, over lunch. Very helpful. He shared
his ideas about AirWave product, push to Cloud, product challenges etc.

Bug scrub for Rahul's team. I personally worked on some code clean up, it's
tests etc. I couldn't work on 29137, which is much more important.

The code clean up stuff I did had build failure after generating code review.
Review was generated on very old code. Took quite some time to resolve
conflicts, rerun tests and new review etc.


PERSONAL
I don't know how the day passed. Most of it is gone in doctors visits. Madhavi
took Aarushi to dentist. I took Akshay to doctor for eye check up. We were
late, so, rescheduled to later in the day. Went to work by 11am and left work
by 3:30pm for evening appointment.

#interview
WORK
Interviewed a senior candidate for Shreeni's team.

Spoke with Umesh Patil from Cloud team on progress. It will still take 2 weeks
more. A bit demotivated, but will wait and see. Spoke with Jisheng Wang from
Niara team about opportunities in Niara. My conclusion is that it's not really
a security company, but rather analytics company looking for security issues.
They use AI/ML and Big Data as tools to this end.

Meanwhile, my current director, Rami Rivlin, wants update on my move to Cloud
Engg team. Awkward!!

#c3 #cloud #coursera
PERSONAL
LK and Kids swimming and Chanting class. Worked on C3 final during chanting
class and later, after kids slept. Passed the final exam. Super happy. I need
to focus on Programming Assignment.

Also watched the movie (Newton). It is quite good.


2018, Jan 26 (Fri)
WORK
Worked on two TCAM issues:
    * Code clean up (COPP groups clean up) and started few HT runs
    * CR 29137. I expect multiple entries in TCAM for each Egress ACL. That's
      not happening.
I investigated 2nd issue for some time using GDB. I need more time.

PERSONAL
Attempted final exam of C3 and failed. Got 22/30. Failed few non-pictorial
questions on Gnutella, Chord and such esoteric protocols. I'll carefully look
at the questions and try again.

WORK
Came to work quite late (11am) since I dropped Akshay. Code clean up issue
failed Gate test. Debugged that. Feel like wasted some time at work.

PERSONAL
Emailed Sandeep Sukhija, met at REI meetup, about working together.

Family ate out at restaurant (Chaat Bhavan). It's a good place. Mild spices,
not noisy music, variety of dishes, full vegetarian restaurant.

Spent couple of hours at work solving final exam (C3) quiz. Good learning
(refresh) of lectures I listed longed time ago. This final is taking quite
some time to complete.

After long delay (almost a month) I returned Sonic Net's router. I sometimes
struggle to get basic work done and this is an example. Telephone is missing
and don't know where it's gone.

#rei
WORK
Was planning to WFH, but last minute changes and I went to work. Madhavi has
to do "16 fruits nomu". Juggled quite a few issues throughout the day.
* MAX ACE's supported in Egress TCAM. How "small bank" and "single" field can
  be used
* Test various TCP options. Do they work on Topflite
* Follow up with engineers for +2 on code review of TCP cleanup (Tunnel
  Counters)
* Explored FastLog implementation in sFlow (just read the wiki). This is just
  a beginning. Need to read a lot more and quickly implement. I see lot of
  benefits using this framework.

Lot of time spent in testing options to tweak TCAM group size. TD2+ has
limited ways to do it (using bcmFieldGroupModeXXX enum values). Resort to
default, for now. I plan to clean up code in this area.

PERSONAL
Attended the REI meetup. Met a person (Sandeep Sukhija) with whom I can
potentially work and learn stuff. Emailed him following day.

2018, Jan 23 (Tue)
#WFH
WORK
Very surprised/upset with myself. Not much happened since morning and am not
sure how the time got lost. Worked on 29169 bug and closed it. Rearranging the
group priorities may have fixed the issue.

PERSONAL
Up around 3am and worked on C3 course. Progress is very slow, as I forgot lot
of material. Refreshed Lamports Timestamps, Vector Timestamps, P2P protocols
(Gnutella, specifically) etc. There's till more to study and complete the
final exam (Virtual Synchrony)

At work, I updated few Auto Pay options to Madhavi's credit card. Dumped 2
printers at recycling center.

I slept in late and couldn't got to LK. Took kids to swimming and chanting
class. Madhavi went to center to do Marma at 5pm and back at 7pm.

I got an hour or so during chanting class to work on cloud computing final
exam. I forgot a lot of things taught in first couple of weeks. Snitches, YARN
details and all seems totally new to me. Reading my notes helped (instead of
watching videos again). I don't know how long I'll remember these things, if
not used regularly.

#interview #cloud #facial
WORK
Interviewed in Cloud Engineering team with Minimol Thomas and Priyank. I think
it went well. I hope the team felt the same.

Worked on TCAM issues (29220) where I ported Ridley's TCAM changes to
Topflite. There's an issue in TF where "TCP Established" flag is changed to
two rules, but the stat object is only for one rule. This needs to be fixed
(in TF).

#YES
SEVA
[Tue 16, 10:17] MLK weekend for Madhavi and Me. So, holiday, but not for kids.
Dropped Kids in school and did YES course. There was parent/teacher meeting at
the end. Overall YES was very useful for me, as I have been out of teaching in
a while. I must announce more YES programs (Spring break) with other teachers.
Working in team is best for me.

PERSONAL
[Tue 16, 10:26] Madhavi went to give/get marma to Chitra's house. I worked on
Cloud Computing Quiz for week 5 and FINALLY passed. Topics were Global
Snapshots, Multicast Ordering (FIFO, Causal etc) and Virtual Synchrony. I
still do not have grip on these topics. Coursera allows multiple attempts. So,
I passed in 3rd (or was it 4th?) attempt. I would have certainly failed in
real classroom/University setting. I got 47% in first attempt. I'm not sure
how to do better.

One good thing about multiple attempts is that I got clarity on FIFO, Causal
ordering protocols. I'm still not sure how buffering works.

Kids care, Aarushi's dance class, dinner and all that.

#YES

PERSONAL
Woke up around 6am. Cleaned up the kitched, freshen up, Sadhana, snacks
shopping for YES kids and off to YES program in Cupertino. Surprisingly 9 kids
showed up for YES.

After returning from YES, lunch and started on Cloud Computing course. Plan to
read forums for mistakes I did

SEVA
[Sat 13, 14:46] First day of YES course. 9 Kids in the program. Very happy to
see the size. They all thoroughly enjoyed. I did breathing techniques and
shared couple of my personal experiences for Button Proof etc.


2018, Jan 12 (Fri)
WORK:
[Fri 12, 14:43] Tested 29097 (ttl not working) bug. It was reopened by QA.
However, I found it to be working. I spoke to her. There's a misunderstanding
on how ACL should work. Need clarification.

PERSONAL:
Watched Cloud Computing lectures and started working on Quiz. Questions were
intense and time consuming. But struggled through and failed in first attempt.
I'll look at the forums and retake on Saturday or Sunday.

Cleaned up the house a little bit and throwed trash (so kids don't bring stuff
back)

Started Sadhana at 5pm, before kids arrive.

Kids care (Pizza over Bread), some grocery shopping in Safeway. Routine stuff.
Little bit of preparation for YES course. Slept at 10pm. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

2018, Jan 11 (Thu)
#bugs #TCAM

PERSONAL:
[Thu 11, 10:54] Slept at 10pm last night and woke up well rested, in morning by
6am. I intend to practice that daily (sleeping at 10pm). I wanted to WFH, but
WFH isn't making much sense when kids school is on. I have to bring kids back
home anyway (especially if Madhavi is also WFH). So, I decided against it.

Watched Cloud Computing videos on Paxos. Started the Quiz and found questions
on Chandy-Lamport, FIFO and Causal ordering. I'll watch the videos again and
attempt the Quiz after lunch.

Re-watched Chandy-Lamport algorithm for Global Snapshots.

I strongly plan on completing this course and getting certification.

SEVA:
Called up Priya about YES. So far, we have 3 people and one being transferred.
We need many more. I should do some outreach.


WORK:
Sent out bug scrub report and asked the team to pick up a bug if they haven't
already. Currently, bug count is at 37 and must be brought down to 25 very
soon. That's a personal goal.

One of my bug (23087) finally got merged. It's the one where CopyToCpuCancel
flag is set whenever drop action is configured and NO logging action is
present. In this bug, user configured a 'deny all' ACL rule and was surprised
to see OSPF Keep Alive packets still continuing between peers. That's because,
Keep Alive packets are 'CopyToCpu' packets and 'drop' action does NOT conflict
with it. With my change, they are no longer copied to CPU.

For bug 29118, peer reviewer asked me to run L3 stats FT tests, just to make
sure it doesn't break counter FTs. IMO, it shouldn't, but started HT run for
it.

Sent out some emails to halon-dev, one being about Google's Monolith repo and
how we can use some ideas for our own.

Some team members are in Roseville for technical discussions on DpD design.
House looks empty.

Got new bugs opened. I notified devs about it. Going forward, I must triage
the bug a little bit more before talking to the devs. That way, first level of
screening can be performed and reassigned if it's not in my team or needs more
info.





2018, Jan 10 (Wed)
[Wed 10, 11:33] Drop of Akshay and at work by 11am (quite late)

[Thu 02, 10:35] TCAM issue of in-place update
[Thu 02, 12:19]
Notes on TCAM in-place update change
1) When a port is set/unset, set 'updated' field to true.
2) Remove 'tcam_hw_entry_match' API check in tcam_entry_new_tcam_hw_entry. This
check is, most likely, not needed on Topflite. Ports info is captured using port
bitmap in PI and passed to PD. If PD supports it (like T2+), it can be used. If
it's not (Dune), it will be split up in to one HW entry for each port.

If portmap is changed, I'm relying on 'updated' field in tcam_entry update
entries in-place. A lot of checks must be put as PD requirements in Topflite is
different.
    * 'updated' is set to true in various APIs
    * L4 properties that were examined in tcam_hw_entry_match API
        - src_port and dst_port

address is within a subnet. I think it's a bit of a task.
