Sure if you want to pay money. Most goons have computers they can do this poo poo on. The free AWS tier isn't that good anymore.

My monthly aws bill is less than a dollar. I'm only using it for s3 and some lambda functions that invoke SES. But even when I was using ec2 my bill was still negligible. And that's if you run your instances 24/7. Even if the free tier isn't what it once was it's still cheap as poo poo to prototype giant systems that you just can't do at home. Edit- and again, the experience that you gain from doing it on AWS provides another skill that is much more valuable. deedee megadoodoo fucked around with this message at 17:25 on Aug 24, 2017 |

Get your company to get an MSDN deal with your MS volume agreement like me, and enjoy 200 bucks of Azure credits per month for whatever you want

I've got $150/mo for Azure credits and it's enough for the smaller things. Just remember to turn off your VMs when you aren't using them.

MC Fruit Stripe posted:Can you guys drop some specific AWS free or cheap tier suggestions for labbing? First figure out some service you want to learn. Using the Jenkins example that you posted earlier, set up an ec2 instance and install Jenkins on it (using the community AMI is cheating). Then build a custom VPC and deploy it there. Then script the whole thing using terraform (because cloudformation is a pile of garbage). Just start small. There are a ton of labs here: https://aws.amazon.com/start-now/?sc_ichannel=ha&sc_icampaign=start-now&sc_icontent=2235 and here https://amazon.qwiklabs.com/catalog?locale=en (but these are a bit more in depth) I literally started off watching the videos here: https://aws.amazon.com/training/intro_series/ which are short and pretty easy to follow. Now I'm an AWS Architect and I drink myself to sleep every night.

AWS is really cheap to lab on if you turn things off after you finish. There's also Ravello which gives you a free trial and lets you set up nested ESXi on public cloud if you want to lab some VMware stuff.

That's a good point, i just got a visual studio subscription from work and it includes a $100/mo azure credit as part of it. That'll definitely be the way to go unless i want to lab out something VMware-specific.

MC Fruit Stripe posted:Can you guys drop some specific AWS free or cheap tier suggestions for labbing? Just always pick the cheapest instance size in the cheapest location and turn it off when you're done. You can use github as a way to seed information and it means your automation skills are top notch. Nothing you're doing likely needs more than a 1GB EBS ever, and that is being generous. Just use the ephemeral storage instances come with to do everything.

I figure I'll get some basic stuff going on my home lab (WSUS, watch a few GPOs get applied and work, etc) and then yeah, so I'm not learning AWS and the simpler MCSA-level stuff at the same time, I'll then look at utilizing AWS. Would like to learn  and that's definitely never happening at my current job.

All that stuff still applies to AWS at least if you've got a large Windows Environment.

I've been taking a CISSP class all week and most of this seems like really easy stuff when verbally talked about, but then when I look at practice tests the questions are significantly harder than the broad strokes the instructor touches. I have a feeling I'm going to get curb stomped by this test. This is the first time I've made a company pay for a class before I took a test so I'm not sure if this is basically how it is for all of them.

We have this brand new platform, everyone. It's called a private cloud, where you take our cloud service and place it in your own data center. You don't even need an internet connection for it to work! Stay tuned for our next big invention, which will completely replace thin clients and VDI: they're fully functioning computers with storage that you can put right on your desk. No need to run VDI at all!

Everyone I know who has taken the CISSP says it's an absolutely infuriating test and none of them had any idea if they'd passed after they finished, but they all did. Some of them took classes, some used books, but the test feeling like a complete crapshoot seems to be nearly universal.

How do guys with 20 years in the industry not know how to read a traceroute? 7 hops, 4 of them are 70ms+ because it's a cross country MPLS connection. He thinks they are additive and it's 320ms (80ms x 4 hops) from the MPLS router at the far end to the Voip gateway at the far end.

My (hopefully soon to be former) boss just lectured me because I wasn't telling him about the SAP upgrade strategy that our German parent company is going with. It was basically "you should have the thought in your head to inform me of certain things". I'm not loving snooping for him or playing political games. We've had consultants coming in all week to work up quotations for this project and he has missed every meeting and then grilled my about what was going on. I told him he needs to talk to the Ops Manager and IT Management for Germany and that I'm not in a position to dictate what the implementation strategy will be.
