A VPS is a server you rent for ~$10 a month, already exposed to the internet and hopefully has a static IP so you can buy a domain name and serve up web traffic. I was trying to say that the cool stuff in linux (in this posters humble opinion) is database and server stuff, especially web servers, so you want one that's always online. If you get a home server you can do the same stuff with dynamic DNS and your router

Jimbot posted:Any tips on getting a job in the IT field? I'm currently going to school for the CCNA certificate and they rolled in computer hardware into the program to get the A+ cert. I'm only a couple weeks in, so I'm far from getting something, but is there anything in particular I should know way ahead of time that'll make the transition from school to the work place as smooth as it can be? A+ was super helpful for me to get a job. Graduated with a BS in psych and got the first IT job within a week of getting the cert. Once you're in just show up every day

And the only reason I caught him is because he called SF "San Fran"

MSSQL is a loving catastrophe if you're trying to implement any sort of modern clustering. We had to call MS every single time it fucks up and now we're going back to MySQL 5.6

Can any industry vets give me a quick picture of Openstack feasibility in 2017 and beyond? One of our seniors has a pretty deep understanding of the tech, has deployed it for a fortune 100, etc, and is trying really hard to get us to deploy and support it in our dev datacenter for self service. I'm arguing that everything new should be in AWS to limit technical debt, and he's saying that OpenStack and AWS work perfectly in tandem and will help our devs containerize, and also that our devs won't have to waste any time learning Openstack as everything they'll use will be exposed through an API. I'm worried this is going to become a loving mess that no one knows how to support when/if this senior leaves. He's also arguing that Openstack won't dry up and disappear. I don't know what I'm talking about besides reading cautionary tales of Openstack completely blowing up. If we have a kickass deployment, does that prevent this from biting us in the rear end? Is there anything that Openstack does better than AWS from a developer enablement standpoint besides save money? We already own the hardware for it with ~4 years left on the lifecycle Roargasm fucked around with this message at 22:46 on May 30, 2017 |

It's been openswan and openVPN back to traditional datacenters, maybe 5 tunnels open. The whole thing falls over at like 400mbit, usually the nodes are unresponsive and have to be rebooted from console

Judge Schnoopy posted:Ok so I'm starting to build a devops lab with an aws node, Jenkins, ansible, bash for Windows, GitHub, all that good stuff. From a big SaaS company that's getting bigger, I would want experience with change control, config management, monitoring, and application security. You've got the first two, but adding centralized logging and managing iptables/selinux with those tools would be a huge plus. You can also roll your own gitlab instance and do encrypted S3 backups out of the box now Roargasm fucked around with this message at 00:37 on Oct 1, 2017 |

The python networking book from humble bundle was garbage. Started out engaging but was just 400 pages of basic technical examples and output at the end. He worked thru the cli ref for like 3 routers then did ansible's docs. People on reddit were saying Packt was a content farm when the sale was up, this definitely enforced that
