  There are 12 people in the IT team of the main org with two admin supervisor. They run Kubernetes for the regional infrastructure. I am bringing the 10x engineer and his printer tech guy from our local org up to speed with the new stack (hypervisor + docker + some linux tools) and documenting how to manage it. If they don't learn the soft way now they are going to learn the hard way later when the main org take away their admin privileges from their hands and restrict them to the php app. The IT team is quite fed up with the incessant problems of this server (mail gateway got blacklisted for instance with the last incident). That server should have been retired but our resident guru has hit a mental roadblock regarding the migration. I can't format the word enough so here it is with capital letters: DOCUMENTING. > take over your "superior" variant of technical debt Clearly the current server situation (one guy knows how to run it) is vastly superior to documenting it for others and not patching security holes is okay. At least now we'll be able to shut down a particular service instead of shutting down the whole dept. next time that server hiccups.
