This is not my experience with AWS or Red Hat whatsoever. Most, if not all AWS users I've worked with use languages like terraform and emphasize importance of Infrastructure as Code, _not_using the GUI. Cloud concepts are more important than the GUI.
The same goes for the core concepts behind Ansible/Openshift. Both are not only available free, but they emphasize IaC over GUI.
- JoyrexJ9 6y agoYeah I was following along with the article up until that point. Pretty dumb thing to say by someone that probably has never run production workloads on a public cloud
- prepend 6y agoThis was confusing to me. I’ve never met anyone who uses the GUI for anyone substantial. And know quite a few folks who never use the GUI and either solely use the API or use some framework that uses the API. If anything AWS skills are more portable because of all the reverse engineered APIs and whatnot.
