I want to go back in time when naming your servers as X-men characters or Dune houses was a thing. I'm not a big fan of this brave new DevOps world.

- exdsq 5y agoMy first job, tech support, had fantasy server names. That was fun :)

- scrollaway 5y agoYou're still free to do that. But honestly having done DevOps/sysadmin in both of those worlds, i vastly prefer the whole one-service-per-machine, cattle treatment with the one off exception for remote workspaces and the like. Losing a server was often devastating, even with backups. "Don't run your builds right now, people are visiting the website" also sounds a lot like "Don't connect to the internet right now, i need to use the phone". I mean there's "correct" ways to implement the whole pet servers concept but .. why? It's fun, sure, but it's also a waste of time, and when you want to be productive it just tends to get in your way.
