Exactly.
Our team of 6 sysadmins manages:
- DNS appliances, storage appliances, NTP appliances,
- hypervisors, Dev/stage/prod k8s clusters, some other k8s clusters
- dev/prod Elasticsearch/Logstash/Kibana clusters
- internal GitLab, Jira, Confluence, nautobot, OpenDCIM, a deprecated Twiki
- several internal custom apps
- Probably more I am forgetting.
Nothing gets patched consistently. Everything is neglected to a certain degree.
- rhizome 5y agoI'm not going to die on this hill, but that seems like a lot of complexity for a company with in-house skills, maybe even the worst of both (in-house vs cloud/managed) worlds.
- stevekemp 5y agoIn a previous job I managed a migration from bitbucket (!) to self-hosted Github Enterprize. As part of the migration I forced the creation of a monthly "backup restore test". Every month we had a recipe to spin up a new instance of the Github appliance, and import the most recent backup into it. A lot of systems do tend to get a little neglected over time, and of course different organizations have different priorities, but I insisted on this because I figured for that particular company the Github instance was one of the most critical components - if it is down people can't work.
