… on a metal server. In Bash.
- sgt 3y agoBash? What a luxury. I mean we had bash, but all our scripts were made to work with plain old /bin/sh
- nailer 3y agoI still save non-sh compatible bash scripts as .bash and my colleagues have no idea why, because they don't know Bourne shell is a thing.
- trabant00 3y agoOr in VMs, or in containers. In Bash, Perl, Python. But what do you think software runs on these days? Magical immaterial containers? Bare metal is still there, just a few (more or less terrible) abstractions away. And please check out https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes - Oh noes, k8s is 3% bash? The horror :))))
- nuker 3y agoI hate k8s lol, I tend to use AWS ECS. My point is that today sysadmin skills are not enough. You need Python (boto3), APIGW and Lambda, years of Cloudformation and stuff. Does not hurt tho :)
