- alistairSH 8mo agoYup, same boat here (mid-size company). All the corporate stuff is behind Okta, so that easy enough. But all the dev/test systems are a mix of SSO, individual logins, etc. At least they're all behind the same VPN (except when they aren't, but that's less common). And of course, if you're a cloud engineer (vs "normal" software engineer), you also have to deal with AWS access, which is a whole different can of worms.
- benterix 8mo agoAnd yet, somehow AWS managed to get this right-ish. They evolved, learned by making mistakes, and created de-facto standards (like object storage protocol) on the way, while at the same time supporting decades-old services. And I'm sure they'll withstand the current AI craze.
- jen20 8mo agoAWS had the benefit of not trying to retrofit IaaS on top of a (already bad) PaaS.
- DANmode 8mo agoSo the problem is the team size, not culture?
- harshreality 8mo agoDoes Google have good SSO internally? Or Facebook? (excluding things like administration of organization-wide infrastructure key material)
