IMO the commonality at thousands of these companies is a relatively uncomplicated application stack requirement or micro services. If you have ever had to talk down execs bitten by the k8s hype in a scientific compute or HPC environment yo

Did you consider that when there is a manual process it is in place to bring combined attention to what surely is (by 2019) a critical section: that needs consensus not provided by some monitoring hook. Sure, everything is about automation

Sales talk. This doesn't reflect reality, sadly.

There is some of that, certainly, but you can misapply any solution and perform poorly using any tool or personality. For your information I find the new breed and k8s FUD to be more of a reaction rather than an educated, seamless and prac

Who said anything about manual processes? That's not what the modern SA does...it's mostly designing repeatable processes, creating recipes and integration in my experience. The real problem with the K8s and devops world is no und

I'll be retired by then..and I disagree that it will be cloudless but for some compute the cloud is a risky option being forced upon them by exec level marketing, solutions hype (like k8s and docker). Some of the old hands always keep

Those are your startups and web/app tier shops. Yes, they suck at sysadmin routinely and they need to be bottle fed a solution that fits the scatter/gather shape of their business. They don't want OPs discipline. They want a

Or you could just learn how to manage infrastructure the old fashioned way, which was never broken for small business and mid-sized enterprise environments. The only time you need the complexity and overhead of something like kubernetes is

Years ago I thought it was the government that was destroying the internet and the open frontier of human communication. Over the last 10 years I've understood it to be the google and facebooks of the world that have a vested interest

You have a choice. Boycott especially egregious offenders and packet filter and deny service to any suspicious device on _your_ home network. Years ago sticking these types of devices on a trusted home LAN would have been unthinkable.

Let me summarize further. If you come from 20 years of application development and network design/administration in 'real' LAN and IGRP networks with 'real' hardware you are going to be learning everything again. T

Most of us from 50-75 are capable of rolling our own. We did it in our 30s and edit it. Hope that answers any questions regarding reuse, language adaptation , etc..

Let me tell you what it is. They were not in charge. They designed for love of the design, performance|correctness and the output. They did not design for other people. There is no joy in designing for another persons expectation based on e

These are shit programmers. Complexity != talent.

Very insightful: 'They are smart people who don't know much yet.' One thing to consider is that understanding only how a compiler organizes things or how a good assembly programmer understands the world is not conducive to an

A robust system is typed. A robust ecosystem is typed. Everything else is evaluated and dependent upon some agency.

Why yes, thank you. But without being morbidly explicit joining these phrases without context could put someone in jail...and that is what you did there. My point was to pick a convention and enforce it and (secondly) that using some agenc

Yes, and these devs come up with the worst form of spaghetti dependencies and nightmare operational environments. This and mega scale deployment has brought us to the container, automation and orchestration stage where no one is competent t

Funny. I looked through the GO book and walked away feeling justified in being diligent with C. Maybe that's because I dislike jumping through other peoples hoops when I know better.

Come up with a convention and stick to it. Bracketed network/host, trailing port. Shoot anyone who does it any other way. Ignore case in network/host...and yes you need to be able to do this. Counting on some other system to do th

You could be right. The security team and some of the kernel developers are top notch though.

There is a limit on where kafka and cassandra are best solutions for your domain. Anyone who only knows SQL and windows server shouldn't be working on new technology stacks.
