So I am in telecom, and the space I am in is moving towards the cloud. Most of the big companies are trying to get into the cloud space and become SaaS companies instead of hardware/software providers. Seeing this, I think that I need to get more focused on the cloud. What studying/certs do people recommend? I have access to CBT Nuggets, and am thinking about the VMWare stuff, and there is a chance my company will pay for a VMWare certified course, so that could be a start. If I wanted at some point to be more about the cloud instead of the crappy software I support, what am I missing? Storage? Networking? *This post specifically made to be funnier to cloud/butt users.

Well, EMC screwed the pooch here in Portugal. Our biggest ISP, Portugal Telecom, had a service done by EMC. Replacing one of 2 controllers, the malfunctioning one. Weeellll, the technician kind of pulled out the wrong one. Cue panic as some of the biggest hosting clients lost all their connectivity for 40+ hours (including the biggest ticket selling website in Portugal and the most visited newspaper website). Turns out something went wrong when bringing it back online and they had to escalate to EMC US. Turns out sometimes (always) Disaster Recovery is worth it if you can pay for it. gently caress, Portugal Telecom is a bad company (unrelated, just ranting here). It's the Portuguese Microsoft when it comes to middle management. Couple that with nepotism due to the State having had a golden share for a lot of years and you have the perfectly hosed up company. And now, we're selling it to the french.

Private cloud is an on-prem cloud, but it could be two on prem data centers linked. See for example Azure Pack (not Azure, Azure Pack). It brings elasticity and self service to your Data Center, if you wish to have those. I know you didn't ask for my opinion, but I'll give it to you: Public clouds will be used a lot by startups and companies/individuals like that but the big companies who can afford the CAPEX for on prem solutions will always prefer that. The thing is, people might start using public clouds a lot because it's cheaper, but sooner or later there'll be a huge hack on Microsoft/Amazon's public cloud servers and we can all foresee what that will bring. That's why I think that Hybrid Cloud has it's space. Hybrid Clouds will be used, but carefully. You can use online storage for backups, DRaaS, something like that, but you try to limit as much as possible having everything outside your company. That's just my 2 cents though. Also, SaaS. I think that's going to be huge. IaaS, not for the big boys, they'll still spend a lot of money on equipment.

I'm not sure I agree that private clouds are irrelevant. There are an awful lot of enterprises with ERP architectures that won't or can't move everything into a public cloud. For example my current client is an ivy league college and while they are trying to move as much as they can into AWS, they will never get all of their data sources migrated off of their current on-premises systems and can hope for a hybrid cloud at best. There are as well a great many such enterprises with private clouds who will not even attempt the move to public offerings due to lingering fears about public cloud intrusions. I think it may be premature to call time of death for the private cloud vendors. The market segment probably won't grow that much but VMWare would not be the first relic to stick around well past its prime. Having built a VMWare private cloud though I would not jump at the chance again. Between the various cloud implementations and the industry dialogue about DevOps we're in a sort of IT development singularity that I don't see settling down in 2015 at least, and lots of cool things are coming of it. I know I'd rather be focusing on that side of things, but I also know guys who are VMWare storage experts who love polishing the same skillset to increasingly impressive levels. I guess what I'm saying is you can pick your poison this year.

All very interesting. I do business phone system support, and the trend for larger systems is virtualization. This is in part because everyone is doing it, and also because most of the big players don't want to be in the hardware game any more. What this means is that there are private cloud type offerings for large customers, which include either a complete hardware system with storage, network, server, etc, or a CD that installs everything needed on their existing infrastructure. For smaller customers, hosted solutions are becoming a thing, with IP phones on site, and everything else managed remotely. My concern is that when I look for jobs, most of the time when I see 'admin the phone switch' requirements, those are secondary to windows admin, network admin and other main functions. I think this will get worse in the future, especially if this is just going to be another program running in the data center. I need to either specialize in some more specific functions (call routing, call center, IVR), or get more into the infrastructure side. Very interesting that I have barely heard of AWS, but there are certs and training for it.

That's kind of a bummer to hear. I'm a bit less bullish on cloud (in the AWS sense of the word) than Misogynist. In startup land it's certainly the hot poo poo and growing like gangbusters. But there is still a loooooooooooooooot of legacy stuff out there, billions and billions of dollars worth, that will never ever ever be ported to the cloud. That is where VMware makes its fortune and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. With all the "pets" that are not suitable for running as disposable, stateless cloud instances. And/or companies that can't or won't let anything leave the data center for (real or imagined) regulatory and compliance reasons. VMware's growth is probably tapering off as everyone who wants very stable, very expensive traditional virt already has it by now. But I don't see all the massive Fortune 500 companies and government agencies divesting themselves of all of their legacy apps and jumping in with both feet to a glorious microservice future in the public cloud. As MagnumOpus said while I was posting this, I find ~cloud~ much more interesting and exciting, so it's where I've chosen to focus. But I don't blame anyone for staying in VMware land. IMHO it's going to be pretty stable and reliable employment for a long while. Just like all the millions of people writing Java code are still in demand, despite Java's "hype" having worn off at least 10 years ago.

Anyone with Qradar experience in here? I just got handed, as the person who was "running" it got canned, Qradar that hasnt really been setup at all. I've been pouring through the documentation but its pretty cut and dry and doesnt expand on a lot of stuff. Anyone know of some good intro reading into administrating Qradar, be it post/article/something? My first task is to get in there and get it storing 13 months worth of logs but after reading the manuals it suggests using Flow/Event retention, which the defaults are set for and havent been touched since November 2012. Kinda freaking out cause I've worked with and poked around in Qradar before for some work stuff but have not had to run something this important, especially for a boss who is freaking out cause its an emergency that they just discovered the last guy was doing nothing. Though now that I think about it my anxiety lessens a little cause if that guy skated for 2 and a half plus years surely I can fake it for a month or two while I learn this drat thing.

How is private cloud any different from just running your own data center where you host your internal applications.

Lenovo Think* isn't affected. Private Cloud is whatever program you put on top of your vcenter / xen / "software-defined datacenter" (new buzzword!) to allow automated provisioning and management - it encompasses IP allocation, a pretty GUI, capacity tracking, ownership, and deployment of various VMs. Cloudforms (Redhat), Cloudfoundry (VMWare), Openstack (Rackspace), Cloudstack (Citrix), Eucalyptus, are all private cloud products and they all suck in various unique ways. Unfortunately, learning one of these products is like learning a specific application - the knowledge does not generally transfer. Unless it goes all the way down to the hardware layer (Openstack), HA/FT is generally handled below what you'd think of as the "Cloud Layer".

Something that's a real problem that's being ironed out still is that the "private cloud" is now a very complex application you have to have a team to manage / tweak / maintain. It has it's own patches and updates which need to be managed and deployed, and one fuckup can spell doom for your entire basket. And the products are so new that they haven't gone through a decade of shakedown like vmware / xen has. You also end up crossing your fingers and deploying into production because a testing environment for these products is not cost effective, and sometimes there is no actual way to export / import data into the application for real software lifecycle dev/qa/prod promotion, or an automated install for disaster recovery. Lookin' at you, CloudForms.

I've tried to "puppetize" a shop of mostly pets and I felt like I was wasting my time the whole way through, because I was spending a week hacking together manifests to build a server that I could build in less than a day (a server that gets replaced every 5 years). So yeah if I'm building some huge webapp that will have thousands of users I see it, but where does that leave the rest of IT?

When I hear an application needs to be scaled I think of increasing vCPUs, RAM, I/O or splitting database, services, to run on multiple servers. You're still basically increasing CPUs and memory available by creating a bunch of smaller machines. Think about it. If you had an application which was maxing a 4U server, and you couldn't scale up anymore, how would you scale out? Apply the same principles, but realizing that the vast majority of applications hardly use anything most of the time, but may need the ability to burst rapidly during [payroll or QE cycles or large builds or frontpage of Reddit]. Plus you may want to be able to click a button to give your developers new machines that are exactly the same. Then use those same images for building the app and deploying it, so you never heard "works on my machine" There are a lot of good talks on "breaking up the monolith". SOA and microservices are hard, but developers should worry about that. Service discovery through Consul or etcd or other "swarming" solutions let machines establish who's part of the cluster and who's doing what without user intervention and with very little code. Then you front it with HAproxy or whatever to split connections up from your public IP to various webservers, and those, in turn, use pooled connections to something like cassandra or mongodb or whatever that can scale out better than traditional database servers. Or traditional DBs that you have running master-master

There are solutions for gracefully restarting instead of doing 100 frontends at once, if you want them.

There's certainly a lot LESS value in all of this if your app literally just runs on one server and isn't a lot of work to configure. There's still benefit in having your app's "installation checklist" exist as executable code instead of a document on a wiki, though. You can test the build quickly and easily. Once you've tested it, you know it works and will continue to be done correctly 100% of the time. Making all your changes through config management means you can't forget to update the documentation; the config IS the documentation. If some shitlord manually edits the config, Puppet or w/e will change it back next time it runs. You can keep the whole thing in version control so you can easily answer questions like "huh, performance got a lot worse last Tuesday. What if anything did I change?" Purely selfishly, you're also putting a very very high demand skill on your resume, too! edit: And yes, <random CRM app> probably could be outsourced to a SaaS vendor pretty effectively.
