Cool, done with the OS war argument and now we can move on to the cloud equivalent. It's almost as if someone doesn't know the world doesn't revolve around them.

I’m in AWS and GCP, so it doesn’t seem that compelling. Gcloud has a few features that are way ahead (global flat networks(I can route from Singapore to Frankfort to Ashburn in one VPC), better CI stuff and GKE is the best k8s) and AWS is the best all around cloud.

Azure has some interesting stuff but it doesn’t offer anything that compelling.

It wasn’t mine, it was a coworkers that got Jamf-ed as we dipped our toes back into allowing it on our laptops and he was the guinea pig. As a division we’ve avoided centralized management because of issues like that in the past. The point I was trying to make there is that there are a lot of user hostile stances that breed anger for little return. In this case it just means that we keep our poo poo off central management(if we have a half decent partner in IT we’d reconsider it makes us do more work).



And it was implied that I was talking from my perspective. ACS has some ok things and if I was a .net shop I’d be looking at it for managed k8s. Their virtual kublet has also beaten fargate/EKS to the market.

There is also a mongo wire compatible db engine that might be interesting if you are heavily into mongo.


As far as AWS, it’s the largest player in the cloud world, gets first class support for things like TF faster and is the default target for just about anyone going to the cloud. Does it have some narly limitations? Yes. Are there some really lovely offerings? Yes. But as far as breadth and depth it blows GCP and Azure out of the water.

I've had to deal with Azure classic for a while and getting it to migrate to ARM has been a pain, but once all that's done Azure is pretty great (insanely easier if you know PowerShell). Migrating a classic VNet to a new ARM ExpressRoute was only a 4-line script.

Azure Service Manager was god awful.

Azure Resource Manager is insanely awesome. And a worthy competitor towards AWS, GCP, etc.

"We do all our testing in production" is an appropriate solution for an ever-increasing number of companies

This only "works" because management is still very willing to fire a low-level employee when something goes wrong in production.

The process is perfect, we just need to get rid of a person if an executive ever experiences an issue.

I know people will take their preferred shell/scripting language to the grave, but caring what people use to SSH into stuff/interact with an API seems like a bit much.


Also today I used PowerShell and gShell to do what would have been days of work for me and my coworker in uhhhhhhh.... about 8 lines of code. (Plus an Excel macro and a gSheet script.)

“Testing in production” is essentially a requirement once you’re building web apps at a certain scale. You simply can’t generate the requisite amount of variety of traffic and interactions to truly test internally. Canary releases and the like are you only real option. And many very successful companies do this very well.

But then they aren't testing against all users at once, and there is an automated migration and a roll-back plan in place before deployment.
When people talk about testing in production, what I think of is an elite hacker editing their PHP scripts in Notepad++ on Windows, over a live FTP connection to the server.

I found out that you can use Azure AD + a yubikey as a way of authing to windows hello (or at least can in the near future) which means I might move my homelab and infra bullshit over from AWS to play with it for a while. Yubikey auth would be Very Fun.
