At the risk of joining another survey dogpile, I also work 95% in AWS with a smattering of physical boxes we can’t do away with for various reasons. I just wrapped up leading a project to migrate the relatively small division I work in into AWS and my boss wants to make the case to senior leadership for me to do the same for bigger, more important things.

I work for a large, non cloud specific MSP and most of my clients have at least some cloud deployments. As a developer on the personal side all of my apps are written for GCP services (primarily Appengine)

Working for an MSP is bad. My main issue is that they are always 24/7 operations which means expect to work bad hours. It was either collapse into debt for me or work for a MSP. Hopefully you have a good reason.

Currently in the middle of moving all our stuff from an MSP to AWS. So I’m spending 90% of my time in AWS now. That’ll be 100% of my time next year. Being spoiled with having APIs for everything and being not dependent on other teams for a lot of stuff, I’m not sure if I want to ever work with on prem infra again.

Stuck with mostly on-prem at an MSP with 200+ small/medium sized clients. I do a fair amount of O365 stuff but obviously that's not quite Azure. I'm pushing a few clients to migrate some services to Azure as I think it will be better for them in the long run, but we'll see how that goes. We do have some clients fully in Azure, some have VMs with plain old AD and some are using strictly AAD and have lovely device management capabilities. One of the clients in AAD is trying to get HiTrust certified which is turning into a huge laugh, but they didn't decide to do that until AFTER going the cheap route with AAD; AAD is fine until you need to manage users/devices at a more granular level.

Our login screen has the IT policy disclaimer you have to click ok order to get in. It feels so much like one of those “FACEBOOK STOP! You don’t have my permission to use my photos” screeds and is completely useless.

I feel like most people just spin poo poo up in cloud not realizing you can cut the cost 60% by using reserved instances. Marketplace & On-demand instances are for suckers

Presently my work is mostly on prem, but I use a few cloud tools rather than platforms. I'm standing up a new vulnerability management program while we wait for our SIEM to get upgraded to allow us to more easily ingest O365 and Azure logs. That being said, our infrastructure hasn't really moved to any form of hybrid Azure setup yet (beyond O365).

Sepist posted:I feel like most people just spin poo poo up in cloud not realizing you can cut the cost 60% by using reserved instances. Marketplace & On-demand instances are for suckers Yeah, assuming you have some fairly steady-state workloads, it's a no brainer (and if you don't, go with spot instances!). People get scared of lock-in, but the savings are pretty crazy. We're not brave enough to go with 3 year RI's but 1 year is totally reasonable. An old boss who was extremely anti-cloud would always make sure to use on-demand numbers in any pricing exercises. Yes, turns out the worst case scenario is bad! But it's also totally unrealistic and disingenuous. I was actually just checking out our RI numbers when you posted this. Our environment isn't even that big and they're saving us like mid 5 figures annually between EC2 and RDS. You don't pick cloud for cost savings vs on-prem, but there are definitely pretty easy things you can do to make the difference less horrifying.

Marketplace & On-demand instances are for suckers Its the first thing I thought of when I read someone saying the bill was too high. If the bill is high, you are either over-sizing things, spinning up the wrong solution, or not being honest with yourselves about what your on prem spend is. And yes, if you have a bunch of static, pet servers and aren't reserving those instances you care kind of lighting money on fire you don't have to. If you need something temporary or haven't right sized something yet, use the marketplace sparingly. If you have have static, pet servers be honest with yourself and reserve it. Spending 40% more because you don't want to commit is pretty laughable for most use cases.

I dunno if this is the right place to ask. Maybe you guys can point me in the right direction. What do you sysadmin fellas use in terms of SAW/Jump boxes? I'm researching a bunch of different options and I'm just not sure which direction to go.

Getting people to consistently design administrative duties around them for the desired level of security is a gigantic pain the rear end. Its like herding cats. They have usually trended to be used inappropriately or not at all IMO. This is where I have always wanted an infosec team worth their poo poo to help monitor and police this poo poo but I haven't had one of those in forever.

I’ve heard of this “cloud” but have yet to see it myself. We still have a big-rear end data center. I’m interviewing with a team right now that will be moving a lot of things to Google cloud in the near future so I may be touching it for the first time pretty soon.

Last job we had a client that used jump boxes, the environment we worked in was all windows so we just had an RDS farm that we connected to, had all the RSAT tools installed there and we could manage 90% of things directly from there. Again, it was all windows even the hyper visors, though I guess we had one linux appliance for their security team but my only management of that was deploying the OVA. I guess there was network gear but that's pretty agnostic.
