The problem is designing a workload for a cloud provider and not taking into account that we’re are many more efficient and cost effective ways to do it. Instead it sounds like they just threw some poo poo in vm’s without any regard for the platform they were designing for.

Methanar posted:Using technologies that the devs are familiar with rather than going hogwild on a nosql db for the sake of it isn't a bad thing. I am fine with what you are familiar with as long as it makes reasonable sense. I didn't say nosql, I said SQL. As in SQL enterprise... in aws. Not even a lift and shift because of other plans gone wrong. A brand new product, a new project. No.

Let me know if there's a better place to put this question. Sanity check: Is the fact that any time we create a new Azure subscription, we also have to update the routing tables of all existing subscriptions to get to it excessive? Or is it not that bad, as my co-worker says? Apparently there is some gotcha where Azure ignores default routes if you have an ExpressRoute. I'm trying to build out automation for Subscription creation behind a UI (that will also handle all the associated backend internal processes, like setting up billing, e-mail lists, routing, notifications, logging, etc.) and it makes me leery that we have to touch all the other production subscriptions' routing tables in the process of creating new subscriptions. I'm also not sure what the "best" way to go about doing this would be. Just sending the "add route" API call seems the least error prone, but my co-worker is correct that using ARM templates is more self-documenting, I just don't know how robust doing in-lace edits of those and pushing them is.

cheque_some posted:Let me know if there's a better place to put this question. If you're using expressroute you have to set up your own routing tables. You should be able to configure the static routes in an ARM template when deploying the routing table object, you shouldn't have to make an API call every time. Sorry, I can't be specific without asking you for specifics which I don't like doing on a public forum, but PM me anytime.

At my company, the controller/accountant still does some accounting in Peachtree 2007... So yeah, I have to support that. Also she uses a super ancient version of Quicken for the CEO's personal accounting. The Quicken version is so old that it can't print under Windows 7 or higher.

CloFan posted:80% of my server infra was installed over a decade ago, and virtualization is a foreign concept here. We don't have a huge workload, so I'm looking at Hyperconvergence.. It works... But you have to go through Scale for everything. Thought it was pretty expensive for what they were offering.

My dad may still have an old 486/66 with Quickbooks from 95 that he still does his company books on. I used to have to do his data entry and he'd keep a couple 3.5 floppies in a firesafe has his backups.

FWIW In a like for like workload test involving large data sets (1 billion+ rows) RDS SQL Server blew the doors off of RDS MySQL, RDS Postgres and Aurora MySQL for inserts and selects of 2+ joins. Once you get used to the peculiarities of RDS SQL Server it really is a kickass platform.

Had to set up, well more reassure, the President of the hospital could talk to CNN through her computer and to install Zoom. I get there and she followed the link she was emailed and it has a Jabber window up with the camera clearly working. It's a Cisco product now, huh whatever. It's working fine but I want to look good and give her peace of mind so I go looking for a client download. I can't, only available with account and license. gently caress it, I'm not wasting any more time on this. I tell her everything's fine and basically reassure her what they sent is best to use. I make a show of testing the microphone and even playing with camera angles for her. She's happy. I leave. Someone I thought was there with us emails, also needing reassurances that everything's fine. They ask for someone to standby, they get one (only by 30 mins more for him at least). I leave. Turn on CNN at the appointed time, and there she is. Picture and sound totally fine. She sounds palpably nervous. Being that she and everyone around her were freaked out to the point of utter disbelief that the document before them could possibly contain the correct instructions, what else could she be but nervous? There had to be another way, IT must have the extra special way to do it. If I felt like being a GIGANTIC douchbag (and you can tell, I kind of feel like one), I could go back into the work log. "Resolution: User's setup is confirmed as correct. Confirmation attained via international television broadcast. Please stop giving me poo poo to do this late in the day and holding me and other people overtime because people can't trust instructions anymore." It was kind of cool to be there though, she and her EA were composed but like, palpably excited and nervous.

I had a team reach out to me today to make design decisions today about permissions to an environment. Not just hey, this is what we purpose do you think this is okay? Not to audit, but to actually to tell them who in their project will have access to what. While this isn't impossible, seems incredibly impractical at the infancy of a project.
