I've been asked by dev teams to "turn down the latency of the internet connection" so yeah I'd say a network-focused job is going to be fine until you hit retirement age

I once had a VIP tell me to call up T-Mobile and have them move a satellite closer to his house so he would get better reception.

In my youth I was at a VP's house setting up his home office and he said that he would offer me a cup of coffee but he's going to drink it all.

That was an all-timer, I thought our lead network engineer was going to have a stroke. “Technically the speed of light I guess? But that is NOT how this works and has no bearing on customer performan—“ “Hot drat, the speed of light?!? Say no more, we’re printing the mailers” closes laptop, heads directly to the bar They put a pic of a stealth bomber on it and the speed of light in mph. I really wish I had kept a copy.

He is a much better fixer of issues than getter doner of projects. Just working on tickets would be a much better job for him.

 Escaping the MSP rebadging disaster. hosed myself on negotiating but I'm still coming out slightly ahead. 100% remote and a tiny pay raise. I'll see how long I can string along the old job before I really need to eject. For now? Enjoy Hawaii in a few weeks before starting this new one.

The only thing I've liked ServiceNow for in asset tracking, and ticketing. At least when I've worked with it before it seemed to handle both of those things well.

I'm not defending SNOW at all... but like any big enterprise software it's only as good as the people that implement it and the resources you give it. We have a massive team of people for SNOW and pretty much everything in IT runs through it. It does it's job and I think it's pretty cool how everything is integrated, and it integrates with with other tools like Password Safe. I will readily admit though that not many companies are going to dedicate these kinds of resources to it, and I still have complaints about it. I feel it gets a bad wrap sometimes though.

i am a moron posted:I also don’t consider any part of k8s to be networking so if you’re having issue with scaling or whatever I don’t personally consider that the network and it would probably wind up being the devs problems because that happens and like you said they need retry logic Network is very much a part of k8s

Yea I don’t think so. It’s not traditionally what people refer to as networking, once it reaches an ingress controller that’s a k8s problem whether it’s related directly to the idea of packets moving from point A to point B or not

Would you not call that networking too? Azure has the same concept so I’m familiar but it’s still part of the service at a really abstracted level beyond, like, typical route/switch. And I dunno, maybe if I thought about it more I’d agree. But I’d be more inclined to see that as part of k8s itself. It’s L7 but I’ve never looked at an app gateway or a load balancer and been like oh yea, I need to call net eng. This is all just my opinion and I seem to be democratically incorrect so idk. I’m more of a platform person and I was thinking about it from a ‘would I blame the network’ perspective if it was hitting a service successfully and then having issues. I’ve very very rarely seen packet loss in the integration chain in terms of, say, a switch dropping packets or something dying in a vnet randomly.

Also DNS, k8s loves dns. Is dns networking?

You don’t even need DNS for a network to work. We could just be using IP addresses. Think about that
