Does anyone have a point to site / client to site VPN solution that can run in Azure for end users that they don't absolutely hate?

The OpenVPN appliance is the least worst VPN service I have used

Once Wireguard gets dynamic addressing supported and cleans up their Windows client a bit more it'll probably become my recommendation. It works great as a VPN right now, but the Windows client is super beta and it currently requires every client have a static IP within the VPN subnet. Still, the fact that configs are simple enough to be sent as a text message or QR code is wonderful, not to mention that the design is one of having a secure and sane configuration by default rather than many of the other solutions that give you a lot of legacy support options to trip over.

OpenVPN has been the most "just install it and go" client I've used in my previous jobs.

It's kinda tough, being intermediate with linux, working with someone who is very advanced with linux but seems to think the information you need just naturally materializes in a human brain, and thinks the absolute best way a person learns how to do linux things is to not be taught anything from someone who knows and to resort to google forever until you figure it out.

Is configuring OpenVPN for RADIUS a huge pain in the rear end?

My dumb daydream is to use my Azure skills to move the socialist paradise that is Canada. Or just live in cities that are clean and people don't litter. Sickening posted: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. Quite a bit of the time, I found that is it true to the case but with spending money even in business thing get incredibly serious and emotional. No one wants to go to management even if it's not their fault and tell them IT has been loving up budgeting for years. On a final note, going from CapEx to OpEx is always just kind of weird especially when you've been buying physical hardware, renting colos, etc. for decades.

We dodged like 9 months of dedicated compliance work bullshit at a previous job by running everything through openvpn with pam_sso and some creative language skills while filling out auditing checklists and poo poo. Openvpn is fantastic.

One of my proudest accomplishments is pushing Privileged Access Workstations to the admin team. They're nothing special, just Windows 10 on a separate ESXi and VLAN, but it made me happy. Firewalls rules are simpler, I got everyone using admin accounts, and cleaned up an otherwise odious Domain/Enterprise Admin structure. We made a GitLab too for all the random powershell scripts and router configs. Full disclosure: There's only 5 of us so it wasn't a big project.

I'm sure they mean per month. Does anyone have any impressions of Denovo? I think I've heard people mention them here, although maybe I'm thinking of Deloitte. Might be interviewing with them.

$20k/mo even USD sounds way too much for a typical DevOps Engineer unless they’re in the Bay Area and at one of the big tech firms.

One of our facilities just got a new CEO, who is predictably doing the new CEO thing of making big changes and throwing weight around. And then the ticket comes in.... Backstory, we pay a lot of money to license software A that does a thing. New CEO opens ticket requesting us to begin working with vendor to integrate software B, which does the same thing as software A. They're market competitors. CTO says, "hey the company has already built this exact infrastructure with software A, just use that instead. We can have you up and running in a few hours". "Nope, we've already signed the contract, proceed with setting up software B". Is there a word for the frustration of watching how much money you make per year be instantly pissed away by Mr. I-have-3-degrees' ego? Whole thing could have been avoided with a single e-mail. We'll see how long he lasts. He's the 4th person in that CEO position over the past 2 years, and was specifically hired to "cut costs". Ahh, management  oh yeah and the integration will take about a week in man hours

Business deals are extremely complex even outside of costs there's legal, compliance, support, etc. all for both good and bad reasons. The CEO might be an idiot but after being in IT for a decade I get that it's much more complex than originally anticipated.

Yeah, but if the CEO hasn't even consulted with the CTO on a huge software deal something is horribly hosed and it's almost certainly the CEO.

Speaking of compliance though, I work in healthcare so we have electronic protected health information (ePHI) under HIPAA. Last time I probably spent 20 minutes trying to explain to this guy why we couldn't just use "any 'ol text messaging app". Luckily, that time he ran his idea by IT first instead of impulse buying the first product that showed up on a google search.
