Fiendish Dr. Wu posted:Is development not IT experience? Depends on the system an ex-dev-turned-IT professional is expected to maintain. I did not get many of the interpersonal skills I needed to handle hotheaded / irritable customers in desktop support from my intern dev days, for example. Similarly, a C# dev probably doesn't know way too much about convergent storage architecture. Dark Helmut posted:By comparison, it's a LOT harder for me to place an infrastructure guy right out of school. Eight years ago, there were zero non-CS, specifically-IT engineering programs in North America that weren't simply the base CS degree program with additional certificate work added on top. That is improving now -- I have a brother going back to school in an IT engineering program in Kansas right now and the curriculum looks awesome-- but it's still sparse. I haven't seen any IT-focused MS degrees out there, for example. My only choices for a technical MS right now look like business, project management, or dev.

I was wondering why our O365 deployment team suddenly stopped herping and derping cloud authentication. I had simply assumed they unfucked their federated services. Guess not.

We don't have a compliance thread, so... http://www.velaw.com/Blogs/FCA-Blog/Broad-New-DoD-Cybersecurity-Rule-Could-Put-Defense-Contractors-at-Risk-for-FCA-Allegations/ quote:A contractor, its subcontractor, or a cloud service provider also might fail during contract performance to comply with some NIST SP 800-171 or FedRAMP requirement, or fail to meet its ongoing obligation to identify data the government might consider sensitive. A plaintiff might argue that the contractor’s bills impliedly certified full compliance. At least in the view of a little department in a large legal firm, a head-in-sand approach to CUI / 7000 clause compliance is possibly not going to cut it come next Christmas  I wonder how many IT people in small shops there are out there that haven't met their contracting officers or even know that there are prime / secondary contracts in their users' workflows that have these requirements. Even more speculation: with which sort of frequency and intensity will small fish be audited? God only knows. Will individual technicians haplessly involved in compliance issues with ITAR/CUI/EAR be exposed to False Claims Act liability in a meaningful manner in a post-Escobar (http://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/universal-health-services-v-united-states-ex-rel-escobar/) world, though? I don't think so. Under present jurisprudence, the Department of Commerce / State / Justice does a good job of discerning the difference between systemic, institutional issues (resulting in fines and probationary status or revocation of export licenses) and individuals (same as before but also including prison in the case of people who have been repeatedly warned). Purely from UHS v Escobar, I don't think so. From the standpoint of "the next administration is led by someone who loves to over-dramatize stuff," who actually knows what administrative bodies and issues will be tacitly ignored and allowed to quietly churn and continue to work and which will be subject to interference. So yeah, alarmism concerning "am I going to prison?" on the new compliance deadline for many IT shops of next Christmas is probably unwarranted, but still make sure to (1) cover your rear end with documentation when your superiors asktell you "we're compliant with this gigantic-rear end document, right? You have two days" (2) not certify anything you aren't sure about (3) polish your resume if your superiors press you on the matter and want a certification now because they know they aren't complaint but don't want the blood on their own hands and low-digits or tens or hundreds of millions of dollars are being held up until someone sacrifices their good name and criminal-history-free background for the good of the bottom line. Oh, also (4) re-iterating (1) document the poo poo out of your protestation because your silence can be implied as another cog in your organization or department's implied certification of compliance  You don't want the same kind of corporate leadership that wants to suck up sweet federal  but doesn't want to pay for a good compliance program and subsequent IT position and cost increases to try to cast everything as your fault because "Man, Goon Guy told us so many times we were compliant, this is such a loving surprise to us non-technical managers." There are law shops dedicated to defense based on this sort of strawman-scapegoat strategy. Tread carefully and watch your back. Worst-case nightmare scenario, but there it is.

hey, I have a very poorly written question for y'all, but I hope it makes sense: I'm using kubernetes for most deployment these days, but we are also tasked with managing legacy style vm instances in hyperv, esx, and AWS/Azure (no gce anymore  ). Right now, I'm running SALT/NaCl and SCCM to do desired state configuration and patch managementwhat's some good products for managing basic configuration and patches on cloud hosted vms 9n AWS and Azure? What should I not touch?

Love it and we're using it but I'd prefer to have something you don't need to develop I guess. There's a lot to juggle and we're small ish considering the sheer technological diversity we have to shepherd as an example, my jamf is pretty fire and forget (aside from loving piece of poo poo Mac auth configuration). I know it has a simpler task but I'm curious if low/no work cloud endpoint management exists

#2 Tracking gets weird. And hard. And it's unreliable. And it doesn't stop a thief from reimaging a system or selling it anyway. Use Bitlocker, good passwords, and proper policy management from AD or Intune and you can mitigate the risk of data disclosure by physical theft fairly well. #1 Reuse your existing deployment stack, maybe with a tweak here and there to make your clean travel systems meet the specific need that necessitates a clean system in the first place. Often, that need stems from uncertainty that international travel places on data governance/sovereignty. For example, for a defense contractor a long time ago, I once set up a different OU/GPO set that prevented things like mail and offline files from caching. A foreign state would thus be less likely to access data if the laptop was opened at a border and a password was compelled. Sometimes the threat was state surveillance methods used by, let's say, the UAE or China, where network configuration and access to resources from the home data center needed to pass through a much more complex set of controls and some active monitoring. They following is advice that frankly applies to a lot of situations where a new business need materializes: The use case is known to your team and the people who think they need this. Start with REALLY getting to know the business need, then proceed from there.

triple post, but we do have about half as much spend in AWS as we do in azure, and despite that we have terrific support there as well I think it's my understanding from some of my peers in industry that AWS does a much better job of assigning you resources when you need help, even if you aren't big?

Internet Explorer posted:I started off my career at a really young age and hit the ground running hard. So maybe it's not having the experiences before, or maybe it's some mid-life crisis thing, but I just... don't care. The problems are so incredibly boring. I just want to play video games and go for hikes in the woods. Man alive, I think I'm going through this shift right now. I have had a grind-face-on-belt-sander level of work ethic right up to the beginning of this year, and I now am finding it hard to summon enough focus to get through the day without essentially staring at my project planner--or just off into space--for upwards of an hour. I can and do reliably whip my brain into compliance, but I then end up hyperfocusing and working an hour to two late to feel caught up. I do hope you avail yourself of the people who offered to talk with you. Just reading this is helping a good bit this morning: I'm not alone in this. tokin opposition posted:gently caress... gently caress I jimmied a chatbot into 💀 Spiceworks 💀 ages and ages ago.

Fast food and retail really stunk. For a few years, I was a secretary/receptionist and I actually loved it. I was technically inclined due to my Breaking Computers As A Kid background, and I slowly got to do more and more work as a power user making reports in our accounting software, and eventually that led to a deep enough understanding of Oracle E-Business Suite that the IT team directly hired me. Branched out into SCCM/MDM and VDI stuff since then. I kept my old Subway hat pinned on the corkboard behind my monitor as a reminder of what I was working to avoid.
