my company basically takes over from this when either the original startup it guy quits, they have some terrible disaster or they grow a little and then someone on the board tells them to hire a company and they need to have backups and they can't just use their first name in lowercase and never change passwords before the it guy quits or they have some terrible disaster.


buy computers at the apple store and have an office within walking distance of an apple store. use the free tier of whatever email and productivity software there is. a handful of people actually need excel regardless. use kubernetes on top of AWS/GCP

I think you will find that my bespoke init scripts implement all the kubernetes functionality you need

besides i don't really NEED cloud providers anyway. if one big database server and a couple web gateways is good enough for stackoverflow, it's good enough for my lovely startup

i think you have to buy an amd k8 processor, that gives you one kubernete. then as you scale you purchase more k8s

you need 3 nodes minimum, but you could run them on single host to save money!

this sounds like a lot of work. I just want office stuff and code stuff. like documents and repos and messaging and emails.

also everything has to be distributed now so a vpn I guess

Why bother with a vpn when you can just expose your rdp and other services directly to the internet.

Mine looks about the same, but I did make sure to turn off password based auth in favor of ssh keys.

Overall I can't wait to ditch it when Wireguard becomes integrated in the kernel of Openbsd 6.8

Kubernetes allows you to switch between aws, azure, gcp, and other cloud services for infrastructure instead of being locked in. And with certain precautions you can have portability between vendors, for disaster recovery or availability

Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?
first implementation of the service was by the CTO using Common Lisp

you’re not allowed to rewrite it and he will fight you on any attempt to use other tools

thats because that one intern who put linux on his cv kinda did it on the side and also everyone else

e: also i have provided and maintained a kubernetes-as-a-service platform for our company for over two years now and let me tell you that *faaaaaaaaaart*

I’d use kubernetes if I was starting somewhere, but it’s something that I’d only use with both clear buy in and because I am ultra familiar with it, and it’s a “force multiplier” for just me. if it wasn’t me I’d stay away with a barge pole if you don’t have experience with it.


basically just like anything else use tooling you know inside and out and makes you go fast. if you have to refactor there will be time to do that at your next job after the startup closes down.

they keep talking about it being a """low-cost hub""" despite litetally needed about 3 TB of RAM and about 200 CPUs for testing and production

our old hub of a few RHEL servers needed about 120gb RAM and 24 cores
