So much of what I work with is now going cloud, either AWS or Azure. But when things go wrong, the first thing I normally would check, the operating system, is not made available to me

The company I work for was bought out in 2020, the mother company is now looking at the cloud for a number of apps. They are also thinking about a colo options for my two DC's. Right now believe it or not, after crunching the numbers as to what it cost us to run the two DC's and have two full time staff to run them and factoring in many many factors, we are 18 million dollars cheaper after you run the numbers over the next 8 years. The cost to move all the gear, have "hot hands" pay extra staff to move and create new/same apps while the fulltime staff maintains the current environment., with zero down time; as well as all the other things we looked at just didn't work out well for those ideas. That said I'm about 4 years out from early retirement. Even if they chose to go to the cloud and colo the DC's it would take them years, heck it took them 3 years just to start talking about this.

I told my director that if they looked like they were going to go that route anyway I would stay until the two DC's were migrated, but I would be putting in my retirement papers just before it was all completed. He laughed and said they weren't going to go that route. Of the two company, we were the only company that was making money why they were at a net loss last two years. They need un operating at 100 percent.

The cloud is great...until it isn't. And when it's not, it's a freaking nightmare.

I’m peevish enough about Office 365 or Microsoft 365 or whatever it is. I’d go nuts if my job was dealing with cloud-based issues.

Where I work they are trying to go 100% cloud based. My boss has strongly suggested I get a cloud security certification. So I am working on some Azure courses. He also wants me to get my CISSP, so my poor brain is going to be destroyed with all of this. He said he would like for me to have an Azure cert like AZ-500 and CISSP by this time next year.

I will cease being concerned with cloud-based data issues on Friday, March 3rd.

“The cloud” is just other people’s data centers. The intellectual notion of “the cloud” arose from the potential enormity of networked servers. The reality is renting space on other’s server farms.

 

[Tin Man]

AWS, Azure, Snowflake, Palantir Foundry are the hot topics for migration to the cloud.

Are you retiring? or starting a new carrier?

Retiring from my current employer without firm plans to join another enterprise.

Good for you. I'm about 3 years away, of I retire early. That's going to depend on a few things, but I'm making my plans.

I don't know what I'm going to do. I am just sick of IT life. I think I'm just going to open a food truck.

Heck, once I retire and have traveled every where I want to go. I'll just buy some land, build a storage lot and let the money roll in as I watch the Vols win games.
