Congrats on your new role! How was the interview process like?

You can use Cloudwatch alarms and Events using predefined metrics. Have them attached to send SNS notifications to your team via email.

I see. By “Oracle Database” I meant exporting the delimited csv files on to the Django Database.

Then define your app behaviour based on unique queries to the Django Database. Like filtering Id’s, names, dates etc. Not sure if this is the approach your had in mind. I say this since one of Django’s strength is it’s ability to used as a CRUD app

IMO I think Django might be an overkill. I assume the output from the Oracle database would be stored in a Django Database?

Still Valuable. You have to learn the entire stack and see how the relationships and dotted lines inter-relate.

For instance you might have clients that need Windows automation with Infrastructure Provisioning.

You can leverage your System Admin experience in designing the Infrastructure VPC and Subnet Cidr. Also writing Powershell scripts to automate in a CI/CD tool like Jenkins.

Show me the money!!

Not really understanding your question. Roles don’t automatically create themselves you have to define them.

If you have multiple roles to apply to a user, you might consider the aws sso module. It gives you the option of defining Custom or Defined Permission Sets.

I would rather have a full Ubuntu Laptop OS and then have windows on a virtual box

Ansible or Puppet should help solve your issue.

Only difference is Puppet is agent based so it might involve manually installing the agent binary files on your server.

But then again, what use is a server without WiFi?

Work on Data Lakes and Data Warehousing. Perfect Documentation and Technical Writing

I think it just boils down to the candidates not being good enough. A student would be quick to realize that the skills are only appreciated if they are applicable in real life.

He or she would proactively seek out ways to practice, understand his or her shortcomings and prepare before seeking out for Job opportunities

Most people these days come in to IT as it’s seemly well paying. They IMO lack the inherent interest.

I always dislike PMs with no technical skills esp in the IT Industry. What are you a Paper Pusher or a secretary?

Most people are going the Cloud, Developer, DevOps Roles The path of Helpdesk being the rite of entry in to IT are limited these days.

Trust aside you can. From the code you can reverse engineer the code base.

It’s usually public on GitHub. This way you can inspect the code, number of commits, branches and most importantly the contributors

Lol. It would take 60 players at least 80minutes.

This is funny.

You can use gsub to “correct” the spelling in the Place column then merge with inner-join.

Let’s say the corrections need to be done on the second dataframe called Places.

gsub(“-“, “”, Places$Place)

gsub(“xx”, “x”, Places$Place)

The above code should correct the Winter-fell spelling etc.

To be fair to him. U can host something similar docuwiki privately for internal use.

I disagree. Ideally as a Sysadmin. Your should have scripts for day to day tasks.

Scripts for creating users, Scripts for GPOs, Scripts for Patches and updates, Scripts for policies and permissions etc

All these scripts should be stored in a git repository, so it could be used by the Team.

In 2021, knowing to code is a must! Our Job to creatively solve problems.

Was this in 2021 or 2003?

I would use Ansible for that

I won’t call the code base a monolith since it calls different AWS Services at different points in time.

I would say the code base needs to be refactored and the AWS services in use need to be reviewed.

IMO, your priority should be about figuring out the overall architecture. IMO that shd be keeping you up at night wld be:

Are you going server or serverless?

Micro services?

What infrastructure as code would be deployed ?

Disaster recovery?

What framework would be uniformly implemented, ITIL?

Monitoring & Observability?

How would be manage your certificate services

Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity.

SIEM ELK Stack

How would your handle your subnetting and layers setup should that it can scale

CICD?

Authentication ldap, Okta?

IMO, as long as the camera contractor is following a project plan and has communicated set deadlines and is fully aware of work expectations that would be the last thing on my mind.

Sometimes I feel today’s managers get carried away with the perks of the office and forget what is really important. That’s why we have so many breaches and ransomeware attacks these days.

Truth is IMO, a lot of organizations have their IT infrastructure badly managed. Recent Ransomeware attacks have exposed them. (Some organizations have been attacked more than once!)

No overall strategy, systems and policies in place. They do not have a generic framework that is uniform and strictly adhered to.

The Managers just wing it and hope for the best. I can’t fathom with the ransomeware attacks companies have not reviewed their Infrastructure for vulnerabilities.

IMO ransomeware attacks are evidence of poor IT leadership
