EP115a - How has Sysadminning changed in the past decade(ish)

Welcome to Episode 115 Main Topic 

How has sysadminning changed

System Operator

System Administrator

BOFH references galore



The ability to automate builds made it easier to build
faster

But systems were still mostly manually configured



Now systems were not bound to hardware in the traditional
sense

VM Sprawl

Meant larger fleets to manage



Templating and cloning makes standing up new machines
even faster/simpler



Pets vs Cattle

Disposable systems

Containerization

Infrastructure as code! 

On-demand functions like lambda



Any predictions on what Sysadmin will look like in 10
more years? Or even 5?! 



Sysadmin in the classic sense

Early Build Automation (such as kickstart, and ghost)

Virtual Machines, and what that meant

Config management and automation

Cloud Deployments

What’s next?
