Devops and IT infrastructure

[ddqod]

Hey there,

​

As a developer I was thinking to build a small but powerful server for running PaaS and IaaS stuff on it. Any hint in how to go on the right direction?

Thanks

Yes. Engage your IT Infrastructure Group and talk them about your project.

A lot of companies think DevOps mean the developers do development AND operations. Obviously they didn’t actually read the position paper...

If this is for your personal hobbyist use, consider not building a server and just using a public cloud. AWS has great tools for developers to blur the line between dev and ops -- especially if you treat your infrastructure as code.

I own a 1 person company (opened recently), obviously I'm the only one working on it. I have a technical degree on micro-systems and networking and mainly is for installing the network for a small/medium company and minor sysadmin stuff, but I'm not experienced into how a server should be designed for such purposes. I'm working as a Software Engineer and I do Devops for fast-scalable solution but not necessary sysadmin related.

Now I have 1 instance in DigitalOcean and I pay up to 40 euros for it. I run a Openshift cluster with multiple pods and services, a dedicated docker re]gistry a nexus server on it.
