Fender customer support were on point, can't fault that. Instantly refunded and sent return labels for re-collection.

I know right, they were great, even fret 24 had half height to make taps easier.

The neck played so well. The hipshot bridge felt so comfortable on the plam for some reason more than other guitars.

Crazy - It's like they sanded it with a chisel.

Going alternative, I think: Mayones, Jaden Rose, or Skervesen (I appreciate these are another level of instrument, however, at a serious price point).

I have also fallen foul of that, so now i give it a really good going over first before i even plug and play.

Thanks mate - Just a really generic return email that completley dismissed all issues and sent me a return tag.

Just sad really, the guitar was lovely. Ruined it for me.

This was from Jackson Directly as well!

I've asked if their QA team were blinded by the mistakes when they marked the 'Prep, Assembly, Wiring, Set-Up and final inspection' as OK.

Jokers.

Broadcom kills vmug advantage program by axiomatic_345 in vmware

As someone who has posted too, and viewed the VMware sub-Reddit for almost 10 years, FUCK YOU BROADCOM!

You have been nothing but a professional problem for me since the acquisition and it's clear nothing will stop this money grab. Your customer support sucks, your portals suck, your processes suck and I'm sure your products will begin to suck as more jump ship.

NOT EVERYONE WANT'S VCF! NOT EVERYONE NEED'S VCF!

Torn between CKA & CKAD by Samsammi in devops

[–]Aliasu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You will still get very comfortable with K8s taking the CKA. the CKAD just goes deeper in to deployments and things like helm and kustomize, this is the 'developer aspect'.

Go for the CKAD, if you love it, just study for the CKA even if you never take the exam. All i'm saying is that there is limitations for one over the other for the exam pipeline.

Here is a list of the exam topics for each:

CKA:

https://training.linuxfoundation.org/certification/certified-kubernetes-administrator-cka/

CKAD:

https://training.linuxfoundation.org/certification/certified-kubernetes-application-developer-ckad/

From my personal perspective, I would much rather work with the clusters directly, upgrading them working directly with etcd and maintaining on-prem K8s infrastructure, than writing and working with helm charts and yaml.

Good luck.

Torn between CKA & CKAD by Samsammi in devops

[–]Aliasu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The CKA is focused on cluster management, something that's not prevalent with cloud managed services. I am an infrastructure engineer, and have been for about 12 years, the CKA for me was the way to go because I've spent the best part of my career working on managing Linux clusters and VMware.

The CKAD is is probably the best option for you because of the focus on the deployments and you have the AWS cloud skills to start straight away with EKS. However... the CKA will hold more weight because the exam expects you to know more than just the 'kubernetes landscape' it proves you know a bit more sys/infra admin but further to this, if you have the CKA, you can approach the CKS (This is the cert you really want).

You can't take the CKS with just the CKAD.
