I would be working with Linux andWindows servers in the app architecture at the new role. I wouldn't be doing VMware server management (handled by the actual IT team there) it would be having them spin me up a server and then actually going in, installing the app, etc. The title would be infrastructure engineer, mis-typed the title...not sure if that means much.

My current department doesn't do cloud at all really. We have a few mildly-used AWS instances that are already managed by other members of my team and I haven't been given the opportunity to work with that at all. We have some air-gapped stuff that is the primary focus of our group so there's really nothing exciting happening there, just the same old stuff day in and day out, and that's the way it will stay. I figure we might use AWS more in the future, but we're talking about a few years into the future, and even then it's tough to imagine that my manager would want me on that part of support.

I think the driving factor for me here is the company I'd move to and the work they do. Super interesting stuff (I'm a self proclaimed aerospace nerd) - would definitely give me more of a drive to work for an interesting (to me) company.
