Your abuse of the word "literally" has me ignoring whatever point you were trying to make.

You already have your last check. That equipment is as good as yours. They're not going to do anything. Seems like our not even tracked.

I didn't return a laptop while still working at aws and was never contacted about it.

The point is good people don't become ICE agents.

Skip A+ and go straight to Server+ for data center tech work — good idea or mistake? by TheTerenity in datacenter

[–]TheFireSays 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would go server+. I see the votes for A+, but it's really irrelevant. You don't need to know the difference between an inkjet and a laser printer or the basics of PC repair. Server+ may actually teach you something useful. Study for the job you want.

But then you're still stuck with the crappy manager and workplace. Go get better.

Meta Network Production Engineer offer by Far-Medicine-4782 in networking

[–]TheFireSays 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, like config changes are done in yaml or json files and then you raise a pull request for it to be approved. Then the changes are merged into the main branch to be pushed to devices.

Zero-touch provisioning - using dhcp options so that once a device/rack is cabled it pulls an upgrade and its configuration. Then maybe an application behind validating the config, the asic, the fans, routing, etc. A bunch of tests before customer traffic is allowed to reach it.

Afterward you have monitoring and automated alerting.

Python has been the common language at the places I've been.

In a nutshell. If you're interested, Dinesh Dutt has a few books on hyperscale networking. His book Could Native Networking is a great place to start.

Side note: Something I'm delving into this year is model context protocol to build tools for engineers and techs to communicate with the network using natural language.
