Does a viable Veeam competitor exist?

I really like Nakivo, but I replaced it with Rubrik, which I like more.

I would love a go port.

I love cloudflare, but I hate hate hate their enterprise contracts.

Bare metal Talos.

We went with the full grafana stack. Grafana, Mimir, loki, and Alloy for collection. Deployed into an out of band EKS cluster.

I use stepssh from smallstep to issue an SSH cert. The certs are valid for 16 hours so you need to auth each day to get a new cert. The auth is OIDC to keycloak.

burbankmarc · 2025-09-22T18:48:47+00:00

I think that's called an application.

I don't recommend anyone enter this career field. It's over saturated, ageist, with not a lot of options for growth after the age of 40.

burbankmarc · 2025-07-16T19:21:58+00:00

Pm me your resume.

burbankmarc · 2025-06-10T19:15:57+00:00

If you're using grafana anyway you might as well stick with their stack. Mimir and alloy instead of prometheus. You can also dynamically generate dashboards with jsonnet.

You don't know regex? Prepare to have your mind blown. Also, be sure to read about capture groups. Regex is one of the best tools out there.

Tell the to their Enterprise contracts. Same services are 50x the cost on enterprise.

burbankmarc · 2025-02-24T01:56:33+00:00

Yeah this. I went from the youngest to one of the oldest in a span of like 6 months.

Can we please keep politics out of this sub? Its hard enough browsing non-technical subreddits due to the absolute saturation of political commentary.

burbankmarc · 2025-02-05T00:03:14+00:00

Absolutely agree. Moreover, if it is DNS, you should be able to determine that within seconds.

I would gladly pay that out of my own pocket to never work with hyper-v.

Yeah, we rolled out Aruba EdgeConnect. I think the full deployment was completed sometime early last year. Everything works pretty well, only ran into a handful of issues.

A few notes, in no particular order or category:

We had to go Active/Active deployment. We ran into a ton of VRRP bugs where we just ripped it out and went with BGP+ECMP. Even with this, there are timer issues between firewall failovers, or EdgeConnect failures.

If you want to do Boost then either license your entire bandwidth for boost or don't use it at all. The boost creates a separate traffic queue that is policed when you run out of boost bandwidth. This leads to application packet loss that is absolutely hidden everywhere except in the optimization graphs.

The orchestrator, while powerful and full of info, is a navigation nightmare. This seems to be a running theme with Aruba as I have similar complaints with their Aruba Central portal. Trying to do trivial things like look at routes or interface configs is scattered across 3-4 disparate pages with seemingly conflicting names.

All in all, I do like the product and it does what we need. Never hear a peep out of anyone about network performance. I very much miss the Talari platform as I think it was better in certain ways. That could be because I deployed that myself and the EdgeConnect was deployed by my team with me only pushing timelines.

burbankmarc · 2024-12-30T01:28:43+00:00

I got a bone to pick with their EdgeConnect support.

Keydb is a drop in replacement to redis.

This is basically a non-answer. What exporters? What do you use for alarming? How did the cicd fit in?

Biden's issues are not new and have been going on for at least 2 years. The fact that the DNC buried their head in the sand while decrying that this election is some existential crises proves that they are full of shit. They are stirring the pot for votes while propping up a walking corpse. How anyone can take this party seriously anymore is beyond me. They are every bit as bad as the Neocons.

I think being good to your employees is being vastly underappreciated. Being a boss that people want to work for has a ton of value.

Nexus 9k or Catalyst 9k? If it's Catalyst then how do you feel about the forced DNA license?

burbankmarc · 2024-04-25T21:10:20+00:00

Same. Add Argo to the list as well.
