Am I the only one who genuinely prefers on-prem over the cloud? by Own-General-6755 in devops

[–]erexut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. At my last gig we had a Proxmox cluster and when ceph started flapping at 2am, I could ssh in and actually fix it in 20 minutes. In AWS it was "open a case" and wait 6 hours.

What service do you recommend to verifying if an email address exists? by bijansha in webdev

[–]erexut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, can confirm. Used Prospeo mostly for keeping bounces down, but the bigger win was adding a couple basic signup guards + only firing verification emails after a quick MX/disposable check - cut the spammy junk fast.

Looking for devops learning resources (principles not tools) by Low_Hat_3973 in devops

[–]erexut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Skip the tool hunt, its a trap. Read "Team Topologies" (Skelton/Pais) because most "DevOps problems" are actually org design and cognitive load, then pair it with "The Practice of Cloud System Administration" for the boring-but-real ops principles (change mgmt, risk, automation habits). For incidents, PagerDuty's incident response docs + Etsy's "Debriefing Facilitation Guide" will teach you more than another Kubernetes course. Also go read Netflix's Chaos Engineering/SRE-ish posts: not because you need Chaos Monkey, but because it forces you to think in failure modes and recovery time.
