I just realised that I haven't touched a centos/redhat machine in more than a couple of years. Everything I do now is Kubernetes based or using cloud services (or k8s cloud services).
What about it listeroons? Is your fleet of centos boxes ever expanding or are you just taking care of a single java 6 jboss application that takes care of the companies widget stocks?
How are your jobs changing?
Nope. Well... actually, my manager's talking about Ubuntu or maybe even FreeBSD. He's *extremely* upset with RH being so slow - 8 should have been out for some time, for one, and a lot of 7, even with SCL, is far behind, and our researchers want newer software.
But most of our Office's work is done in-house. Lots of CentOS and RH, lesser amounts, AFAIK, of ubuntu.
Cloud? Why would I want to go back to time-sharing on a mainframe?*
