Hobby wise I

Welcome!

Also - DevOPS really has turned into "Site Reliability Engineer" which makes a little more sense.

@Mr Snotty - Yeah totally agree. I like to think that

 

class SRE implements DevOps

 

We're still trying to figure out what that looks like for our org (Google's done some awesome work in this area). At the moment I'm sort of an Operations Engineer and SysAdmin but we'll get there :)

What kind of certs do you need to be an AWS architect?

 

 

 

And more importantly... do you run and bake in sufficient quantities for them to offset each other?

Haha @cddt. I like to think that I offset one with the other. But the proof of the pudding is in the eating *ba dum tsssh*

AWS runs a solution architect certification, which I don’t actually have. Instead I’m a certified Systems Administrator (associate). I’ve done the courses for system administration and security.
