I worked as a sysadmin in the provinces for 8 years - but left for Devops when I was asked to fix keyboards again

At six in the morning I got up, ran to the train, went to Moscow, worked there all day, and at half past nine returned to my city. The next day the same thing was repeated. There was a lot of work, several large customers did not have an administrator on the staff, apparently, it was more profitable for them to drive a person from the region.





In my second year, after an internship in one of two IT companies in my city, I asked them to work. They took me on a salary of 15 thousand rubles. It was 2012, the concept of devops was just in its infancy, and I started working as an assistant to the system administrator. The tasks during the day were limited to maintaining Windows servers, installing supplies, writing instructions, and checking what the programmers had done. I was spinning between the server room and the institute to the detriment of my studies, the priority was to stay in the position I received.





And I got it by inheritance from the previous admin. In the server room, everything was powered through a bunch of surge protectors. Once they could not withstand a couple of voltage surges, the button on one of the filters was sealed, everything sparkled.





It's good that usually I was late and was the last to leave work - I heard a crack and managed to pull the switch.





In my free time, I did interesting things for myself: I started to automate, I began to look at what Ansible is. Once it helped, I prepared and installed a client environment that consisted of Docker containers. There was no Internet, everything was isolated, I had Docker images with me. Ansible helped roll it all out in isolated and open circuits.
