Well, you can find some nice links there, once you hover over the picture elements.
I had contact with most of the stuff there, since we use all that in the company.
>What are you working on?
Automating deployment of systems.
>What tools do you use?
KVM, Qemu, libvirt, virt-install
Bash for scripting, some Python
>What scripts have you built?
Stuff for automating deployment of single systems and whole infrastructures. Still working on that.

I'm a software engineer, never worked or looked into DevOps, so pardon the noobyness.
One of my roles is to look after a series of servers that are connected to some test cards on COM ports. Unfortunately, they are not setup too well, running Windows Server 2012 64-bit.
Yesterday I rebooted them all to carry out Windows Updates and restarted all the services that carry out the tests on the cards. All seemed well. Today, the server was overloaded with people trying to build their software (large builds, think compiling a Linux distro size) and it basically locked us out. It wasn't frozen, but it was timing out on network share access and remote desktop. Logging in locally it was also being extremely slow.
In the end I was forced to just press the power button. Once it rebooted, I tried looking through event viewer to identify anything, but nothing immediately jumped out, especially as the test card drivers aren't signed so event viewer is full of issues due to the drivers.
Could someone recommend monitoring software I can utilise on Server 2012?

The only experience I have with DevOps are the fucking insufferable Pajeets that it's outsourced to in our company.

When you're not qualified for the position you get put in the devops group. Usually its filled with interns and diversity quotas.

I store the Word documents in SharePoint for source control and use new grads as Agents.

Why does it has dev in it?
>>
>>60918816
Because writing bash scripts and configs is now development.
Well, it's not worse than pajeet-quality coding, that most devs create nowadays.
>>
>>60918816
Partly because management needs to be reminded that IT has a certain need to work together with developers. And management too, though they kind-of realized that in most shops (developers were often some of the people closest to the brass, apart from secretaries).

She probably engineers(picks what) snacks for the office and engineers(orders/delivers) lunch. Engineering social interactions(distractions) throughout the day. Isn't it normal to have professional interaction specialists in your office?

What are you trying to monitor? Resource use and contention issues? It sounds like either way you'll still need to restart in this circumstance. I'd suggest limiting other jobs so that the system doesn't lock up.. maybe virtualize/containerize things to make your life easier.

I manage Puppet for a pretty large infrastructure, 2k servers. I write a lot of Python and Ruby scripts too. Also created a web application to manage r10k Puppetfiles. I wish I could open source that but there's too much red tape for open sourcing software at my company.

How did you find Puppet's scaling?
I remember having to do a whole song and dance with MCollective to get any kind of reasonable perfo lance with more than a dozen machines.
>>
>>60919617
Mcollective is a huge piece of shit, fuck mcollective. I got rid of it when we switched from enterprise Puppet to community. Otherwise Puppet scales ok, you just have to throw more compile masters at it.
Chef is much better in this regard since catalog compilation happens on the node not the server.

You wouldn't want your company to be labeled sexist for not meeting quota, would you?
