He's starting out great with Krypto the Super-Dog!

I see Xen Orchestra supports S3 compatible buckets, does that mean it supports immutable storage? Backup discussions are almost always lacking when talking about platform shifting. I find Azure immutable storage, especially in the archive tier are more affordable than AWS, they don't mention that. I assume Backblaze would work as they offer S3 compatible buckets but that term has burned me on several occasions. Just because there is support for S3 compatible buckets doesn't mean your solution will work. Ran into that with both Synology and QNAP for local storage.

While I sympathize being in a similar position myself, adding a new cluster to an existing vCenter with distributed switch and doing storage vmotion is quite friendly. In Hyper-v/Azure Local land you can use the Azure migration tool however and your downtime is largely limited to the length of a reboot. Not zero downtime like vmotion can provide but not that bad. I did it for 300 VMs to get to Nutanix AHV using Nutanix Move which is very similar.

Changing platforms alltogether is always going to come with some heartburn. if you were only using basic features then its pretty easy. If you were using NSX and need to migrate to Datacenter firewall then heaven help you, they are not the same. SCVMM does a lot of the heavy lifting there but man, in a HA environment it sure requires a lot of resources compared to vCenter.

For me, the amazing part of all of this is that it used to be good enough to know one platform, these days you have to be proficient in several to be successful.

That was the whole point of essentials bundle, for about 50k you could have a 2 node cluster with an active/backup san and have enterprise uptime on a small business budget. We did these every single day.

Combine that with needing licensed versions of ESXi to take snapshot and thus do backups efficiently and you had a very easy to maintain system and it was relatively cheap.

I have plenty of customers that have RTO/RPO measured in seconds that are quite a bit smaller than you'd think. I just wish Zerto would support AHV or really any OpenStack based solution.

"So we're going to put out everything that we think is of the highest quality"

Let us know when you start.

Hopefully the Russians choose not to go looking for this guy.

"I don't think this extra billion is going to do much if he can't deliver HLS"
Elon not deliver on a technology he promised?! That would be crazy.

"If they have hearings with young men who have been alienated by Democrat policies and actions"

There were no goddamn policies that alienated young men. It's a lie and you're a liar.

Landing on Mars is the easy part, getting back off is the hard one, even with the lower-than-Earth gravity. China has a bit of an advantage in that the Chinese government is willing to risk astronaut lives a lot more than the US.

Fortunately he's incompetent and has already run Tesla into the ground. The company is basically living off schizoid incels buying the stock. SpaceX's success is largely based on the fact that they keep Musk away from actual management, but with Tesla a smoking ruin he's going to push his way into that and mess it up too.

Sounds good.

I hire and if you have a college degree I don't care what high school you went to. Hell, I don't care that much which college you went to as long as you have good experience.

You are a really poor writer. I hope English isn't your native language.

"Yes, this launch was a TEST ... a word repeated multiple times throughout the SpaceX feed by the hosts."

And it failed.

"It's not only designed to be completely re-usable (a never-before achieved thing) but to be as rapidly re-usable as an airliner"

Then I guess it failed in that task, huh? Don't think they'll be reusing it anymore.
