    I got a bunch of heads this year to double our team footprint.

    I’m using those guys to bring 1mm/month of aws cost back onsite into a kubernetes cluster as well as moving existing on prem services into the same kubernetes and a few other clusters.

    I think we’ve decided the sweet spot is that we build fast with AWS and bring the winners home to lower our opex. Its a relatively nuanced look at how we build and support our products.

    So, I’ve got a few heads on managing legacy, a couple on migrating legacy to on prem k8s, a couple on just managing k8s and physical host lifecycle.

    And I’m just kinda floating just helping people out as needed. And I’m not a manager so I have full ability for direction setting and task creation and I don’t have to do any reviews or expense reports.

    So as a systems eng, this is the best gig I’ve had in 15 years.
