aka "make the devops team deal with it even though we're paying double their salary to a 'Security & Compliance Director' who hasn't renewed any of the certs they used to get this job since 1997 and hasn't the foggiest clue how the SIEM works when the auditor shows up"
Someone convinced the right person to “put stuff on kubernetes” and then booked it for another job/greener pastures with barely any production services, or networking configured.
Thus an opening for a new SRE and once again I find myself looking at a five headed monster of confusing ingress rules, unnamed/unlabeled pods, unclaimed volume specs…
Sigh.
I was at my org for roughly 9 months, I came in as part of a large class of new hires across the entire org.
The last 4 months we were in crunch mode trying to land a big client that leadership continued saying would be a game changer for us. My eyebrow was already raised, because if one company is that much of a game changer, what happens if we don't get that client?
Sure enough, as I was texting with a friend who was spared, he let me know as soon as the last person left the office that day from layoffs, company had the weekly all-hands and announced sure enough, they didn't get the client.
