What are some cloud notifications services that offer an HTTP API to initiate a notification and can send it to push (iOS, Android, browser), SMS, slack etc.Nice to have: support some escalation rules and feedback from the receiver of the notification.Preferable with a free tier or at least low cost tier.Thanks

Re:Ask HN: How dominant is VMWare (as of Aug 2016)? on Wednesday August 17, 2016 @05:05PM (#12308466)
VMWare is probably ubiquitous in large enterprises.

Small and medium IT shops probably lean towards an open source based solution like KVM.

It's a good idea to use fail2ban even if you use VPN.

1. I don't think it's a good idea to use the same account by multiple people.

2. And you're not using a configuration management tool (like SaltStack, which is also a remote execution engine) this will give you: - a central point to manage all your server - predictable configuration on all servers with the same role - a configuration documentation place (and even history if you git the confs) - will make managing multiple users a breeze

3. Use VPN and private services on private IP.

Yes, that happens to the best of us: proper command, wrong machine :).

Now, shutdown and rm are the worst to add to the mix.

Another incredibly common cause for odd system behavior is disk being full. I wonder if there's any checklist with common system problems.
