Systems Administrator, or Infrastructure Architect?
Taken from http://www.infrastructures.org/papers/bootstrap/bootstrap.html "Bootstrapping an Infrastructure"
Lots of important lessons in that paper. Many of them still relevant today. This one is important to remember when hiring a "devop". The context switch is pretty hardcore between the two people outlined below. Remember that.
Systems Administrator, or Infrastructure Architect?
There's a career slant to all of this.
Infrastructure architects typically develop themselves via a systems administration career track. That creates a dilemma. A systems administration background is crucial for the development of a good infrastructure architect, but we have found that the skillset, project time horizon, and coding habits needed by an infrastructure architect are often orthogonal to those of a systems administrator -- an architect is not the same animal as a senior sysadmin.
