brycec: So netboot+external storage? I mean, you can technically do that with your baremetal, though you wouldn't get clear access to the Ceph-backed storage (you'd have a VPS for serving netboot files on your VLAN and storage access... somehow, perhaps NFS or something)
I personally moved to a Thunder instance because I like the storage abstraction - it's no longer "a hard disk" (or pair) like I have in my Metal, but something more reliable.
up_the_irons: hazardous: proxmox runs great on the Thunder instances
brycec: I like the storage abstraction too; and like when a disk fails, it's not us sitting on pins and needles until it is replaced and a RAID is rebuilt. We can replace the disk in a timely manner and breath easy throughout.

enick_754 is now known as qbit[m]
up_the_irons: anyone have experience with Icinga? Good? Bad? What's better? Specifically, I'd like to find something that hooks into Grafana, to graph historical performance, and Icinga has a dashboard for Grafana to do that (but I'm not sure if something even better is out there)
RandalSchwartz: It's definitely better than nagios
and it has a turing-complete config language
(there's a hangman game included!)
ziprecruiter uses it... and I was thinking about moving Neil to it as well, until Rob convinced him that AWS already has everything they need.
there are quite a few monitors out there now though.
