"In my world, developers barely understand the programming language or framework they're using and are more interested in using buzzword foo rather than solving the problem at hand or dealing with actually running the systems that solve said problems."

Oh, man. A thousand times this. Many devs I work with have been writing code that runs on AWS for years, and don't know what RDS means.

A warning: do NOT do what one engineers I used to work with did, and upload his "dot files" onto GitHub for portability. A lot of secrets can be stored in a few months' worth of bash history.

Wait... binaries inside a ~homedir/.dotfile/? Why on earth?

San Francisco, CA ONSITE | GoPro | DevOps Infrastructure Engineer

We are seeking experienced DevOps engineers to join us in San Francisco. We are using open source tools like Ansible and Docker to build distributed cloud (AWS) environments supporting the next generation of web services for GoPro’s massive global audience. As an infrastructure-focused DevOps engineer you will be obsessive about maintaining robust, high performance web systems at scale. This person will be responsible for designing fault-tolerant mechanisms for keeping distributed systems healthy, and developing proactive monitoring back to DevOps and the development teams. He or she will work closely with development teams, release engineering, and quality engineering.

What You Will Do - Build robust monitoring for production systems with Nagios, collectd, CloudWatch, and Grafana - Design new systems with fault-tolerance and high availability as key criteria - Collaborate with developers to produce deployment-ready code - Implement standards and best practices with the help of our Engineering and Architecture groups - Craft load tests that prepare our services for tens of millions of active users - Build tools to automate, automate, automate

GoPro has excellent perks including time every week to beta test new products outside of the office! Check us out.

Each Availability Zone is being rebooted on a different day. Best practices dictate HA clusters with >=1 instance in each AZ. So, in theory well-designed EC2 systems can withstand this without interruption.

But yeah, this still sucks.
