I wish I could move everything to 7. I had to modify our kickstart but that is not surprising, but haven't really had any other issues.

What sort of problems have you encountered?

I hope you at least had air conditioning.

RHEL 7 has 'needs-restarting' FWIW
benjarrell··on The DevOps Checklist
I see this checklist is exactly what "DevOps" is, as stated in the first question:

  DevOps is all about alignment. It was born out of frustration and trouble between the disparate priorities and incentives of Development and Operations teams. Alignment comes from unifying towards a common goal.
I see your checklist as only coming from experience and institutional knowledge shared by having developers and operations working together.

benjarrell··on PHP Install Statistics
Speaking as sysadmin, I have inherited situations similar to what you describe. It could be laziness, but I have also encountered program/project managers that put so many obstacles that it makes you throw your hands up. Having a manager that will back you up makes difference.

I've come to the conclusion that inertia is the most powerful force in business.

Any Exchange admin can confirm that. It is interesting the array of devices people add to their 'work' email.

Having never used Docker, if it is containerization for applications, how is it different from Application WPARs or App-V?
benjarrell··on After the Sun (Microsystems) Sets, Stories Come Out
I'm speechless...

Bob Coe once told me he did not have to interview the candidates for his Administrative Assistant position. I should simply ask each candidate to link her hands behind her head with her elbows pointing forward and walk toward the wall. If her elbows were the first part of her anatomy to touch the wall, she was eliminated from candidacy. All applicants whose breasts touched first, he would interview.
