Where can I read more about that?

And how much is your non-bubbled far less? I'm not even closely to the Bay Area btw.

Yes, you are right, sorry. I was too fast in my assumptions, rsyslog (don't know much of syslog-ng) has feature parity with ELK in terms of log delivery and processing. But I think that grep and its permutations aren't right tools of choice for log analysis anyway.

Yes, I know plenty of Devopsish people that make more than that. And I'm not even talking about SRE-minded folk there.

Noisy neighbors tracking can be automated and partially solved then. With cloud you gain access to the provisioning API and with Terraform/Ansible stack (as for example) you are able to build up and manage infra quickly, efficiently and declaratively. Bare metal provisioning can also be automated (as via private cloud solution, for example) but you need dedicated team for that (and nice OpenStackers aren't cheap). I was solo managing 500+ hosts once on public cloud, there is no chance you can do this without what you call "hipster tech" and modern devops toolchain.

Have you used the file input? With such throughput you don't need it at all, it hangs both of its host because of iowait and remote endpoint too if beats proto is used. All of my log traffic is sent as GELF UDP or syslog UDP.

I'm piping 5TB/day through 2 Graylog hosts with plain stupid DNS round-robin, all good.

The irony is that there is no service. It's a duck-and-tape solution reminding me my first years in Linux ops industry.

Your suggested solutions aren't reliable at all. AWS/GCP/Azure backbones work absolutely differently.

Where do you get such low prices for dedicated rigs? Well anyway, looks like you haven't tried to roll your own ES cluster on bare metal hosts - I've got more throughput than yours with 2 Graylog hosts backed by 5x bare metal ES instances. With all benefits of web interface for less tech savvy people, structured logs, analytics and data exposure through unified API. All of these for less than 2k/mo. If I lived in wonderland with server prices like yours, our check would be less than 1k/mo.

Do you understand something about such thing as ES indices?

And yet you're rsyslogging and grepping what is supposed to be structured and typed. Have you heard about backpressure, controlled retention, compliant log redundancy and all of this advanced stuff that you'll never get with aggregation via rsyslogd/syslog-ng?

I think this guy have no idea what he's talking about.

No.

Don't looks like you have much of experience with what's you're talking about - there is no such thing as heartbeatd, it's called keepalived (or pacemaker if you prefer unnecessary complex solutions), any ops person can't even misspell that.

Can you share some source of your statement?

This. I was waiting for new CoreOS just because of being the blocker for OKD release.

I'm Eastern European and I think that Netflix's adaptation is great. Sure, there wasn't such diversity in the series and the books setting as because of the middle ages of Rzeczpospolita, but anyway, the series are good.

Well tell me about great high fantasy series then. Netflix's The Witcher is one of the best genre players out there. Of course, it has its own flaws, but overall it's that push forward thing that we're all needed.

NGINX is valued more than Rambler, what kind of company's size are you talking about?

This is the same company that threatens Igor Sysoev and Moscow NGINX office.

They are fantastic at loosing their best talent to the western counterparts. Nothing fantastic at all for a big company within other reaches.

Oh well-well, elaborate please about their scale. Bigger than Twitter, bigger then Netflix. Just give us some proof about that.

Please elaborate more. I'm writing this from my Dell XPS 9575 with Vega M GL under Fedora 30 and I haven't encountered a single problem in GPU-accelerated applications and games with official open source drivers.

Well then sway maintainer's reason to explicitly deny support for proprietate nvidia driver is a reasonable argument too.

Ansible's ad-hoc is the thing that you can learn really fast. No need to dive into the all this idempotent paradigm or try to fully grasp the architecture of your configuration management solution to do the basics (looking at you, Chef). Just need to update sudo on 30 boxes? CLI and inventory file - that's all you need.

On the other side, do stuff like this all the time and you'll start to think that Ansible is just some kind of distributed shell executor on the steroids. Absolutely not. While other CM solutions tend to strictly put you inside their way of doing things from the very beginning, Ansible gives you the freedom about how you use it. That's why Ansible is a way to go tool not only for serious infrastructure engineering, but also a good helper for any IT-related tasks.

There is plethora of similar tools (cssh, pssh, dsh) but Ansible ad-hoc mode superseeds these ones at any real task involving "simultaneous" management of Linux boxes.

Sounds exactly what is Tahoe-LAFS for.
