Sysadmin Vomit Clone Idea[edit]

This project is not a simple clone, but rather:

  • An assemblage of pieces made from the frustrated "vomit" of the world's greatest sysadmins.
  • Inspired by real-world struggles and improvisations in managing complex DevOps environments.
  • Built as a pragmatic DevOps exploration and experimentation platform.

Concept[edit]

The idea is to create a DevOps tool or platform that embraces the chaos, challenges, and "hacks" sysadmins endure daily. Instead of starting from scratch or making a perfect clone, it aggregates the best (and sometimes quirky) solutions developed as workarounds or innovations.

Features & Approach[edit]

  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC) friendly
  • Supports blue-green deployments to reduce downtime and mistakes
  • Minimalist, practical setup with some premium touches (e.g., standing desks for productivity)
  • Emphasis on remote collaboration and deployment
  • Inspired by minimal setups: one monitor, one laptop, possibly an iPad for mobile testing
  • Allows for experimentation on Kubernetes clusters, with awareness of cluster management limitations
  • Accepts that failure & reset are part of the process; designs for quick recovery instead of perfection

Philosophy[edit]

"Embrace the frustration and turn it into innovation."

  • Note: The term "sysadmin vomit" humorously refers to the patchwork, improvisational nature of many real-world systems and tools crafted under pressure.*
