    I consider someone being hard to replace as a problem that may or may not be their fault. If they’re actively hoarding knowledge and skills, it’s better to bite the bullet.

    Personally, I try to make myself unnecessary in my roles by empowering my people. If they can’t operate without me being arbitrarily absent for a month, I’ve fucked up.

    Nym looks interesting and I hadn’t heard of it before, but based on my reading I wouldn’t say it supports wireguard.

    It implements wireguard but it still looks like you need to use their client instead of a vanilla wireguard one.






  • I can’t argue, but there are benefits.

    If you need something running 24/7 then on-prem may work out cheaper for you. Keep in mind you need a team of server monkeys to keep that running, and your company’s security certifications will come nowhere near that of a major cloud provider.

    Cloud is good for elastic workloads. And you can save money that way if you’re set up for it. A simple lift and shift will always be more expensive. But doing things like moving build tasks to spot instances and auto scaling capacity in peak periods is a huge win. No need to over provision your DC and no need to upgrade your hardware – generally AWS releases new products at roughly the same price as old but with increased performance. You get upgrades “for free”* with no capex.

    Again I’m not saying that your circumstance means that cloud isn’t more expensive. But there are medium term benefits.

    AWS refused to offer hybrid as an option for years. They’ve changed their tune in the past 5 or so. No reason not to take advantage and do what mix makes sense for you.
