XS for the win!
My next test will be to purposely hose my test machine. If I can bring a crashed XS back without much difficulty, it will definitely have my undying love.

I am teaching @DustinB3403 well... side bar convo...
Me: You should see MY lab.
Dustin: you havent seen your lab, if you have you arent a Sys Admin!
Me: It's true, I've not seen it either.
The side-bar conversation was far more funny to a drunk me.... lol

I'm heading out to drive across teh state. Yay.

Realized today I"m thankful I'm shadow IT haha

Just did a daily question - and I'm intrigued to see what everyone else thinks/would choose:
"You are starting a company and, instead of going the traditional route and hosting your web server in-house, you have decided to build and test your web application in a cloud environment. What kind of cloud service would best meet your needs?
-SaaS
-DaaS
-PaaS
-IaaS"
-
@NattNatt this is a joke right?
-
@DustinB3403 I'm not sure if it's because It's 2am and I'm half cut, or I'm just being dumb...but what would you pick..?
-
IaaS
-
@DustinB3403 That's what I picked...Nope. OP chose PaaS as the correct answer. Not just me then - 32% correct so far...

The wording is pretty bad, but I can see where they got that. I don't think they are saying they want to maintain the web server, they just want to build the application. So the development of the app would be PaaS.
That's a badly worded question.

@stacksofplates Yeah, it was one of those, I answered it, saw what they'd picked, and then could KIND of see where they were coming from with it...but wasn't sure if it was just me because of the previously mentioned factors or not

-IaaS"No answer is right since traditional and "host in house" don't go together. ;). PaaS isn't breaking any molds here, it's dead common.

Definitely not IaaS. PaaS is likely what they wanted. Hopefully.

Yes. My opinion as a paid cert writer is that the wording makes it subjective and ambiguous. But the obvious intent is good and PaaS would be the right answer. They just need to reword it was accuracy and clarity.

So here is the logic.
DaaS... Not related so not applicable. This is the throw away answer.
SaaS... This one is a trick of the wording. OP wanted YOUR app not THEIR app. From context you can rule out SaaS. SaaS means in the end everything is a service to you including any apps run.
IaaS... This is what you use when you don't want to manage hardware but still want to run everything yourself. This isn't the right answer because you can't just focus on running your app but have to focus on administration too. So that rules this out.
PaaS... Only answer that satisfies letting you do nothing but focus on your app while still letting you bring your own app. So PaaS is the answer.
PaaS examples: A Small Orange, Heroku, Open Shift, Elastix Beanstalk

Waiting for my Sausage and Bacon sandwich to arrive, also doing some RADIUS work today as I've just banned 12+ Android phones off the network to free up some IP's for actual work laptops

Arrive? Waiting on the pig to be born and the chicken to hatch?

Was there an update? The top menu bar now disappears when scrolling down the page. I really don't like it.
