I currently hold the position of IT Manager for inno-tech Verpackungsmaschinen GmbH in Holzheim, Germany. Originally from Columbus, Ohio I moved to Germany in 1999.
Hobbies are guitars, music and my family.

I must be lucky...I'm not micro managed and routinely asked for advice on how we can improve processes etc.
This is my situation. Our management doesn't want to be bothered with the decision making, so they rely on me to. Not S.O.P., but I love it.

Man I would love to come to this... Have fun guys!
@Romo said in CentOS automatically created virbr0 and virbr0-nic and killed my cloud services (?):
You have libvirt installed that's why the virbr0 nics where created and you could delete them with virsh.
It is not part of the default Centos 7 minimally install.
Thanks Romo. It is probably included in the gnome package. I had installed the gnome desktop to get a look at centos. After some further testing I am beginning to think that the problem didn't have anything to do with the vnic's, though.
Guten Morgen guys and gals, been running the CentOS for a good while now and it seemed pretty stable, so I move our production cloud to it.
This morning the cloud was down, it was coming up with a certificate error. On my vSphere client I could only see the 192.168.122.0 IP address on the VM, the IP for the cloud was not being shown. I was still able to connect to it with webmin, so I checked out the NIC's first. 2 new virtual NICs had been created, virbr0 and virbr0-nic with a subnet of 192.168.122.0. I was unable to deactivate the nic's, so I virsh net-destroy'ed them. Everything is back on track, but I have some questions. Were they the probable cause for no connectivity? What created them? I have not installed any virtual server services. Are the services included in the default CentOS install?

Armed drones are now legal for law enforcement in North Dakota. That can't go bad.
That's disgusting. We all know where that's headed.
So a power beacon sent from a (possibly) Kardaschow Type II civilization 95 light years away. Do we really want to meet the cats? I'm gonna go play some guitar.
@scottalanmiller Alright then! Gnight, sleep fast!

The drive from my house to my dad's house is almost exactly the same as driving from London to Moscow.
Flight!?!
@scottalanmiller That's what I meant. Not getting up early, but staying up so late! Jeez, I don't miss those drive times over there, man. 14 hours here and I'm on the Coté de Azur...
