Well, a webserver can easily be stateless

My mind gets tangled in details many times instead of staying generalized.

In many of the posts I've read, individuals speak of creating stateless machines. One of many examples being, whip up a new/identical system in minimal amount of time. I get confused when I think, "How can a machine be stateless? Where is the data and configuration? Those can't be stateless?"

That is where I get confused. Separating the two.

Well, if you consider that the configuration is static (at least for a while) and the data could reside on another machine then it could be stateless. For instance a webserver connected to a database on another machine.

A simple webserver serving static pages would be stateless, as in doesn't keep track of the state of the client or the request.

The http protocol itself is stateless. The client just requests information and the server delivers.

But I assume you had something specific in mind when asking this question?

For admin stuff, most devs uses mysql workbench its 28 MB and has alot of functionality.

If it doesn't have to be web based you could use MySQL Workbench - which I think is more capable than the web GUIs.

Overkill and slow.

It's not overkill if you're a DBA or developer.
And if you're smart you install it on the machine you do admin from and not on each server.
And you did ask for the best...

Actually, no I did not. Read the OP again. Don’t forget the title of the thread.

A fat client is almost always overkill and slow. But MySQL Workbench is a total piece of crap.

The web tools you are talking about also requires a web server and a php installation so they're not exactly "thin" but you want something simple on a LAMP server or similar. I get that.

MySQL Workbench has it's place too. It's to MySQL what SQL Developer and Enterprise Manager is to Oracle DB. I find it useful and use it almost daily.

@scottalanmiller said in DNS names for intranet sites?:

Doing short names, like just https://portal/ is a problem because it implies you are only functional on the LAN and not from other locations. Few companies want to design their naming system in that way today.

Got it! But how do they want to design it?

I'm thinking especially if you have a mixed OS environment and using a number of hosts that resides locally or in the cloud or at different company locations over a VPN network.

I have a hard time wrapping my head around how to set things up with hostnames, FQDNs, DNS on the *nix side and WINS, DNS, AD on the other side.

What is the recommended practice when naming intranet sites?

In the past you could name something "portal" and if you entered that in the web browser it would find "portal" in your local DNS and go straight to the site. Today web browsers go straight to the search engine unless you have a .com or other top level domain at the end. You have to prefix the url with http:// for it to work the way you want.

I've seen people use .local but I've heard that is not recommended because local is not a top level domain.

I've also seen people use the subdomain of a company domain, for instance firewall1.company.net. It just not a short name for this.

What is best practice on this?

@jaredbusch said in I think I am missing something about Hyper-V....?:

How is it a huge gotcha when most business have an AD infrastructure anyway?

How about when you want to virtualize the AD?

If it doesn't have to be web based you could use MySQL Workbench - which I think is more capable than the web GUIs.

Xen still crippled until xcp-ng will be declared stable by the community.

How could xcp-ng not be stable when it's the same source code as xenserver 7.4?
That makes no sense.

It seems like Quickbook is using Sybase so I don't see a problem there. Samba share will work the same as a share on a Windows server so no problem there either.

And it looks like Intuit started supporting linux already in 2007, so there shouldn't be much problem there either.
