Summary
A Sys Admin’s work is never done. Keeping your infrastructure humming along like a well tuned starship requires equal parts Geordi LaForge, Kaylee Frye, and Chewbacca. From well meaning but misinformed users requesting root access to hardening gateways against DDOS attacks, it’s a job that if done right, looks like you’re doing nothing at all. Far from it, a sharp sys admin, keeps abreast of the stream of constant changes to the technology stack. Everything from disk arrays, to network switches, OS kernel updates and beyond. It’s a tough job, but building and maintaining a fast and reliable infrastructure can make or break a company. That’s where you come in.
