if I can even get 10% of the thousands of hits I've gotten over the past months to buy the fking book when I'm done.. I could probably afford to update my server environment.
Would be bitchin to have an R710 with 8-10 cores and 64GB of ram. HNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGG
@da_667 Go for an R720, quieter and cooler (i.e. they won't warm a 10x12 room appreciably the way an R710 does). Ask my office mate how I know.

@da_667

sorry i am ignorant, tell me the title of book pls

@thedevilsvoice The AVATAR project
-or-
Architecting Virtual Labs
@da_667 do you ever use terraform
@thedevilsvoice
not yet. My last experience from hashicorp was packer/vagrant for making a metasploitable 3 VM.
@thedevilsvoice Let me tell you, I spent a whole fucking day trying to get Vagrant and packet to make the VM and midway through it was inexplicably stop working with a complete lack of errors from the stack trace that were valuable..
@thedevilsvoice /or/ It would randomly go to pick up a packer... package? fail, the script would continue and it'd be like watching a train wreck in slow motion.
@da_667 @thedevilsvoice packer certainly had its share of issues in early days, I've been using it with great success building vagrant/vmware RHEL and Windows boxes for $employer. Hit me up with questions if you try again! :)
@da_667
A noble purpose.
I will surely shill it given the occasion.
Are you planning on publishing a printed/print-friendly version too?
'cause it will definitely have a place in the "hands-on fundamentals" shelf.
@sir_tappo Eventually (tm). I think amazon lets you do print copies.
