SEEKING WORK - Edinburgh, Scotland, remote.
I'm a Linux sysadmin, although my friend recently said I should describe myself as an 'infrastructure engineer' if I want to get jobs more easily. I do contract work a couple of days a week - security audits, infrastructure automation (with chef, or whatever you like), working on scaling web applications, deploying rails apps, all those fun things.
I have some ideas about high availability that involve thinking in terms of MTTR instead of uptime that I'm itching to try out. I reckon it should be possible to have the MTTR for 'Amazon turns off all of EC2' to be under an hour. Want to try and make your infrastructure that resilient? My email's REDACTED_EMAIL.
