I’ve been in MSP for 15 years now and honestly it’s so love hate. The variety and change is awesome but the cowboyism keeps me up at night in sweats.
I’d never be able to learn so much anywhere else, but because it’s msp I’ve got no proof I know it (no training or non expired certs).
Coming from a decade of vmware esxi and then a few years certified Nutanix, I was almost instantly at home clustering proxmox then added ceph across my hosts and went ‘wtf did I sell Nutanix for’. I was already running FreeNAS later truenas by then so I was already converted to hosting on Linux but seriously I was impressed.
Business case: With what you save on licensing for Nutanix or vsan, you can place all nvme ssd and run ceph.
