Ask HN: Where Are All the Sysadmins?

2•gtech1•56m ago
Been genuinely trying to hire someone competent that can deliver/manage HA solutions on-prem based on open source software, for more than 6 months now but with little success.

Someone that knows Proxmox, nginx, haproxy, zfs, mysql/mariadb clusters, Cisco (vPC ), all the required components to run an app locally and provide HA.

I know all these myself but I need to offload some of the tasks.

Is this too much or too old of a stack ? Has everyone really moved over to the cloud ?

(Note: offered salary 135k, in Canada, remote).

I manage that kind of infra. I am based in Portugal.

Probably most people have moved to the cloud or do other managed services

From what I can tell "sysadmin" has largely been replaced by "cloud ops"

That said it is kind of a lot of pieces of complexity you have there. I don't know if it is unreasonable for a full time sysadmin though. I'm not a sysadmin, but as a webdev I can run about half that stack you listed myself. That might be where some of the disconnect is too, a bunch of this stuff has been taken over by other roles instead of a single sysadmin
