Shawn Sterling

Shawn Sterling has been a system administrator for 20+ years everywhere from small startups to very large enterprises.

This talk is an updated version of the I wanna be the guy (or gal) talk that I presented at Linuxfest Northwest 2013.

The original talk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSAgQqa49nM) was a bunch of random advice for all levels of system administrators, and this is going to be more of the same, but updated for 2018.

We will be going over what's changed in the last 5 years with some focus on cloud, containers, and security.
