Arthur T Knackerbracket has found the following story:

Microsoft reckons its forthcoming Azure Stack on-premises cloud needs a special breed of sysadmin to keep it humming.

The company describes that worthy as a " Azure Stack Operator" and says they will be "Responsible for operating Azure Stack infrastructure end-to-end – planning, deployment and integration, packaging and offering cloud resources and requested services on the infrastructure."

[...] True to form, Microsoft will try to monetize these roles: it's flagged a new five-day course titled "Configuring and Operating a Hybrid Cloud with Microsoft Azure Stack" that will debut on September 18th. When, presumably, we'll also learn what it costs to become an Azure Stack Operator and how quickly the certification will expire. ®

    The trouble is, they're also free to include advertisements even if we do donate.

    The advantage of Firefox for me was always the plug-ins, which let me do things like block ads and stop flash. This made the free Firefox better than the free IE which came with my machine.

    Now the free IE has a working adblock (same folks that make the Firefox adblock). Firefox keeps changing the UI in annoying ways, and already has annoyed me enough to make me switch to a Mozilla fork rather than use straight Firefox.

    So... why should I pay to keep Firefox from getting more annoying, when it's already about par with IE (which I've already kind of paid for)? Especially when the Firefox developers proved willing to ignore the vast number of users who have decried their UI changes? Why should they suddenly start listening now?

    At least with IE, I expect the pain. Firefox started as a solution to IE... now it's just moving the pain to a slightly different place.

    Is this a DB error? Bug? AC posted in wrong article (last Firefox one was days ago)? The text makes sense... but not in this Azure article.

      Maybe its those damn Azure Stack sysadmins dicking around with the hot swap virtual drives again.

      I keep telling management that the best sysop is a man and a German Shepard Attack dog.
      The man is there to feed the dog, and the dog is there to make sure the man doesn't touch the machine.
