   Would love to get some advice from anyone who moved from a individual contributor #sysadmin #sre role to an #infosec or compliance role.
   
   I’ve got an opportunity to leave this burn out job where I run our OPS team, to run another companies infosec/compliance group. I already fill that role as a contractor (wrapping up their first soc2 type II as we speak).
   
   Curious to see if others regret that change. Thing is I love hacking Unix, but can’t stand the mess that k8s created at %90 of the places I’ve looked at. Should I just make the jump and spend most of my time in excel, word and meetings?

     I avoided Docker until 2 years ago, so far I've avoided k8s
     
     There is hope but it is hard to find these types of environments

     @feld seriously. i was watching how confused the operators were in trying to demonstrate some very basic controls were in place and got dizzy.
     
     the sad part is i've gotten zero responses from job openings i'm super qualified for because i don't k8s. its really a bad state of affairs.
