  • To actually answer your question, you need some kind of job scheduling service that manages the whole operation. Whether that’s SSM or Ansible or something else. With Ansible, you can set a parallel parameter that will say that you only update 3 or so at a time until they are all done. If one of those upgrades fails, then it will abort the process. There’s a parameter to make it die if any host fails, but I don’t recall it right now.



  • There used to be a saying that Intel had a vault where they paid out the next ten years of CPU tech, so when they invented something new they put it there so they could make profits and control the advancement.

    Now, I’m not sure which thing they got wrong, but if it was true, I think Intel was probably caught off guard by all the speculative execution security issues and the GPU revolution (blockchain and AI).






  • In all those scenarios though, the cert in question would be listed as something else. It’s not that I’m against Coursera or think it’s a bad platform.

    There are a lot of certs out there and most of them are worthless, and a lot of them happen to be on Coursera, I guess. I’ve talked to people who had AWS certs and couldn’t explain the difference between S3 and EBS. Certs just don’t mean much.


  • Once you get your first job, the certs of all kinds just become resume fluff, but since you are pursuing your first job, they might be useful.

    As an interviewer, I think that certs are only useful if you take the test with a different company than you studied with. So I don’t think I’d care if you have a coursera cert, because I’d assume it just meant you finished the course that you paid for.

    What certs are you thinking about doing, and more importantly, what are you looking to get out of them? I know “a job”, but what kind of job are you looking for?
