The job of a old style Linux admin has been superseded by infrastructure engineering and GitOps. You write automation to deploy and maintain thousands of VMs.
Some of us were doing infrastructure as code back when they still called us “Linux admins” and we were doing “gitops” with Subversion and Puppet. My title has changed a lot since the old days but some of the “new hotness” was around in the old days with different names. Fuck, look at LPARs.
actually, yes. you test solutions „manually“ on servers and then roll them out with ansible across the whole infrastructure, neatly kept and carefully maintained in your local git instance. like raking a zen garden sometimes

You’ll be lucky if there are actual VMs.
Is that… Fun?
