I did the hawaiian islands because my wife is from Hawaii. I regret it, it was cute and clever, now it is harder to troubleshoot and I max out at 9 (if you count vegas), and I forget which “island” is attached to which, that now I just use IPs which then defeats the purpose. I’m starting to switch back to functional naming, I’m about to destroy and rebuild everything so it’ll be a good chance to start over and get it “right”.
I stopped using rhel/centos after 7 personally, the rolling update seems weird. I’m fine with the AWX model of being the beta testers for the paid product. It is a little different for an OS though as AWX has many features that sometimes are randomly broken on each “release”, but at least there are defined releases. I’m sort of giving up on Redhat, it’s wildly expensive, they have good products but not worth the costs they sell at and I’m tired of trying to constantly navigate this song and dance.
I saw this on lemmy.world, went to reply to a comment, realized I wasn’t on my instance, flipped back and I can’t find it, so sadly I fear you might be correct that there is something wrong.
I’d recommend the newer wildlands, it’s pretty fun, you might not get it done in a weekend but something fun to pick up and play, not too complicated.
Yeah, I was also planning netbox, but it’s not always helpful when everything explodes, since it is on the same infra.
