Rob is becoming a SPOF, we need to train more people on how to do everything.

just saying 'it's in git' isn't enough.

Owen is also a spof on all things switch releated, he started training Scott this year, but we need to expand the knowledge

This can start with documentation/videos, but at some point we need to do a live (could be through zoom) session to have people actually try to do the things.

@kylerisse and @ruebenramirez got onboarded this year for the server infrastructure.

@MrHamel has been a big help on the AP front and Im hoping we can work together more there through 2024

Owen isn't the only Juniper netadmin. My paid job is network engineering (and automation). Do I fully understand the convention center patching? No, however, I got better at handling the catwalk.

Anyway, below are a few ideas off the top of my head:

Add jumpboxes to the VM list to access various things. That way, we do not have to be on specific VLANs or need RPis setup in the NOC. Everything is an SSH session away (including various port forwards).

Could we also virtualize massflash to remove the laptop as a dependency? It requires a VLAN allocation, and the massflash switch would uplink to the NOC switch or whatever, instead of the laptop.

There are no vlan requirements in the NOC switch for infra vlan, its untagged. Everything is an SSH session away.

The massflash is a livecd, its can run on any x86 machine. The reason its this way is so we dont have to have the hypervisors for a work party. Ive considered the idea of included similar massflash configuration in the core machine but there needs to be more considerations before its implemented.
