Network Infrastructure

Today I had one of those frustrating conversations with one of the network engineers of the infrastructure team. They had managed to destroy one of the octopus boxes and the replacement couldn't see some internal nuget servers.

First, to open the firewall I had to submit an spreadsheet from a template I couldn't access. Then it got rejected because I entered only the DNS entries and not the IPs, so I went to ask him why that was needed, hoping that the reason was that he would use the spreadsheet in some application to automate the rule creation. But the actual reason was "it will take too long to ping those boxes" (there were only three of them).

Hopefully he understands that this kind of behaviour makes every single developer want to move to the cloud and make him obsolete...
