System Administrator Appreciation Day is a special day of recognition that occurs on the last Friday of July each year. SysAdmin Day is intended to bring recognition to all the hard work that System Administrators perform to keep our systems running. In this video, I discuss SysAdmin Day (as well as many other topics surrounding the line of work) with Joao Correia from CloudLinux, and Brian from Admin Magazine. This was an awesome discussion, so don’t miss out!
I had a chance to sit down with Joao Correia from CloudLinux and Brian Osborn from Admin Magazine to talk about System Administrators Appreciation Day, System Administration in general, and why we need to help our Admins feel more appreciated it.
