Home Cloud Migration

Home Cloud Migration
When HR asks about your involvement in the "cloud center migration" and you're just trying to explain that you literally strapped your homelab server to a bike trailer and pedaled it across town. Nothing says "DevOps engineer" quite like physically transporting your own infrastructure using human-powered vehicles. The beauty here is the double meaning: corporate thinks you're talking about AWS migrations and Kubernetes orchestration, but you're actually discussing the logistics of not dropping your Raspberry Pi cluster while navigating potholes. Zero downtime? More like "zero car ownership." High availability? Sure, as long as you don't hit a speed bump. This is what happens when you take "on-premises" too literally and decide your new premises require a bike rack deployment strategy.

Now they're selling us the same hardware back as "Azure Local" with a premium price tag. Next revolutionary product: a keyboard you can actually feel when typing.
