Not really. All of my team mate in sysadmin team have degree in computer science or informatics

I use webfaction to host multiple wordpress sites and so far the performance and support is good. it support python / Django hosting

For email I think it's better to use email service like google apps, office 365, zoho mail or fastmail.

For account registration emails, it's better to use transactional email service like sendgrid, mandrill, mailgun, mailjet, or postmark.

Have you looked at AWS trusted advisor? You can get advise from cost, performance, etc.

"If you are a free user and have over 5 GB of content in your OneDrive, you will receive an email with an offer to claim a free 1-year subscription to Office 365 Personal*, which includes 1 TB of storage."

Why rust? Why not using Go instead of C++

+1 for Backblaze.

Using online backup services is way better, it's accesible from anywhere as far as you have internet. Your data is also being saved redundantly on the data center.

Using Cloudflare / Sucuri in front of your website won't hurt

Use any provider that you most comfortable with or the one that have data center nearest to you. since at the end they are on open container project

* https://www.opencontainers.org/ * https://runc.io/

Try https://pentesterlab.com/

And don't forget that SSH also considered Illegal by the provider :)

What about appliance created using open source OS like : - https://www.pfsense.org/products/ - https://www.clearos.com/products/hardware/clearbox-overview - http://www.endian.com/products-overview/ - https://www.untangle.com/untangle-ng-firewall/appliances/

Yes. Tutplus.com pay authors : http://tutsplus.com/teach

You might also want to consider submitting your content to digitalocean or linode, they have great tutorial site.

For self publishing you might want to try Leanpub (https://leanpub.com/)

I also see some great content hosted on gumroad (https://gumroad.com/)

What about documentation? Having a good and up to date documentation on - how to setup the development environment - what is the coding standard that the team follow - How to build the project - (maybe) how to install components like db, key value store etc.

Of course having a script to setup the environment will help so the new person can start doing something, they might get error but at least they start getting error that they can work on their first few days.

you can use jenkins or some hosted CI to run unit tests. For continuous inspection you can use sonarqube

Wrong DNS :)

I use Ruckus (3 AP) in the office and the performance is good for 50+ people. Remember that every person at least bring two devices (laptop + mobile phone) to the office, some of them bring 2 mobile phones plus tablet. make sure you count that too when sizing the WiFi.

Meraki is easy to setup and manage, it does not use any controller on premise since the AP connect to Meraki Cloud. You can manage all your Meraki AP from single dashboard even if you have separate physical location. This including user management so you don't have to only rely on WPA2 for WiFi security

Regarding the AP itself, if budget allowed make sure the device support 802.11 AC, most new devices support this (CMIIW) this run on 5Ghz band which on most places less crowded than 2.4Ghz. Usually this kind of device support dual band with 2,4Ghz to also support

At the very least make sure the AP you will buy support dual band 5Ghz (802.11 N) and also 2.4Ghz (b/g/n).

Most dual band support feature like band steering (this might be ruckus term, but others should have similar feature). Basically the AP will offer the 5Ghz to any device want to connect to them first, if the device can't connect then they will offer 2.4Ghz band. Having people connected to 5Ghz band is improving the network performance that people get because less inteference in this band.

You can use camtasia for Windows to record inside the VM or camtasia for Mac to record from the host OS

Just because the CEO is gay then SO support this. So ridiculous.

Not an application project but I list engineering blog of startup companies. You can add blog(s) that is not already listed there

Zohomail gives free 10 email address with your own domain

Suricata : http://suricata-ids.org/

startssl (https://www.startssl.com/) also offer free SSL certificate.

I usually start with EssentialSSL or PositiveSSL from comodo. If you need to secure multiple subdomain choose wildcard certificate. Domain validated have the same security with Extended validation certificate.

digitalocean offer FreeBSD as OS

Even if you are not using cloud you systems / network administrator can see any data including sensitive business document above their paygrade, but still a good sysadmin / netadmin won't do that because we have code of ethics : https://lopsa.org/CodeOfEthics

some people still think that virtualization is cloud even though it's only a building block of cloud.

Do you plan to fully encrypt data as doing full harddisk encryption?
