Title: When SysAdmins Go Rogue: How to Survive a Server Apocalypse

Hey guys, I just had a close call at work. Our resident sysadmin quit on a Friday and left a cryptic note behind. Long story short, our entire infrastructure went down and we're still trying to figure out how to get it back up.

"Just had a similar issue with a server at my previous job, the sysadmin was indeed 'helping' himself to company funds. I recommend setting up a strict audit trail and rotating logs regularly to catch these kinds of incidents early."

"Lol, just had this happen to me last week. My sysadmin quit and took our AWS keys with him, now our servers are down and I'm in panic mode. Got any tips on how to get them back up ASAP?"
