+What do we call post-modern system administrators?
+======
+Our community discusses the responsibilities, possible titles, and
+potential skills of today's sysadmins.
+![Multi-colored and directional network computer cables][1]
+
+For today's sysadmin, many companies expect you to have cross-platform knowledge, network knowledge, _and_ application knowledge. Add to that a dash of programming ability, a pinch of sysadmin experience, a heaping portion of social skills, and a fanatical commitment to reliability and automation.
+
+What do we call this new, post-modern sysadmin? Do we use the same term and simply stretch the responsibilities? Or do we give this evolved role a new name?
+
+We chatted with friends at [Enable Sysadmin][2] and in the Opensource.com Correspondent program to get their thoughts. Here's what we heard:
+
+### Possible titles
+
+  * How about Enterprise Architect or Solutions Architect? 
+  * Or are we talking more of a DevOps Engineer or Site Reliability Engineer?
+  * What level of experience and expertise are we looking at? Maybe an Applications Specialist or IT Helpdesk Administrator?
+  * Overheard: Platform Engineer or System Engineer
+
+
+
+### Potential skills
+
+  * setting up a new user account in Google Workplace or similar
+  * configuring and ordering laptop, cell phone, service contracts
+  * software training (teaching a new user how to use kanban boards, shared storage solutions, or similar)
+  * preparing “procedures” manuals
+  * monitoring and checking security settings and storage usage
+  * keeping an eye on pooled storage
+  * deactivating a user leaving us
+  * arranging for pickup of equipment
+  * working with a user and provider having personal equipment difficulties
+  * keeping an eye on internet connection services, telephone services
+
+
+
+### Lingering questions
+
+Does today's sysadmin need to understand clustering, containers, FS sharding, unicast/multicast coms, and other similar topics?
+
+Is there a dividing line between infrastructure and systems?
+
+Could the title of systems administrator remain the same while the role changes?
+
+Does the image of a sysadmin crawling under the desk to fix broken cupholders still apply?
+
+Are most of today's sysadmins already using a PaaS approach in tandem with doing the basic administrative tasks of managing users, accounts, applications, and licenses?
+
+Are they also a helpful resource for colleagues, acting as an interpersonal bridge between other departments and IT?
