The Cloud - Oh Goody!
-
We're in the process of moving everything over to the cloud. In order to get to visual studio to do dev work, we have to VPN into the network, RDP to a "jump box", and then RDP from there into our dev environment. While we're VPN'd into the remote network, we can't access email or a web browser on our local machine. This means we're completely cut off from communications on our own local network.

VM. That is on your desktop run a VM to VPN to the network to the RDP... want to check email locally: minimise / window size the VM. not saying this to buck the system, but sometimes you want to read your email, for instance refer a list of to-do's / bugs someone sent... Edit: question - if the cloud is everywhere you will be working at home then? No need to wear pants!
after many otherwise intelligent sounding suggestions that achieved nothing the nice folks at Technet said the only solution was to low level format my hard disk then reinstall my signature. Sadly, this still didn't fix the issue!
Not permitted to run a VM on local machines.

That sounds exactly like what we're discussing here for even local work, I'm glad to hear it works so well and I've been wrong this entire time! When I mentioned in meetings that the concept sounds really complicated, will be a drain on productivity due to having to log in/out of the VPN to look up references, and frustrate the developers to the point of hurting morale all I get is blank stares. It must take a government mindset to come up with solutions using such out of the box, counter-intuitive thinking.
We don't have access to it yet, so we don't really know if it will work, or how well. If history is any indicator, it's gonna be dog-ass slow if we can even maintain something resembling reliable connectivity.

Someone who doesn't have to use it will force it into place, employees will use it and complain about how bad it is with a laundry list of reasons, and finally employees will be ignored and told that is the only option available. The other amusing piece being discussed here is that security wants to prohibit VPNing from non-managed (i.e. personal) devices. Problem is we won't purchase laptops for everyone and we're still expected to somehow provide service any time it is needed including after hours and weekends.

I have Sql installed on my laptop and Visual Studio and I do all development on my machine until I need to publish it and then I publish to Azure. It's weird they won't let you have a local dev box.

It's a DoD operation. "Weird" is too tame a word...

We used to be able to hit our Github Enterprise repositories inside the environment and use personal wiki pages to get information in and out of the system but they have since cut that off.

No, because we can't run VMs.

M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Well, DoD dev work has always been a pain in the ass, and especially so when you dev for the USAF. The cloud crap is simply shoveling more crap in the hole.

I often have to remind myself not to bring logic or common sense with me when I come to work.
