What Devops Means to Me
By John | July 16, 2010
I have been in IT operations for over 30 years and I have seen a lot of good and bad ideas come and go. I have been following the Devops movement for over a year now and I have kept my eyes very focused to the Devops radar. To me Devops is one of the most interesting ideas that I have seen in the last 30 years. Like any new idea, Devops is creating some controversy and there are many discussions about what is wrong with Devops. In fact, many of the recent questions about Devops sound very similar to some of the questions that were being asked about Clouds two years ago. A lot of those old Cloud questions have now been answered; however, many still remain open. I believe this is exactly the path that the recent “Devops” questions are following. I have spoken and interviewed a lot of the thought leaders in the Devops movement. Here are some of my thoughts based on what I have learned thus far.

- Time to Converge Monitoring and Management in Linux and Unix – www.enterprisenetworkingplanet.com – I admit it: I'm slightly jealous of Microsoft server administrators. You see, in the Linux world, we have the power to create crazily robust and creative systems, but we're often reinventing the wheel.

- Puppet vs Chef | BHUGA WOOGA! – I spent a fair bit of time this week messing with Chef, which I had somehow missed in my previous rounds of scooping up system administration tools. It was kind of a late-in-the-game evaluation–I was already in the process of deploying Puppet when it was brought to my attention. But it was only almost too late, not too late, so I threw up some VMs and did some testing.

- botchagalupe’s Bookmarks on Delicious – The following is a case study of one entrepreneur's transition from a traditional development cycle to continuous deployment. Many people still find this idea challenging, even for companies that operate solely on the web. This case presents a further complication: desktop software. Without being able transparently modify the software in situ, is it still possible to deploy on a continuous basis? Read on to find out.
- Amazon EC2 Spot Instances – Spot Instances are a new way to purchase and consume Amazon EC2 Instances. They allow customers to bid on unused Amazon EC2 capacity and run those instances for as long as their bid exceeds the current Spot Price. The Spot Price changes periodically based on supply and demand, and customers whose bids meet or exceed it gain access to the available Spot Instances. Spot Instances are complementary to On-Demand Instances and Reserved Instances, providing another option for obtaining compute capacity.
