Saturday, June 27th, 2009Puppet 1, Meat Cloud 0
Wednesday, June 24th, 2009Chalk one up for the anti-meat-cloud’rs. Reductive Labs secured early stage investment of $2 million from True Ventures.

Cool Hand Luke Speaks about Puppet and Chef
Saturday, January 17th, 2009Luke Kanies, founder of Reductive Labs (Puppet), has a very classy response to the new Opscode Chef announcement. I agree with most of his summary and in the end it will be the “field” that will determine their fate and not the blogs. However, I though about the DSL differences a little more, and I [...]

Do we need a cloud standard or just one good old IT management standard?
Tuesday, July 1st, 2008It is my belief that what we today call the “cloud” will really just evolve into a complex IT infrastructure of the future, and in the end, will just be referred to as infrastructure. There is no doubt the traditional IT landscape of the last 20 years is going through a substantial transformation on [...]

Infrastructure 2.0 (An oldie but a goodie)
Monday, June 23rd, 2008Since I can not be at Velocity this week due to this silly thing called making money I thought I would dust off a relevant topic. About a year ago Luke coined the term Infrastructure 2.0. At the time I thought it was a great concept, however; I had no idea how relevant it would [...]

Managing servers with Puppet
Wednesday, May 28th, 2008Managing servers with Puppet
So, I’ve been working on this project recently. In this project there’s no use of version control – in fact, we don’t even have staging or development environments. All changes were just made to the live server, in an ad hoc way, by a variety of people. And inevitably we’ve ended up [...]
Why Only Two?
Friday, April 25th, 2008A few people have asked my why only two for my “Mighty Two”. I have been specifically asked why not OpenNMS and Nagios The simple answer is that Hyperic and Zenoss are software companies and OpenNMS and Nagios are projects. Both Hyperic and Zenoss both have software company infrastructures. This means they have full time [...]

Yikes …The New Math
Sunday, December 30th, 2007She’s Got Their Number
Entire companies–think Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) –are being built almost entirely around math. And others, like IBM, are integrating math into operations and decision making in ways never before seen.
