These are my links for November 18th from 11:41 to 16:35:
- 6 Months In: Fully Automated Provisioning Revisited – Blog – dev2ops – Solving Large Scale Web Operations and DevOps Problems – It's been about six months since I co-authored the "Web Ops 2.0: Achieving Fully Automated Provisioning" whitepaper along with the good folks at Reductive Labs (the team behind Puppet). While the paper was built on a case study about a joint user of ControlTier and Puppet (and a joint client of my employer, DTO Solutions, and Reductive Labs), the broader goal was to start a discussion around the concept of fully automated provisioning.
- Agile Manifesto co-author encourages Agile Operations – Agile Operations – Ward Cunningham, one of the godfathers of the Agile Development movement and the co-author of the Agile Manifesto, is moving over into Agile Operations territory these days with an upcoming webinar, Agile IT: A Better Approach to Application Development, Deployment, and Management. In the precis, the presenter's ask "Can IT Operations benefit from agile practices as well?" Obviously we here at Agile Operations think so, but it will be interesting to see what exactly Cunningham's take on the idea is.
- Operations is a competitive advantage… (Secret Sauce for Startups!) – O’Reilly Radar – My lunchtime conversations at the Summit centered around Operations as a competitive advantage (and occasionally a "strategic weapon"). This advantage is the ability to consistently create and deploy reliable software to an unreliable platform that scales horizontally.
