DevOps and Apollo Mission Control
By Todd Vernon
Lately I have been reading the excellent book Digital Apollo. It explores the

evolved during the development of space flight and ultimately the Apollo
missions. It’s a fantastic book – more technical than most – but very
approachable to those not familiar with flight control, embedded software, or
the challenges of building such systems. As I read the book, I could not help
but compare the way space missions were executed to that of the role of
DevOps in moder... (more)
Manufacturing Plus Open Source Equals DevOps

take full advantage of multi-core CPUs – but the master and worker
processes belong to a single application, which means that they should be
monitored together. Let’... (more)

The "New Platform": You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet
The now mainstream platform changes stemming from the first Internet boom
brought many changes but didn't really change the basic relationship between
servers and the applications running on them. In fact, that was sort of the
point.
