So, I worked for six months as a subcontractor on the Raytheon GPS OCX project, but only the unclassified stuff. We helped them take their datacenter deployments from a matter of months to a matter of hours -- using Chef. Once it's all powered and racked and stacked, we got the base OS plus the core apps and their configurations deployed very quickly. Towards the very end of the time I was there, we did a demo on a virtual datacenter that literally took just about three hours to execute from start to finish. Definitely one of the projects that I am proudest of working on. One of the things I heard many times while I was in Colorado was that the Lockheed guys got the easy job -- all they had to do was design and launch new birds. The Raytheon guys said that they had gotten the hard job, because they had to handle all ground control operations for the current fleet of satellites, plus all the ground control operations for the new fleet of satellites. And the Raytheon guys were pretty proud of that fact.
