I think I'm detecting a trend.
Take an open source project (LVS perhaps, in this case?), scale it onto a bunch of servers running Xen (your own, Amazon's, doesn't really matter), wrap an API around it, and you've got the next cloud service.
- aaronblohowiak 16y agoAs DevOps becomes more popular, IT becomes more sophisticated or developers care more about the system beyond their application code, I think we will see greater appreciation of the interplay between networking, systems, operations design and application design. Particularly, I hope to see some innovation in layer 6 and 7 load balancing and routing (and growing cultural awareness of the opportunities such things could provide.)
- jeremyjarvis 16y ago@tastybites: a /little/ bit more to it than that ;) we do run the loadbalancing layer across multiple locations which is non-trivial. [Disclosure: I'm co-founder at Brightbox]
- tastybites 16y agoAs always, the devil's in the details. I wasn't being snarky - it's actually a great way of doing it since you're leveraging so much existing work. I'm also working on project that could be described in the same way.
