I'm curious how the big crypto companies are managing these large fleets of servers without doing some form of Devops? Looking at the docs there's a stack that needs to be deployed and maintained:

- yokem55 4y agoThey use special signing software (dirk or web3signer) that can have the keys split accross several physical machines. If they have separate access credentials for each system, it makes it difficult for anyone to have access to the complete keys. Then a central validator client can request signatures from each signer to complete attestations and block proposals.
- bogomipz 4y agoThis didn't really answer my question though. There's other software besides key management services that run on those nodes. How is that being managed if these orgs are not doing some form of Devops?
