Introducing ClusterFsck: Filebased S3 Configuration Kontrol
- kowdermeister 13y agoI can't read the name other than ClusterFuck. Sorry, it's my brain. :)
- 2arrs2ells 13y agoFeature not a bug!
- pbreit 13y agoI guess I'm a prude but the name alone would prevent me from using it.
- dblock 13y agoMore options is good! Centrally storing configuration is always a good idea. Amazon OpsWorks manages configuration centrally via a web-based command and control. Heroku manages configuration centrally via environment and heroku config:add. ClusterFsck (did I type that right? :)) lets me store things on S3, centrally.
- jabbernotty 13y agoIs this based on Amazon S3 because you have that at hand, or is it based on it because of some innate advantage?
- bglusman 13y agoA little bit of both I guess? It's become standard enough that most web developers (at least most I know) have an account and use it for a few things here and there, it's dirt cheap and widely available, and it's just text files we're storing, so nothing more heavy weight is needed. It does also offer versioning, which I believe we may add a feature to take advantage of for rolling back configuration changes in a coherent way if something goes wrong or to recreate a problem locally on a certain date, but don't think we've started even planning that yet (pull requests welcome!)
- toomuchtodo 13y agoDon't forget that its highly durable. When was the last time S3 was down?
- tobowers 13y agoAnd, importantly, has ACL controls built in so it's easy to add/remove access to team members.
- lox 13y agoHave you had any issues with eventual consistency? Does this need to be run on US-west or EU for read-after-write consistency?
- nodata 13y agoAmazon is not involved in Prism, it seems. So that helps.
- wispor 13y agothe name is awesome.
- jjuliano 13y agoshameless plug, speaking of S3, I created a DSL for Amazon S3 (using s3cmd, because it is intended for my rake tasks) - http://jjuliano.github.io/s3cmd-dsl http://jjuliano.github.io/s3cmd-dsl
