But if you can't flip a switch to deploy an identical server and/or restore from a backup image, aren't you in deep shit anyway? Your failure plan is to rebuild

But if you can't flip a switch to deploy an identical server and/or restore from a backup image, aren't you in deep shit anyway? Your failure plan is to rebuild the box from scratch?
- nknighthb 13y agoFor a one-off budget server in 2002-2003? Yes, yes it is. For a highly-available mission-critical infrastructure in 2013, the failure plan is also to rebuild from scratch, because "failure" means redundant and backup systems have exploded. This is most likely to occur when you automatically roll out untested changes to your infrastructure. In either case, you won't be sleeping tonight. Or possibly tomorrow night.
