I think Google is probably the most Free Software friendly of the the new big three (Amazon, Google, Microsoft). They haven't disappointed with Fuschia which appears to be entirely copyleft: https://fuchsia.googlesource.com

Did you consider AWS have to keep prices high to constrain demand?

We do pretty heavily - Packer for production workloads for > 2 years - Consul for production workloads for > 1.5 years - Terraform for building production (and all other) infrastructure for > 1 year

I run an AWS partner who deals with many large ($millions a year each but not tens of millions each) aws customers. It seems like the number of customers asking for a feature is more important than the size of those customers in my experien

My theory is they simply can't find enough things to spend on, but can't afford to lower AWS pricing without being swamped with more demand than they can handle. I don't think Amazon are preparing for period of capital invest

AWS have two dedicated DCs ('AZs') in Sydney. For services that require quorum (Dynamo, SQS, S3 and others) they also have a private third 'AZ' in SY3-II. When you get an EC2 instance it is always in a dedicated DC, n

AWS have at least 32 DCs - all regions have a minimum of two data centres for proper ha. There are four more scheduled to come online this year, India and UK. If you think ovh and aws are comparable in anything but the very broadest terms y

Given that kubernetes (the project behind GCE) was open sourced in early June, I hardly think a tweet from a week and a half ago shows it's not a response to Google.

Yep, this is Amazon reaching out to those who won't/can't take the 'immutable infrastructure' approach. It's fair to say if you're already doing things in the way you describe, this service isn't for

Vagrant already does this nicely, and works with more than just Docker. For those targeting production outside of Docker my company has made these images available: https://github.com/BashtonLtd/docker-vagrant-images

The solution is not to specify desired capacity in CFN at all. It used to be a mandatory parameter, but hasn't been for a while now

Not really; there's a mismatch between the people who incur the cost of getting IP address space, the content providers, and the people who would incur the biggest costs switching to IPv6, the connectivity providers.

Very happy Sensu user for over a year now. You can use nagios check plugins, but it's a completely new, and IMO much better designed code base. http://sensuapp.com/

That's correct. rsyslog also supports TCP though.

Nice work! We write the logs to disk and then use rsyslogs imfile feature to read from there. Your approach has the advantage of not requiring disk writes. BTW, we're not in Toronto, but we're hiring and happy to accept remote wo

I posted this as a comment on the blog, but I'm duplicating here: RHEL and Debian (and their respective derivatives) have different philosophies on packaging, which is why you see this result. The RHEL philosophy is simple; package ins

SVN support would be great. We run an ops consultancy business, I can think of a few customers who could really do with this tool, but all of them use svn. I suspect this isn't a coincidence.

Looks interesting, but it seems strange to me that it's something of an island. There's no integration with Elastic Load Balancer, no integration with RDS or in fact any of the other AWS services except for deployment from S3.
