Yes, but given that it's open-source I imagine if there was a back-door in it, someone would have found it by now. That said, they could purposefully have excluded security triggers for vulnerable kernel exploits which haven't bee

FYI we've spoken in the #puppet channel about just this issue ;).

Well, rabbitmq is kind of a pain to get working with it. Additionally, the modules for rabbitmq and mcollective, for puppet, don't really work that well together (read: I had to re-write the ones I found to get them working).

Same here. Most seem to expect you to do the Heroku route and just run your database off of another cloud service... well, what if I DON'T want to do that? The answer seems to be oh well for many projects. Frustrating for sure.

Openshift per the #openshift channel only currently supports scaling of HTTP resources (I'm a bit surprised about that). I currently use Cloudify, but have had some... issues and they use a Java agent which is pretty memory heavy, so I

I did see the openstack Docker integration and it seems like a very interesting prospect. Hopefully something that will be integrated into the core Openstack project (although perhaps it might be better to integrate LXC into Openstack and t

I've seen your guys site before actually. I thought you were a Puppet house, not Chef though? Sounds interesting to be sure though! I'll keep an eye on your site.

Saw this a while back. It looks like a fun little project for Docker. What I'd be more interested in is seeing a more robust version of something like this (and the author mentions it on his Github). Things like scaling ability and sim

No offense, but that's pretty much what every acquisition ever hopes for... and then they find out after the 'no interference' clause in their contract expires you start getting 'Input' from the new ownership. I hop

Basically we have chosen Percona to by our MySQL 'base'. Essentially even if they switch to MariaDB as the core I can expect a seamless transition and support to back it up if needed. Essentially if the crap ever truly hits the fa

I think it not outside the realm of realistic to imagine that the NSA has the ability to break all/nearly all encrypted data with ease. I mean, I have had quite a few friends with PhD level mathematics degrees hired by the NSA. Haven&#

Wait, what? WPScan is a standalone Ruby script. You run it against a Wordpress site. There's nothing to install on the WP website in question. You can even run it against public WP websites if you wanted to (although I imagine you migh

I had an attached comment with this information but want to break it out as it will likely be useful to people without lots of time dealing with the various ways Wordpress can/will (mostly will) get attacked. First: Double-check your f

Just as an FYI, those attacks are fully automated. There wasn't really some guy on the other end doing this. Had a client have this same thing happen to them and the request to re-infect kept coming in long after the initial issue was

Thanks for the post Moxie! I always enjoy reading your stuff (and have you subscribed in my RSS feed). I think it's sad that many believe they 'have nothing to hide'. I've already seen it expressed online in response to

Well.. uhh... Now we know what this project was specifically used for. But seriously, usage concerns for the project notwithstanding, it looks like a cool K/V storage system. I wonder how it performs compared to similar systems and how it h

Man, it's times like this which I had down-vote ability already. First a post up-thread asking for someone to give their real identity and now this. You must be a real jewel of a human.

Well, since you're answering questions... Would you say in general that the government is becoming less 'secular'? Have there been other large changes pushed by the government besides the big issues I have heard about (including the alcohol

Oh man, I've never heard of their printers before. The multi-color $2500 version looks really cool. Now if this Kickstarter project could do that for $400 I would be all over it.

by druiid 13y ago
Same here. I generally look at the 'ship dates' on Kickstarter as kind of a moving target with pretty much any project I have yet to encounter there. I have yet to actually NOT get what they promised (eventually). I would also find it hard

Someone already responded with hacks being a fact of life. There's basically CS programming, and then 'real life'. If there wasn't a need to generally get things out the door I imagine there would be far fewer exploits of software out there

Very cool. I looked at the Fuel stuff as well, but at the time it wasn't quite able to do everything I needed so I ended up rolling my own. The 2.2 update they have coming up soon sounds like it fixes all of the things that were 'wrong' for

Clone of Heroku? None I'm aware of. A bring-your-own PaaS? Many. I work with Cloudify myself: http://www.cloudifysource.org/ Nice things: It integrates with Chef/Puppet, allows built-in auto-scaling so it's cloud independent... has recipe

I would really love to recommend Juju. I used it for a good couple months attempting to get even just a working Openstack deployment. The trouble is that for the bare-metal functionality you guys mean it to be paired with MaaS. Unfortunatel

I don't really agree with this. If you're defining a whole crazy master/agent relationship with Puppet then it's overkill for them, no doubt. There's a reason many Vagrant boxes I see use Puppet to instantiate though: It's friggin simple to

by druiid 13y ago
I would say the biggest difference between Puppet and Chef comes down to Chef is basically 'pure' Ruby while Puppet has a DSL derived from Ruby, which is meant to be easy to work with. I personally prefer Puppet because there's generally on

by druiid 13y ago
Well this is why I suggested pre-running with Puppet and 'install' your code and dependencies into the AMI before saving it. That way you get the best of both worlds. Obviously if you have a setup with rapidly deployed code changes you'll w

I really want to use Salt for something one of these days given I work with Python quite a bit... but basically at this point my investment with Puppet is relatively significant, so I'm not sure if the pain of switching would be worth it. I

by druiid 13y ago
That's actually, honestly, a bad way to do it. It's fine to pre-load an instance with source and application/package dependencies. At this point though, you really should be backing those up with it being deployed by Puppet/Chef. Essentiall
