Interesting stuff. As an ops guy who's been doing this stuff for 15 years, I'm always faced with training junior sysadmins. I could see a tool like this being very helpful. If you want some more detailed feedback, I'd be happy to chat.

Websockets through ELB works fine if you use the TCP listener. You lose out on some HTTP-specific features like Cookie-based session stickiness, but it works great otherwise. We've been using Websockets/ELB in production for almost a year

AFAIK zones are randomized. 1a for me is 1d for you.

Seconded. It's gotta be on the RDS roadmap.

Very nice UI/UX. If I was a .NET developer this is something I would consider using and paying for. 2 initial thoughts: 1. It's not clear how the integration works (API call during exception handling?). That mechanism is important to me,

Where are the PUTs? POST /inbound/faxes/{id}/mark - Mark as read/unread Shouldn't that be a PUT on /inbound/faxes/{id}? Seems like you're updating the representation of the fax, not performing some non-idempotent action (like a resend, wh

At OpDemand we're using WebSockets successfully through multiple ELBs. The trick is setting the listener to use TCP instead of HTTP. With TCP forwarding you lose X-Forwarded-For headers, Cookie stickiness and a few other HTTP-specific fea

Most of the excess charges I saw during my AWS consulting were due to dev/test environments with fat 64-bit instances that were left running overnight and during the weekends. Why? It's relatively easy to stand up environments in the cloud

Totally agree on the PaaS squeeze. It's a very tough problem space and consolidation is already on the horizon. These days everyone wants a streamlined, Heroku-style workflow. And yet it's interesting that despite the benefits of PaaS, ma

Most enterprise CIO's understand Amazon's place in cloud computing. You'd have to be criminally negligent not to. Most enterprise tools vendors are positioning for AWS support/compatibility as well. I'm attending a BMC webinar in a few mi

The AWS dashboard is a great tool if you're a cloud engineer; it's technical but necessarily so. As the CTO of OpDemand, I can tell you first-hand that users are willing to pay for a simplified and streamlined AWS management process. Our u

You'll ultimately want to learn both, but start with Python. Python is the definition of a general-purpose, beginner-friendly language that can also be used for more advanced stuff. That's part of what makes Python such a good CS101 langua

Pushing code across 20-odd servers using OpDemand only takes 30 seconds, so there's not much time for tunage. Still I'd have to go with the mashup: Deadmau5 vs. Salt N' Pepa - Ghost N' Push It

I would argue that that operations engineers need to become more like developers, not that developers should be operating critical systems. The cultural problem can also be framed as a transition from a server-centric operations model to an

Clearly the right option depends on the specifics of the service and the team managing it. However, unless you have a spare server sitting around, you're in the same boat either way, right? Outages at serious cloud providers like AWS are u

Jamming ephemeral cloud infrastructure into an ITIL-style bureaucracy is like jamming a square peg into a round hole. You can push as hard as you want -- it ain't gonna fit.

It sounds like you're a talented engineer who's comfortable working on the technical side of the house. If that's true, the biggest challenge you're likely to face is managerial. Being CTO in an agile environment is about managing the tech
