I think this is fine. If you use a 3rd party repository, you can almost expect it to fail. If you rely on repositories so heavily, run Apt Cacher or mirror them on s3 or the like, its pretty simple. This is a pretty common practice in any

Look at Chef. Its extensively unit tested in both the core client & server, but also the cookbooks associated with it. Check out the docker one for example https://github.com/chef-cookbooks/docker The interfaces an

Effectively yes. Basically, they own the TLD and can sell any domains under that. So, if you want thechthrowaway.blog, you've got to pay them to purchase it. In reality, you will probably purchase this from godaddy or similar, but ulti

So do you encourage people to add tests to their wrapper cookbooks when they consume these? I read the philosophy and readme docs, and I kindof get what your doing with attribute precedence, and how these cookbooks are sane defaults with ov

So logstash V5, is that a rewrite in go? I say this because it seems all their other tooling is now written in go, and also, logstash agent and server are very resource intensive in jruby. If theres a v5 alpha, which isnt on github, is it

Real question: Do you need to build a micro service SOA right now? http://martinfowler.com/bliki/MonolithFirst.html Distributed systems are hard, and building a microservice SOA that is functional is damn hard. I feel

open source or not, they should follow the best practices, these don't. The fact is, really old open source cookbooks have been copy pasted, with the maintainers names changed, and hacked on top of. For example, the MySQL cookbook. Thi

The chef code that deploys all the apps is pretty old skool, copy pasta'd from opensource cookbooks in alot of places, will never pass food critic or rubocop, and has no tests. I wouldn't really want to run that code on anything.

Theres alot of really badly written chef code in there at that. :/

This raises some interesting points, and I agree in part. I think docker makes sense in some cases, single, compiled binaries that adhere to 12 factor app standards, I'm all for putting in a docker container. I would then run them on a

I would say it is, and I'm really excited about it. After seeing a demo of it at chef community summit London, I am currently moving all of my serverspec tests to InSpec. InSpec has these additional features over serverspec: - Transpor

I really like this, i use the AWS cli daily, and its syntax and options are very comprehensive, but not so user friendly.

Totally agree with you. I was just about to write the exact same thing. I've had problems with dell hardware, hardware raid controllers, and hundreds of ssds. The most stable systems I've worked on use lsi sas controllers, perhaps

Mandrake was one of my first linux distros as well. It was a pretty exciting step up from slackware for me back then. A shame that its the end.

I am interested to hear a bit more about this, as I find it hard to believe. I have only ran it at pretty small scale - x8 servers, around 300 million documents indexed a day, peak index rate 30k docs/sec. I found that you have to moni

Great article to explain terraform to newcomers. I am extremely excited to move all of my infrastructure to terraform once a few more features have been added. Its a great project, by great people, from a great company.

I am wondering why they don't ask large cloud providers to donate storage. If amazon, microsoft, google, rackspace, joyent, etc all gave them 10pb worth of data, they could just make a facade to their apis and store all the data on the
