Among motion picture sound technology and life-size photos of switchboard operators on roller-skates stood a transistor prototype. The transistor was invented in Bell labs in 1947, and it changed the […]]]> https://devops.com/speaking-the-language-of-applications/feed/ 0 131272 https://devops.com/securing-immutable-servers-serverless-world/ https://devops.com/securing-immutable-servers-serverless-world/#respond Mon, 27 Mar 2017 06:30:05 +0000 https://devops.com/?p=84124 Snowflakes are beautiful, unique creations. But, let’s keep them in nature. They don’t belong in our server infrastructure. Snowflake servers, where every configuration is just a little different, can introduce unnecessary security vulnerabilities and complications. While common in IT infrastructure, in the DevOps realm, they are gradually becoming ancient history. At the recent All Day […]]]> https://devops.com/securing-immutable-servers-serverless-world/feed/ 0 84124 https://devops.com/does-2015-josh-corman-john-willis-on-immutable-awesomeness/ https://devops.com/does-2015-josh-corman-john-willis-on-immutable-awesomeness/#comments Fri, 13 Nov 2015 07:53:27 +0000 https://devops.com/?p=11257 Continuing recapping my favorite sessions of DevOps Enterprise Summit 2015, here is Josh Corman and John Willis talking about Immutable Awesomeness. What is Immutable Awesomeness you ask? Have a listen to my interview with John and Josh and then listen into the actual session where they go over it. Just a couple of hints: 1.

Essentially the original “pets” style of server management has mainly hand-built, named, and configured servers that are heavily cared for as […]]]> https://devops.com/really-back-just-reboot/feed/ 1 9513 https://devops.com/docker-leaving-immutable-infrastructure-2/ https://devops.com/docker-leaving-immutable-infrastructure-2/#comments Tue, 26 Aug 2014 12:06:18 +0000 https://devops.com/?p=2553 According to Chad Fowler’s definition, Immutable Infrastructure can be defined as: “[S]ervers (or whatever) are deployed once and not changed. If they are changed for some reason, they are marked for garbage collection. Software is never upgraded on an existing server. Instead, the server is replaced with a new functionally equivalent server.” Though the idea […]]]> https://devops.com/docker-leaving-immutable-infrastructure-2/feed/ 2 2553
