Image courtesy by Wouter Horré. Bridging the gap between projects. Techniques both in development. What Is This Devops Thing, Anyway? In the last few months, a movement has begun to take shape. Its a movement of people who think its time for change in the IT industry - time to stop wasting money, time to start delivering great software, and building systems that scale and last. This movement is being called Devops. But what is Devops? Where did it come from? And what can it achieve? Once an application i...

sysadvent: Day 19 - Kanban for Sysadmins
http://sysadvent.blogspot.com/2009/12/day-19-kanban-for-sysadmins.html
December 19, 2009. Day 19 - Kanban for Sysadmins. This article written by Stephen Nelson-Smith. I've been managing systems teams in an Agile environment for a number of years, and after thought and experimentation, I can recommend using an approach borrowed from Lean systems management, called Kanban. Operations teams need to deliver business value. The approach may be summarised as moving from the historic model of software development as a large team taking a long time to build a large system, towards ...

Monday, 30 September 2013. Revoking private key access to EC2 instances, and other random tips. Consider the following scenario. You have many EC2 instances running production code. Access to those instances is using a passphrase-protected key. A member of your operations team who has access to the key leaves so you have to change the key. Or, you need to change the existing key as a matter of some internal security policy. How do you do it? Generate a new keypair. Done The old key is useless now. AWS ke...

code@deepinspace.net: gcc does not check out of scope names in unreachable code
http://code.deepinspace.net/2011/01/gcc-does-not-check-out-of-scope-names.html
Sunday, 30 January 2011. Gcc does not check out of scope names in unreachable code. While attempting to write a small HTTP server in C, I copied some code over from a previously written C file and immediately noticed a bug. Include "./mynet.h". If(errno = EINTR) {. Yes it's a stupid beginner mistake - typing the assignment operator instead of the equals check. The thread of execution would never enter the else block. I corrected it, but the interesting part came when I tried to compile it. I would say ye...

http://code.deepinspace.net/2010/02/dreaming-in-code.html
Monday, 1 March 2010. I finished reading Dreaming in Code. Last week. It's Scott Rosenberg's account of a software development team's effort to build the ultimate Personal Information Manager (PIM). Led and funded by Mitch Kapor of Lotus 1-2-3 fame, the team goes through endless cycles of redesign, people issues and other upheavals. Rosenberg follows the team very closely, participating in their meetings, interviewing them and filling the narrative with his own insights. Due to numerous reasons, Chandler...
