You can use any CF tool over ssh, this is not unique to ansible. In doing so, you can also "push" to any CF tool. You can also push by using more integrated tools, such as mcollective with puppet.

Puppet supports a push model using mcollective. You can also just use ssh the same as ansible and use any CF tool to "push" changes.

As mentioned, you would need "some sort of process" to config the host -- this is Puppet/Chef/etc. Replacing those is not trivial.

Also, not quite sure I understand config "inside vs outside" being the big idea. You can easily include Puppet manifests and have Puppet run in standalone mode from within the container with no outside access to config. That's not new.

Posting bail has nothing to do with being under arrest, and everything to do with remaining detained. For many (particularly non-violent) arrests there is no reason to detain a person until the time of their trial, which is at least a month but can commonly be a year or longer after the original arrest date due to a backlogged court system as well as delays necessary to prepare for a trial. Bail system does favor people that can afford it, but so does the trial system (afford a better lawyer), the healthcare system (afford a better doctor), the housing system (afford a better house in a better area), etc. That's called capitalism.

You're arguing for scaling up (vertical) instead of scaling out (horizontal). Both are valid approaches. Scaling out is preferred because your architecture is mode modular and you do not have to constantly buy bigger machines as your usage grows; you just add additional machines with similar capacity. The main problem with scaling up is that price and performance are not linearly related and eventually you will be limited by the performance available to one system. But it's a perfectly valid approach for certain scenarios.

I'd be interested to hear why you've created a separate "devops" position in addition to the linux engineer. Do you actually have a separate team you call "devops"? If so, how does this relate to the concepts of DevOps other than in name?

I'm a bit surprised that deviantart has chosen to call the position a "devops" engineer on the "devops" team when what you're really looking for is a system engineer on your ops team. Does that concern any of the "devops" engineers that the management doesn't understand what devops is?

The average for a 4 year degree only is just shy of $55,000 so the minimum is well below that. Perhaps you mean specifically computer science, but based on location and the school you went to you can definitely start below $60k. You are probably also referring specifically to SF, where your number sounds about right. Might be time to reconsider your perspective before trying to make sweeping generalizations.

Did you even try to research this yourself? There are many mutual funds that have 20%+ YTD. It's typically recommended to invest before paying off debt like student loans/mortgages because you're likely to make more investing than what you'd save on interest.

6.01 (6.001) is where SICP was previously taught, not 6.00. 6.00 is an introductory course to be taken for those with no/limited programming exposure before 6.01.

I'm not sure why the author is so afraid of the chargeback process. If you request a merchant to stop charging you and they refuse or don't acknowledge you, your credit card company will contact the merchant on your behalf to cancel the relationship or block future transactions. It only takes a few minutes to submit the request.

Elasticsearch, the recommended backend for making your logs searchable, is a separate project from logstash. Logstash does come with a built in elasticsearch, designed to get people up and running very quickly, but if you are considering any serious use of elasticsearch you would set it up yourself as a standalone service.

Logstash does come with a simple web interface, and kibana is a slightly better but still simple interface being ported into logstash. Again this is geared towards getting people up and running quickly, and at the end of the day it's just a pretty curl wrapper for elasticsearch.

You can also use logstash without elasticsearch/kibana, which we do for a good bit of our logs. I think logstash intentionally blurs the lines of what it is or isn't so people don't get caught up in trying to figure out how to get it running. Give it a try and see for yourself exactly what it is or isn't.

Although logstash does have a built in elasticsearch, I wouldn't really say anyone uses logstash itself to provide search for the logs. Logstash itself just provides a way to move events from one place to another, that's all.

I've been using my own bash scripts for a few years to manage local VMs with KVM for dev and I have exactly 6 commands in 249 lines (excluding blank and comments) and never needed more: image, create, start, stop, delete, list. Where can I collect my $250 USD?
