It is exciting to see progress in this space and new ways of thinking infrastructure, kudos to everyone!!

My only hope is that we learned and we don't end up managing things like GH repositories or Pagerduty schedules.

I was so sad when increment sent its last issue in November

I love this projects because they aim to enforce best practices. I particular like pre-commit.com. Fairly easy to set up and a large variety of plugins already.

Congrats on this launch pretty exited to see its evolution

Too bad not many people read this https://twitter.com/ibobrik/status/454205142662119424

2cents about this:

1. If you are setting up Sentinel with puppet you can do audit of a file instead of modifying it on every run http://puppetlabs.com/blog/all-about-auditing-with-puppet this way you can install, configure and start sentinel and puppet will notice that the content changed. You can decide if you want to change the file or if you would like puppet to notice about it.

2. About sentinel, don't know how you are triggering the failover but we discovered a bug on versions prior to 2.8.12 on manual failovers, https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/redis-db/rhommel/... so it was fixed in 2.8.12 and never seen redis taking more than a second.

They mentioned AWS direct connect which helps to reduce latency.

I think they just said this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYZ2GzYAw_Q

We won't see IPV6 for the next 10 years or so.

They need to know who is the real owner of each IP for tracing purposes.

So whats the difference from this and the embedded backup restore tools on ES 1.0.1?

Maybe the first step to avoid issues is to enforce SSL which is easy on any webserver before going HSTS.

Agree on this, and also most of the production apps don't require the same modules.

Too addictive.

So, in case you didn't notice. This can be a way to let others take care of notifying you when cron's fail so you can focus on more productive tasks.
