With the addition of the Deploy to Bluemix button it is easier than ever to point someone at your public DevOps Services project and get them to a running example in minutes. The challenge is this that this requires some foresight to ensure that it works as expected in most scenarios and with minimal intervention from the ’new’ user whom is likely unfamiliar with the application.

Working on upgrading my little ITX box to have some larger internal hard drives. Currently it has 2 internal drives(sdb 500G and sda 120G SSD), a USB thumb drive(sdd 16G with / and /boot), and two external USB drives (sde 2TB & sdc 1TB). Purchased a relatively cheap 4TB internal HD and want to swap out the 500GB drive for that.

Tuning NFS performance really requires that a set of performance baselines to tell if you are doing any good, so that is really where this needs to start.

Why is it that so many developers are immediately defensive when they are told that they should try to change the way they operate. When a construction worker is given a better hammer or a automatic nail gun they are quick to realize the benefits via immediate feedback and are able to assimilate the new tools into there jobs, assuming they are not state workers, they do not complain that they could nail plywood 5x faster or that they are less strained at the end of the day. However when I tell a developer that there are changes to their current practices that they can take to improve I am immediately met with a defensive posture. I do not enjoy placating developers and the hours listening and nodding my head agreeing that they are smart and their knowledge and experience is are useful. These experiences are useful, I will assume that your developers do not suck, and it is hard for a person to listen to you shatter their school of thought whether you have a logical explaination or not and not feel personally attacked.

Part of keeping your UrbanCode Deploy infrastructure healthy is to ensure that you have appropriate cleanup policies in place. One challenge here is identifying what your corporations actual retention policies are, and establishing the ultimate source of truth for deployable artifact information. A key to understanding and persisting data is to first understand what makes up your meaningful data.
