I’m working for the big chip company now, sound a little bit weird, though ๐Ÿ˜‰ .

Anyway, I’m sitting in backend team focusing on DevOps, I guess I will be in this mixed role till we find a dedicated DevOps guy. I guess whenever that happens, I’ve already finished monitoring facility (plus logistical stuffs like on-call schedule, etc.), and should have finished the plan to migrate from Rackspace to AWS.

Everything works smoothly so far except git – I admit current company is using git in a modern way, but I don’t think previous company was doing something wrong. Anyway, I believe people do have different ideas of how to use git, I just have to fit into the company’s style.

I don’t quite like saltstack although I’m still trying to get familiar with it. However, before I raise this as a concern to the team, I’d like to make sure everything that saltstack is doing can be done by cfengine.

Ah yea, also need to evaluate Shinken as it’s a pure Python solution, and “we are a python house”.

Trying to merge everything running on AWS to a single instance, and once the instance is good enough to run all my stuffs, will book a reserved instance to save cost.

It seems I’m having less and less sites up and running, I got impression that I used to have 10+ sites flying around for random purposes but now I have only 2 “serious” sites. Sure I still have 2 or 3 sites running test environments but they can be discarded anytime.

The company is moving to AWS as I was told, could be a good time to start look around things like VPC, etc.
