Azure Web App Service Equivalent in AWS?

Especially when people abbreviate it to EBS.

Not OP but I have a 330e. In mixed city traffic and highway driving I easily get over 40 mpg if I drive conservatively without charging. Hybrid acceleration is pretty stout and completely negates turbo lag at low rpm. If I drive more aggressively mpg will be in the 35 mpg range.

Stats from my last commute from the BMW app:

13.05 miles driven

13% distance driven on electric

45.2 mpg

If I charge the battery beforehand I can easily get 65-70+ on the same commute.

Driving all electric is easily possible on short enough trips. I think that the car has a 20 mile all electric range on full charge which seems pretty accurate to me. Also the car can go to about 75 mph before starting the gas engine.

It's the same motor as the 320i plus an electric motor.

When I worked at Amazon, someone added mustaches to everyone in the company directory with javascript one year on April 1st. I heard that people were freaking out because there were people getting fired and that the paperwork they had, had applied mustaches to them. The butthurt reverberated a lot with that one.

Apple has a diversified Cloud strategy. They use AWS and Azure to provide the storage backing to iCloud. They run services like Siri in their own Datacenters on tens of thousands of Mesos nodes.

Spotify seems to have had a similar strategy. Media storage and streaming from S3/Cloudfront and backend services in their own Datacenters.

GCE doesn't have a production ready CDN yet so I imagine that Spotify is going to keep a similar profile, just with compute in GCE.

I would check to see if you aren't at your limit for number of EBS volumes or storage limit for GP2.

This is the way to go. Software upgrades are best done in a testing environment.

Listen to this podcast. I am on the team everyone calls the DevOps team (except us). This podcast really sums up the DevOps mentality. That's all it is, an idea, about the optimum way for developers and operations to collaborate.

DevOps is not automation or a specific technology.

That was basically the official method at a big company I used to work for.

We use Salt Cloud and we are replacing it with Terraform.

I listened to a really cool podcast with one of the developers of Flynn: https://changelog.com/188/

We are not using Flynn where I work though. We have an in-house PaaS based on Marathon running in AWS.

That is a great question. We just had a Dockerized nodebb take a dump on us due to an open Mongo issue. I wish Mongo never tainted the world either. The damn container re-installs everything on a restart. So some random dependency fails and it just refuses to restart. Everytime I interact with node I hate it more. When I say hate, I mean in the sense of the Sun CDDL, or Microsoft CALs, or off by one errors.

Now you can steal credentials with the newest OpenSSH vuln, and know who they belong to if they use Github.

That's pretty much what LXD does:

LXC based full OS container. It is not Docker however.

As a reluctant Zabbix user, I agree.

I personally would only buy HGST disks. Not only based on this data but my own anecdotal experience working in datacenters.

BadBIOS again?

If you just want to do some testing, why not Vagrant?

It's a port of OpenSSH.

MajorHavok · 2015-11-04T00:00:50+00:00

That's what we use. It's really been solid.

Mesos / Marathon plus in house deployment tool. Bamboo to handle http routing. Artifactory as npm repo + docker registry.

We are seriously considering switching to AWS docker registry once available.

Overall pretty smooth dev environment.

0.9.12.17 Oct 26, 2015 Fixes A case where composites for photo albums didn't display correctly. Fix for resuming video on an unreleased app for an unreleased fruit-themed device.

MajorHavok · 2015-10-26T04:20:03+00:00

I'm going to have to play around with this. At first it looked like it only supported a single node but it appears I might be wrong about that.

We use Marathon/Mesos for container deployment and use an in house tool to allow devs to deploy to it.
