Why Puppet? Why now? Can you get by without using any config management? You probably think don't have time, or that your project is too small. What can using Puppet really add? How can you justify investing time up front? Maybe you can just do it later? Getting started with config management can often seem like a big project, especially if you only manage a few systems or have a small team. This talk will examine why you should use Puppet from the beginning. It will examine what you can do with Puppet that couldn't do otherwise, how much time it will save and why it's especially important if you think your project has even the smallest chance of scaling in the future. Presented by David Mytton at Puppet Camp London 2015-04-13

WP-CLI Talk from WordCamp Montreal

Shawn Hooper

WP-CLI is a command line interface tool that allows users to manage WordPress from the command line. It is useful for developers, theme designers, and server administrators. To use WP-CLI, one needs SSH access and a "UNIX-like" environment like Linux, OSX, or Cygwin. Installing WP-CLI involves downloading the phar file, setting permissions, and moving it to a useful location like /usr/local/bin/wp. Common commands include installing and managing plugins, interacting with the database, searching and replacing content, generating test content, and more.

6 reasons you should program in go

Michael Banzon

Go is a compiled language that compiles to a single binary without needing a virtual machine. It has built-in support for easy concurrency using goroutines and channels that allows for simple yet powerful communication. Writing servers in Go is also easy due to its powerful and production-ready net/http library, and the code is clean and minimal due to automatic formatting tools and standard practices around the language. The standard library is also very full-featured so most needs are met out of the box, and the language is designed to be easy to use, learn and get started with through commands like "go get", "go build", and "go test".

Conditional Logging Considered Harmful - Sean Reilly

JAXLondon2014

The document discusses the issues with conditional logging frameworks and advocates for an alternative approach using enum-based logging designed specifically for operations. It proposes logging through enums where each value has a unique code and format string. The output is designed to be easy to read and parse. An open source Java library called OpsLogger is introduced that follows this pattern and is testable, generates documentation, and is optimized for log file rotation.

The document discusses the integration of time as a theme in a film trailer, poster, and magazine advertising package. In the trailer, every time the clock reads "11:57" the main character reacts negatively, hinting at why he is mentally unstable. Both the trailer and poster feature the time "11:57" and the tagline "lost time is never found again" to raise questions about the time's significance. The poster and trailer also portray the main character's psychological breakdown as he tries to repress memories of a woman named Lisa. The color schemes, images, and text in the advertising package work together to successfully convey the film's themes and intrigue potential audiences.

Analysis of Human to Human Tutorial Dialogues: Insights for Teaching Analytics

Irene-Angelica Chounta

This document discusses research on analyzing human tutorial dialogues to understand how to best support learning. It aims to develop an adaptive tutorial system guided by a student model. The research questions examine what makes tutorial dialogue successful and how dialogues adapt to different student characteristics. The study analyzed 3 human tutorial dialogues on physics to build a coding scheme to operationalize "levels of support." The coding scheme was then applied and evaluated on 10 additional dialogues. Lessons learned were that providing appropriate adaptive dialogic support is complex and depends on individual students. Future work could involve experts designing dialogic support for different student types.

Deploying your SaaS stack OnPrem

Kris Buytaert

The document discusses challenges with deploying a SaaS platform on-premises for customers. It notes that automation and tools developed for internal use may not work well for external customers due to different constraints around access, networking, security policies and variability between customer environments. Deploying on-premises requires implementing customizations for each unique customer setup, reduces ability to easily fix issues, and significantly increases costs compared to hosting in one's own infrastructure. The document recommends choosing a SaaS model over on-premises if possible to avoid these challenges.

The business case for contributing code

Zivtech, LLC

In the Drupal community we tend to talk about committing code to our public spaces (drupal.org, but also github) in terms of "contributing" and "contributions", and while much of it can be seen in that light, there are actually very strong business reasons for publishing your code and/or attempting to get your code changes committed to the open source project that you are working on. We will be looking at several documents from the U.S. Military detailing their recommendations for contracting Open Source Software services, and will use those as a jumping off point to discuss the many benefits of contributing code. Some of the business reasons for public publishing we'll explore will include: * The power of peer review. With enough eyes, all bugs are shallow, and with only a few eyes the stupidity knows no depths! * Fork you! The costs associated with "hacking" both Drupal core and contrib modules and base themes. * Take my code, please! Cost savings from committing patches. * Professionals publish or perish. Using code commits as marketing towards clients or potential hires. * It's so easy, even a child(ish person) could do it! How you can easily integrate patching into your development workflow. This session will also include a walk through of how Zivtech handles code review, patches, and deployment processes and you will hopefully walk away convinced that all of your in-house and out-sourced developers should be publicly committing their work.

'Intro to Infrastructure as Code' - DevOps Belfast

John Fitzpatrick

This document provides an introduction to infrastructure as code and Chef. It discusses how infrastructure as code treats infrastructure configuration like code that can be version controlled, tested, and managed declaratively. It then introduces Chef concepts like resources, recipes, cookbooks, and how they allow defining infrastructure in a declarative way using Ruby DSL. The document uses examples like package, file, template and service resources to illustrate how Chef models infrastructure as code.

The framework is developed as an open source project under the BSD license to encourage contributions from the community.

Keeping MongoDB Data Safe

Tony Tam

This document discusses various strategies for backing up MongoDB data to keep it safe. It recommends: 1. Using mongodump for simple backups that can restore quickly but may be inconsistent. 2. Setting up replication for high availability, but also using mongodump for backups and testing restore processes. 3. Taking snapshots of the data files for consistent backups, but this requires downtime and gaps can occur between snapshots. 4. Using the oplog for incremental, continuous backups to avoid gaps without downtime using tools like the Wordnik Admin Tools. Testing backups is strongly recommended.

Make It Cooler: Using Decentralized Version Control

indiver

A commonly used version control system in the ColdFusion community is Subversion -- a centralized system that relies on being connected to a central server. The next generation version control systems are “decentralized”, in that version control tasks do not rely on a central server. Decentralized version control systems are more efficient and offer a more practical way of software development. In this session, Indy takes you through the considerations in moving from Subversion to Git, a decentralized version control system. You also get to understand the pros and cons of each and hear of the practical experience of migrating projects to decentralized version control. Version control is often used in conjunction with a testing framework and continuous integration. To complete the picture, Indy walks you through how to integrate Git with a testing framework, MXUnit, and a continuous integration server, Hudson.

Opscode Chef for Dummies
