Some truth in the sarcasm. A lot is abstracted from you. If you’re not worrying anymore about disks, switches, and libraries failing, use the newly
found time to focus on avoiding and preparing for higher level failures.
Failure happens. Need to plan for failure.
Lesson 1: Redundancy
• DNS Redundancy? Dyn has it covered.• Disk Redundancy? Amazon & OpenShift got it.• Network Redundancy? Experts on the scene.• Your application’s redundancy? YOU!
Lesson 1: Redundancy
• Cheaper than ever to deploy parallel infrastructure around the world
• Load balancing with DNS– Intelligently answer DNS queries based on real-
time insight into your application’s availability• Automatic geo-targeting and automatic
failover with Dynect Platform• Uptime is the bottom line!
Lesson 2: Test, Promote, Rollback!• Cheaper and easier than ever
to automate your testing.
• New possibilities to promote not just code to production, but production quality nodes. Additional safety.
• Add/remove nodes via DNS
• Set traffic levels: – 99% of traffic to old and
trusted– 1% to the new hotness
• Busted? Pull node out of DNS with a 1 second TTL, back to normal
Lesson 3: Learn!
• Read the outage reports of the experts• Learn what problems were encountered, and
see how you can avoid making them in the future.
• Apply to your own applications. It’s cheaper and easier than you think.
