ops-scorecard - Project Hosting on Google Code

"Ops Scorecard is a tool for auditing, tracking, and analyzing an organization's IT service management capabilities and performance.

Ops Scorecard is about objectively assessing an organization's current service management capabilities, reinforcing ongoing best practices, and measuring improvement over time.

The first goal of Ops Scorecard is to provide the immediate feedback that your engineering and operations teams need to both reinforce IT service management best practices and push them towards continuous improvement. The second goal of Ops Scorecard is to provide your organization's upper management with a clear picture of your IT service management improvement efforts (and help them measure their return on investment).

If you are familiar with concepts like ITIL or Visible Ops, you should feel right at home with Scorecard. If not, Ops Scorecard should still make sense based on your practical service management experience. In any design decisions, we've tried to error on the side of making things as simple and straightforward as possible. "

Build Pipeline Plugin - Jenkins - Jenkins Wiki
Build Pipeline Plugin - Jenkins - Jenkins Wiki

"Continuous Integration has become a widely adopted practice in modern software development. Jenkins & Hudson are great tools for supporting Continuous Integration.

Taking it to the next level: Continuous integration can become the centerpiece of your deployment pipeline, orchestrating the promotion of a version of software through quality gates and into production. By extending the concepts of CI you can create a chain of jobs each one subjecting your build to quality assurance steps. These QA steps may be a combination of manual and automated steps. Once a build has passed all these, it can be automatically deployed into production.

In order to better support this process, we have developed the Build Pipeline Plugin. This gives the ability to form a chain of jobs based on their upstream\downstream dependencies. Downstream jobs may, as per the default behaviours, be triggered automatically ,or by a suitable authorised user manually triggering it.

You can also see a history of pipelines in a view, the current status and where each version got to in the chain based on it's revision number in VCS."

iClassify allows for the easy registration and classification of nodes. Most of the time, a node is a server. With iClassify:

Nodes register themselves with a central web service, including reporting Facter facts. You can then tag those nodes, and add manual attributes. You can search the nodes with a full text search engine You can write recipies for icagent to auto-classify and auto-attribute your nodes. You can tie it in to Puppet as an external node classification tool, enabling you to easily configure hundreds of nodes at a time. You can tie it in to Capistrano, and have a dynamic ad-hoc configuration tool, see CapistranoTask.

You Must Have A Killer In Your System – MySQL Diary
You Must Have A Killer In Your System – MySQL Diary
"It is a good idea to have a script killer that can kill these slow queries when necessary. Since a script killer will sacrifice the page that called the slow query, this concept works well where the slow query is called from very few and less trafficked pages. Killing these queries will allow more productive and more frequently called queries to execute while the slow query is being investigated."

etckeeper
etckeeper
etckeeper is a collection of tools to let /etc be stored in a git, mercurial, darcs, or bzr repository. It hooks into apt (and other package managers including yum and pacman-g2) to automatically commit changes made to /etc during package upgrades. It tracks file metadata that revison control systems do not normally support, but that is important for /etc, such as the permissions of /etc/shadow. It's quite modular and configurable, while also being simple to use if you understand the basics of working with revision control.

Earned value management - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Earned value management (EVM) is a project management technique for measuring project progress in an objective manner. EVM has the ability to combine measurements of scope, schedule, and cost in a single integrated system. When properly applied, EVM provides an early warning of performance problems. Additionally, EVM promises to improve the definition of project scope, prevent scope creep, communicate objective progress to stakeholders, and keep the project team focused on achieving progress.

How Twitter Uses NoSQL - ReadWriteCloud
Weil is quick to point out that Twitter is heavily dependent on MySQL. However, Twitter does employ NoSQL solutions for many purposes for which MySQL isn't ideal. According to Weil, Twitter users generate 12 terrabytes of data a day - about four petabytes per year. And that amount is multiplying every year. Read on for our notes on Weil's talk.
