Introduction: G'day, I'm building an application to manage WordPress PHP code on many servers. Our application will push down code updates to each server, as well as performing backups and testing. I'm considering different methods of pushing updated code onto the individual servers. I'm considering something like Capistrano (I've no experience in Ruby though). I've also considered using subversion and then remotely calling svn commands via SSH. Are there any other tools specifically for this purpose? The servers will have persistent data (the WordPress databases) so I don't want to re-image them every update. Plus, they will each have a different set of plugins / themes, so building many images would be too complex. If there are any papers on code deployment, or other recommended reading, please point the links my way. Likewise, if anyone has any suggestions, or would like more details, just let me know. Cheers - Callum .

2 0.17856698 255 high scalability-2008-02-21-Product: Capistrano - Automate Remote Tasks Via SSH

Introduction: Update:   Deployment with Capistrano   by Charles Max Wood.  Nice simple step-by-step for using Capistrano for deployment. From their website: Simply put, Capistrano is a tool for automating tasks on one or more remote servers. It executes commands in parallel on all targeted machines, and provides a mechanism for rolling back changes across multiple machines. It is ideal for anyone doing any kind of system administration, either professionally or incidentally. * Great for automating tasks via SSH on remote servers, like software installation, application deployment, configuration management, ad hoc server monitoring, and more. * Ideal for system administrators, whether professional or incidental. * Easy to customize. Its configuration files use the Ruby programming language syntax, but you don't need to know Ruby to do most things with Capistrano. * Easy to extend. Capistrano is written in the Ruby programming language, and may be extended easily by writing additional Ruby mod

Introduction: At 37 Signals Joshua Sierles describes how 37 Signals uses Sprinkle to configure their servers within EC2. Sprinkle defines a domain specific meta-language for describing and processing the installation of software . You can find an interesting discussion of Sprinkle's creation story by the creator himself, Marcus Crafter, in Sprinkle Some Powder! . Marcus divides provisioning tools into two categories: Task Based - the tool issues a list of commands to run on the remote system, either remotely via a network connection or smart client. Policy/state Based - the tool determines what needs to be run on the remote system by examining its current and final state. Sprinkle combines both models together in a chocolate-in-my-peanut-butter approach using normal Ruby code as the DSL (domain specific language) to declaratively describe remote system configurations. 37 Signals likes the use of Ruby as the DSL because it makes learning a separate syntax unnecessary.

Introduction: This is what Mike Peters says he can do : make your site run 10 times faster. His test bed is "half a dozen servers parsing 200,000 pages per hour over 40 IP addresses, 24 hours a day." Before optimization CPU spiked to 90% with 50 concurrent connections. After optimization each machine "was effectively handling 500 concurrent connections per second with CPU at 8% and no degradation in performance." Mike identifies six major bottlenecks: Database write access (read is cheaper) Database read access PHP, ASP, JSP and any other server side scripting Client side JavaScript Multiple/Fat Images, scripts or css files from different domains on your page Slow keep-alive client connections, clogging your available sockets Mike's solutions: Switch all database writes to offline processing Minimize number of database read access to the bare minimum. No more than two queries per page. Denormalize your database and Optimize MySQL tables Implement MemCached and cha

Introduction: Recently I had to help users on one of my opensource project ISPMan. http://ispman.net This project started in 2001 as I was too unwilling to take care of the DNS and VitualHosting stuff as it was a side-thing to the company I worked for (so i wrote a software that took care of all these little details) Summary: A large project that needs a rewrite can be done in a matter of day. I will not give you a full case study about a project that went through a re-write but a case study about how easy it is to re-write something. Details: My boss was cool enough to let me open-source the project and obviously, I got a lot of cool-cred out of it. Later on I also did some support and implementation and earned quiet some money with it. Eventually I had to let the project go out of my hand to the community as I only did it to facilitate a job that wasnt williing to do.

Introduction: This is guest post by Michael DeHaan (@laserllama), a software developer and architect, on  Ansible , a simple deployment, model-driven configuration management, and command execution framework. I owe High Scalability a great deal of credit for the idea behind my latest software project. I was reading about how an older tool I helped create, Func, was used at Tumblr , and it kicked some ideas into gear. This article is about what happened from that idea. My observation, which the article reinforced, was that many shops end up using a configuration management tool (Puppet, Chef, cfengine), a separate deployment tool (Capistrano, Fabric) and yet another separate ad-hoc task execution tool (Func, pssh, etc) because one class of tool historically hasn't been good at all three jobs. My other observation (not from the article) was that the whole "infrastructure as code" movement, while revolutionary, and definitely great for many, was probably secretly grating on a good number of

Introduction: If like many humans you've found even Paxos Made Simple a bit difficult to understand, you might enjoy RAFT as described in In Search of an Understandable Consensus Algorithm  by Stanford's Diego Ongaro and John Ousterhout. The video presentation of the paper is given by John Ousterhout . Both the paper and the video are delightfully accessible. mcherm  has a good summary of the paper: A consensus algorithm is: a cluster of servers should record a series of records ("log entries") in response to requests from clients of the cluster. (It may also take action based on those entries.) It does so in a way that guarantees that the responses seen by clients of the cluster will be consistent EVEN in the face of servers crashing in unpredictable ways (but not loosing data that was synched to disk), and networks introducing unpredictable delays or communication blockages. Here's what Raft does. First, it elects a leader, then the leader records the master version of the log, t

Introduction: Why is there something rather than nothing? That's the kind of question the Large Hadron Collider in CERN is hopefully poised to answer. And what is the output of this beautiful 17-mile long, 6 billion  dollar  wabi-sabish proton smashing machine? Data. Great heaping torrents of Grand Canyon sized data. 15 million gigabytes every year. That's 1000 times the information printed in books every year. It's so much data 10,000 scientists will use a grid of 80,000+ computers , in 300 computer centers , in 50 different countries just to help make sense of it all. How will all this data be collected, transported, stored, and analyzed? It turns out, using what amounts to sort of Internet of Particles instead of an Internet of Things. Two good articles have recently shed some electro-magnetic energy in the human visible spectrum on the IT aspects of the collider: LHC computing grid pushes petabytes of data, beats expectations  by John Timmer on Ars Technica and an overview of the Br

Introduction: It's a little known fact that Santa Clause was an early queue innovator. Faced with the problem of delivering a planet full of presents in one night, Santa, in his hacker's workshop, created a Present Distribution System using thousands of region based priority present queues for continuous delivery by the Rudolphs. Rudolphs? You didn't think there was only one Rudolph did you? Presents are delivered in parallel by a cluster of sleighs, each with redundant reindeer in a master-master configuration. Each Rudolph is a cluster leader and they coordinate work using an early and more magical version of the ZooKeeper protocol. Programmers have followed Santa's lead and you can find a message queue  in nearly every major architecture profile on HighScalability . Historically they may have been introduced after a first generation architecture needed to scale up from their two tier system into something a little more capable (asynchronicity, work dispatch, load buffering, database offloadin
