DevOps at scale
summary
Advice: plan for failure and automate the responses. Use AWS OpsWorks and EC2 APIs to measure key metrics and gate rollouts via onebox deployment before wider release. Rotate capacity continuously — replace every server once a day — and run simulated faults like Chaos Monkey so restores and autoscaling are exercised. Quantify impact (latency, CPU, orders/sec), compare instance types automatically, and only promote changes when metrics stay within acceptable bounds.
