…the »old world« software developer…
…the »old world« system administrator…
So – let's swap roles. (Can't be that hard, no?)

$$('I'){ $('will#wrap').each(function('until'){ return this.self._self.that['crap'].works; }); };;;; // eat ._this, jslint!

Releases.
Imagine… …it's friday.
Your deployment plan… …doesn't scale very well.

tools / domain class? Who understands your deployment process?

Why not… deploy as often as possible? let the new
employee deploy on her first day? deploy when nobody is watching?
2015 Infrastructure code is code as well!
Are your problems bubbling up… …from app code? …from your
server configuration? …during rollout? …because of poor orchestration?

No more excuses. Infrastructure problem? File an issue Infrastructure change?
Hand in a story App Changes need infrastructure changes? Orchestrate your rollouts.
No commit without an issue id / feature branch. No
major release without documentation in an issue.
Do code reviews. Yes. for infrastructure. Yes. Even for infrastructure.

Well, turns out there is.
Documentation (imagine rolling thunder)
CLI > Code > Wiki $ bin/deploy --wat?
Actually use your Wiki! New employees? Old hostnames? Cross references!
Macros? Copy / Paste commands?
Your toolchain? in version control useful names well documented self-explanatory
independent from the environment
Use some nice wrapping.
#!/bin/(da|ba)sh #nope
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
--Chet Ramey “ ... there are dark corners in the
Bourne shell, and people use all of them. ”
Build for the worst. Do your error pages cover every
layer? Will every layer fail gracefully? Can you roll back? Should you roll back? Can you deactivate features? Can you afford to deliver stale content?

Updating artefacts isn't the last step!
Monitor every deployment. Gather health checks.
Steal good ideas! $ curl -XGET 'lolcathost:9200/_cluster/health?pretty=true' { "cluster_name" :
"prism_europe", "status" : "green", "timed_out" : false, "number_of_nodes" : 242, "number_of_data_nerds" : 242 "active_primary_shards" : 50, "active_shards" : 100, "people_actually_reading_this_slide": 1, "relocating_shards" : 0, "initializing_shards" : 0 }
Use obvious tools. var casper = require('casper').create(); var baseurl =
casper.cli.get("baseurl") || 'http://bascht.com'; casper.start(baseurl, function() { this.capture('shots/homepage.png'); this.test.assertTitle('bascht.com'); this.test.assertExists('input[action$="/search"]', 'Yay!'); this.clickLabel('Blog', 'a'); });

See how things work out. # ~/.bash_login rm ~/.bash_history &&
