Comments

Overall spot on for the things that people need to pay attention to to make their services available and reliable Presentation could have been a little smother as Artur tends to jump from example to some data to a tool to something else. He could have been more coherent for people who didn't have a lot of ops background here (most of the audience it seems).

 

This was a good session, always nice to hear that sometimes people are having a worse time of it that I am! Thanks for the tips on Ganglia and Puppet, I'll be looking in to these.

 

Got in here my mistake - did't realize it would be so operations focused. Managed to get to another session before too much time expired.

 

This did not match the session description. I second the previous comment in saying this was much too tactical a discussion.

 

I also didn't realize it was operations focused and ended up leaving early to catch another session.

 

Thanks for the reviews.

Due to Jesse being sick I had to rejig the slide deck at the last moment. Sorry about that :(
