Apart from a sentence at the end, there's no mention at all of culture and people which is really the key to doing DevOps. You can use all of the tools mentioned but still encounter the same problems as a traditional ops setup if you don't get the teams working together.
I'm probably not the only one who noticed, but the second screenshot (for the Graphite stats) is almost certainly from an ExtJS app. Is there an open source equivalent of ExtJS? The pricing seems to have gone up quite a bit from the last time I check a year or so ago. I'd bet it's still a good value for the money, but options are nice to have.
If you're interested in this stuff, there is a "Camp DevOps" in Chicago next month.<p><a href="http://campdevops.com/" rel="nofollow">http://campdevops.com/</a><p>Involves some of the same folks who put on the excellent Erlang Camp I attended last year, on the basis of that experience, I'd expect this to be a good value.
Speaking of deployment, anyone has a good suggestion for a simple deploying system in AWS? Ideally a generic EC2 instance is booted up with an apptype passed in, and based on the apptype it downloads the app code from S3 and starts up the app. The code is pushed to S3 by dev when it's ready. Is there such a system?
