Amin Astansh: DevOps Methodologies and Tools - How Acquia handles massive scale
Details
The Acquia Cloud is an PaaS that powers many of the world's largest websites built on the open-source Drupal project. As Acquia Cloud expanded to thousands of AWS EC2 instances, the classic tools and methods for detecting and responding to infrastructure outages within the product were unable to keep pace with the scale. This presentation describes how the Acquia Operations and Engineering teams adapted by developing ways to scale out their monitoring infrastructure, gather and aggregate instance-level metrics in parallel, and implement fixes to the platform while still meeting customer expectations in terms of response times. This will be a very interesting topic for Dev/Ops professionals who maintain a deployment of hundreds or even thousands of servers.
