7:25 - Panel: From Pets to Serverless

A discussion of several approaches to deploying "machines", along a loose continuum.

• Carefully manually managed machines ("pets")

• Machines that are long-lived but managed by config management tools like Chef, Ansible, etc.

• Immutable machines: each change results in replacement

• Containers build using CM tools and deployed manually

• Container fleet management, such as Kubernetes; or baked-image autoscaling in AWS

• Functional computing / "Serverless"

What are the advantages of moving between these approaches? What are the prerequisites and costs? Are some approaches better suited, depending on greenfield or brownfield status?
