Automated deployment
Whatever provider is used, I recommend starting with an automated deployment from the beginning. It's a lot easier than incorporating it later and you'll thank me when you grow. Puppet is easier to work with unless you are already familiar with Chef. --Dean1012 (talk) 20:17, 20 February 2014 (MST)
- I don't disagree. New infrastructure will be rolled out with tools, not by hand. That's part of the reason why the Management servers are in there. I'm a big fan of Puppet and Ansible myself Zford (talk) 21:31, 20 February 2014 (MST)
https service
Hi, any plans to add https/SSL ? sidd
- HTTPS SSL is in the design from a system's perspective, however but there are some outstanding issues with HTTPS in slashcode. You can go to https://soylentnews.org right now to see for yourself. Zford (talk) 15:22, 21 February 2014 (MST)
