Finding Truth in Legacy Systems
Daniel Cordes, Portware
Systems can go sour even when from day one we try to hew to the best practices of server and configuration management. But it can seem a lost cause to make that effort in inherited legacy environments that no one truly understands. This talk focuses on sorting out those different "truths" we need to discover to refactor such legacy systems, as we do legacy codebases, to become more reliable and perspicuous, and on how making that happen means acting as archaeologist, architect, and politician.
