Tools for Distributed, Open Source Systems Administration
Elizabeth K. Joseph, HP
With members distributed all around the world across multiple companies and organizations, the OpenStack project infrastructure team manages hundreds of servers for use by the OpenStack developer community. This talk gives an overview of the open source tools and strategies we use to be an effective remote, distributed team. These tools and strategies include weekly meetings on IRC, leveraging the OpenStack code review and continuous integration system for systems changes, use of collaborative editors when completing work during maintenance windows and more.
