Immutable Infrastructure With Netflix OSS

Immutable Infrastructure With Netflix OSS

About the Book

*** UPDATE 2016-03-25 ***

Asgard was a core focus in the original text and has since officially entered maintenance status with the Netflix OSS team. This text is receiving an overhaul and moving to a Spinnaker-focused implementation.

This book gives concrete examples for transtitioning to (or building) immutable infrastructure with the help of Netflix Open Source Software. You will learn about core software available from Netflix OSS, basic configurations, and how to quickly get up and running in AWS using these tools.

  8. Atlas - Deployment and general monitoring with Atlas
  9. Simian Army - Useful Simians for your infrastructure
  10. Additional projects and next steps - Netflix OSS solutions that are beyond the scope of this text, but very much worth your investigation
