Managing Large Scale Cloud Infrastructure at Rackspace
LISA: Where systems engineering and operations professionals share real-world knowledge about designing, building, and maintaining the critical systems of our interconnected world.
The LISA conference has long served as the annual vendor-neutral meeting place for the wider system administration community. The LISA14 program recognized the overlap and differences between traditional and modern IT operations and engineering, and developed a highly-curated program around 5 key topics: Systems Engineering, Security, Culture, DevOps, and Monitoring/Metrics. The program included 22 half- and full-day training sessions; 10 workshops; and a conference program consisting of 50 invited talks, panels, refereed paper presentations, and mini-tutorials.

The Rackspace Public Cloud is a large, complex infrastructure. This talk will take a tour of what this infrastructure looks like, how we manage it, how we deploy to it, and the challenges we've faced—from config management choices to orchestration choices, continuous integration/delivery, hot patching, and beyond.
