(disclaimer: I'm one of the Libcloud developers) I want to add some context to this. Our current abstraction provides a relatively simple API which is guaranteed to work across mul…

It shows how easy it easy to write your own function because all you need to do to send an email is perform a single HTTP request.

Project Awesome is an HTTP proxy which means it's even a higher abstraction than a Ruby library :) In any case, you should have a look at Libcloud ( http://libcloud.apache.org/ ), …

Disclaimer: I'm author of the blog post. The title might be a bit misleading, but a first commit to Whiskey was actually made about a year ago ( https://github.com/cloudkick/whiske…

Just FYI, apache mod_proxy_balancer also supports HTTP 1.1 and you can configure it during run-time if you have mod_status enabled.

Any special reason why you haven't used something like libcloud (deploy_node ...) - http://libcloud.apache.org/ ? Then the script would work with multiple providers, not just Amazo…

We actually do have an install script. It is not the best one, but you should be good to go in a few simple steps: 1. downloading a tarball 2. unpacking it 3. running "scons instal…

Nothing new here. Node wasn't ever really meant to be used for CPU intensive tasks - especially the ones like this which you can fairly easy parallelize.

Awesome book (+ pretty pictures). I have read it online about a year ago, but I still ordered my copy from Amazon.

It "kinda" supports LAN sync. Files still first need to be transfered to the cloud first before you can sync them over LAN. At least it was like this the last time I have looked at…

Nice to see a new release, but there is still no official support for a parallel execution :( There are some forks with a parallel support, but all of the ones which I have tried a…

Yeah, YubiKeys are great. I have been using mine for about a year now and I also use a YubiKey PAM module to log in into my Ubuntu workstation. If you search google a bit I am pret…

Yeah, I was thinking about doing a similar thing here at Cloudkick. Currently, our test suite is not that large and it takes around 6-8 minutes to complete, but with testing every …
