But looking at this diagram, I'm pleased to see that engineering was a big part of the Obama campaign. It really hammers home how badly out of their league Romney's TechOps team was.
That's an awesome diagram and quite a few servers (but latency kills the map-overlay experience, i think a static png or svg might have been better...) Interesting that servers are are either paired autoscaling over two AZs, or statically provisioned in three AZs - or am i mis-reading the diagram? Two entire mirrors for testing and staging must have become a pretty big cost. For others outside the US confused about w…
I would guess testing is a skeleton version of the entire deployment so the cost is minimal and just need to test new deploys and verification for tests.
Staging probably wasn't a full mirror, at best I would venture to guess they had hot swaps coming up in staging and then being switched against production via ELBs.
They mention costs a few times in articles, so I would venture to guess they did optimize around many of those corners.
i guess this leaked. ;)
OFA is awesome for releasing this. Hopefully next will be some of our codes and projects.
This is really great - I'd love to have a similar diagram for data flow and components of the systems I work on. It might not benefit engineers very much but it'd be fantastic for clients or some of the less technical people in the company. I wonder how hard (I'm thinking hard?) it would be to have a tool for something like this, making the layout easy and revealing more and more information as you zoom in. Even bett…
Anyone know of a good tool to make these types of diagrams? Preferably automatically? I've been meaning to create something that plugs into Chef and or nmap/netstat. In my experience, any diagram/inventory/whatever that isn't automatically updated invariably drifts from reality.

You are materially responsible for the re-election of someone who commits large-scale crime (in the form of blatantly unconstitutional surveillance of Americans under no suspicion of criminal activity).
Please reconsider your choices. You are working for the wrong side.

Which side should he be working for that doesn't do any of that?
