I've been reading http://oneops.github.io/admin/key-concepts/ to try and understand what it is. I still have zero idea...

Its a Multi-Cloud Orchestrator. It lets you abstract multiple cloud providers, so you can say use Azure, S3 , Rackspace Openstack, your own openstack and your own VMware all at the same time, and have unified management. At the moment it supports any cloud with a OpenStack endpoint/integration. Blog post: http://www.walmartlabs.com/2016/01/oneops-now-available/

I'm kinda surprised by this. My impression was that Walmart Labs had great success in deploying a pure-openstack private cloud in record time which was immense in scale. Why would they want to deploy to other clouds? https://www.openstack.org/summit/vancouver-2015/summit-video...

theories: * cloud bursting during high load * disaster recovery * putting things in geographic regions where they don't have their own hardware

Here is one:

Since Amazon is basically Walmart without brick and mortar and they make some compelling money from their AWS, why wouldn't Walmart be interested in getting in to that business?

You might want to brush up on business speak, that's the real reason for writing the vast majority of all software ever written or that will be written in this century.

The point is that it is possible to be able to pitch a technology to management without being overly opaque and sounding like a bag of buzzwords. Also, keep in mind that different industries are accustomed to different sets of terminology. Engineers at tech companies don't usually use terms such as "product delivery" and "Continuous Application Lifecycle Management." To us, "multi-cloud orchestrator" is a much cleare…

It's odd, I am an engineer at a tech company that works on the Salesforce stack so I use the phrase "product delivery" all the time and "continuous application lifecycle management" is a perfectly normal phrase to me. It's really all about different industries, even within "tech".

Because opensource cookbooks are unreliable or people should only rely on your cookbooks? Or old skool isn't new skool so it should be wholly disregarded?

open source or not, they should follow the best practices, these don't. The fact is, really old open source cookbooks have been copy pasted, with the maintainers names changed, and hacked on top of. For example, the MySQL cookbook. This is against the apache2 licence that they were originally distributed under.

Sure, maybe at a company with enough resources to throw at code quality, but this is Walmart we're talking about.

I'm not sure my brain is up to wading through the site trying to figure out what this is. Can someone break this down into it's purpose and components? Is it a code deployment system, container manager, open-stack, chef/puppet/fabric? http://oneops.github.io/admin/key-concepts/#oneops-system-ar... Side note, every-time I see an enterprise message bus, I throw up in my mouth a little.

"Accelerating product delivery in the Digital Economy through Continuous Application Lifecycle Management of Cloud-based Workload, backed by @WalmartLabs" I think you could work on that elevator pitch a little - it seems like it's been workshopped by a committee, and doesn't really tell me anything.

I don't see the problem. Obviously they are innovating through paradigm disruption.
