‣ Chef, Puppet, Etc.
‣ Chef Cookbook is Advanced
‣ “Auto” Joining Nodes to a Cluster
(ringready)
‣ Node vs IP Naming (vm.args -name)

32. EC2 and EBS
‣ Follow DB Best Practices
‣ To EBS or Not to EBS?
‣ Raid0 is Faster, but an OPS Headache
‣ Speed vs Fault Tolerance (Availability Zones)
‣ Specific Tweaks for EC2 (net_ticktime)
‣ There are MANY successful deployments.
