Three apps for Sysadmins

Via an article about Flickr Architecture I discover some apps quite interesting:

  • System Imager: automates Linux installs, software distribution, and production deployment
  • Ganglia: scalable distributed monitoring system for high-performance computing systems such as clusters and Grids.
  • Subcon: allows you to store your essential system configuration files in a subversion repository and easily deploy different configurations to machines in a cluster.

I’ll comment each one on next post … by now, I’m thinking about my lack of practise in sysadmin stuff this days grrrr!
