Abstract:
Immutable infrastructure, a deployment and operations strategy inspired by the programming concept of immutability, is more than just another technology option. It also provides a completely different way of thinking about application and service delivery. In this report, Josh Stella, co-founder and CEO of Fugue, explains that embracing immutability means giving up the data center mindset, which focuses on individual machine uptime and maintenance, for a more flexible approach using API-driven infrastructure-as-code. Stella describes the advantages of working with immutable infrastructure-particularly automated instance replacement and autoscaling-and provides a look at current implementations in the marketplace. You'll also learn best practices for integrating immutable patterns into your workflow. Learn how immutable infrastructure treats all aspects of your system as quanta that can be built, replaced, and destroyed Understand why traditional data center management techniques struggle in distributed, scaled environments Explore current use cases for implementing immutable patterns through customized toolchains Learn fundamental patterns and practices for achieving immutability with cloud resources Examine a unified approach to immutability with the Fugue operating system Josha Stella is co-founder and CEO of Fugue, the company that's creating an operating system for the cloud. Before Fugue, Josh was a Principal Solutions Architect at Amazon Web Services, served as a CTO for a startup, and held several other technical and leadership roles over the past 25 years.
