Radical Ideas Enterprises Can Learn From The Cloud
summary
Argues enterprises get reliability by software not expensive hardware: Google moves error handling into software and buys factory-reject RAM for pennies, Dropbox uses many cheap nodes, and a site uses ten front-end machines behind load balancers rather than one beefy server. Recommends running risky procedures frequently — a failover that first takes 10 hours with 30 bugs becomes 1 hour after repeated drills — and deliberately rebooting hosts with tools like chaos monkey. Uses blameless postmortems and measurable SLAs.
