Mike Jang - Ignite OSCON 2014
summary
A tech writer takes over an office lab with 32 cores across two servers, 256 GB RAM and a hardware load balancer and finds zero documentation. A beta tester forces realistic installs and an early outage reveals the UPS was unplugged after a power pole hit, prompting full restore tests. Procedures and a tested backup make VM self-service viable, exposing that running a lab is high risk high reward but lets developers and QA actually stress real systems.
