Evolution of Unix environments and the road to faster deployments
summary
Chronicles how Unix goes from expensive shared hardware to VM then containers, cites 38% of AWS instances classified as “small”, argues immutable builds and containers shave months to minutes from provisioning, describes building 1000+ automated tests and 2000 visual-regression checks, and reports a service moving from 2–3 releases per quarter to about 30 in months while seeing ~50% test failure rate during rapid rollout — tooling and org changes enable the gains.
