ONLINE Enhance Site Reliability With HAProxy

RSVP on Meetup

Details

Site Reliability Engineers will love this.

First, we'll setup four nodes, two HAProxys and two HTTP servers.
Then, we'll configure SSL off-loading and an HTTP to HTTPS redirect.
Then, we'll stop any single node.
Then, we'll stop all the nodes in a region.
Then, we'll put up a maintenance gate. (That's where we push a partially-tested change into production, and allow the QA engineers to complete testing, while everyone else gets a maintenance page.)
Finally, we'll remove the source filter so the site runs normally.

If this all goes as planned, we will celebrate joyously.

What We're About

The Software Freedom School exists to teach the world how to use and why to choose free software.

David L. Willson and Heather L. Willson started SFS in 2013 to help teach the world free software and to feed the whole student, mind (techie classes), body (delicious food), and spirit (libre software). We host Software Freedom First Saturday at the SFS HQ or Englewood Public Library: From 11am - 3pm you can learn about free software.

There are other events throughout the month and activities you can become involved in: Linux Camp and Study Groups to name a couple.

Our ideal members, via Meetup, are people, just like you, looking to learn more about freedom in the software community. It could be a new graduate, a person looking to change careers, someone who is super savvy but has been using the proprietary software for too long!

We are a community based company in the Denver area. We want to partner with hacker-spaces, maker-spaces, LUG's, small businesses, entrepreneurs, and small, free schools like us. Our goal is to teach the world how to use and why to choose free software and it would be wonderful if you joined us!

We look forward to meeting you and are excited for you to be part of the libre community!
