"NixOS is a Linux distribution with a unique approach to package and configuration management. Built on top of the Nix package manager, it is completely declarative, makes upgrading systems reliable, and has many other advantages."

"Zipkin is a distributed tracing system that we created to help us gather timing data for all the disparate services involved in managing a request to the Twitter API."

"Datomic is a distributed database designed to enable scalable, flexible and intelligent applications, running on next-generation cloud architectures. It does this by: Bringing declarative data manipulation into the application, and the data with it Getting time, process and perception right Process (writes) require coordination Perception (reads) require none The past doesn't change Leveraging immutability, and a sound model of state Datomic has: ACID Transactions Joins A sound data model A logical query language - Datalog Thus, Datomic avoids the compromises and losses of many NoSQL solutions. In addition, it offers flexibility and power over the traditional model in supporting: Hierarchy Multi-valued attributes Minimal schema Reliable operation on unreliable, ephemeral cloud instances Time Datomic avoids manual caching and replication, complex configuration, sharding (automatic or manual), logging, locking, latching and disk management of traditional servers."

"CFEngine is an IT infrastructure automation framework that helps engineers, system administrators and other stakeholders in an IT organization manage and understand IT infrastructure throughout its lifecycle. CFEngine takes systems from Build to Deploy, Manage and Audit."

DRBL (Diskless Remote Boot in Linux) is a solution to managing the deployment of the GNU/Linux operating system across many clients. Imagine the time required to install GNU/Linux on 40, 30, or even 10 client machines individually! DRBL allows for the configuration all of your client computers by installing just one server machine. DRBL provides a diskless or systemless environment for client machines. It works on Debian, Ubuntu, Mandriva, Red Hat, Fedora, CentOS and SuSE. DRBL uses distributed hardware resources and makes it possible for clients to fully access local hardware.

"MaestroNG, an orchestrator of Docker-based deployments. The original Maestro was developed as a single-host orchestrator for Docker-based deployments. Given the state of Docker at the time of its writing, it was a great first step towards orchestration of deployments using Docker containers as the unit of application distribution. Docker having made significant advancements since then, deployments and environments spanning across several hosts are becoming more and more common and are in the need for some orchestration. Based off ideas from the original Maestro and taking inspiration from Docker's links feature, MaestroNG makes the deployment and control of complex, multi-host environments using Docker containers possible and easy to use. Maestro of course supports declared dependencies between services and makes sure to honor those during environment bring up. MaestroNG is, for now, a command-line utility that allows for automatically managing the orchestrated deployment and bring up of a set of service instance containers that compose an environment on a set of target host machines."

"A system for distributing and managing secrets"

"OK Log is a distributed and coördination-free log management system for big ol' clusters. I built it from first principles, to teach myself the gory details of shuffling logs around. This is the story of the prototype."

Importantísimo de ver... sobre todo para diferenciar bien entre un simple publicador de recursos, estilo openshift, de un verdadero administrador de recursos distribuidos (léase scheduler), como mesos.
