Following is my grouping of tools that i have learned/used as a sysad and devops person at ThoughtWorks while maintaining our distributed infrastructure, setting up our private cloud installations, and in many different client gigs .

... created a tool which will allows their customer-facing engineers to programmatically deploy infrastructure for new customers and to update the infrastructure of existing customers through a single, defined interface. This tool uses Consul as the foundation for continuous deployment to these environments. Consul's DNS, Key-Value store, and GUI have given DeltaForce a simple mechanism for reliably delivering software.

The Shutl engineering team has been operating with a DevOps mentality for over two years. We started by rebuilding our infrastructure under Chef and embedding our operations engineers into our agile product development process. We made great progress and saw a big improvement in delivery and quality as all team members were responsible for getting things live and ensuring their long-term maintainability. But… we still had a silo. Only a few of our team were doing the lion's share of the work when it came to maintaining our infrastructure, and on-call duties were shared by just a small number of people. Over the past six months, we've changed that. So, rather than extol the virtues of this approach - there are plenty of articles doing that! - we thought we'd share some of the steps we took to make every engineer a DevOps engineer.

As a developer and sometimes system administrator, one of the scariest things I ever encounter is a server that's been running for ages which has seen multiple upgrades of system and application software.
