Well after getting func all setup and running sweetly, we are wondering
how we managed without it now!
We manage a very large farm of instances running in a variety of cloud
providers (Amazon, GoGrid, Flexiscale) to power some of the largest
premimum european publishers. Func has simplified the process of keep
the housekeeping chores all running and ensuring that all instances are
kept up to date and monitoring their logs.
The biggest WOW factor for us has been the ability to group instances.
So we can run say a given command to all the "web-servers" and we don't
even have to know what instances are running or not. If its alive then
it will be run. Func's registration process makes that a breeze and
ideally suited towards cloud environments.
We've simplified security (no SSH required to each machine now) and
we've also made the func process part of the images we burn and provision.
I will be talking about func in an upcoming cloud talk i am giving in
San Jose, illustrating that sometimes the simplest of tools can yield
the most power.
but i am a huge supporter of it now.
