Getting New Hardware Ready to Go
This afternoon I've been working with a co-worker to get all the new hardware up and going in our own datacenter so that we can move our application from Amazon's EC2 to our own, more reliable, machines. It's a bit of a hassle in that there are now 22 new machines to rebuild, and the folks doing it aren't paying really close attention to the machine names and set-ups, so there have been a lot of re-dos, but it's getting there.
We should be able to get all the critical machines up and going before I have to leave today, and then I can get started on moving the apps in the morning.
Exciting times to be getting out of EC2, and onto far far better hardware. I'm just hoping that it's going to clear up the issues we've been having with Couch. Now that would be really nice!
