Tell my managers.... I have been in the defence industry, but not at the moment.
We supply e-learning to customers who need/expect to access it more or less 24/7 - they work shifts. Taking the system down for an entire hour, without warning, would not be acceptable. Five minutes once a week, yes, but any more would be for a big upgrade, not just regular maintenance. Still, if a big upgrade is what we're talking about, then we inform them, give them a weeks notice, and take it down for the day. I'm not doing go-live and full testing in my sleep. ----- Original Message ---- From: Michael Grant <[email protected]> To: cf-talk <[email protected]> Sent: Wed, 23 February, 2011 14:45:15 Subject: Re: Feedback on this approach to "many sites, one codebase" (MSOC) Really.
