Then use puppet or chef to bring the server to a known configuration. This makes dealing with production vs testing environments much easier too as it's simple to insure that they are identical and repeatable. This approach also avoids any issues where a server was just discovered to have been hacked but when it was hacked is unclear. Rather than spending time trying to find your last clean image you can just fire up a clean install quickly and consistently. -- David _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
