Version Vexations: Keeping Big Linux Operations on the Same Page
By Richard Adhikari January 4, 2011 5:00 AM PT Email Article
Modern data centers with large number of Linux servers and heavy use of virtualization often don't have the tools they need to handle system version control and modeling.
"Twenty years ago, most companies had tens of servers to manage," said Erik Troan, founder and chief technology officer of rPath. "When Intel took over the data center, that grew to hundreds or maybe thousands. With virtualization increasing the number of logical systems, organizations with tens of thousands of individual systems are quite common."
That increase in scale and the ease with which virtual machines can be cloned make it critical for enterprises with large-scale Linux deployments to have version control tools.
"There is a great need for such tools," Al Hilwa, a program director at IDC, told LinuxInsider.
Not Your Gramma's System Tools
What about tools like HP OpenView and IBM's Tivoli? They seem quite adequate for managing large-scale enterprise IT infrastructures and have been used for this for years.
"When we talk about full system modeling and version control, we mean a method of specifying every piece of software installed on a machine, having a single version number associated with that set and being able to reliably move a system both forward and backwards across those versions," rPath's Troan told LinuxInsider.
"Some organizations do modeling via a Red Hat kick-start file or something, but there isn't full tooling around building the models, version controlling them or auditing them," Troan added.
Tools such as Tivoli or HP OpenView handle some aspects of these requirements, but not all, Troan said. They don't normally version sets of software, although they do let models specify a particular version of a particular set of software, he added. However, their modeling capabilities are often "rudimentary" and can't completely understand complex software dependency relationships or model the system at every level.
About RPM and Version Control
The RPM Package Manager is a command line-driven package management system that lets users install, uninstall, verify, query and update software. It's free software released under the GNU GPL and is a core component of many Linux distributions, including Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the Fedora Project, SUSE Linux Enterprise, openSUSE and Meego.
The RPM format is part of the Linux Standard Base.
Version control systems, also known as revision control systems, are repositories of files for the source code of computer programs that track every change made to the source code along with who made the change, why they made it, and notes on problems fixed or enhancements introduced by the change.
Deploying a complete modeling and version control solution for systems management saves time, ensures consistency, provides a good reporting system, lets you audit your systems, reduces risks and lets you roll back a system to a previous iteration when a new rollout causes problems, Troan pointed out.
The Wellspring of System Management Woe
When they talk about versioning, many people only think about the operating system and possibly key middleware such as the database management system, Jonathan Eunice, principal IT analyst at Illuminata, told LinuxInsider.
However, there are "tens or hundreds of other system components, libraries and services with entirely different version numbers, patch levels and update cycles," Eunice said. Keeping track of and patching all of these is a "royal mess," he added.
One of the causes of this problem is configuration management itself, Eunice suggested.
"The traditional conservative datacenter outlook is, if it ain't broke, don't fix it," Eunice said. "That is, don't update or even touch any component if you don't have to because if it's working now and you touch it, even with the best of intentions, you may break it. Then, if your key apps don't work, it's on your head."
That attitude is diametrically opposed to the modern network-connected infrastructure, where everything depends on everything else, Eunice said.
"Overall, the tension between 'We have to have the latest patches installed' and 'Leave well enough alone' means that a lot of different systems are at a lot of very different patch levels," Eunice remarked.
The Roll-Your-Own Solution
Many enterprises with large-scale Linux deployments create their own solutions for system versioning and management. Three factors contribute to this: The lack of adequate tools, tradition and the need to control costs.
"The requirement for tools exists, but many organizations have gotten accustomed to rolling their own solutions," IDC's Hilwa said. That's because there were few version control and modeling tools for Unix and Linux and so enterprises with servers running these OSes wrote and used complex shell scripts.
These enterprises continue to use those scripts. Further, many businesses running massive farms of machines such as service providers and cloud infrastructure companies rely heavily on scripts written in-house, Hilwa stated.
"This is partly to do with IT culture issues — they've always used scripts — and partly to do with costs," Hilwa elaborated. "With system costs going down and Linux being open source, big IT houses or service providers are not accustomed to spending a lot of money on management tools."

Insights - Walled Garden 2.0.
Walled Garden 2.0.
by Dr. Thomas Papanikolaou on May 22, 2013
There was a time when the mobile internet consisted of a collection of operator portals, which provided the entry to a preselected set of services consumers could access by entering the gates of a virtual garden. Competition was primarily focused on getting the consumer through the gate and keeping them within the portal, thus the term Walled Garden was born.
Then came search engines, social networks, the evolution of HTML, smartphones and mobile broadband (terribly marketed as 3G) and the carefully constructed operator garden walls started to crumble. While operators portals moved nearer to the user using technologies as on-device widgets, or by rendering pages specifically for each device, the multitude of service choices made available by new entrants made it more difficult for operators to entice consumers. The walled garden model was ultimately superseded by the open internet model and the business landscape changed forever: offering a service alone was not enough to succeed. Instead, the new business reality demanded a complete offering mapping the customer experience beyond the service provision: devices, application stores, content and partnership agreements, APIs and developer communities to bring those to life, became inseparable parts of the new Web 2.0 paradigm. The Wall Garden business model was ultimately replaced by the Ecosystem model.
But are ecosystems open by definition?
The Apple business approach is a prime example of a closed ecosystem model. Through iTunes (and its amazing content partnerships), MacOS innovations, the ground-breaking AppStore, brilliant iPod, iPhone, iPad devices, Apple created an ecosystem that 100's of millions of consumers in the world cannot live without. Being in this ecosystem is great, with one restriction: communicating with your friends who live outside the Apple ecosystem is ... not simple. Facetime to Skype Video Call? No. iMessage to Whatsapp? Sorry. One could argue, Apple's ecosystem, albeit game-changing and innovative in so many ways, is a just a bigger and shinier Walled Garden.
Google was not aware Apple was changing the world but was fast in replicating the Apple model with Android, Google Play, Google+ and so forth. True to its vision not to do evil, Google made Android free, sparking a revolution for device manufacturers. The ecosystem built around Android soon overtook Apple's ecosystem by most metrics. This dynamic exposed a previously unseen side of the ecosystem economy: where in the Walled Garden model the competition was about getting and keeping consumers into the portals, in the ecosystem paradigm the competition moved to slowing down or stopping others from building their ecosystems. Gollum-faced patent trolls emerged. Lawsuits became a business-as-usual corporate activity. Everyone against everybody.
The inability to protect innovation e.g. through legislation has been and still is a huge, cross-industry issue. While not specific to technology, the energy put into lawsuits in this sector is disproportional, resulting in a loss of focus on the user, the one who ultimately keeps the value chain alive. Today's ecosystems are more concerned about themselves than the user, and more than often users are used to fight ecosystem battles.
Here is an easy (and maybe unfair?) way to demonstrate the type of positioning that does not serve the user. This time using Google as an example. Google has always been the place to go for open APIs and capabilities for developers to create open services. Recently though, Google has been acting in a way that is confusing - to say the least - by killing off APIs it says it does not see the need to support. The list of such APIs gets longer, with the most high-profile one being XMPP (aka Jabber protocol). The new Google unified Hangouts are great, but Google discontinuing XMPP implies restrictions in openness for messaging across communities. There is no doubt that it will get more difficult to work with Google services. The Verge article Pick your poison: messaging will be fragmented, expensive, or locked-in is a very succinct summary of the issue.
Putting everything together, the move towards a world of self-contained, non-interoperable ecosystems has accelerated. Cooperation and its euphemistic synonym of coopetition is absent. It is a sad realisation that, beyond the hype, the only evolution that happened since the Walled Garden model is that the garden is now a park with more attractions, that gives a discount for consumers in return for their privacy details and the subsequent exploitation opportunity.
Looking carefully at the current moves in the industry shows that the protective walls around ecosystems are rising by the day. The good news is that this behaviour is usually an indication that the next disruption is around the corner.
The Verge: Pick your poison: messaging will be fragmented, expensive, or locked-in.

Good news: my paper "Trust-aware Collaborative Filtering for Recommender Systems" got accepted for Coopis2004.
Bad news: the conference is hyper-expensive.
So I'm looking for hyper-cheap (possibly free) hospitality in Larnaca, Cyprus, from 25 Oct to 29 Oct 2004. I checked on couchsurfing (a site where people offers ospitality in their houses and a super-cool YASN [yes, you can express your friends list]) but I found none in Cyprus.
If we take for true the six degree of separation theorem, I should be connected to everyone in Cyprus by only six degrees of separation. So I guess there should be at least some cypriots in my friends of friends set, now i only need to find one of the connecting friends. So if you know someone in Cyprus, please become my friend and close the circuit (and don't forget to write down the path from me to the cypriot host in the comments below). Thanks.

Hi, thanks seb! I tried to contact George Dafermos (distance 3 from me) as you suggested.
I came across your blog post about looking for accomodation later this month, while searching for something completely different. I live in Nicosia (30 mins from Larnaca) and have a spare room if you are still looking at options (even though you've booked a hotel room).
There is also an accomodation guide at the Cyprus Tourism Organisation website: http://www.visitcyprus.org.cy/ctoweb/webhotels.nsf/AccommodationSearch?OpenForm&Seq=1&languageNo= without all the pretty frames. Are you on orkut? Someone from there was also asking about accomodation since he's attending a conference here at the end of the month – although he claims to be going to Ayia Napa.
Also for future reference, keep in mind hospitalityclub.org – it's a similar premise to couchsurfing.com. I actually have a profile at the former, although I remember I have set my preferences so that you have to be a member to view it.

ARCHIVE PHOTO: Local resident Jack Longpre donned scuba gear to retrieve golf balls from the water hazard at the La Cañada Country Club in March 1963.
Caltrans agreed to allow the use of a utility overpass on the Foothill (210) Freeway as a pedestrian, bicycle and equestrian trail so that it could provide a link between the trail system from the Descanso Gardens area north, toward the Angeles National Forest.
Numerous instances of vehicle windows being shot out by vandals using BB guns were reported to the Crescenta Valley Sheriff's Station by La Cañada Flintridge residents.
Rain-slicked pavement was blamed when a local on-duty sheriff's deputy and a Montrose woman were both injured in a traffic collision between their two cars on Foothill Boulevard at Lasheart Drive.
La Cañadans formed a local trails council to maintain the recreational trails already in use and to develop new ones. Their organizational meeting was sponsored by the La Cañada-Flintridge Community Development Committee. The interim chairmanship was accepted by Carmita Frost.
Jack Longpre, a member of La Cañada Country Club, donned scuba gear to dive into the water hazards on the golf course and collect golf balls. It was reported that he retrieved more than 4,000 errant balls, which the club was putting to use on its new driving range.
In need of another elementary school campus due to a population boom here, the La Cañada school board in 1953 ordered the appraisal of the 9.49-acre Avery property on Palm Drive and requested that a new survey of school sites be made by the Regional Planning Commission.
