I've been thrust into the world of DevOps bit by bit as my Drupal exposure has increased over the years. I'm finding myself dealing with a broader set of tools to move Drupal work from concept to production. I'm currently in a position where I'm helping define everything from the workflows and SCM strategies to allow large teams to work efficiently to integrating these strategies with continuos integration and automated testing practices. I now have to push code to large web, bot, and email farms while maintaining systems for deployment and rollback. This has introduced to a multitude of tools including puppet, jenkins, seige, apache bench, the drush_deploy module, bash scripting, python scripting and ruby scripting. I'm starting this group in the hopes that it appeals to people facing similar challenges!

I need help
I had my site crash and I need some one to take a back up copy of the site and restore the site. I will then hire you to update the entire site if it works out. I need some one today. The site is www.aviewofamerica.com you may call me at 509-594-9778. You must be able to speak English so I can understand you.
Thanks
Thanks for creating this group. I come from Prod-Ops myself and now develop Drupal websites with a few other people so this subject is of interest to me.
Great!
Thanks also for creating this group, I'm facing similar challenges since some time ago running a large infrastructure for media websites, so this subject is of course quite interesting for me too.
