Coding Your Business in the Cloud – Insights from Message Bus and PagerDuty

Continuing our series of #ChefTalks customer videos about the journey to becoming a coded business, this morning we published two more videos to Opscode’s YouTube Channel. Featuring a couple notable technology innovators – Message Bus and PagerDuty – the videos detail varied, unique approaches to leveraging the cloud and Opscode Chef to build more agile, more responsive, more efficient businesses. Coded Businesses.

First is Jeremy LaTrasse, CEO of Message Bus, detailing how his cloud-based message service uses Chef to manage infrastructure spread across multiple public clouds, using each provider for what it’s best at and reducing risk of failure. Jeremy commented: 

“We started focusing on automation early in our company lifecycle so we could stop doing all the menial tasks by hand. It frees us from the role of day laborer and turns us into more of a foreman or architect role.

Next, Doug Barth, operations engineer at PagerDuty, discusses how the company’s entire business runs on code, with Chef playing an instrumental role in ensuring operations success. Doug noted:

“Without Chef, tasks like configuring firewalls for machines whose network topology is out of our control would be impossible.”
