We do what we must because we can...

I've been hella busy lately working on a large automation push for server deployment. I'm hoping to go over some details in the upcoming weeks, but in the meanwhile, I found an interesting site FlowGrab for sharing vCO workflows/packages. At this point, there's not a whole lot of available downloads (around 40-ish), but it seems like it could be a great place to go and get ideas for how to solve some common problems.

Other things on my plate? I'm looking forward to a new idea... a converged self-growing/shrinking cluster leveraging Chef/Puppet, vCO, AMQ, and possibly vShield Edge for load balancing. I'm not 100% sure how far I will be able to get, but I'm setting a goal to get something together by end of 2nd quarter 2015.
