# 10 # Talk with the Experts. New Features: Machine Tags Tags are a useful way of attaching useful metadata to Servers Tool support to add, remove and query server tags Three main parts: namespace, predicate and value Syntax: namespace:predicate=value Example: loadbalancer:www=lb (a load balancer server for the 'www' vhost)

# 11 # Talk with the Experts. New Features: Remote Script Invocation Invoked by one server, run on another Uses tags for routing Scoped to the current deployment (or account) Example: rs_run_right_script --name "LB Attach App Server" -- recipient_tags "loadbalancer:www=lb" --json ~/my_info.json

# 12 # Talk with the Experts. New Features: Storage Toolbox It's all about persistence! Primary Backup Uses local cloud persistence Volumes snapshots preferred (i.e. EBS, Volumes) Secondary Backup Uses remote cloud for redundancy Useful in case of local cloud outage LVM snapshot uploads to a Remote Object Store (i.e. S3, CloudFiles) Built on our battle tested EBS Toolset

# 13 # Talk with the Experts. New Features: Storage Toolbox (cont.)

# 14 # Talk with the Experts. New Features: Built-in Chef Support System Configuration Language High Level, modular components Idempotent (potential for) External Source Control Management Easier to customize (modules, pull requests) Large pool of reusable content, community Chef Language != Chef Platform Now supporting Chef v

# 15 # Talk with the Experts. Recipes sys_firewall::default sys_firewall::setup_rule sys_firewall::do_list_rules Resource sys_firewall actions – update – update_request New Features: Built-in Firewall Support

# 16 # Talk with the Experts. New Features: Update Action To open a local port to all servers with a given tag use: sys_firewall "Open 3306 to all appservers" do machine_tag "appserver:active=true" port 3306 enable true action :update end This can be useful as a server is booting to open up access for multiple systems at once.

# 17 # Talk with the Experts. New Features: Update Request Action To request all servers with a given tag close a port to a given IP address use: sys_firewall "Request all close port 8000" do machine_tag "loadbalancer:www=app" port 8000 enable false ip_addr node[:cloud][:private_ips][0] action :update_request end This can be useful when decommissioning a running server that had previously requested ports opened.

# 18 # Talk with the Experts. New Features: Others Multiple Block Devices Load balancer supports multiple vhost pools Application Servers code download options Application Servers load balance options Support for multiple DNS providers Alert for “seconds behind master” EC2 EBS Stop/Start support
