Fedora for short-lifespan server instances<\/a><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s come back to the odd fact that Fedora is both a precursor to RHEL, and yet almost never used in production as a server OS. I think this is going to change. In a world where instances are deployed constantly, instances are born and die but the herd lives on. Once everyone has their infrastructure encoded into a configuration management system, Fedora\u2019s short release cycle becomes much less of a burden. If I have service foo deployed on a Fedora X instance, I willnever<\/em>\u00a0be upgrading that instance. Instead I\u2019ll be provisioning a new Fedora X+1 instance to run the foo service, start it, and throw the old instance in the proverbial bitbucket once the new one works.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
