Devops Needs Sushi

Package

To Package, and what to package

One of the open sessions last week (corr: last month) at Devopsdays 2010 Hamburg was the one on packaging software. It’s always a big question on wether you package the software that runs in your infrastructure or not. And if you package it .. what do you package ..

The general consensus of the open space was pretty much that you always package the software you deploy, unless you have some very good reasons not to. Pretty much the way I’ve been doing for ages ..

Any pitfalls, benefits etc are welcome ..

thnx in advance !
