Re: Re: cost estimate for a GUI pilot

Hi Nathan,

If you look further down in the ycombinator thread you will see Jon
responded/clarified. Here is the direct link:

But how does all this relate to IBM i applications?

Seamless, automated, frequent deployments. Or maybe I misunderstand what
you are getting at.

On final note, Amazon.com deploys every 11.6 seconds.

Aaron, I reviewed the youtube video from the link you provided where Jon
Jenkins from Amazon cites "deployments" every 11.6 seconds. It appears that
he was using a play on words, which was confusing.

I had to listen to the presentation a couple times to get a clearer
picture. Jon works for Amazon's retail web site where people buy Android
phones (for example). It appears that he was talking about deploying
changes to the web site, which may have included content changes in
addition to the roll-out of application changes.

On the same slide, Jon indicated that a mean of 10K and a max of 30K hosts
were receiving "deployments" in a given hour. So it appears that Jon used
the word "deployment" to refer to "replications" across Amazon's server
farm (Jon called it a fleet), which includes tens of thousands of IP
addresses.

It appears that you meant "deployments" in the sense of people moving new
code to a server - not in the sense of replicating code across fleets of
servers.

But how does all this relate to IBM i applications?

Nathan.
