2. Change the sysadmin paradigm

3. Change the sysadmin paradigm
No more old style sysadmin
Cloud is the new datacenter
Devops evolution >> Programming Systems

4. Automatization options
Puppet / Chef

8. Mico to the rescue!
Why not just programming python?

9. Mico to the rescue!
Why not just programming python?
Systems as Service

10. Mico to the rescue!
Why not just programming python?
Systems as Service
Cloud & OS as an API

11. Execution example
$ vim my_template.py
$ export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=foo
$ export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=bar
$ mico my_template args...

name = tagname,
instance_type = "t1.micro",
key_name = "root-us-east-virginia",
security_groups = [ "test" ]
)

17. Features
Cloud integrated (only AWS right now)
Use python for system deployment and configuration
Easy to extend (thinking in devops)
Stackable (templates of templates)

18. Development
Python3 :)
Add new cloud providers...
Improve os libraries
High level templates (like "install nagios", "install lamp")
Testing, testing & testing.... we are in beta :)
