back to article Masters of Puppet say: There's no magical one-size-fits-all answer to doing DevOpsery

Despite standing squarely in the path of the GitLab juggernaut, DevOps automation outfit Puppet is betting that a one-size-fits-all approach will end up fitting nobody particularly well. While the company extolled the benefits of picking the best tool for each job in the DevOps chain to the 400 attendees at the company's …

    Cannot stop the Battery...

    What are our thoughts on Master of Puppets then? Best thrash/speed (or whatever) album ever?

    It certainly is in my view.

      Best of all time is difficult - I would put it in my top 3 with Slayers Reign in Blood and Megadeth's Rust in Peace , but Megadeth has a little more raw energy and finesse across the whole album in my opinion.

      However, that may just be because I started with Anthrax/Megadeth and only found Slayer and Metallica later on.

      It's a masterpiece. Shame about everything post-Justice.

      It's a classic, of that there is no doubt. Best thrash album though. for me it's Anthrax's 'Fistful of Metal'. It was the first thrash album I had though.

        I accuse ElReg of clickbait. I didn't even read the article.

    The Takeway

    No one gives a rip about DevOps, but the Master of Puppets album art is a win.

    Oh, and don't let Metallica see that you've used the art work! Register BAD! Metallica GOOD!

      Metallica haven't been good for 30 years.

    That password

    Back in the 90s, as I've mentioned before, I wrote a keylogger program that used in college just to see if it would actually work. It did (I honestly never exploited it) and grabbed a few user names and passwords. The only one I remember to this day was, as it was the only one I used and logged in with and was amazed my program actually worked (I wasn't a good programmer).

    But not the best tool for email

    So Puppet know what they're doing? Well not so when it comes to emailing stuff.An email titled "Thank you for joining us in Portland" appears to have been sent to everyone, even those like me who never attended the event. Now, where's that unsubscribe link gone puppet master?

    "Of course there's only one way..."

    "... to do DevOps: *Our way*"

    "Which will almost certainly different than the way anybody else is doing DevOps. It doesn't matter what your current employer calls `DevOps'---the tools you're using there aren't the same as what we're using here. So we don't consider what you're doing in your current job to actually be DevOps. At least it's not close enough that we'll allow you to work here. (Damn! It's hard to find qualified IT people these days.)"
