Operational Impact
Linode has been providing The Onion with fast, reliable and simple hosting services that addressed the latter’s combined criteria for online hosting: simple node deployment and maintenance combined with optimum system performance and elasticity. | |
One feature that fosters simplicity is the Linode Shell (LISH), a command line interface that connects directly to a server and expedites deployments and more effective maintenance. LISH operates independently of the network, whether or not the network has experienced a connectivity (or routing) issue caused by heavy traffic or being misconfigured. | |
Complementing LISH while bridging simplicity with optimum system performance is Linode’s StackScripts, code that will automatically and immediately execute a desired command at bootstrap of a Linode. Using StackScripts, Sinchok deployed essential elements of The Onion’s software infrastructure in mere moments. | |
