Infrastructure Design Patterns with Python, Buildbot, and Linux Containers

Explore innovative infrastructure design patterns using Python, Buildbot, and Linux Containers in this 28-minute EuroPython 2017 conference talk. Learn how to repurpose Buildbot, typically known as a continuous integration framework, to address enterprise-level infrastructure challenges. Discover techniques for implementing license management, resource allocation, load balancing, and application deployment using Python, native Buildbot components, and Linux Containers like Docker and ClearContainers. Gain insights into configuring Buildbot for non-CI implementations and leveraging its framework components for future infrastructure needs. The talk covers various examples, including launching apps with change-ports, setting up multi-masters, implementing company-wide server application deployment, creating a floating license server, establishing a tiered compute server Linux Session Handler, and configuring a Machine Learning Server.
