I did a quick smoke test to see if Tutum passes muster. My smoke test for this kind of tool is if they have a solution for deploying mongodb as a production level service with sharding or at the very least replica sets. Like so many other “let’s do the easy part and stop there” companies, they have a template for starting a single development mongodb node that would be easy enough to do myself. I want a tool that has a repository of templates for making formations of very hard things easy. Openshift is at least working on it: https://github.com/openshift/mongodb Their replica set version is not able to persist data permanently until Kubernetes figures out how to attach separate persistent volumes to pods in the same service. Unfortunately, Amazon is again the only game in town that does exactly what I want: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aw

> Lisp is not and has never been the right tool for configuration management. Why not? Configurations are collections of items, and among the things Lisp excels at is…lists of atoms. Take a look at https://github.com/ansible/ansible-examples/tree/master/lamp... (a simple LAMP stack implemented in Ansible). It uses a .ini-style file to manage lists of hosts, e.g.: [webservers] localhost [dbservers] bensible sensible Why not put that in a list? (hosts (webservers localhost) (dbservers bensible sensible)) The Ansible playbooks are YAML lists. There's no particular reason that: --- # This playbook deploys the whole application stack in this site - name: apply common configuration to all nodes hosts: all remote_user: root roles: - common … is more readable

than: (playbook "This playbook deploys the whole application stack in this site" (play "apply common configuration to all nodes" (hosts all) (remote-user root) (roles common) …) or: (playbook '((all '(common) :user root :comment "apply common configuration to all nodes") …) :comment "This playbook deploys the whole application stack in this site") In fact, I'd argue that both Lispy representations are much more readable.
