Need Efficiency & Control?

one server

host (2) Dev, Test, Production environments

maximize sharing, minimize redundancy

prevent misconfig, grant least privilege

guarantee max. resources for Productions

maximize efficiency & consistency btw. envs.

recover quickly from failed deployments

RBAC

Grant users the privileges they need

Process Rights Management

Run with least privileges

E.g., not root, nosuid, noexec

“ DTrace is one of those tools that makes you wonder how you did anything without it before you'd heard of it. Why is it better than strace and similar tools? It's non-invasive, fast, scriptable and extensible.” - Wez Furlong Find Hampster Wheels with DTrace Dtrace provider for PHP

Performance Tuning Which functions are being called by Drupal? # dtrace -n function-entry'{printf("called %s() in %s at line %d ",copyinstr(arg0), copyinstr(arg1), arg2)}' -q How many times is a function called? # dtrace -n function-entry'{@[copyinstr(arg0)] = count()}' What's the file name and line number count: # dtrace -n function-entry'{@[copyinstr(arg1)] = lquantize(arg2, 0, 5000)}' Dtrace provider for PHP
