AVERAGES ARE FOR THE AVERAGE
11. • The unit of re-use is the unit of release
• Effective re-use requires tracking release
• The unit of release should be the unit of fail
ACID as applied to deployment, not just data:
Improve velocity. Improve quality. Both.
DEVOPS:REUSE EQUIVALENCY PRINCIPLE
Stochastic testing. Stochastic deployment.
Intersection of Media and Technology – and why technology is increasingly central to the business.
More on scale of Comcast in general .
IPv4 Address management scale.
The reason technology is becoming so central is that EXPERIENCE is becoming central.

50 percent was once the industry-standard benchmark for database responsiveness. Meaning that 50 percent of your interactions were happening below your target threshold. If you think about an organization of Comcast’s scale, that’s potentially 13 million customers who aren’t getting optimal performance out of database-dependent consumer technologies. That’s obviously completely unacceptable. So what about 90 percent? Still pretty bad. 99 percent? Nope. We benchmark 99.9 and better, and our team is constantly looking to find the next 9.

Traffic shaping is a core primitive.
Brewer’s theorem has implications for system design. Devops is the recognition that a component, a system, is not just code – its code plus environment.
And your system has a state.
High performance requires a tolerance for reinvention.

Excellence is not a skill – it’s an attitude.
