Автоматизация балансировщиков давно выглядит логичным следующим шагом для инфраструктурных команд. Но на практике ADC по-прежнему остаются зоной ручных изменений, согласований через тикеты и осторожных ночных окон. Поэтому мы решили не ждать идеального кейса, а самостоятельно спроектировать и протестировать возможности автоматизации ADC в лабораторном контуре. Наша задача была достаточно прагматичной: понять, можно ли сократить время доставки конфигураций до минут, сохранив при этом контроль изменений, ауди Read more
