Rules on Infrastructure

Rules

On Infrastructure

  • There is one system, not a collection of systems.
  • The desired state of the system should be a known quantity.
  • The "known quantity" must be machine parseable.
  • The actual state of the system must self-correct to the desired state.
  • The only authoritative source for the actual state of the system is the system.
