[irq]: techie interrupted

As I sat and played with the CMS and tweaked the IronFoundry service here and there, the magnitude of where this is going and will eventually end up began to dawn on me. Here was I, ostensibly a boring infrastructure guy, actually doing application devops stuff. Wow. Devops. Yeah.

Yet perhaps the most chin-stroking moment I had was the fact that I was using a CMS, from a Microsoft sponsored open source repository, written using .NET on an open source service that is provided by a partner of their rapidly growing nemesis. And guess what ? If I choose to, I could take this same application and run it inside my own data center, in exactly the same way……just not on a platform or service that Microsoft themselves could provide.
