Comment on The Day Elon Musk Decided to Rip Servers Out of a Data Center

Comments

Question: if one day truckloads of servers suddenly arrive at your workplace from another data center (they were not gracefully shutdown) and you're told to bring them online asap, what are the steps you'll do to bring them online again and make sure all applications running on those servers start again? Not sure how many servers in those trucks, but the old data center contract was $100MM/year. How long it'll take you to do it? Your team is also recently hit with a terrible round of layoff, leaving only a skeleton crew.

Plug them in, turn them on, see what happens. :')
