  1. Bitchin rig.

    We’re going to derploy Razor in my place of work in the next few weeks – it’d be nice to have it already up-and-running for all the new builds but alas, spending time qualifying a technology in lieu of actually doing something isn’t good for business.

    Looking forward to your thoughts on Bosh!
