Abstraction, Formalization, Standardization

Revolutionizing Linux System Engineering in Air Traffic Control with Puppet

In Air Traffic Control environments, reliable mass deployment of Linux based, mission critical applications is central to guarantee the 24/7 service that our customers expects. A lot of effort is invested to build and maintain a large number of very special purpose automatic Linux installations. Reproducibility and high quality without compromise are the main focus.

During 2010 we rethought our system engineering approach: How can we avoid doing work again and again? How can we close the gap between informal requirement documents and low-level system customization? How can we approach our tasks more efficiently with methods and concepts which are well-known in software development for many years? Why are we doing system engineering like programmers did in the eighties? Using Puppet in the story, that started with those questions, was a natural choice.
