There are some questions about immutable serversimmutable servers, such as:
- How to implement the immutable server pattern without loosing the ability to do post-mortems?How to implement the immutable server pattern without loosing the ability to do post-mortems?
- What role do Configuration Managment tools play in immutable infrastructure?What role do Configuration Managment tools play in immutable infrastructure?
It seems obvious that it has to do with servers (that part I get). And just digesting the grammar of immutable, I would think it has something to do with "not possible to mute". If that guess is close, I'd have no clue what exactly cannot be muted (and I doubt it has to do with soundcards or something ...).
My questions:
- What is actually a "immutable servers" (in the context of DevOps)?
- Why are they used?
