September 8, 2016 — Jede/r, der/die Verantwortung für eine Webanwendung übernimmt sollte ein gewisses Grundverständnis von den Services haben, welche sie/er bei Hosting-Diensleistern einkauft. Zu diesem Grundverständnis beizutragen ist Ziel dieser Session.

Dies gilt insbesondere für Software, deren Aufgabe es ist, rund um die Uhr (24h pro Tag, 7 Tage die Woche) für jeden Nutzer im Internet erreichbar zu sein.
