1987 911 Coupe: White W/ Black Interior
Offering my 1987 Porsche 911 Carrera coupe, originally delivered to Essex Sports Cars Inc. In Maplewood, New Jersey. Motor and sold to the first owner on April 24, 1987. This 911 has original grand prix white (P5P5) paint over a black leather/leatherette (LT) interior. A Porsche inspection was performed in 2018 at Porsche North Houston with no issues. This was a free inspection as it was the grand opening of their 聯vintage聰 service and no certificate was offered. PPI is encouraged to be performed at this location due to its facilities and professionalism. The car is sold as is with a clear Texas title. Body - All body panels are original and retain factory serial number tags. This 911 is garaged when not in use throughout my ownership. Additional factory installed items are as follows; fog lights, and power-adjustable seats. The interior is factory in partial leather and leatherette with an aftermarket Momo Prototipo steering wheel in black.
The original steering wheel is included in the sale. Original carpet looks good and has been covered with aftermarket mats. Accessories and controls include the air conditioning system, automatic heat control, central locking, seat switches, power windows, and sunroof. AC has been replumbed with new barrier hoses, new dryer, condenser and compressor and now runs the new R-134a refrigerant. Clifford alarm system was installed at one point but removed prior to my ownership. No wires remain and the only item that remains is the red dot light to cover the hole in the dash. All four brake calipers refurbished by PMB and installed with new pads, hardware and stainless steel brake lines. Parking brake pads in the rear were also installed at this time as well as extended studs to accommodate 1聰 wheel spacers. Turbo tie rod ends installed along with front wheel bearings during my ownership. Engine oil replaced within the last year with genuine Porsche Classic 10W-60 Synthetic oil. Spark plugs, cap, rotor and filters replaced at this time as well as a valve adjustment. The 6-digit odometer shows 109866 miles as of June 10, 2019. Both the exterior and interior bulbs have been replaced with LEDs. The original Blaupunkt Reno radio has been replaced with a Blaupunkt Rio de Janerio 120BT head unit. This radio offers blue tooth connectivity and hands-free phone operation. I do not have the original radio. Previous maintenance records in my position. A new clutch at 81640 along with pressure plate, throw-out bearing, rear seal. Tool kit, collapsible spare tire, and jack are included in the sale along with a stamped dealer maintenance booklet (stamped up to 32495 after 2 years in operation), original manuals, two standard keys, and one valet key. 54,000.

As you can see here, we have a new release that goes through testing, build and validation to create a new image. That image is stored in our image store. Then, whenever we need to deploy we start a new cluster, move the traffic over to the new cluster, and as soon as everything works fine, we shut down the old machines. There is no in-place update happening. They are really completely new machines. As machines can vanish anytime, data is effectively soloed into specific parts of your infrastructure. There are no gaurantees that data that is stored in one of the application clusters is available the next minute. Effective siloing is important, in order to not have state creep into different parts of your infrastructure where it then becomes hard to replace this part of the system. Deployment and rollback are essentially the same operation which makes handling bad deployments trivial. You simply start a new cluster with the old image and everything is rolled back. But what are the problems now, with running this kind of small service infrastructure that gets deployed constantly?
We need to have proper overview and operations in place to be able to determine the current state of the system. Otherwise, due to it鈥檚 fast changing nature, we won鈥檛 be able to cope with that kind of system at all. This brings me to my next and last suggestions, unified logging, monitoring, and alerting. There needs to be one source of truth for logging and monitoring of all of your applications. Every piece of data that helps paint that picture needs to be fed into the same system, so you can correlate problems between parts of your infrastructure. In a system that changes constantly, the server that caused a problem might not even be around any more. Logs are an extremely effective, but also an extremely underused tool to understand and monitor our infrastructure. Modern log services let us pump constant data about the status and operations of our infrastructure into a queryable service without us having to build any of that.
