a peek on youtube’s infrastructure

I need not give an introduction about what Youtube is., but I’d certainly like to share the behind the scenes footage of Youtube.

Cuong Do, an early engineer of the site’s Core Product Engineering group tells all about Youtube’s infrastructure.

They use the nicest ( not the best ) of all the Open Source Components like Apache/Lighttpd, MySQL, Python, etc.,

Interesting video though.,

executing remote commands over SSH using Python

Nowadays, I’m using python as my primary dev. language.

Python is really cool and has many many features which makes me wish, I knew it earlier.

Now, this code snippet shows you to execute remote commands over SSH using Python. It uses the Paramiko SSH library for python.

Python Rocks !!!
