Also on the AWS side, I set up a lifecycle rule to archive the backups to Glacier after 7 days.
-I did run into some issues getting the backups to work together with `powernap`_, which is configured to put the system to sleep after a few minutes of keyboard inactivity.
+I did run into some issues getting the backups to work together with `powernap`_, which was configured to put the system to sleep after a few minutes of inactivity.
-Powernap was causing a problem on two fronts. First, the system was going to sleep mid-backup since full backups take longer than the powernap inactivity timeout. The other problem was the backup was scheduled for the middle of the night when the system would normally already be asleep.

To get around the mid-backup sleep issue, I made a /usr/local/bin/duply-nightly script which shuts down powernap before calling duply and restarted it afterwards.
-In order to get around the system-already-asleep issue, I'm using `an RTC wakeup`_, in /usr/local/bin/duply-nightly to set the system to wake a few minutes before the cron job kicks off (but not early enough for powernap to put the system to bed again...)

+The first night I ran the backup, I had to prime the /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakalarm time manually, but since then the script has
+set the wakeup time for the next day
The final /usr/local/bin/duply-nightly script is below
#!/bin/sh +x
- /usr/bin/logger "Running nightly backup from $0
+ /usr/bin/logger "Running nightly backup from $0"
# Disable powernap during the backup
service powernap stop

- **Languages** : Python, C/C++, Ruby, Perl, Java, SQL, Bash, Expect, Tcl/Tk, UML OCL, COBOL
- Introduced an SELinux strict policy workflow allowing developers to do most of the work associated with setting up a policy.
Previously all policy work was done by a single engineer. Now policy work can be distributed across the development team.
-- Continued supporting puppet infrstructure for both the dev and ops environments, especially with respect to security-related changes.

Introduced 'infrastructure-as-code' to the ASI Engineering group.
-- Introduced Puppet and Cobbler provisioning into the Engineering workflow, cutting down the time it took from them to bring up new data centers drasticly, and increasing consistency across all data centers.
