FanDuel started to use Puppet to help with configuration management, and they started evaluating the use of Elastic Load Balancers (ELBs) and Auto Scaling Groups (ASGs) to help with scaling. However, the monolithic database remained, and was now running on one of Amazon’s largest EC2 instances (but was still running hot).

The instantiation of these observations was a product that put almost all of the datacenter on "autopilot" -- Servers, VMs, switches, load-balancers, even server power controllers and power strips.

The ability to virtualize the network devices such as firewalls, IPS and load balancers also means that these once physical devices that have discrete interfaces can be controlled by software. Since they can be provisioned and configured by software means that they can now be automated using vCAC and vCD.
