    "Delivering production software can often be a painful task. Long test periods and the integration between operations and development can ruin or delay a promising delivery. That's what DevOps can fix. DevOps is a cultural change that aims to smoothly integrate development and operations procedures, breaking the barriers between them and focusing on automation, collaboration, and sharing of knowledge and tools. This book shows you how to implement DevOps and Continuous Delivery practices to raise your system's deployment frequency, increasing your production application's stability and robustness."

  • GitLab flow as a clearly defined set of best practices. It combines feature-driven development and feature branches with issue tracking.
  • In Git, you add files from the working copy to the staging area. After that, you commit them to your local repo. The third step is pushing to a shared remote repository.
  • branching model
  • ...68 more annotations...
  • The biggest problem is that many long-running branches emerge that all contain part of the changes.
  • It is a convention to call your default branch master and to mostly branch from and merge to this.
  • Nowadays, most organizations practice continuous delivery, which means that your default branch can be deployed.
  • Continuous delivery removes the need for hotfix and release branches, including all the ceremony they introduce.
  • Merging everything into the master branch and frequently deploying means you minimize the amount of unreleased code, which is in line with lean and continuous delivery best practices.
  • GitHub flow assumes you can deploy to production every time you merge a feature branch.
  • You can deploy a new version by merging master into the production branch. If you need to know what code is in production, you can just checkout the production branch to see.
  • Production branch
  • Environment branches
  • have an environment that is automatically updated to the master branch.
  • deploy the master branch to staging.
  • To deploy to pre-production, create a merge request from the master branch to the pre-production branch.
  • Go live by merging the pre-production branch into the production branch.
  • Release branches
  • work with release branches if you need to release software to the outside world.
  • each branch contains a minor version
  • After announcing a release branch, only add serious bug fixes to the branch.
  • merge these bug fixes into master, and then cherry-pick them into the release branch.
  • Merging into master and then cherry-picking into release is called an “upstream first” policy
  • Tools such as GitHub and Bitbucket choose the name “pull request” since the first manual action is to pull the feature branch.
  • Tools such as GitLab and others choose the name “merge request” since the final action is to merge the feature branch.
  • If you work on a feature branch for more than a few hours, it is good to share the intermediate result with the rest of the team.
  • the merge request automatically updates when new commits are pushed to the branch.
  • If the assigned person does not feel comfortable, they can request more changes or close the merge request without merging.
  • In GitLab, it is common to protect the long-lived branches, e.g., the master branch, so that most developers can’t modify them.
  • if you want to merge into a protected branch, assign your merge request to someone with maintainer permissions.
  • After you merge a feature branch, you should remove it from the source control software.
  • Having a reason for every code change helps to inform the rest of the team and to keep the scope of a feature branch small.
  • If there is no issue yet, create the issue
  • The issue title should describe the desired state of the system.
  • For example, the issue title “As an administrator, I want to remove users without receiving an error” is better than “Admin can’t remove users.”
  • create a branch for the issue from the master branch
  • If you open the merge request but do not assign it to anyone, it is a “Work In Progress” merge request.
  • Start the title of the merge request with [WIP] or WIP: to prevent it from being merged before it’s ready.
  • When they press the merge button, GitLab merges the code and creates a merge commit that makes this event easily visible later on.
  • Merge requests always create a merge commit, even when the branch could be merged without one. This merge strategy is called “no fast-forward” in Git.
  • Suppose that a branch is merged but a problem occurs and the issue is reopened. In this case, it is no problem to reuse the same branch name since the first branch was deleted when it was merged.
  • At any time, there is at most one branch for every issue.
  • It is possible that one feature branch solves more than one issue.
  • GitLab closes these issues when the code is merged into the default branch.
  • If you have an issue that spans across multiple repositories, create an issue for each repository and link all issues to a parent issue.
  • use an interactive rebase (rebase -i) to squash multiple commits into one or reorder them.
  • you should never rebase commits you have pushed to a remote server.
  • Rebasing creates new commits for all your changes, which can cause confusion because the same change would have multiple identifiers.
  • if someone has already reviewed your code, rebasing makes it hard to tell what changed since the last review.
  • never rebase commits authored by other people.
  • it is a bad idea to rebase commits that you have already pushed.
  • If you revert a merge commit and then change your mind, revert the revert commit to redo the merge.
  • Often, people avoid merge commits by just using rebase to reorder their commits after the commits on the master branch.
  • Using rebase prevents a merge commit when merging master into your feature branch, and it creates a neat linear history.
  • every time you rebase, you have to resolve similar conflicts.
  • Sometimes you can reuse recorded resolutions (rerere), but merging is better since you only have to resolve conflicts once.
  • A good way to prevent creating many merge commits is to not frequently merge master into the feature branch.
  • keep your feature branches short-lived.
  • Most feature branches should take less than one day of work.
  • If your feature branches often take more than a day of work, try to split your features into smaller units of work.
  • You could also use feature toggles to hide incomplete features so you can still merge back into master every day.
  • you should try to prevent merge commits, but not eliminate them.
  • Your codebase should be clean, but your history should represent what actually happened.
  • If you rebase code, the history is incorrect, and there is no way for tools to remedy this because they can’t deal with changing commit identifiers
  • Commit often and push frequently
  • You should push your feature branch frequently, even when it is not yet ready for review.
  • A commit message should reflect your intention, not just the contents of the commit.
  • each merge request must be tested before it is accepted.
  • test the master branch after each change.
  • If new commits in master cause merge conflicts with the feature branch, merge master back into the branch to make the CI server re-run the tests.
  • When creating a feature branch, always branch from an up-to-date master.
  • Do not merge from upstream again if your code can work and merge cleanly without doing so.

shared by 張 旭 on 11 Oct 21 - No Cached
  • Trunk-based development is a version control management practice where developers merge small, frequent updates to a core “trunk” or main branch.
  • Gitflow and trunk-based development. 
  • Gitflow, which was popularized first, is a stricter development model where only certain individuals can approve changes to the main code. This maintains code quality and minimizes the number of bugs.
  • ...20 more annotations...
  • Trunk-based development is a more open model since all developers have access to the main code. This enables teams to iterate quickly and implement CI/CD.
  • Developers can create short-lived branches with a few small commits compared to other long-lived feature branching strategies.
  • Gitflow is an alternative Git branching model that uses long-lived feature branches and multiple primary branches.
  • Gitflow also has separate primary branch lines for development, hotfixes, features, and releases.
  • Trunk-based development is far more simplified since it focuses on the main branch as the source of fixes and releases.
  • Trunk-based development eases the friction of code integration.
  • trunk-based development model reduces these conflicts.
  • Adding an automated test suite and code coverage monitoring for this stream of commits enables continuous integration.
  • When new code is merged into the trunk, automated integration and code coverage tests run to validate the code quality.
  • Trunk-based development strives to keep the trunk branch “green”, meaning it's ready to deploy at any commit.
  • With continuous integration, developers perform trunk-based development in conjunction with automated tests that run after each committee to a trunk.
  • If trunk-based development was like music it would be a rapid staccato -- short, succinct notes in rapid succession, with the repository commits being the notes.
  • Instead of creating a feature branch and waiting to build out the complete specification, developers can instead create a trunk commit that introduces the feature flag and pushes new trunk commits that build out the feature specification within the flag.
  • Automated testing is necessary for any modern software project intending to achieve CI/CD.
  • Short running unit and integration tests are executed during development and upon code merge.
  • Automated tests provide a layer of preemptive code review.
  • Once a branch merges, it is best practice to delete it.
  • A repository with a large amount of active branches has some unfortunate side effects
  • Merge branches to the trunk at least once a day
  • The “continuous” in CI/CD implies that updates are constantly flowing.

  • DevOps is a set of practices that automates the processes between software development and IT teams, in order that they can build, test, and release software faster and more reliably.
  • increased trust, faster software releases, ability to solve critical issues quickly, and better manage unplanned work.
  • bringing together the best of software development and IT operations.
  • ...39 more annotations...
  • DevOps is a culture, a movement, a philosophy.
  • a firm handshake between development and operations
  • DevOps isn’t magic, and transformations don’t happen overnight.
  • Infrastructure as code
  • Culture is the #1 success factor in DevOps.
  • Building a culture of shared responsibility, transparency and faster feedback is the foundation of every high performing DevOps team.
  •  'not our problem' mentality
  • DevOps is that change in mindset of looking at the development process holistically and breaking down the barrier between Dev and Ops.
  • Speed is everything.
  • Lack of automated test and review cycles block the release to production and poor incident response time kills velocity and team confidence
  • Open communication helps Dev and Ops teams swarm on issues, fix incidents, and unblock the release pipeline faster.
  • Unplanned work is a reality that every team faces–a reality that most often impacts team productivity.
  • “cross-functional collaboration.”
  • All the tooling and automation in the world are useless if they aren’t accompanied by a genuine desire on the part of development and IT/Ops professionals to work together.
  • DevOps doesn’t solve tooling problems. It solves human problems.
  • Forming project- or product-oriented teams to replace function-based teams is a step in the right direction.
  • sharing a common goal and having a plan to reach it together
  • join sprint planning sessions, daily stand-ups, and sprint demos.
  • DevOps culture across every department
  • open channels of communication, and talk regularly
  • DevOps isn’t one team’s job. It’s everyone’s job.
  • automation eliminates repetitive manual work, yields repeatable processes, and creates reliable systems.
  • Build, test, deploy, and provisioning automation
  • continuous delivery: the practice of running each code change through a gauntlet of automated tests, often facilitated by cloud-based infrastructure, then packaging up successful builds and promoting them up toward production using automated deploys.
  • automated deploys alert IT/Ops to server “drift” between environments, which reduces or eliminates surprises when it’s time to release.
  • “configuration as code.”
  • when DevOps uses automated deploys to send thoroughly tested code to identically provisioned environments, “Works on my machine!” becomes irrelevant.
  • A DevOps mindset sees opportunities for continuous improvement everywhere.
  • regular retrospectives
  • A/B testing
  • failure is inevitable. So you might as well set up your team to absorb it, recover, and learn from it (some call this “being anti-fragile”).
  • Postmortems focus on where processes fell down and how to strengthen them – not on which team member f'ed up the code.
  • Our engineers are responsible for QA, writing, and running their own tests to get the software out to customers.
  • How long did it take to go from development to deployment? 
  • How long does it take to recover after a system failure?
  • service level agreements (SLAs)
  • Devops isn't any single person's job. It's everyone's job.
  • DevOps is big on the idea that the same people who build an application should be involved in shipping and running it.
  • developers and operators pair with each other in each phase of the application’s lifecycle.

  • a CNAME record does not function the same way as a URL redirect
  • A DKIM record or domain keys identified mail record displays the public key for authenticating messages that have been signed with the DKIM protocol
  • An MX record or mail exchange record sets the mail delivery destination for a domain (or subdomain).
  • Ideally, an MX record should point to a domain that is also the hostname for its server.
  • Your MX records don’t necessarily have to point to your Linode. If you’re using a third-party mail service, like Google Apps, you should use the MX records they provide.

  • A PTR record or pointer record matches up an IP address to a domain (or subdomain), allowing reverse DNS queries to function.
  • PTR records are usually set with your hosting provider. They are not part of your domain’s zone file.
  • An SOA record or Start of Authority record labels a zone file with the name of the host where it was originally created.
  • The administrative email address is written with a period (.) instead of an at symbol (<@>).
  • The single nameserver mentioned in the SOA record is considered the primary master for the purposes of Dynamic DNS and is the server where zone file changes get made before they are propagated to all other nameservers.
  • An SPF record or Sender Policy Framework record lists the designated mail servers for a domain (or subdomain).
  • An SPF record for your domain tells other receiving mail servers which outgoing server(s) are valid sources of email, so they can reject spoofed email from your domain that has originated from unauthorized servers.
  • Your SPF record will have a domain or subdomain, type (which is TXT, or SPF if your name server supports it), and text (which starts with “v=spf1” and contains the SPF record settings).
  • An SRV record or service record matches up a specific service that runs on your domain (or subdomain) to a target domain.
  • A TXT record or text record provides information about the domain in question to other resources on the Internet.
  • One common use of the TXT record is to create an SPF record on nameservers that don’t natively support SPF.

devops server infrastructure

shared by 張 旭 on 14 Apr 21 - No Cached
  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is a technique for deploying and managing infrastructure using software, configuration files, and automated tools.
  • With the older methods, technicians must configure a device manually, perhaps with the aid of an interactive tool. Information is added to configuration files by hand or through the use of ad-hoc scripts. Configuration wizards and similar utilities are helpful, but they still require hands-on management. A small group of experts owns the expertise, the process is typically poorly defined, and errors are common.
  • The development of the continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline made the idea of treating infrastructure as software much more attractive.
  • ...20 more annotations...
  • Infrastructure as Code takes advantage of the software development process, making use of quality assurance and test automation techniques.
  • Consistency/Standardization
  • Each node in the network becomes what is known as a snowflake, with its own unique settings. This leads to a system state that cannot easily be reproduced and is difficult to debug.
  • With standard configuration files and software-based configuration, there is greater consistency between all equipment of the same type. A key IaC concept is idempotence.
  • Idempotence makes it easy to troubleshoot, test, stabilize, and upgrade all the equipment.
  • Infrastructure as Code is central to the culture of DevOps, which is a mix of development and operations
  • edits are always made to the source configuration files, never on the target.
  • A declarative approach describes the final state of a device, but does not mandate how it should get there. The specific IaC tool makes all the procedural decisions. The end state is typically defined through a configuration file, a JSON specification, or a similar encoding.
  • An imperative approach defines specific functions or procedures that must be used to configure the device. It focuses on what must happen, but does not necessarily describe the final state. Imperative techniques typically use scripts for the implementation.
  • With a push configuration, the central server pushes the configuration to the destination device.
  • If a device is mutable, its configuration can be changed while it is active
  • Immutable devices cannot be changed. They must be decommissioned or rebooted and then completely rebuilt.
  • an immutable approach ensures consistency and avoids drift. However, it usually takes more time to remove or rebuild a configuration than it does to change it.
  • System administrators should consider security issues as part of the development process.
  • Ansible is a very popular open source IaC application from Red Hat

  • Researching issues felt like bouncing a rubber ball between teams, hard to catch the root cause and harder yet to stop from bouncing between one another.
  • In the past, Edge Engineering had ops-focused teams and SRE specialists who owned the deploy+operate+support parts of the software life cycle
  • hearing about those problems second-hand
  • ...17 more annotations...
  • devs could push code themselves when needed, and also were responsible for off-hours production issues and support requests
  • What were we trying to accomplish and why weren’t we being successful?
  • These specialized roles create efficiencies within each segment while potentially creating inefficiencies across the entire life cycle.
  • Grouping differing specialists together into one team can reduce silos, but having different people do each role adds communication overhead, introduces bottlenecks, and inhibits the effectiveness of feedback loops.
  • devops principles
  • develops a system also be responsible for operating and supporting that system
  • Each development team owns deployment issues, performance bugs, capacity planning, alerting gaps, partner support, and so on.
  • Those centralized teams act as force multipliers by turning their specialized knowledge into reusable building blocks.
  • Communication and alignment are the keys to success.
  • Full cycle developers are expected to be knowledgeable and effective in all areas of the software life cycle.
  • ramping up on areas they haven’t focused on before
  • We run dev bootcamps and other forms of ongoing training to impart this knowledge and build up these skills
  • “how can I automate what is needed to operate this system?”
  • “what self-service tool will enable my partners to answer their questions without needing me to be involved?”
  • A full cycle developer thinks and acts like an SWE, SDET, and SRE. At times they create software that solves business problems, at other times they write test cases for that, and still other times they automate operational aspects of that system.
  • the need for continuous delivery pipelines, monitoring/observability, and so on.
  • Tooling and automation help to scale expertise, but no tool will solve every problem in the developer productivity and operations space
