gitlab auto devops CI deploy

shared by 張 旭 on 02 Aug 19 - No Cached
  • Auto DevOps provides pre-defined CI/CD configuration which allows you to automatically detect, build, test, deploy, and monitor your applications
  • Just push your code and GitLab takes care of everything else.
  • Auto DevOps will be automatically disabled on the first pipeline failure.
  • ...78 more annotations...
  • Your project will continue to use an alternative CI/CD configuration file if one is found
  • Auto DevOps works with any Kubernetes cluster;
  • using the Docker or Kubernetes executor, with privileged mode enabled.
  • Base domain (needed for Auto Review Apps and Auto Deploy)
  • Kubernetes (needed for Auto Review Apps, Auto Deploy, and Auto Monitoring)
  • Prometheus (needed for Auto Monitoring)
  • scrape your Kubernetes cluster.
  • project level as a variable: KUBE_INGRESS_BASE_DOMAIN
  • A wildcard DNS A record matching the base domain(s) is required
  • Once set up, all requests will hit the load balancer, which in turn will route them to the Kubernetes pods that run your application(s).
  • review/ (every environment starting with review/)
  • staging
  • production
  • need to define a separate KUBE_INGRESS_BASE_DOMAIN variable for all the above based on the environment.
  • Continuous deployment to production: Enables Auto Deploy with master branch directly deployed to production.
  • Continuous deployment to production using timed incremental rollout
  • Automatic deployment to staging, manual deployment to production
  • Auto Build creates a build of the application using an existing Dockerfile or Heroku buildpacks.
  • If a project’s repository contains a Dockerfile, Auto Build will use docker build to create a Docker image.
  • Each buildpack requires certain files to be in your project’s repository for Auto Build to successfully build your application.
  • Auto Test automatically runs the appropriate tests for your application using Herokuish and Heroku buildpacks by analyzing your project to detect the language and framework.
  • Auto Code Quality uses the Code Quality image to run static analysis and other code checks on the current code.
  • Static Application Security Testing (SAST) uses the SAST Docker image to run static analysis on the current code and checks for potential security issues.
  • Dependency Scanning uses the Dependency Scanning Docker image to run analysis on the project dependencies and checks for potential security issues.
  • License Management uses the License Management Docker image to search the project dependencies for their license.
  • Vulnerability Static Analysis for containers uses Clair to run static analysis on a Docker image and checks for potential security issues.
  • Review Apps are temporary application environments based on the branch’s code so developers, designers, QA, product managers, and other reviewers can actually see and interact with code changes as part of the review process. Auto Review Apps create a Review App for each branch. Auto Review Apps will deploy your app to your Kubernetes cluster only. When no cluster is available, no deployment will occur.
  • The Review App will have a unique URL based on the project ID, the branch or tag name, and a unique number, combined with the Auto DevOps base domain.
  • Review apps are deployed using the auto-deploy-app chart with Helm, which can be customized.
  • Your apps should not be manipulated outside of Helm (using Kubernetes directly).
  • Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) uses the popular open source tool OWASP ZAProxy to perform an analysis on the current code and checks for potential security issues.
  • Auto Browser Performance Testing utilizes the Sitespeed.io container to measure the performance of a web page.
  • add the paths to a file named .gitlab-urls.txt in the root directory, one per line.
  • After a branch or merge request is merged into the project’s default branch (usually master), Auto Deploy deploys the application to a production environment in the Kubernetes cluster, with a namespace based on the project name and unique project ID
  • Auto Deploy doesn’t include deployments to staging or canary by default, but the Auto DevOps template contains job definitions for these tasks if you want to enable them.
  • Apps are deployed using the auto-deploy-app chart with Helm.
  • For internal and private projects a GitLab Deploy Token will be automatically created, when Auto DevOps is enabled and the Auto DevOps settings are saved.
  • If the GitLab Deploy Token cannot be found, CI_REGISTRY_PASSWORD is used. Note that CI_REGISTRY_PASSWORD is only valid during deployment.
  • If present, DB_INITIALIZE will be run as a shell command within an application pod as a helm post-install hook.
  • a post-install hook means that if any deploy succeeds, DB_INITIALIZE will not be processed thereafter.
  • DB_MIGRATE will be run as a shell command within an application pod as a helm pre-upgrade hook.

      如果專案類型不同，就要去查 buildpacks 裡面如何叫用該指令，例如 laravel 的 migration
    • 張 旭
      張 旭 on 02 Aug 19
       
      如果是自己的 Dockerfile 建立起來的，看來就不用鳥 buildpacks 的作法
  • Once your application is deployed, Auto Monitoring makes it possible to monitor your application’s server and response metrics right out of the box.
  • annotate the NGINX Ingress deployment to be scraped by Prometheus using prometheus.io/scrape: "true" and prometheus.io/port: "10254"
  • If you are also using Auto Review Apps and Auto Deploy and choose to provide your own Dockerfile, make sure you expose your application to port 5000 as this is the port assumed by the default Helm chart.
  • While Auto DevOps provides great defaults to get you started, you can customize almost everything to fit your needs; from custom buildpacks, to Dockerfiles, Helm charts, or even copying the complete CI/CD configuration into your project to enable staging and canary deployments, and more.
  • If your project has a Dockerfile in the root of the project repo, Auto DevOps will build a Docker image based on the Dockerfile rather than using buildpacks.
  • Auto DevOps uses Helm to deploy your application to Kubernetes.
  • Bundled chart - If your project has a ./chart directory with a Chart.yaml file in it, Auto DevOps will detect the chart and use it instead of the default one.
  • Create a project variable AUTO_DEVOPS_CHART with the URL of a custom chart to use or create two project variables AUTO_DEVOPS_CHART_REPOSITORY with the URL of a custom chart repository and AUTO_DEVOPS_CHART with the path to the chart.
  • make use of the HELM_UPGRADE_EXTRA_ARGS environment variable to override the default values in the values.yaml file in the default Helm chart.
  • specify the use of a custom Helm chart per environment by scoping the environment variable to the desired environment.

  • Your additions will be merged with the Auto DevOps template using the behaviour described for include
  • copy and paste the contents of the Auto DevOps template into your project and edit this as needed.
  • In order to support applications that require a database, PostgreSQL is provisioned by default.
  • Set up the replica variables using a project variable and scale your application by just redeploying it!
  • You should not scale your application using Kubernetes directly.
  • Some applications need to define secret variables that are accessible by the deployed application.
  • Auto DevOps detects variables where the key starts with K8S_SECRET_ and make these prefixed variables available to the deployed application, as environment variables.
  • Auto DevOps pipelines will take your application secret variables to populate a Kubernetes secret.
  • Environment variables are generally considered immutable in a Kubernetes pod.
  • if you update an application secret without changing any code then manually create a new pipeline, you will find that any running application pods will not have the updated secrets.
  • Variables with multiline values are not currently supported
  • The normal behavior of Auto DevOps is to use Continuous Deployment, pushing automatically to the production environment every time a new pipeline is run on the default branch.
  • If STAGING_ENABLED is defined in your project (e.g., set STAGING_ENABLED to 1 as a CI/CD variable), then the application will be automatically deployed to a staging environment, and a production_manual job will be created for you when you’re ready to manually deploy to production.
  • If CANARY_ENABLED is defined in your project (e.g., set CANARY_ENABLED to 1 as a CI/CD variable) then two manual jobs will be created: canary which will deploy the application to the canary environment production_manual which is to be used by you when you’re ready to manually deploy to production.
  • If INCREMENTAL_ROLLOUT_MODE is set to manual in your project, then instead of the standard production job, 4 different manual jobs will be created: rollout 10% rollout 25% rollout 50% rollout 100%
  • The percentage is based on the REPLICAS variable and defines the number of pods you want to have for your deployment.
  • To start a job, click on the play icon next to the job’s name.
  • Once you get to 100%, you cannot scale down, and you’d have to roll back by redeploying the old version using the rollback button in the environment page.
  • With INCREMENTAL_ROLLOUT_MODE set to manual and with STAGING_ENABLED
  • not all buildpacks support Auto Test yet
  • When a project has been marked as private, GitLab’s Container Registry requires authentication when downloading containers.
  • Authentication credentials will be valid while the pipeline is running, allowing for a successful initial deployment.
  • After the pipeline completes, Kubernetes will no longer be able to access the Container Registry.
  • We strongly advise using GitLab Container Registry with Auto DevOps in order to simplify configuration and prevent any unforeseen issues.

  • we can write our own tasks to help us automate various things.
  • organizing all of the tasks here under a namespace
  • upload a file from our local computer.
  • ...27 more annotations...
  • learn about is SSHKit and the various methods it provides
  • SSHKit was actually developed and released with Capistrano 3, and it’s basically a lower-level tool that provides methods for connecting and interacting with remote servers
  • on(): specifies the server to run on
  • within(): specifies the directory path to run in
  • with(): specifies the environment variables to run with
  • run on the application server
  • within the path specified
  • with certain environment variables set
  • execute(): the workhorse that runs the commands on your server
  • upload(): uploads a file from your local computer to your remote server
  • capture(): executes a command and returns its output as a string
    • 張 旭

      capture 是跑在遠端伺服器上
  • upload() has the bang symbol (!) because that’s how it’s defined in SSHKit, and it’s just a convention letting us know that the method will block until it finishes.
  • But in order to ensure rake runs with the proper environment variables set, we have to use rake as a symbol and pass db:seed as a string
  • This format will also be necessary whenever you’re running any other Rails-specific commands that rely on certain environment variables being set
  • I recommend you take a look at SSHKit’s example page to learn more
  • make sure we pushed all our local changes to the remote master branch
  • run this task before Capistrano runs its own deploy task
  • actually creates three separate tasks
  • I created a namespace called deploy to contain these tasks since that’s what they’re related to.
  • we’re using the callbacks inside a namespace to make sure Capistrano knows which tasks the callbacks are referencing.
  • custom recipe (a Capistrano term meaning a series of tasks)
  • /shared: holds files and directories that persist throughout deploys
  • When you run cap production deploy, you’re actually calling a Capistrano task called deploy, which then sequentially invokes other tasks
  • your favorite browser (I hope it’s not Internet Explorer)
  • Deployment is hard and takes a while to sink in.
  • the most important thing is to not get discouraged
  • I didn’t want other people going through the same thing

programming git gitlab flow

shared by 張 旭 on 14 Mar 20 - No Cached
  • 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.

  • Helm will figure out where to install Tiller by reading your Kubernetes configuration file (usually $HOME/.kube/config). This is the same file that kubectl uses.
  • kubectl cluster-info
  • Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) enabled
  • ...133 more annotations...
  • initialize the local CLI
  • install Tiller into your Kubernetes cluster
  • helm install
  • helm init --upgrade
  • By default, when Tiller is installed, it does not have authentication enabled.
  • helm repo update
  • Without a max history set the history is kept indefinitely, leaving a large number of records for helm and tiller to maintain.
  • helm init --upgrade
  • Whenever you install a chart, a new release is created.
  • one chart can be installed multiple times into the same cluster. And each can be independently managed and upgraded.
  • helm list function will show you a list of all deployed releases.
  • helm delete
  • helm status
  • you can audit a cluster’s history, and even undelete a release (with helm rollback).
  • the Helm server (Tiller).
  • The Helm client (helm)
  • brew install kubernetes-helm
  • Tiller, the server portion of Helm, typically runs inside of your Kubernetes cluster.
  • it can also be run locally, and configured to talk to a remote Kubernetes cluster.
  • Role-Based Access Control - RBAC for short
  • create a service account for Tiller with the right roles and permissions to access resources.
  • run Tiller in an RBAC-enabled Kubernetes cluster.
  • run kubectl get pods --namespace kube-system and see Tiller running.
  • helm inspect
  • Helm will look for Tiller in the kube-system namespace unless --tiller-namespace or TILLER_NAMESPACE is set.
  • For development, it is sometimes easier to work on Tiller locally, and configure it to connect to a remote Kubernetes cluster.
  • even when running locally, Tiller will store release configuration in ConfigMaps inside of Kubernetes.
  • helm version should show you both the client and server version.
  • Tiller stores its data in Kubernetes ConfigMaps, you can safely delete and re-install Tiller without worrying about losing any data.
  • helm reset
  • The --node-selectors flag allows us to specify the node labels required for scheduling the Tiller pod.
  • --override allows you to specify properties of Tiller’s deployment manifest.
  • helm init --override manipulates the specified properties of the final manifest (there is no “values” file).
  • The --output flag allows us skip the installation of Tiller’s deployment manifest and simply output the deployment manifest to stdout in either JSON or YAML format.
  • By default, tiller stores release information in ConfigMaps in the namespace where it is running.
  • switch from the default backend to the secrets backend, you’ll have to do the migration for this on your own.
  • a beta SQL storage backend that stores release information in an SQL database (only postgres has been tested so far).
  • Once you have the Helm Client and Tiller successfully installed, you can move on to using Helm to manage charts.
  • Helm requires that kubelet have access to a copy of the socat program to proxy connections to the Tiller API.
  • A Release is an instance of a chart running in a Kubernetes cluster. One chart can often be installed many times into the same cluster.
  • helm init --client-only
  • helm init --dry-run --debug
  • A panic in Tiller is almost always the result of a failure to negotiate with the Kubernetes API server
  • Tiller and Helm have to negotiate a common version to make sure that they can safely communicate without breaking API assumptions
  • helm delete --purge
  • Helm stores some files in $HELM_HOME, which is located by default in ~/.helm
  • A Chart is a Helm package. It contains all of the resource definitions necessary to run an application, tool, or service inside of a Kubernetes cluster.
  • it like the Kubernetes equivalent of a Homebrew formula, an Apt dpkg, or a Yum RPM file.
  • A Repository is the place where charts can be collected and shared.
  • Set the $HELM_HOME environment variable
  • each time it is installed, a new release is created.
  • Helm installs charts into Kubernetes, creating a new release for each installation. And to find new charts, you can search Helm chart repositories.
  • chart repository is named stable by default
  • helm search shows you all of the available charts
  • helm inspect
  • To install a new package, use the helm install command. At its simplest, it takes only one argument: The name of the chart.
  • If you want to use your own release name, simply use the --name flag on helm install
  • additional configuration steps you can or should take.
  • Helm does not wait until all of the resources are running before it exits. Many charts require Docker images that are over 600M in size, and may take a long time to install into the cluster.
  • helm status
  • helm inspect values
  • helm inspect values stable/mariadb
  • override any of these settings in a YAML formatted file, and then pass that file during installation.
  • helm install -f config.yaml stable/mariadb
  • --values (or -f): Specify a YAML file with overrides.
  • --set (and its variants --set-string and --set-file): Specify overrides on the command line.
  • Values that have been --set can be cleared by running helm upgrade with --reset-values specified.
  • Chart designers are encouraged to consider the --set usage when designing the format of a values.yaml file.
  • --set-file key=filepath is another variant of --set. It reads the file and use its content as a value.
  • inject a multi-line text into values without dealing with indentation in YAML.
  • An unpacked chart directory
  • When a new version of a chart is released, or when you want to change the configuration of your release, you can use the helm upgrade command.
  • Kubernetes charts can be large and complex, Helm tries to perform the least invasive upgrade.
  • It will only update things that have changed since the last release
  • $ helm upgrade -f panda.yaml happy-panda stable/mariadb
  • deployment
  • If both are used, --set values are merged into --values with higher precedence.
  • The helm get command is a useful tool for looking at a release in the cluster.
  • helm rollback
  • A release version is an incremental revision. Every time an install, upgrade, or rollback happens, the revision number is incremented by 1.
  • helm history
  • a release name cannot be re-used.

  • Tiller can be installed into any namespace.
  • Limiting Tiller to only be able to install into specific namespaces and/or resource types is controlled by Kubernetes RBAC roles and rolebindings
  • Release names are unique PER TILLER INSTANCE
  • Charts should only contain resources that exist in a single namespace.
  • not recommended to have multiple Tillers configured to manage resources in the same namespace.
  • a client-side Helm plugin. A plugin is a tool that can be accessed through the helm CLI, but which is not part of the built-in Helm codebase.
  • Helm plugins are add-on tools that integrate seamlessly with Helm. They provide a way to extend the core feature set of Helm, but without requiring every new feature to be written in Go and added to the core tool.
  • Helm plugins live in $(helm home)/plugins
  • The Helm plugin model is partially modeled on Git’s plugin model
  • helm referred to as the porcelain layer, with plugins being the plumbing.
  • helm plugin install https://github.com/technosophos/helm-template
  • command is the command that this plugin will execute when it is called.
  • Environment variables are interpolated before the plugin is executed.
  • The command itself is not executed in a shell. So you can’t oneline a shell script.
  • Helm is able to fetch Charts using HTTP/S
  • Variables like KUBECONFIG are set for the plugin if they are set in the outer environment.
  • In Kubernetes, granting a role to an application-specific service account is a best practice to ensure that your application is operating in the scope that you have specified.
  • restrict Tiller’s capabilities to install resources to certain namespaces, or to grant a Helm client running access to a Tiller instance.
  • Service account with cluster-admin role
  • The cluster-admin role is created by default in a Kubernetes cluster
  • Deploy Tiller in a namespace, restricted to deploying resources only in that namespace
  • Deploy Tiller in a namespace, restricted to deploying resources in another namespace
  • When running a Helm client in a pod, in order for the Helm client to talk to a Tiller instance, it will need certain privileges to be granted.
  • SSL Between Helm and Tiller
  • The Tiller authentication model uses client-side SSL certificates.
  • creating an internal CA, and using both the cryptographic and identity functions of SSL.
  • Helm is a powerful and flexible package-management and operations tool for Kubernetes.
  • default installation applies no security configurations
  • with a cluster that is well-secured in a private network with no data-sharing or no other users or teams.
  • With great power comes great responsibility.
  • Choose the Best Practices you should apply to your helm installation
  • Role-based access control, or RBAC
  • Tiller’s gRPC endpoint and its usage by Helm
  • Kubernetes employ a role-based access control (or RBAC) system (as do modern operating systems) to help mitigate the damage that can be done if credentials are misused or bugs exist.
  • In the default installation the gRPC endpoint that Tiller offers is available inside the cluster (not external to the cluster) without authentication configuration applied.
  • Tiller stores its release information in ConfigMaps. We suggest changing the default to Secrets.
  • release information
  • charts
  • charts are a kind of package that not only installs containers you may or may not have validated yourself, but it may also install into more than one namespace.
  • As with all shared software, in a controlled or shared environment you must validate all software you install yourself before you install it.
  • Helm’s provenance tools to ensure the provenance and integrity of charts

  • 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.

  • Git allows a wide variety of branching strategies and workflows.
  • not integrated with issue tracking systems
  • The biggest problem is that many long-running branches emerge that all contain part of the changes.
  • ...47 more annotations...
  • most organizations practice continuous delivery, which means that your default branch can be deployed.
  • 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.
  • you can deploy to production every time you merge a feature branch.
  • deploy a new version by merging master into the production branch.
  • you can have your deployment script create a tag on each deployment.
  • to have an environment that is automatically updated to the master branch
  • commits only flow downstream, ensures that everything is tested in all environments.
  • first 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
  • “merge request” since the final action is to merge the feature branch.
  • “pull request” since the first manual action is to pull the feature branch
  • it is common to protect the long-lived branches
  • After you merge a feature branch, you should remove it from the source control software
  • When you are ready to code, create a branch for the issue from the master branch. This branch is the place for any work related to this change.
  • A merge request is an online place to discuss the change and review the code.
  • 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.
  • To automatically close linked issues, mention them with the words “fixes” or “closes,” for example, “fixes #14” or “closes #67.” 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.
  • With Git, you can 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.
  • always use the “no fast-forward” (--no-ff) strategy when you merge manually.
  • you should try to avoid merge commits in feature branches
  • 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.
  • you should never rebase commits you have pushed to a remote server
  • Sometimes you can reuse recorded resolutions (rerere), but merging is better since you only have to resolve conflicts once.
  • not frequently merge master into the feature branch.
  • utilizing new code,
  • resolving merge conflicts
  • updating long-running branches.
  • just cherry-picking a commit.
  • If your feature branch has a merge conflict, creating a merge commit is a standard way of solving this.
  • keep your feature branches short-lived.
  • split your features into smaller units of work
  • you should try to prevent merge commits, but not eliminate them.
  • Your codebase should be clean, but your history should represent what actually happened.
  • Splitting up work into individual commits provides context for developers looking at your code later.
  • push your feature branch frequently, even when it is not yet ready for review.
  • Commit often and push frequently
  • A commit message should reflect your intention, not just the contents of the commit.
  • Testing before merging
  • When using GitLab flow, developers create their branches from this master branch, so it is essential that it never breaks. Therefore, each merge request must be tested before it is accepted.
  • When creating a feature branch, always branch from an up-to-date master

devops gitlab auto

shared by 張 旭 on 15 Apr 21 - No Cached
  • 一個 K8S 的 Cluster，Auto DevOps 將會把網站部署到這個 Cluster
  • 需要有一個 wildcard 的 DNS 讓部署在這個環境的網站有 Domain name
  • 一個可以跑 Docker 的 GitLab Runner，將會為由它來執行 CI / CD 的流程。
  • ...37 more annotations...
  • 其實 Auto DevOps 就是一份官方寫好的 gitlab-ci.yml，在啟動 Auto DevOps 的專案裡，如果找不到 gitlab-ci.yml 檔，那就會直接用官方 gitlab-ci.yml 去跑 CI / CD 流程。
  • Pod 是 K8S 中可以被部署的最小元件，一個 Pod 是由一到多個 Container 組成，同個 Pod 的不同 Container 之間彼此共享網路資源。
  • 每個 Pod 都會有它的 yaml 檔，用以描述 Pod 會使用的 Image 還有連接的 Port 等資訊。
  • Node 又分成 Worker Node 和 Master Node 兩種
  • Helm 透過參數 (parameter) 跟模板 (template) 的方式，讓我們可以在只修改參數的方式重複利用模板。
  • 為了要有 CI CD 的功能我們會把 .gitlab-ci.yml 放在專案的根目錄裡， GitLab 會依造 .gitlab-ci.yml 的設定產生 CI/CD Pipeline，每個 Pipeline 裡面可能有多個 Job，這時候就會需要有 GitLab Runner 來執行這些 Job 並把執行的結果回傳給 GitLab 讓它知道這個 Job 是否有正常執行。
  • 把專案打包成 Docker Image 這工作又或是 helm 的操作都會在 Container 內執行
  • CI/CD Pipeline 是由 stage 還有 job 組成的，stage 是有順序性的，前面的 stage 完成後才會開始下一個 stage。
  • 每個 stage 裡面包含一到多個 Job
  • Auto Devops 裡也會大量用到這種在指定 Container 內運行的工作。
  • 可以通過 health checks
  • 開 private 的話還要注意使用 Container Registry 的權限問題
  • 申請好的 wildcard 的 DNS
  • Auto Devops 也提供只要設定環境變數就能一定程度客製化的選項
  • 特別注意 namespace 有沒有設定對，不然會找不到資料喔
  • Auto Devops，如果想要進一步的客製化，而且是改 GitLab 環境變數都無法實現的客製化，這時候還是得回到 .gitlab-ci.yml 設定檔
  • 在 Docker in Docker 的環境用 Dockerfile 打包 Image
  • 用 helm upgrade 把 chart 部署到 K8S 上
  • GitLab CI 的環境變數主要有三個來源，優先度高到低依序為Settings > CI/CD 介面定義的變數gitlab_ci.yml 定義環境變數GitLab 預設環境變數
  • 把專案打包成 Docker Image 首先需要在專案下新增一份 Dockerfile
  • Auto Devops 裡面的做法，用 herokuish 提供的 Image 來打包專案
  • 在 Runner 的環境中是沒有 docker 指令可以用的，所以這邊啟動一個 Docker Container 在裡面執行就可以用 docker 指令了。
  • 其中 $CI_COMMIT_SHA $CI_COMMIT_BEFORE_SHA 這兩個都是 GitLab 預設環境變數，代表這次 commit 還有上次 commit 的 SHA 值。
  • dind 則是直接啟動 docker daemon，此外 dind 還會自動產生 TLS certificates
  • 為了在 Docker Container 內運行 Docker，會把 Host 上面的 Docker API 分享給 Container。
  • docker:stable 有執行 docker 需要的執行檔，他裡面也包含要啟動 docker 的程式(docker daemon)，但啟動 Container 的 entrypoint 是 sh
  • docker:dind 繼承自 docker:stable，而且它 entrypoint 就是啟動 docker 的腳本，此外還會做完 TLS certificates
  • Container 要去連 Host 上的 Docker API 。但現在連線失敗卻是找 http://docker:2375，現在的 dind 已經不是被當做 services 來用了，而是要直接在裡面跑 Docker，所以他應該是要 unix:///var/run/docker.sock 用這種連線，於是把環境變數 DOCKER_HOST 從 tcp://docker:2375 改成空字串，讓 docker daemon 走預設連線就能成功囉！
  • auto-deploy preparationhelm init 建立 helm 專案設定 tiller 在背景執行設定 cluster 的 namespace
  • auto-deploy deploy使用 helm upgrade 部署 chart 到 K8S 上透過 --set 來設定要注入 template 的參數
  • set -x，這樣就能在執行前，顯示指令內容。
  • 用 helm repo list 看看現在有註冊哪些 Chart Repository
  • helm fetch gitlab/auto-deploy-app --untar
  • nohup 可以讓你在離線或登出系統後，還能夠讓工作繼續進行
  • 在不特別設定 CI_APPLICATION_REPOSITORY 的情況下，image_repository 的值就是預設環境變數 CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE/CI_COMMIT_REF_SLUG
  • A:-B 的意思是如果有 A 就用它，沒有就用 B
  • 研究 Auto Devops 難度最高的地方就是太多工具整合在一起，搞不清楚他們之間的關係，出錯也不知道從何查起

  • Pod-to-Service communications
  • External-to-Service communications
  • Kubernetes is all about sharing machines between applications.
  • sharing machines requires ensuring that two applications do not try to use the same ports.
  • Dynamic port allocation brings a lot of complications to the system
  • Every Pod gets its own IP address
  • do not need to explicitly create links between Pods
  • almost never need to deal with mapping container ports to host ports.
  • Pods can be treated much like VMs or physical hosts from the perspectives of port allocation, naming, service discovery, load balancing, application configuration, and migration.
  • pods on a node can communicate with all pods on all nodes without NAT
  • agents on a node (e.g. system daemons, kubelet) can communicate with all pods on that node
  • pods in the host network of a node can communicate with all pods on all nodes without NAT
  • If your job previously ran in a VM, your VM had an IP and could talk to other VMs in your project. This is the same basic model.
  • containers within a Pod share their network namespaces - including their IP address
  • containers within a Pod can all reach each other’s ports on localhost
  • containers within a Pod must coordinate port usage
  • “IP-per-pod” model.
  • request ports on the Node itself which forward to your Pod (called host ports), but this is a very niche operation
  • The Pod itself is blind to the existence or non-existence of host ports.
  • AOS is an Intent-Based Networking system that creates and manages complex datacenter environments from a simple integrated platform.
  • Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure offers an integrated overlay and underlay SDN solution that supports containers, virtual machines, and bare metal servers.
  • AOS Reference Design currently supports Layer-3 connected hosts that eliminate legacy Layer-2 switching problems.
  • The AWS VPC CNI offers integrated AWS Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) networking for Kubernetes clusters.
  • users can apply existing AWS VPC networking and security best practices for building Kubernetes clusters.
  • Using this CNI plugin allows Kubernetes pods to have the same IP address inside the pod as they do on the VPC network.
  • The CNI allocates AWS Elastic Networking Interfaces (ENIs) to each Kubernetes node and using the secondary IP range from each ENI for pods on the node.
  • Big Cloud Fabric is a cloud native networking architecture, designed to run Kubernetes in private cloud/on-premises environments.
  • Cilium is L7/HTTP aware and can enforce network policies on L3-L7 using an identity based security model that is decoupled from network addressing.
  • CNI-Genie is a CNI plugin that enables Kubernetes to simultaneously have access to different implementations of the Kubernetes network model in runtime.
  • CNI-Genie also supports assigning multiple IP addresses to a pod, each from a different CNI plugin.
  • cni-ipvlan-vpc-k8s contains a set of CNI and IPAM plugins to provide a simple, host-local, low latency, high throughput, and compliant networking stack for Kubernetes within Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) environments by making use of Amazon Elastic Network Interfaces (ENI) and binding AWS-managed IPs into Pods using the Linux kernel’s IPvlan driver in L2 mode.

  • Kube-router provides a Linux LVS/IPVS-based service proxy, a Linux kernel forwarding-based pod-to-pod networking solution with no overlays, and iptables/ipset-based network policy enforcer.
  • If you have a “dumb” L2 network, such as a simple switch in a “bare-metal” environment, you should be able to do something similar to the above GCE setup.
  • Multus is a Multi CNI plugin to support the Multi Networking feature in Kubernetes using CRD based network objects in Kubernetes.
  • NSX-T can provide network virtualization for a multi-cloud and multi-hypervisor environment and is focused on emerging application frameworks and architectures that have heterogeneous endpoints and technology stacks.
  • NSX-T Container Plug-in (NCP) provides integration between NSX-T and container orchestrators such as Kubernetes
  • Nuage uses the open source Open vSwitch for the data plane along with a feature rich SDN Controller built on open standards.
  • OpenVSwitch is a somewhat more mature but also complicated way to build an overlay network
  • OVN is an opensource network virtualization solution developed by the Open vSwitch community.
  • Project Calico is an open source container networking provider and network policy engine.
  • Calico provides a highly scalable networking and network policy solution for connecting Kubernetes pods based on the same IP networking principles as the internet
  • Calico can be deployed without encapsulation or overlays to provide high-performance, high-scale data center networking.
  • Calico can also be run in policy enforcement mode in conjunction with other networking solutions such as Flannel, aka canal, or native GCE, AWS or Azure networking.
  • Romana is an open source network and security automation solution that lets you deploy Kubernetes without an overlay network
  • Weave Net runs as a CNI plug-in or stand-alone. In either version, it doesn’t require any configuration or extra code to run, and in both cases, the network provides one IP address per pod - as is standard for Kubernetes.
  • The network model is implemented by the container runtime on each node.
