  • using a service-oriented architecture and microservices approach, developers can design a code base to be modular.
  • Modern applications are often distributed and cloud-based
  • different release cycles for different components
  • ...20 more annotations...
  • the abstraction of the infrastructure layer, which is now considered code. Deployment of a new application may require the deployment of new infrastructure code as well.
  • "big bang" deployments update whole or large parts of an application in one fell swoop.
  • Big bang deployments required the business to conduct extensive development and testing before release, often associated with the "waterfall model" of large sequential releases.
  • Rollbacks are often costly, time-consuming, or even impossible.
  • In a rolling deployment, an application’s new version gradually replaces the old one.
  • new and old versions will coexist without affecting functionality or user experience.
  • Each container is modified to download the latest image from the app vendor’s site.
  • two identical production environments work in parallel.
  • Once the testing results are successful, application traffic is routed from blue to green.
  • In a blue-green deployment, both systems use the same persistence layer or database back end.
  • You can use the primary database by blue for write operations and use the secondary by green for read operations.
  • Blue-green deployments rely on traffic routing.
  • long TTL values can delay these changes.
  • The main challenge of canary deployment is to devise a way to route some users to the new application.
  • Using an application logic to unlock new features to specific users and groups.
  • With CD, the CI-built code artifact is packaged and always ready to be deployed in one or more environments.
  • Use Build Automation tools to automate environment builds
  • Use configuration management tools
  • Enable automated rollbacks for deployments
  • An application performance monitoring (APM) tool can help your team monitor critical performance metrics including server response times after deployments.

circle CI config deploy devops

shared by 張 旭 on 26 Nov 18 - No Cached
  • Change the version key to 2.1 in your .circleci/config.yml file and commit the changes to test your build.
  • Reusable commands are invoked with specific parameters as steps inside a job.
  • Commands can use other commands in the scope of execution
  • ...19 more annotations...
  • Executors define the environment in which the steps of a job will be run.
  • Executor declarations in config outside of jobs can be used by all jobs in the scope of that declaration, allowing you to reuse a single executor definition across multiple jobs.
  • It is also possible to allow an orb to define the executor used by all of its commands.
  • When invoking an executor in a job any keys in the job itself will override those of the executor invoked.
  • Steps are used when you have a job or command that needs to mix predefined and user-defined steps.
  • Use the enum parameter type when you want to enforce that the value must be one from a specific set of string values.
  • Use an executor parameter type to allow the invoker of a job to decide what executor it will run on
  • invoke the same job more than once in the workflows stanza of config.yml, passing any necessary parameters as subkeys to the job.
  • If a job is declared inside an orb it can use commands in that orb or the global commands.
  • To use parameters in executors, define the parameters under the given executor.
  • Parameters are in-scope only within the job or command that defined them.
  • A single configuration may invoke a job multiple times.
  • Every job invocation may optionally accept two special arguments: pre-steps and post-steps.
  • Pre and post steps allow you to execute steps in a given job without modifying the job.
  • conditions are checked before a workflow is actually run
  • you cannot use a condition to check an environment variable.
  • Conditional steps may be located anywhere a regular step could and may only use parameter values as inputs.
  • A conditional step consists of a step with the key when or unless. Under this conditional key are the subkeys steps and condition
  • A condition is a single value that evaluates to true or false at the time the config is processed, so you cannot use environment variables as conditions

  • Markup syntax, wrap margins, grammar, capitalization, punctuation.
  • What should it not contain?
  • issue tracking IDs
  • pull request numbers
  • The seven rules of a great Git commit message
  • Use the body to explain what and why vs. how
  • Use the imperative mood in the subject line
  • it’s a good idea to begin the commit message with a single short (less than 50 character) line summarizing the change, followed by a blank line and then a more thorough description.
  • forces the author to think for a moment about the most concise way to explain what’s going on.
  • If you’re having a hard time summarizing, you might be committing too many changes at once.
  • shoot for 50 characters, but consider 72 the hard limit
  • Imperative mood just means “spoken or written as if giving a command or instruction”.
  • Git itself uses the imperative whenever it creates a commit on your behalf.
  • when you write your commit messages in the imperative, you’re following Git’s own built-in conventions.
  • A properly formed Git commit subject line should always be able to complete the following sentence: If applied, this commit will your subject line here
  • explaining what changed and why
  • Code is generally self-explanatory in this regard (and if the code is so complex that it needs to be explained in prose, that’s what source comments are for).
  • there are tab completion scripts that take much of the pain out of remembering the subcommands and switches.

  • instructs Terragrunt to create the file provider.tf in the working directory (where Terragrunt calls terraform) before it calls any of the Terraform commands
  • large modules should be considered harmful.
  • it is a Bad Idea to define all of your environments (dev, stage, prod, etc), or even a large amount of infrastructure (servers, databases, load balancers, DNS, etc), in a single Terraform module.
  • Large modules are slow, insecure, hard to update, hard to code review, hard to test, and brittle (i.e., you have all your eggs in one basket).
  • Terragrunt allows you to define your Terraform code once and to promote a versioned, immutable “artifact” of that exact same code from environment to environment.

docker container devops

shared by 張 旭 on 28 Jun 21 - No Cached
  • LXC (LinuX Containers) is a OS-level virtualization technology that allows creation and running of multiple isolated Linux virtual environments (VE) on a single control host.
  • Docker, previously called dotCloud, was started as a side project and only open-sourced in 2013. It is really an extension of LXC’s capabilities.
  • run processes in isolation.
  • ...35 more annotations...
  • Docker is developed in the Go language and utilizes LXC, cgroups, and the Linux kernel itself. Since it’s based on LXC, a Docker container does not include a separate operating system; instead it relies on the operating system’s own functionality as provided by the underlying infrastructure.
  • Docker acts as a portable container engine, packaging the application and all its dependencies in a virtual container that can run on any Linux server.
  • a VE there is no preloaded emulation manager software as in a VM.
  • In a VE, the application (or OS) is spawned in a container and runs with no added overhead, except for a usually minuscule VE initialization process.
  • LXC will boast bare metal performance characteristics because it only packages the needed applications.
  • the OS is also just another application that can be packaged too.
  • a VM, which packages the entire OS and machine setup, including hard drive, virtual processors and network interfaces. The resulting bloated mass usually takes a long time to boot and consumes a lot of CPU and RAM.
  • don’t offer some other neat features of VM’s such as IaaS setups and live migration.
  • LXC as supercharged chroot on Linux. It allows you to not only isolate applications, but even the entire OS.
  • Libvirt, which allows the use of containers through the LXC driver by connecting to 'lxc:///'.
  • 'LXC', is not compatible with libvirt, but is more flexible with more userspace tools.
  • Portable deployment across machines
  • Versioning: Docker includes git-like capabilities for tracking successive versions of a container
  • Component reuse: Docker allows building or stacking of already created packages.
  • Shared libraries: There is already a public registry (http://index.docker.io/ ) where thousands have already uploaded the useful containers they have created.
  • Docker taking the devops world by storm since its launch back in 2013.
  • LXC, while older, has not been as popular with developers as Docker has proven to be
  • LXC having a focus on sys admins that’s similar to what solutions like the Solaris operating system, with its Solaris Zones, Linux OpenVZ, and FreeBSD, with its BSD Jails virtualization system
  • it started out being built on top of LXC, Docker later moved beyond LXC containers to its own execution environment called libcontainer.
  • Unlike LXC, which launches an operating system init for each container, Docker provides one OS environment, supplied by the Docker Engine
  • LXC tooling sticks close to what system administrators running bare metal servers are used to
  • The LXC command line provides essential commands that cover routine management tasks, including the creation, launch, and deletion of LXC containers.
  • Docker containers aim to be even lighter weight in order to support the fast, highly scalable, deployment of applications with microservice architecture.
  • With backing from Canonical, LXC and LXD have an ecosystem tightly bound to the rest of the open source Linux community.
  • Docker Swarm
  • Docker Trusted Registry
  • Docker Compose
  • Docker Machine
  • Kubernetes facilitates the deployment of containers in your data center by representing a cluster of servers as a single system.
  • Swarm is Docker’s clustering, scheduling and orchestration tool for managing a cluster of Docker hosts. 
  • rkt is a security minded container engine that uses KVM for VM-based isolation and packs other enhanced security features. 
  • Apache Mesos can run different kinds of distributed jobs, including containers. 
  • Elastic Container Service is Amazon’s service for running and orchestrating containerized applications on AWS
  • LXC offers the advantages of a VE on Linux, mainly the ability to isolate your own private workloads from one another. It is a cheaper and faster solution to implement than a VM, but doing so requires a bit of extra learning and expertise.
  • Docker is a significant improvement of LXC’s capabilities.

  • RUN instructions are used to install gems and precompile static assets using sprockets
  • Instead, Docker automatically re-uses the previously built layer for the RUN bundle install instruction if the Gemfile.lock file remains unchanged.
  • everyday we need to build a lot of Docker images containing source code from varying Git branches as well as with varying environments.

  • Files and directories named in the paths: property of persist_to_workspace will be uploaded to the workflow’s temporary workspace relative to the directory specified with the root key.
  • Configure a job to get saved data by configuring the attach_workspace key.
  • persist_to_workspace
  • attach_workspace
  • To rerun only a workflow’s failed jobs, click the Workflows icon in the app and select a workflow to see the status of each job, then click the Rerun button and select Rerun from failed.
  • if you do not see your workflows triggering, a configuration error is preventing the workflow from starting.
  • check your Workflows page of the CircleCI app (not the Job page)

shared by 張 旭 on 13 Nov 18 - No Cached
  • 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.

circle CI

shared by 張 旭 on 14 Nov 18 - No Cached
  • Containers are an instance of the Docker Image you specify and the first image listed in your configuration is the primary container image in which all steps run.
  • In this example, all steps run in the container created by the first image listed under the build job
  • If you experience increases in your run times due to installing additional tools during execution, it is best practice to use the Building Custom Docker Images Documentation to create a custom image with tools that are pre-loaded in the container to meet the job requirements.
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • The machine option runs your jobs in a dedicated, ephemeral VM
  • Using the machine executor gives your application full access to OS resources and provides you with full control over the job environment.
  • Using machine may require additional fees in a future pricing update.
  • Using the macos executor allows you to run your job in a macOS environment on a VM.
  • In a multi-image configuration job, all steps are executed in the container created by the first image listed.
  • All containers run in a common network and every exposed port will be available on localhost from a primary container.
  • If you want to work with private images/registries, please refer to Using Private Images.
  • Docker also has built-in image caching and enables you to build, run, and publish Docker images via Remote Docker.
  • if you require low-level access to the network or need to mount external volumes consider using machine

  • User variables allow your templates to be further configured with variables from the command-line, environment variables, Vault, or files.
  • define it either within the variables section within your template, or using the command-line -var or -var-file flags.
  • If the default value is null, then the user variable will be required.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • User variables are available globally within the rest of the template.
  • The env function is available only within the default value of a user variable, allowing you to default a user variable to an environment variable.
  • As Packer doesn't run inside a shell, it won't expand ~
  • To set user variables from the command line, the -var flag is used as a parameter to packer build (and some other commands).
  • Variables can also be set from an external JSON file. The -var-file flag reads a file containing a key/value mapping of variables to values and sets those variables.
  • -var-file=
  • sensitive variables won't get printed to the logs by adding them to the "sensitive-variables" list within the Packer template

shared by 張 旭 on 12 Apr 19 - No Cached
  • Terraform is an Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tool that allows you to write declarative code to manage your infrastructure.
  • Keeping Secrets Out of .tf Files
  • .tf files contain the declarative code used to create, manage, and destroy infrastructure.
  • ...17 more annotations...
  • .tf files can accept values from input variables.
  • variable definitions can have default values assigned to them.
  • values are stored in separate files with the .tfvars extension.
  • looks through the working directory for a file named terraform.tfvars, or for files with the .auto.tfvars extension.
  • add the terraform.tfvars file to your .gitignore file and keep it out of version control.
  • include an example terraform.tfvars.example in your Git repository with all of the variable names recorded (but none of the values entered).
  • terraform apply -var-file=myvars.tfvars
  • Terraform allows you to keep input variable values in environment variables.
  • the prefix TF_VAR_
  • If Terraform does not find a default value for a defined variable; or a value from a .tfvars file, environment variable, or CLI flag; it will prompt you for a value before running an action
  • state file contains a JSON object that holds your managed infrastructure’s current state
  • state is a snapshot of the various attributes of your infrastructure at the time it was last modified
  • sensitive information used to generate your Terraform state can be stored as plain text in the terraform.tfstate file.
  • Avoid checking your terraform.tfstate file into your version control repository.
  • Some backends, like Consul, also allow for state locking. If one user is applying a state, another user will be unable to make any changes.
  • Terraform backends allow the user to securely store their state in a remote location, such as a key/value store like Consul, or an S3 compatible bucket storage like Minio.
  • at minimum the repository should be private.
