devops server infrastructure

  • 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.

  • 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
  • Ansible is often used in conjunction with Kubernetes and Docker.
  • Linode offers a collection of several Ansible guides for a more comprehensive overview.
  • Pulumi permits the use of a variety of programming languages to deploy and manage infrastructure within a cloud environment.
  • Terraform allows users to provision data center infrastructure using either JSON or Terraform’s own declarative language.
  • Terraform manages resources through the use of providers, which are similar to APIs.

  • In robotics and automation, a control loop is a non-terminating loop that regulates the state of a system.
  • controllers are control loops that watch the state of your cluster, then make or request changes where needed
  • Each controller tries to move the current cluster state closer to the desired state.
  • ...12 more annotations...
  • A controller tracks at least one Kubernetes resource type.
  • The controller(s) for that resource are responsible for making the current state come closer to that desired state.
  • in Kubernetes, a controller will send messages to the API server that have useful side effects.
  • Built-in controllers manage state by interacting with the cluster API server.
  • By contrast with Job, some controllers need to make changes to things outside of your cluster.
  • the controller makes some change to bring about your desired state, and then reports current state back to your cluster's API server. Other control loops can observe that reported data and take their own actions.
  • As long as the controllers for your cluster are running and able to make useful changes, it doesn't matter if the overall state is stable or not.
  • Kubernetes uses lots of controllers that each manage a particular aspect of cluster state.
  • a particular control loop (controller) uses one kind of resource as its desired state, and has a different kind of resource that it manages to make that desired state happen.
  • There can be several controllers that create or update the same kind of object.
  • you can have Deployments and Jobs; these both create Pods. The Job controller does not delete the Pods that your Deployment created, because there is information (labels) the controllers can use to tell those Pods apart.
  • Kubernetes comes with a set of built-in controllers that run inside the kube-controller-manager.

docker container devops

  • Docker isn’t the only container contender on the block.
  • Container Runtime Interface (CRI), which defines an API between Kubernetes and the container runtime
  • Open Container Initiative (OCI) which publishes specifications for images and containers.
  • ...20 more annotations...
  • for a lot of people, the name “Docker” itself is synonymous with the word “container”.
  • Docker created a very ergonomic (nice-to-use) tool for working with containers – also called docker.
  • docker is designed to be installed on a workstation or server and comes with a bunch of tools to make it easy to build and run containers as a developer, or DevOps person.
  • containerd: This is a daemon process that manages and runs containers.
  • runc: This is the low-level container runtime (the thing that actually creates and runs containers).
  • libcontainer, a native Go-based implementation for creating containers.
  • Kubernetes includes a component called dockershim, which allows it to support Docker.
  • Kubernetes prefers to run containers through any container runtime which supports its Container Runtime Interface (CRI).
  • Kubernetes will remove support for Docker directly, and prefer to use only container runtimes that implement its Container Runtime Interface.
  • Both containerd and CRI-O can run Docker-formatted (actually OCI-formatted) images, they just do it without having to use the docker command or the Docker daemon.
  • Docker images, are actually images packaged in the Open Container Initiative (OCI) format.
  • CRI is the API that Kubernetes uses to control the different runtimes that create and manage containers.
  • CRI makes it easier for Kubernetes to use different container runtimes
  • containerd is a high-level container runtime that came from Docker, and implements the CRI spec
  • containerd was separated out of the Docker project, to make Docker more modular.
  • CRI-O is another high-level container runtime which implements the Container Runtime Interface (CRI).
  • The idea behind the OCI is that you can choose between different runtimes which conform to the spec.
  • runc is an OCI-compatible container runtime.
  • A reference implementation is a piece of software that has implemented all the requirements of a specification or standard.
  • runc provides all of the low-level functionality for containers, interacting with existing low-level Linux features, like namespaces and control groups.

terraform devops

shared by 張 旭 on 23 Jan 23 - No Cached
  • Terraform relies on plugins called providers to interact with cloud providers, SaaS providers, and other APIs.
  • Terraform configurations must declare which providers they require so that Terraform can install and use them.
  • Each provider adds a set of resource types and/or data sources that Terraform can manage.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • Every resource type is implemented by a provider; without providers, Terraform can't manage any kind of infrastructure.
  • The Terraform Registry is the main directory of publicly available Terraform providers, and hosts providers for most major infrastructure platforms.
  • Dependency Lock File documents an additional HCL file that can be included with a configuration, which tells Terraform to always use a specific set of provider versions.
  • Terraform CLI finds and installs providers when initializing a working directory. It can automatically download providers from a Terraform registry, or load them from a local mirror or cache.
  • To save time and bandwidth, Terraform CLI supports an optional plugin cache. You can enable the cache using the plugin_cache_dir setting in the CLI configuration file.
  • you can use Terraform CLI to create a dependency lock file and commit it to version control along with your configuration.
