Serverless Architectures - 0 views

  • Serverless was first used to describe applications that significantly or fully depend on 3rd party applications / services (‘in the cloud’) to manage server-side logic and state.
  • ‘rich client’ applications (think single page web apps, or mobile apps) that use the vast ecosystem of cloud accessible databases (like Parse, Firebase), authentication services (Auth0, AWS Cognito), etc.
  • ‘(Mobile) Backend as a Service’
  • ...33 more annotations...
  • Serverless can also mean applications where some amount of server-side logic is still written by the application developer but unlike traditional architectures is run in stateless compute containers that are event-triggered, ephemeral (may only last for one invocation), and fully managed by a 3rd party.
  • ‘Functions as a service
  • AWS Lambda is one of the most popular implementations of FaaS at present,
  • A good example is Auth0 - they started initially with BaaS ‘Authentication as a Service’, but with Auth0 Webtask they are entering the FaaS space.
  • a typical ecommerce app
  • a backend data-processing service
  • with zero administration.
  • FaaS offerings do not require coding to a specific framework or library.
  • Horizontal scaling is completely automatic, elastic, and managed by the provider
  • Functions in FaaS are triggered by event types defined by the provider.
  • a FaaS-supported message broker
  • from a deployment-unit point of view FaaS functions are stateless.
  • allowed the client direct access to a subset of our database
  • deleted the authentication logic in the original application and have replaced it with a third party BaaS service
  • The client is in fact well on its way to becoming a Single Page Application.
  • implement a FaaS function that responds to http requests via an API Gateway
  • port the search code from the Pet Store server to the Pet Store Search function
  • replaced a long lived consumer application with a FaaS function that runs within the event driven context
  • server applications - is a key difference when comparing with other modern architectural trends like containers and PaaS
  • the only code that needs to change when moving to FaaS is the ‘main method / startup’ code, in that it is deleted, and likely the specific code that is the top-level message handler (the ‘message listener interface’ implementation), but this might only be a change in method signature
  • With FaaS you need to write the function ahead of time to assume parallelism
  • Most providers also allow functions to be triggered as a response to inbound http requests, typically in some kind of API gateway
  • you should assume that for any given invocation of a function none of the in-process or host state that you create will be available to any subsequent invocation.
  • FaaS functions are either naturally stateless
  • store state across requests or for further input to handle a request.
  • certain classes of long lived task are not suited to FaaS functions without re-architecture
  • if you were writing a low-latency trading application you probably wouldn’t want to use FaaS systems at this time
  • An API Gateway is an HTTP server where routes / endpoints are defined in configuration and each route is associated with a FaaS function.
  • API Gateway will allow mapping from http request parameters to inputs arguments for the FaaS function
  • API Gateways may also perform authentication, input validation, response code mapping, etc.
  • the Serverless Framework makes working with API Gateway + Lambda significantly easier than using the first principles provided by AWS.
  • Apex - a project to ‘Build, deploy, and manage AWS Lambda functions with ease.'
  • 'Serverless' to mean the union of a couple of other ideas - 'Backend as a Service' and 'Functions as a Service'.

Rails Routing from the Outside In - Ruby on Rails Guides - 0 views

  • Resource routing allows you to quickly declare all of the common routes for a given resourceful controller.
  • Rails would dispatch that request to the destroy method on the photos controller with { id: '17' } in params.
  • a resourceful route provides a mapping between HTTP verbs and URLs to controller actions.
  • ...86 more annotations...
  • each action also maps to particular CRUD operations in a database
  • resource :photo and resources :photos creates both singular and plural routes that map to the same controller (PhotosController).
  • One way to avoid deep nesting (as recommended above) is to generate the collection actions scoped under the parent, so as to get a sense of the hierarchy, but to not nest the member actions.
  • to only build routes with the minimal amount of information to uniquely identify the resource
  • The shallow method of the DSL creates a scope inside of which every nesting is shallow
  • These concerns can be used in resources to avoid code duplication and share behavior across routes
  • add a member route, just add a member block into the resource block
  • You can leave out the :on option, this will create the same member route except that the resource id value will be available in params[:photo_id] instead of params[:id].
  • Singular Resources
  • use a singular resource to map /profile (rather than /profile/:id) to the show action
  • Passing a String to get will expect a controller#action format
  • workaround
  • organize groups of controllers under a namespace
  • route /articles (without the prefix /admin) to Admin::ArticlesController
  • route /admin/articles to ArticlesController (without the Admin:: module prefix)
  • Nested routes allow you to capture this relationship in your routing.
  • helpers take an instance of Magazine as the first parameter (magazine_ads_url(@magazine)).
  • Resources should never be nested more than 1 level deep.
  • via the :shallow option
  • a balance between descriptive routes and deep nesting
  • :shallow_path prefixes member paths with the specified parameter
  • Routing Concerns allows you to declare common routes that can be reused inside other resources and routes
  • Rails can also create paths and URLs from an array of parameters.
  • use url_for with a set of objects
  • In helpers like link_to, you can specify just the object in place of the full url_for call
  • insert the action name as the first element of the array
  • This will recognize /photos/1/preview with GET, and route to the preview action of PhotosController, with the resource id value passed in params[:id]. It will also create the preview_photo_url and preview_photo_path helpers.
  • pass :on to a route, eliminating the block:
  • Collection Routes
  • This will enable Rails to recognize paths such as /photos/search with GET, and route to the search action of PhotosController. It will also create the search_photos_url and search_photos_path route helpers.
  • simple routing makes it very easy to map legacy URLs to new Rails actions
  • add an alternate new action using the :on shortcut
  • When you set up a regular route, you supply a series of symbols that Rails maps to parts of an incoming HTTP request.
  • :controller maps to the name of a controller in your application
  • :action maps to the name of an action within that controller
  • optional parameters, denoted by parentheses
  • This route will also route the incoming request of /photos to PhotosController#index, since :action and :id are
  • use a constraint on :controller that matches the namespace you require
  • dynamic segments don't accept dots
  • The params will also include any parameters from the query string
  • :defaults option.
  • set params[:format] to "jpg"
  • cannot override defaults via query parameters
  • specify a name for any route using the :as option
  • create logout_path and logout_url as named helpers in your application.
  • Inside the show action of UsersController, params[:username] will contain the username for the user.
  • should use the get, post, put, patch and delete methods to constrain a route to a particular verb.
  • use the match method with the :via option to match multiple verbs at once
  • Routing both GET and POST requests to a single action has security implications
  • 'GET' in Rails won't check for CSRF token. You should never write to the database from 'GET' requests
  • use the :constraints option to enforce a format for a dynamic segment
  • constraints
  • don't need to use anchors
  • Request-Based Constraints
  • the same name as the hash key and then compare the return value with the hash value.
  • constraint values should match the corresponding Request object method return type

      這裡有點複雜 ...
  • redirect helper
  • reuse dynamic segments from the match in the path to redirect
  • this redirection is a 301 "Moved Permanently" redirect.
  • root method
  • put the root route at the top of the file
  • The root route only routes GET requests to the action.
  • root inside namespaces and scopes
  • For namespaced controllers you can use the directory notation
  • Only the directory notation is supported
  • use the :constraints option to specify a required format on the implicit id
  • specify a single constraint to apply to a number of routes by using the block
  • non-resourceful routes
  • :id parameter doesn't accept dots
  • :as option lets you override the normal naming for the named route helpers
  • use the :as option to prefix the named route helpers that Rails generates for a rout
  • prevent name collisions
  • prefix routes with a named parameter
  • This will provide you with URLs such as /bob/articles/1 and will allow you to reference the username part of the path as params[:username] in controllers, helpers and views
  • :only option
  • :except option
  • generate only the routes that you actually need can cut down on memory use and speed up the routing process.
  • alter path names
  • http://localhost:3000/rails/info/routes
  • rake routes
  • setting the CONTROLLER environment variable
  • Routes should be included in your testing strategy

The Asset Pipeline - Ruby on Rails Guides - 0 views

  • provides a framework to concatenate and minify or compress JavaScript and CSS assets
  • adds the ability to write these assets in other languages and pre-processors such as CoffeeScript, Sass and ERB
  • invalidate the cache by altering this fingerprint
  • ...80 more annotations...
  • Rails 4 automatically adds the sass-rails, coffee-rails and uglifier gems to your Gemfile
  • reduce the number of requests that a browser makes to render a web page
  • Starting with version 3.1, Rails defaults to concatenating all JavaScript files into one master .js file and all CSS files into one master .css file
  • In production, Rails inserts an MD5 fingerprint into each filename so that the file is cached by the web browser
  • The technique sprockets uses for fingerprinting is to insert a hash of the content into the name, usually at the end.
  • asset minification or compression
  • The sass-rails gem is automatically used for CSS compression if included in Gemfile and no config.assets.css_compressor option is set.
  • Supported languages include Sass for CSS, CoffeeScript for JavaScript, and ERB for both by default.
  • When a filename is unique and based on its content, HTTP headers can be set to encourage caches everywhere (whether at CDNs, at ISPs, in networking equipment, or in web browsers) to keep their own copy of the content
  • asset pipeline is technically no longer a core feature of Rails 4
  • Rails uses for fingerprinting is to insert a hash of the content into the name, usually at the end
  • With the asset pipeline, the preferred location for these assets is now the app/assets directory.
  • Fingerprinting is enabled by default for production and disabled for all other environments
  • The files in app/assets are never served directly in production.
  • Paths are traversed in the order that they occur in the search path
  • You should use app/assets for files that must undergo some pre-processing before they are served.
  • By default .coffee and .scss files will not be precompiled on their own
  • app/assets is for assets that are owned by the application, such as custom images, JavaScript files or stylesheets.
  • lib/assets is for your own libraries' code that doesn't really fit into the scope of the application or those libraries which are shared across applications.
  • vendor/assets is for assets that are owned by outside entities, such as code for JavaScript plugins and CSS frameworks.
  • Any path under assets/* will be searched
  • By default these files will be ready to use by your application immediately using the require_tree directive.
  • By default, this means the files in app/assets take precedence, and will mask corresponding paths in lib and vendor
  • Sprockets uses files named index (with the relevant extensions) for a special purpose
  • Rails.application.config.assets.paths
  • causes turbolinks to check if an asset has been updated and if so loads it into the page
  • if you add an erb extension to a CSS asset (for example, application.css.erb), then helpers like asset_path are available in your CSS rules
  • If you add an erb extension to a JavaScript asset, making it something such as application.js.erb, then you can use the asset_path helper in your JavaScript code
  • The asset pipeline automatically evaluates ERB
  • data URI — a method of embedding the image data directly into the CSS file — you can use the asset_data_uri helper.
  • Sprockets will also look through the paths specified in config.assets.paths, which includes the standard application paths and any paths added by Rails engines.
  • image_tag
  • the closing tag cannot be of the style -%>
  • asset_data_uri
  • app/assets/javascripts/application.js
  • sass-rails provides -url and -path helpers (hyphenated in Sass, underscored in Ruby) for the following asset classes: image, font, video, audio, JavaScript and stylesheet.
  • Rails.application.config.assets.compress
  • In JavaScript files, the directives begin with //=
  • The require_tree directive tells Sprockets to recursively include all JavaScript files in the specified directory into the output.
  • manifest files contain directives — instructions that tell Sprockets which files to require in order to build a single CSS or JavaScript file.
  • You should not rely on any particular order among those
  • Sprockets uses manifest files to determine which assets to include and serve.
  • the family of require directives prevents files from being included twice in the output
  • which files to require in order to build a single CSS or JavaScript file
  • Directives are processed top to bottom, but the order in which files are included by require_tree is unspecified.
  • In JavaScript files, Sprockets directives begin with //=
  • If require_self is called more than once, only the last call is respected.
  • require directive is used to tell Sprockets the files you wish to require.
  • You need not supply the extensions explicitly. Sprockets assumes you are requiring a .js file when done from within a .js file
  • paths must be specified relative to the manifest file
  • require_directory
  • Rails 4 creates both app/assets/javascripts/application.js and app/assets/stylesheets/application.css regardless of whether the --skip-sprockets option is used when creating a new rails application.
  • The file extensions used on an asset determine what preprocessing is applied.
  • app/assets/stylesheets/application.css
  • Additional layers of preprocessing can be requested by adding other extensions, where each extension is processed in a right-to-left manner
  • require_self
  • use the Sass @import rule instead of these Sprockets directives.
  • Keep in mind that the order of these preprocessors is important
  • In development mode, assets are served as separate files in the order they are specified in the manifest file.
  • when these files are requested they are processed by the processors provided by the coffee-script and sass gems and then sent back to the browser as JavaScript and CSS respectively.
  • css.scss.erb
  • js.coffee.erb
  • Keep in mind the order of these preprocessors is important.
  • By default Rails assumes that assets have been precompiled and will be served as static assets by your web server
  • with the Asset Pipeline the :cache and :concat options aren't used anymore
  • Assets are compiled and cached on the first request after the server is started
  • RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake assets:precompile
  • Debug mode can also be enabled in Rails helper methods
  • If you set config.assets.initialize_on_precompile to false, be sure to test rake assets:precompile locally before deploying
  • By default Rails assumes assets have been precompiled and will be served as static assets by your web server.
  • a rake task to compile the asset manifests and other files in the pipeline
  • RAILS_ENV=production bin/rake assets:precompile
  • a recipe to handle this in deployment
  • links the folder specified in config.assets.prefix to shared/assets
  • config/initializers/assets.rb
  • The initialize_on_precompile change tells the precompile task to run without invoking Rails
  • The X-Sendfile header is a directive to the web server to ignore the response from the application, and instead serve a specified file from disk
  • the jquery-rails gem which comes with Rails as the standard JavaScript library gem.
  • Possible options for JavaScript compression are :closure, :uglifier and :yui
  • concatenate assets

  • 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

  • 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

  • Simple Form will fallback to default human_attribute_name from Rails when no other translation is found for labels.
  • Simple Form will only do the lookup for options if you give a collection composed of symbols only.
  • "Add %{model}"
  • translations for labels, hints and placeholders for a namespaced model, e.g. Admin::User, should be placed under admin_user, not under admin/user
  • This difference exists because Simple Form relies on object_name provided by Rails' FormBuilder to determine the translation path for a given object instead of i18n_key from the object itself.
  • configure how your components will be rendered using the wrappers API
  • optional
  • unless_blank
  • By default, Simple Form will generate input field types and attributes that are supported in HTML5
  • The HTML5 extensions include the new field types such as email, number, search, url, tel, and the new attributes such as required, autofocus, maxlength, min, max, step.
  • If you want to have all other HTML 5 features, such as the new field types, you can disable only the browser validation
  • add novalidate to a specific form by setting the option on the form itself

Kubernetes Components | Kubernetes - 0 views

  • A Kubernetes cluster consists of a set of worker machines, called nodes, that run containerized applications
  • Every cluster has at least one worker node.
  • The control plane manages the worker nodes and the Pods in the cluster.
  • ...29 more annotations...
  • The control plane's components make global decisions about the cluster
  • Control plane components can be run on any machine in the cluster.
  • for simplicity, set up scripts typically start all control plane components on the same machine, and do not run user containers on this machine
  • The API server is the front end for the Kubernetes control plane.
  • kube-apiserver is designed to scale horizontally—that is, it scales by deploying more instances. You can run several instances of kube-apiserver and balance traffic between those instances.
  • Kubernetes cluster uses etcd as its backing store, make sure you have a back up plan for those data.
  • watches for newly created Pods with no assigned node, and selects a node for them to run on.
  • Factors taken into account for scheduling decisions include: individual and collective resource requirements, hardware/software/policy constraints, affinity and anti-affinity specifications, data locality, inter-workload interference, and deadlines.
  • each controller is a separate process, but to reduce complexity, they are all compiled into a single binary and run in a single process.
  • Node controller
  • Job controller
  • Endpoints controller
  • Service Account & Token controllers
  • The cloud controller manager lets you link your cluster into your cloud provider's API, and separates out the components that interact with that cloud platform from components that only interact with your cluster.
  • If you are running Kubernetes on your own premises, or in a learning environment inside your own PC, the cluster does not have a cloud controller manager.
  • An agent that runs on each node in the cluster. It makes sure that containers are running in a Pod.
  • The kubelet takes a set of PodSpecs that are provided through various mechanisms and ensures that the containers described in those PodSpecs are running and healthy.
  • The kubelet doesn't manage containers which were not created by Kubernetes.
  • kube-proxy is a network proxy that runs on each node in your cluster, implementing part of the Kubernetes Service concept.
  • kube-proxy maintains network rules on nodes. These network rules allow network communication to your Pods from network sessions inside or outside of your cluster.
  • kube-proxy uses the operating system packet filtering layer if there is one and it's available.
  • Kubernetes supports several container runtimes: Docker, containerd, CRI-O, and any implementation of the Kubernetes CRI (Container Runtime Interface).
  • Addons use Kubernetes resources (DaemonSet, Deployment, etc) to implement cluster features
  • namespaced resources for addons belong within the kube-system namespace.
  • all Kubernetes clusters should have cluster DNS,
  • Cluster DNS is a DNS server, in addition to the other DNS server(s) in your environment, which serves DNS records for Kubernetes services.
  • Containers started by Kubernetes automatically include this DNS server in their DNS searches.
  • Container Resource Monitoring records generic time-series metrics about containers in a central database, and provides a UI for browsing that data.
  • A cluster-level logging mechanism is responsible for saving container logs to a central log store with search/browsing interface.

Getting Started with Rails - Ruby on Rails Guides - 0 views

  • A controller's purpose is to receive specific requests for the application.
  • Routing decides which controller receives which requests
  • The view should just display that information
  • ...55 more annotations...
  • view templates are written in a language called ERB (Embedded Ruby) which is converted by the request cycle in Rails before being sent to the user.
  • Each action's purpose is to collect information to provide it to a view.
  • A view's purpose is to display this information in a human readable format.
  • routing file which holds entries in a special DSL (domain-specific language) that tells Rails how to connect incoming requests to controllers and actions.
  • You can create, read, update and destroy items for a resource and these operations are referred to as CRUD operations
  • A controller is simply a class that is defined to inherit from ApplicationController.
  • If not found, then it will attempt to load a template called application/new. It looks for one here because the PostsController inherits from ApplicationController
  • :formats specifies the format of template to be served in response. The default format is :html, and so Rails is looking for an HTML template.
  • :handlers, is telling us what template handlers could be used to render our template.
  • When you call form_for, you pass it an identifying object for this form. In this case, it's the symbol :post. This tells the form_for helper what this form is for.
  • that the action attribute for the form is pointing at /posts/new
  • When a form is submitted, the fields of the form are sent to Rails as parameters.
  • parameters can then be referenced inside the controller actions, typically to perform a particular task
  • params method is the object which represents the parameters (or fields) coming in from the form.
  • Active Record is smart enough to automatically map column names to model attributes,
  • Rails uses rake commands to run migrations, and it's possible to undo a migration after it's been applied to your database
  • every Rails model can be initialized with its respective attributes, which are automatically mapped to the respective database columns.
  • migration creates a method named change which will be called when you run this migration.
  • The action defined in this method is also reversible, which means Rails knows how to reverse the change made by this migration, in case you want to reverse it later
  • Migration filenames include a timestamp to ensure that they're processed in the order that they were created.
  • @post.save returns a boolean indicating whether the model was saved or not.
  • prevents an attacker from setting the model's attributes by manipulating the hash passed to the model.
  • If you want to link to an action in the same controller, you don't need to specify the :controller option, as Rails will use the current controller by default.
  • inherits from ActiveRecord::Base
  • Active Record supplies a great deal of functionality to your Rails models for free, including basic database CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Destroy) operations, data validation, as well as sophisticated search support and the ability to relate multiple models to one another.
  • Rails includes methods to help you validate the data that you send to models
  • Rails can validate a variety of conditions in a model, including the presence or uniqueness of columns, their format, and the existence of associated objects.
  • redirect_to will tell the browser to issue another request.
  • rendering is done within the same request as the form submission
  • Each request for a comment has to keep track of the post to which the comment is attached, thus the initial call to the find method of the Post model to get the post in question.
  • pluralize is a rails helper that takes a number and a string as its arguments. If the number is greater than one, the string will be automatically pluralized.
  • The render method is used so that the @post object is passed back to the new template when it is rendered.
  • The method: :patch option tells Rails that we want this form to be submitted via the PATCH HTTP method which is the HTTP method you're expected to use to update resources according to the REST protocol.
  • it accepts a hash containing the attributes that you want to update.
  • field_with_errors. You can define a css rule to make them standout
  • belongs_to :post, which sets up an Active Record association
  • creates comments as a nested resource within posts
  • call destroy on Active Record objects when you want to delete them from the database.
  • Rails allows you to use the dependent option of an association to achieve this.
  • store all external data as UTF-8
  • you're better off ensuring that all external data is UTF-8
  • use UTF-8 as the internal storage of your database
  • Rails defaults to converting data from your database into UTF-8 at the boundary.
  • :patch
  • By default forms built with the form_for helper are sent via POST
  • The :method and :'data-confirm' options are used as HTML5 attributes so that when the link is clicked, Rails will first show a confirm dialog to the user, and then submit the link with method delete. This is done via the JavaScript file jquery_ujs which is automatically included into your application's layout (app/views/layouts/application.html.erb) when you generated the application.
  • Without this file, the confirmation dialog box wouldn't appear.
  • just defines the partial template we want to render
  • As the render method iterates over the @post.comments collection, it assigns each comment to

  • 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).

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

Understanding Nginx Server and Location Block Selection Algorithms | DigitalOcean - 0 views

  • A server block is a subset of Nginx’s configuration that defines a virtual server used to handle requests of a defined type. Administrators often configure multiple server blocks and decide which block should handle which connection based on the requested domain name, port, and IP address.
  • A location block lives within a server block and is used to define how Nginx should handle requests for different resources and URIs for the parent server. The URI space can be subdivided in whatever way the administrator likes using these blocks. It is an extremely flexible model.
  • Nginx logically divides the configurations meant to serve different content into blocks, which live in a hierarchical structure. Each time a client request is made, Nginx begins a process of determining which configuration blocks should be used to handle the request.
  • ...37 more annotations...
  • Nginx is one of the most popular web servers in the world. It can successfully handle high loads with many concurrent client connections, and can easily function as a web server, a mail server, or a reverse proxy server.
  • The main server block directives that Nginx is concerned with during this process are the listen directive, and the server_name directive.
  • The listen directive typically defines which IP address and port that the server block will respond to.
  • 0.0.0.0:8080 if Nginx is being run by a normal, non-root user
  • Nginx translates all “incomplete” listen directives by substituting missing values with their default values so that each block can be evaluated by its IP address and port.
  • In any case, the port must be matched exactly.
  • If there are multiple server blocks with the same level of specificity matching, Nginx then begins to evaluate the server_name directive of each server block.
  • Nginx will only evaluate the server_name directive when it needs to distinguish between server blocks that match to the same level of specificity in the listen directive.
  • Nginx checks the request’s “Host” header. This value holds the domain or IP address that the client was actually trying to reach.
  • Nginx will first try to find a server block with a server_name that matches the value in the “Host” header of the request exactly.
  • If no exact match is found, Nginx will then try to find a server block with a server_name that matches using a leading wildcard (indicated by a * at the beginning of the name in the config).
  • If no match is found using a leading wildcard, Nginx then looks for a server block with a server_name that matches using a trailing wildcard (indicated by a server name ending with a * in the config)
  • If no match is found using a trailing wildcard, Nginx then evaluates server blocks that define the server_name using regular expressions (indicated by a ~ before the name).
  • If no regular expression match is found, Nginx then selects the default server block for that IP address and port.
  • There can be only one default_server declaration per each IP address/port combination.
  • Location blocks live within server blocks (or other location blocks) and are used to decide how to process the request URI (the part of the request that comes after the domain name or IP address/port).
  • If no modifiers are present, the location is interpreted as a prefix match.
  • =: If an equal sign is used, this block will be considered a match if the request URI exactly matches the location given.
  • ~: If a tilde modifier is present, this location will be interpreted as a case-sensitive regular expression match.
  • ~*: If a tilde and asterisk modifier is used, the location block will be interpreted as a case-insensitive regular expression match.
  • ^~: If a carat and tilde modifier is present, and if this block is selected as the best non-regular expression match, regular expression matching will not take place.
  • Keep in mind that if this block is selected and the request is fulfilled using an index page, an internal redirect will take place to another location that will be the actual handler of the request
  • Keeping in mind the types of location declarations we described above, Nginx evaluates the possible location contexts by comparing the request URI to each of the locations.
  • Nginx begins by checking all prefix-based location matches (all location types not involving a regular expression).
  • First, Nginx looks for an exact match.
  • If no exact (with the = modifier) location block matches are found, Nginx then moves on to evaluating non-exact prefixes.
  • After the longest matching prefix location is determined and stored, Nginx moves on to evaluating the regular expression locations (both case sensitive and insensitive).
  • by default, Nginx will serve regular expression matches in preference to prefix matches.
  • regular expression matches within the longest prefix match will “jump the line” when Nginx evaluates regex locations.
  • The exceptions to the “only one location block” rule may have implications on how the request is actually served and may not align with the expectations you had when designing your location blocks.
  • The index directive always leads to an internal redirect if it is used to handle the request.
  • In the case above, if you really need the execution to stay in the first block, you will have to come up with a different method of satisfying the request to the directory.
  • one way of preventing an index from switching contexts, but it’s probably not useful for most configurations
  • the try_files directive. This directive tells Nginx to check for the existence of a named set of files or directories.
  • the rewrite directive. When using the last parameter with the rewrite directive, or when using no parameter at all, Nginx will search for a new matching location based on the results of the rewrite.
  • The error_page directive can lead to an internal redirect similar to that created by try_files.
  • when certain status codes are encountered.
