  • ...12 more annotations...
  • The config contains configuration information that can be merged into a packaged chart to create a releasable object.
  • A release is a running instance of a chart, combined with a specific config.
  • The Helm Client is a command-line client for end users.
  • Interacting with the Tiller server
  • The Tiller Server is an in-cluster server that interacts with the Helm client, and interfaces with the Kubernetes API server.
  • Combining a chart and configuration to build a release
  • Installing charts into Kubernetes, and then tracking the subsequent release
  • the client is responsible for managing charts, and the server is responsible for managing releases.
  • The Helm client is written in the Go programming language, and uses the gRPC protocol suite to interact with the Tiller server.
  • The Tiller server is also written in Go. It provides a gRPC server to connect with the client, and it uses the Kubernetes client library to communicate with Kubernetes.
  • The Tiller server stores information in ConfigMaps located inside of Kubernetes.
  • Configuration files are, when possible, written in YAML.

Introduction to GitLab Flow | GitLab - 0 views

  • 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.

Introducing Infrastructure as Code | Linode - 0 views

  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is a technique for deploying and managing infrastructure using software, configuration files, and automated tools.
  • With the older methods, technicians must configure a device manually, perhaps with the aid of an interactive tool. Information is added to configuration files by hand or through the use of ad-hoc scripts. Configuration wizards and similar utilities are helpful, but they still require hands-on management. A small group of experts owns the expertise, the process is typically poorly defined, and errors are common.
  • The development of the continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline made the idea of treating infrastructure as software much more attractive.
  • ...20 more annotations...
  • Infrastructure as Code takes advantage of the software development process, making use of quality assurance and test automation techniques.
  • Consistency/Standardization
  • Each node in the network becomes what is known as a snowflake, with its own unique settings. This leads to a system state that cannot easily be reproduced and is difficult to debug.
  • With standard configuration files and software-based configuration, there is greater consistency between all equipment of the same type. A key IaC concept is idempotence.
  • Idempotence makes it easy to troubleshoot, test, stabilize, and upgrade all the equipment.
  • Infrastructure as Code is central to the culture of DevOps, which is a mix of development and operations
  • edits are always made to the source configuration files, never on the target.
  • A declarative approach describes the final state of a device, but does not mandate how it should get there. The specific IaC tool makes all the procedural decisions. The end state is typically defined through a configuration file, a JSON specification, or a similar encoding.
  • An imperative approach defines specific functions or procedures that must be used to configure the device. It focuses on what must happen, but does not necessarily describe the final state. Imperative techniques typically use scripts for the implementation.
  • With a push configuration, the central server pushes the configuration to the destination device.
  • If a device is mutable, its configuration can be changed while it is active
  • Immutable devices cannot be changed. They must be decommissioned or rebooted and then completely rebuilt.
  • an immutable approach ensures consistency and avoids drift. However, it usually takes more time to remove or rebuild a configuration than it does to change it.
  • System administrators should consider security issues as part of the development process.
  • Ansible is a very popular open source IaC application from Red Hat
  • 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.

LXC vs Docker: Why Docker is Better | UpGuard - 0 views

  • 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.

Full Cycle Developers at Netflix - Operate What You Build - 1 views

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

    "Flood fill, also called seed fill, is an algorithm that determines the area connected to a given node in a multi-dimensional array. It is used in the "bucket" fill tool of paint programs to fill connected, similarly-colored areas with a different color, and in games such as Go and Minesweeper for determining which pieces are cleared. When applied on an image to fill a particular bounded area with color, it is also known as boundary fill."
