Automated Infrastructure and Application Management
- 1. 1 Automated Infrastructure and Application Management Clark Everetts, Zend Technologies, Inc. ZendCon - 30 Oct 2014
- 2. 2 Hi! Clark Everetts • Zend Technologies, Inc. • Sr. Professional Services Consultant – Software Architecture Audits / Performance Audits – Continuous Delivery Assessments – Migrations (PHP, ZF, etc.) – Training: PHP, ZF • Past Life: missile interceptor launch control ; C&DH for International Space Station • Co-author with Michael Kimsal of php/architect’s PHP Job Hunter’s Handbook Enough about me…
- 3. 3 SO, WHAT’S YOUR PROBLEM?
- 4. 4 Managing application infrastructure / apps • Server maintenance/repair, application deployments • Often manual process • Dependencies, multiple people needed • Tedious • Error prone • Late nights troubleshooting self-inflicted wounds If your process is manual, at best it will be slow. At worst, it will be a living nightmare.
- 5. 5 Stop the Madness! Automate! Standardize, Make Repeatable & Reliable, Process: • Well-understood, built through collaboration • Controlled through Versioning • Testable in safe environments • Infrastructure Solution: Chef Cookbook • App Deployment Solution: CLI Client SDK • Server and Application Management Solution: WebAPI Zend Patterns offers Open-Source Plugins for Zend Server-based Infrastructures
- 6. 6 Presentation Goals What are we going to do today? • Look at Zend Patterns on GitHub - https://github.com/zend-patterns • Set up a Zend Server-based development environment using ZendServerChefCookbook • Deploy, (time-permitting: Update, Rollback) an Application using ZendServerSDK • Time-permitting: Get information about the application using ZendServerWebApiModule (here, via ZendServerSDK) Open Plugins for Zend Server-based Infrastructures
- 7. 7 GITHUB TOUR: ZEND PATTERNS
- 9. 9 Development Environment: ZendServerChefCookbook Prerequisite Steps: • Install Vagrant - http://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/installation/index.html • Install / update relevant Vagrant Plugins: – vagrant-cachier (https://github.com/fgrehm/vagrant-cachier) – vagrant-omnibus (https://github.com/opscode/vagrant-omnibus) – vagrant-* (https://github.com/mitchellh?tab=repositories) – Check for new plugins and also run vagrant plugin update • Install VirtualBox (https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads) • Or, VMWare Fusion/Workstation, Docker, (Hyper-V - Avail. w/ Windows 8.1) – requires inexpensive plugin from Hashicorp. • Install Chef (next slide)
- 10. 10 Development Environment: ZendServerChefCookbook Install Chef on Your “Workstation”: • System Requirements (https://docs.getchef.com/chef_system_requirements.html) • Supported Platforms (https://docs.getchef.com/supported_platforms.html) • https://www.getchef.com/chef/choose-your-version/ • http://downloads.getchef.com/ • Chef Development Kit (http://www.getchef.com/downloads/chef-dk/) – chef CLI tool, Client, Zero, Knife, Ohai, Berkshelf, Test Kitchen, ChefSpec, FoodCritic – Omnibus Installer (https://docs.getchef.com/install_omnibus.html) • ZendServerChefCookbook (https://github.com/zend-patterns/ ZendServerChefCookbook)
- 11. 11 Development Environment: ZendServerChefCookbook Prerequisites for Node VM: • Vagrant Base Box • Chef • One way to get started is to get a Chef box from VagrantCloud – https://vagrantcloud.com/chef – https://github.com/opscode/bento – https://github.com/opscode/vagrant-omnibus – Can also create a base box • E.g., config.vm.box = "ubuntu/trusty64“ • Configure Cookbook (sit tight; we’ll see it soon)
- 12. 12 Development Environment: ZendServerChefCookbook Need a vagrant box with Chef • Get a box without Chef and install the desired version yourself • Install Chef • One way to get started is to get a Chef box from VagrantCloud – https://vagrantcloud.com/chef – https://github.com/opscode/bento – https://github.com/opscode/vagrant-omnibus
- 13. 13 Development Environment: Vagrant and Chef Where to get a vagrant box with Chef? • Vagrant can be instructed to install Chef at runtime using the vagrant-omnibus plugin – https://vagrantcloud.com/chef (in a catalog, updated easily) • https://github.com/opscode/bento (Packer templates) • https://github.com/opscode/vagrant-omnibus • Download chef/ubuntu-14.04 • Get a box with Chef already included in the base box – https://vagrantcloud.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&sort=&p rovider=&q=chef • Can also download or create a base box yourself – https://vagrantcloud.com/ffuenf/boxes/ubuntu-14.04-server-amd64 – E.g., config.vm.box = "ubuntu/trusty64“
- 14. 14 Development Environment: Vagrant Providers If you chose the current title layout you should use it in all the slides layout: • VirtualBox (part of core) • AWS (ships in vagrant-aws plugin) • Rackspace (ships in vagrant-rackspace plugin) • VMWare Fusion ($79, 2 computers, purchase from Hashicorp) • LXC (ships in vagrant-lxc) • OpenStack (ships in vagrant-openstack-plugin) • Digital Ocean (ships in vagrant-digitalocean) • Parallels Desktop (ships in vagrant-parallels) • Google Compute Engine (shell, Chef, Puppet) Vagrant is an ever-growing ecosystem, supporting standalone and cloud.
- 15. 15 Vagrant Cachier A “common package cache among similar VM instances”: • http://fgrehm.viewdocs.io/vagrant-cachier • Run vagrant plugin install vagrant-cachier • Providers known to work (others might): – Vagrant's built in VirtualBox and Docker providers – vagrant-lxc – VMware providers with NFS enabled – vagrant-libvirt – vagrant-kvm
- 16. 16 COOKBOOK IN ACTION
- 17. 17 DEPLOYMENT WITH ZENDSERVERSDK
- 18. 18 What is this ZendServerSDK, anyway? ZF2 CLI application for: • Creating zpk (deployment packages) • Accessing WebAPI via command line • WebAPI – http://files.zend.com/help/Zend-Server/zend-server. htm#web_api_reference_guide.htm • ZendServerSDK – https://github.com/zend-patterns/ZendServerSDK • Let’s take a look… (github and in action)
- 19. 19 ZendServerWebApiModule ZF2 Module for accessing Zend Server’s WebAPI • Everything in the GUI is really just a front-end to API calls – https://github.com/zend-patterns/ZendServerWebApiModule • Let’s take a look… (github and in action)
- 20. 20 Bye! Clark Everetts • clark.e@zend.com • @clarkphp • https://github.com/clarkphp • I will add a repository for this talk (with the code to create the VM image, and an updated version of these slides) to the above github account. • The slides will be available (and updated) on Slideshare/SpeakerDeck. Rate the talk at https://joind.in/12206 And…keep in touch!
