How to Adopt Infrastructure as Code

Editor's Notes

• #6: Half of the top 10,000 We’re now the number one web server for the top 100,000 as well, and climbing fast in every category.
• #9: NGINX Plus gives you all the tools you need to deliver your application reliably. Web Server NGINX is a fully featured web server that can directly serve static content. NGINX Plus can scale to handle hundreds of thousands of clients simultaneously, and serve hundreds of thousands of content resources per second. Application Gateway NGINX handles all HTTP traffic, and forwards requests in a smooth, controlled manner to PHP, Ruby, Java, and other application types, using FastCGI, uWSGI, and linux sockets. Reverse Proxy NGINX is a reverse proxy that you can put in front of your applications. NGINX can cache both static and dynamic content to improve overall performance, as well as load balance traffic enabling you to scale-out.
• #11: “The secret heart of the modern web” Manage instances and services, not server hardware Technologies/workstyle include: Microservices CI/CD Cloud deployment Tools: Docker, Puppet, Chef, GitHub… … and NGINX and NGINX Plus Circuit Breaker pattern
• #12: NGINX Plus extends NGINX with advanced features such as health monitoring, session persistence, and an advanced monitoring interface. NGINX Plus is a complete application delivery platform.
• #13: Problem MuleSoft’s Anypoint Platform™ is a leading integration platform that enables enterprises to easily and securely connect apps, data, and devices.  Mulesoft was already using NGINX F/OSS as a reverse proxy and load balancer in their Anypoint Platform. What they needed was more monitoring capabilities and more configuration flexibility to better handle increasing customer demands. Solution NGINX Plus offered exactly what they needed.  Mulesoft now uses NGINX Plus as their application gateway.  When customers connect to customer.cloudhub.io, NGINX Plus queries Amazon Route 53 with a modified version of the original request to get the appropriate destination for the request. Benefits Fits right in - NGINX Plus easily integrated with their existing infrastructure. There was no need to add or replace hardware. Simplified Security - In the past they had to re-establish SSL at various points across the traffic path. NGINX Plus ensures end-to-end SSL encryption of customer traffic without human intervention. Agility - Using reconfigurable DNS on the backend, the Anypoint Platform can identify relevant characteristics of customer traffic on the fly and proxy it to the appropriate server. Superior support - With the help of NGINX support, MuleSoft was able to quickly implement NGINX Plus with its current infrastructure. AnyPoint Platform NGINX, NGINX Plus, MuleSoft all on AWS Started with NGINX open source Moved to NGINX Plus for monitoring and configuration Support for MuleSoft and customers SSL encryption Saving time and money Improved security Flexibility and performance
• #15: The real challenge is keeping them consistent and up to date as changes are made
• #24: (Sizing and other aspects may differ across environments)
• #25: (Sizing and other aspects may differ across environments)
• #26: (Sizing and other aspects may differ across environments)
• #29: Build stage Compile, test, and package the application (serviceA) Validate the Terraform file (syntax) Validate the Ansible playbook (syntax) Deploy/test stage Run Terraform to build the server and infrastructure Run Ansible to deploy and configure the application Run a simple smoketest to prove deployment worked Run rspec to test the application and infrastructure QA stage Same as deploy/test Manually start the deployment Manually carry out testing Production stage Same as deploy/test and QA Manually start the deployment
• #34: Teams want to change and deploy separately
