Ubuntu and the Cloud...

http://cloud.ubuntu.com/2011/10/ubuntu-cloud-live/

Ubuntu Orchestra

JUJU using LXC on a Laptop .. can run it in virtulization.. openstack or EC2.... 

In the front of the stage, we have a portable rack of servers (a 40-core Intel Emerald Ridge, a 24-core HP Proliant, a 16-core Dell Precision, with a System76 local Ubuntu mirror, and Cisco networking hardware).  We've used Ubuntu Orchestra to remotely install the systems, and we've deployed OpenStack to the rack.  Once OpenStack is running, Clint has a series of Hadoop jobs that he spins up and runs against dozens of instances on the local Nova compute node.  And for the real whiz-bang, Clint uses gource for dynamic visualization of the Hadoop cluster, the various nodes, and their relationships.  It is absolutely stunning to behold!

Puppet vs. Chef, Fight!

http://devopsanywhere.blogspot.com/2011/10/puppet-vs-chef-fight.html

If you aren't yet using Puppet or Chef for managing your *nix infrastructure, you should seriously consider it.

The Criteria

-Community Strength

-Leadership

-Corporate Adoption

-Technical Merits

-Hands-on Experience

Community Size

Number of people on IRC on Sunday Oct 9th, 2011 10 AM GMT

#puppet   541 users

#chef       233 users

Mailing Lists

puppet-users  3363 members, 5961 topics

chef: 600 members, # of topics unknown

Quality of Cookbook Sites

http://community.opscode.com/cookbooks

http://forge.puppetlabs.com/

Github Repositories:

puppet:  1622 repositories

chef:      1299 repositories

 Pro Puppet, by Puppet Labs engineer James Turnbull, is an awesome introduction to Puppet. I found it immensely helpful. There is a 50-page O'Reilly publication on Chef, Test-Driven Infrastructure with Chef, but it cannot match the breadth of Pro Puppet...

Leadership

Luke... I spoke to Luke .. he told me he actually put a lot of efford into becoming a CEO...

New - Amazon S3 Server Side Encryption for Data at Rest

http://aws.typepad.com/aws/2011/10/new-amazon-s3-server-side-encryption.html

Amazon S3 Server Side Encryption handles all encryption, decryption, and key management in a totally transparent fashion. When you PUT an object and request encryption (in an HTTP header supplied as part of the PUT), we generate a unique key, encrypt your data with the key, and then encrypt the key with a master key. For added protection, keys are stored in hosts that are separate and distinct from those used to store your data.

How Ruby is beating Python in the battle for the Soul of System Administration

http://devopsanywhere.blogspot.com/2011/09/how-ruby-is-beating-python-in-battle.html

- In many ways it is the love child of perl and smalltalk.

• Ruby's greatest strength is its amazing flexibility.
• Python intentionally has minimal magic. It's greatest strengths are the best practices it enforces across its community.

Comments 

-For CM, you missed bcfg2 which is written in Python.

Hack Day in China...

http://kb.dtosolutions.com/wiki/Duke%27s_Bank_J2EE_Jenkins/Rundeck_example

Minimalist pipeline.. CI loop, CD model... 

Customer was Centos based.... 

SVN,Jenkins, Rundeck, JBoss and Mysql... (5 Servers).  

Due to cultural differences....

Make a change to the code and see the CI loop, delivery loop take place.  

The do a Roll back....

Talk about Rundeck and the mechanics - Jenkins Rundeck Plugin.  Drives the rundeck job automatically.  Also Rundeck pulls the latest, last and history of builds.  

Normally we would use Chef or Puppet on the back end of Rundeck... 

Point about manual vs automated process

A Contentious Question by Chris Hoff (@beaker)

http://www.rationalsurvivability.com/blog/?p=3304

Contentios question by @beaker.. no,  Actually if you guys don’t follow @beaker you should.  He is our #devops mirror for networking and security (imho).  He tried to keep us honest...

“Given the recent influx of virtual networking solutions, many of which are OpenFlow-based, what possible in-roads and value can they hope to offer in heavily virtualized enterprise environments wherein the virtual networking is owned and controlled by VMware?”

Specifically, if the only third-party VMware virtual switch to date is Cisco’s and access to this platform is limited (if at all available) to startup players, how on Earth do BigSwitch, Nicira, vCider, etc. plan to insert themselves into an already contentious environment effectively doing mindshare and relevance battle with the likes of mainline infrastructure networking giants and VMware?

If you’re answer is “OpenFlow and OpenStack will enable this access,...

Not meaning to piss anyone off, but many of these startups’ business plans are shrouded in the mystical vail of “wait and see.”

Puppet Conf Recap ...

Great show.. first class.. venue, food, content...

“Operations as a Strategic Weapon”

Damon and I did our combined talks right after Luke’s Keynote.  I thought we rocked.  They will be posting the videos

http://www.slideshare.net/botchagalupe/operations-as-a-strategic-weapon

http://www.slideshare.net/botchagalupe/operations-as-a-strategic-weapon-part-2

Devops Cafe Roundtable with Luke, Teyo, James and Scott  ..

Basically the management team at Puppet Labs

Scott story about joining Puppetlabs... His Loudcloud experience. 

Damon killed.  We talked about Service Orchestration, PaaS, culture patterns.. great stuff... We will post the audio on Devops Cafe site and the Video should be up in a week or two...

---------------------------------------------------

Puppet Enterprise 2.0

http://puppetlabs.com/puppet/puppet-enterprise/?htb1

A lot of new integration with Mcollective and the GUI...

New GUI, right out-of-the-box PE 2.0 automatically discovers all resources – packages, hosts, groups, and users.  Uses Mcollective to discover. 

Visually Clone Resources To Scale Quickly, Efficiently, and Reliably(From the GUI)

With PE 2.0’s new  compliance capability, you now can visually monitor for any unauthorized changes against your desired-state baseline. Can run compliance reports once a day and watch for changing trends...  Give auditors GUI control to see what they need to see...

PE 2.0’s new provisioning capability allows you to quickly and easily create new instances of VMware and Amazon EC2.  KInd of like “Knife” with the added bare metal sauce... 

---------------------------------------------------

“Operating at Scale”

Pedro Canahuati

SRE Manager... 

Dealing with issues at “SCALE” and I mean scale....

Switched from XEN to LXC to to overhead at scale...

Been using cFengine for years... About to change to Chef or Puppet.. Looking at both. 

All the #devops thing are going on at FB  CD, Agile in operations, collect and store everything.  Like Google, they had to build a lot of their own stuff.  

They build there own TSDB kind of like Opentsdb.  They have built there own monitoring framework, looking framework (they use Scribe).

ODS tool the abstracts and visualizes all events (very cool) 

I was able to talk to Pedro at the speakers dinner and the following day.  I am a junkie and groupie for guys like this and stuff like .. we talked about CEP and monitoring.  Also about Chef and Puppet.

CEO Eucalyptus

Great presentation... Talked about what the cloud has done to operations.  Also acknowledges cloud needs devops.... 

My Zing question ... great answer....

We also had some one on one podcasts with the Redhat guys about Openshift and how it works.  

Ended up with an interview with Jay Lyman of 451 group... Post on DTO....
