UD2.120 (Chavanne)
Adam Růžička
This talk focuses on how Ansible and Foreman integrate with each other and what added value can the users get when using Ansible from Foreman. It describes two primary approaches of using Ansible from Foreman. The first is a traditional configuration management approach, where hosts are kept in a predefined state, while the other works in a more remote execution fashion. The talk goes over several scenarios and demonstrates how Foreman can leverage Ansible to effortlessly solve the issues present in the given scenarios.

Pulp (https://pulpproject.org) enables users to organize and distribute software. Now that Pulp 3.0 is generally available, it’s time to integrate it into your software delivery workflows. While the REST API is the primary integration point, it is the OpenAPI schema definition of that API that enables users to build client libraries in various languages. These clients simplify the integration with Pulp 3. This talk will provide a brief introduction to OpenAPI. This will be followed by a ...

Designing for Failure While we all work very hard to build high-available, fault-tolerant and resillient applications and infrastructures the end-goal is currently often something along the lines of loosly-coupled/microservices with zero-downtime in mind. Upgrades are tied to CI/CD pipelines and we should be sipping pina coladas on the beach. Time to unleash the Chaos Monkey, because that is what Netflix does, so we should try it as well. Now, the backend DB failed. The middleware application is ...

A key aspect of a microservice architecture is to make sure individual services work in isolation. But as a developer its also important to make sure the service works in the full system. Providing developers a way to run pre-production code in a multi-service environment is challenging. Making use of existing Helm charts and defaulting to production configuration does part of the work. Also important is being able to extend upon tools like Telepresence/Ksync for debugging in k8s. But while ...
