Infra Management
The Great Cloud Migration with Network Automation & Service Mesh
You need to migrate some workloads from a private datacenter to public cloud. The result? The unavoidable hybrid environment. How do you observe traffic and mitigate risky changes to each system? In this talk, I’ll discuss how you can supercharge your cloud migrations with a combination of network automation for your datacenter and a service mesh across environments.
You need to migrate some workloads from a private datacenter to public cloud. The result? The unavoidable hybrid environment. How do you observe traffic and mitigate risky changes to each system? In this talk, I’ll discuss how you can supercharge your cloud migrations with a combination of network automation for your datacenter and a service mesh across environments.
How to Migrate to Cloud, Supercharged
Step 1: Re-platform application on public cloud.
Step 2: Deploy service mesh in public cloud and edge of datacenter.
Step 3. Configure datacenter routing with network automation.
Step 4: Send traffic using blue/green deployment to the new application.
Step 5: Continue to run in both datacenter and public cloud.
I’ll demonstrate how to add observability and failure tolerance to this workflow. By combining HashiCorp Consul service mesh and Consul Terraform Sync, I can manage, automate, and shape traffic in my hybrid environment from a single pane of glass.

While we all probably think we're doing all the DevOps stuff the right way (and we do, don't we?), drift happens. Even as an experienced Terraform user, as your infrastructure team and codebase grows, it often becomes harder to track drift. I'll share here war stories from different teams, and show common pitfalls of popular commands we use when we want to know what's changed in our infrastructures.

“We are all YAML engineers now” as Bob Walker said in 2018 in Ghent. So we now need something to manage these millions of lines of YAML. There’s the “Kubernetes application management tools” list by Bryan Grant with over 120 tool aiming at config management for Kubernetes. This area is evolving fast, and as k8s users we need some guidance to make informed decisions on what to use. In this talk I’ll describe the problem I need to solve and take a look into what we can learn from the ...

Small businesses and non-profits may opt for Platform-as-a-Service solutions such as Heroku to avoid the operational burden of managing their own infrastructure. However, PaaS solutions quickly become cost-prohibitive for compute- or memory-intensive applications. In this talk, I’ll demo an open source infrastructure automation toolchain based on Ansible, Github Actions, Vagrant, Packer, Terraform, and Sentry. Once instrumented, this toolchain incurs a $0 recurring cost and can be safely and ...

The "pet vs cattle" thing is getting pretty long in the tooth, but the one thing one keeps hearing is that the management layer somehow always remains a pet. While there is certainly some truth to that - you don't want to rebuild your management plane every day - wouldn't it be cool if you could?

Container registries are becoming an important source of software distribution. Why package content in a container image? A container image includes an assorted collection of software - often hundreds of software components. This format facilitates use of the software, because a complete set of the needed components are delivered as a single unit. In this talk we look into how to ship content regardless of how it is packaged (rpm, python, ansible roles) in a container image and build the image ...
