Jenkins And Ansible: A Get Together
If you are wondering how to automate the installation and configuration of Jenkins using code, this post is for you.
Jenkins is a popular open source tool to build CI/CD pipelines.
Ansible is a popular open source tool to automate a lot of things in IT, including CI/CD and infrastructure orchestration.
Ansible can be used to deploy applications in the cloud. Ansible is a nice tool to execute steps such as:
Preparing For A DevOps Engineer Job With A Personal Project
The blog post attempts to answer some questions like:
- How to become a DevOps engineer?
- How to prepare for a DevOps engineer interview?
- How to get a DevOps engineer job?
In a previous blog post, I wrote about the path an aspiring DevOps engineer could follow.
In this blog post, I will lay out a concrete plan using which you can prepare yourself for a DevOps engineer job. If you follow the steps carefully, you will be armed with practical DevOps knowledge, and you will be able to apply for DevOps engineer jobs confidently.
Should You Maintain A Private Fork Of Open Source Terraform Modules?
This is a blog post in IAC with Terraform series.
IAC stands for Infrastructure As Code. Modern IT infrastructure can be orchestrated using programmatic methods. Terraform is(was?) a popular open source software used to orchestrate infrastructure in the cloud and elsewhere too.
Terraform has the concept of modules. With modules, you can code abstract infrastructure. For example, if you are creating a pattern of infrastructure over and over again, you could abstract the pattern into a Terraform module. Let’s take the example of a web application. It consists of:
From Build And Deploy Engineer To DevOps Engineer
The build and deploy engineer is a role in IT/infrastructure/devops teams of organizations that is responsible for deploying a set of applications using CI/CD pipelines. Usually, they use the pipelines, tools and processes created by DevOps engineers, consultants or practitioners. They tweak things with tools like Ansible, Jenkins, Git, Maven, etc. here and there a bit.
Are you one such build and deploy engineer looking to transition your career into DevOps engineering? Here’s a path you could follow:
Tech Chorus Blog Hosting Story
The Tech Chorus blog by Sudheer Satyanarayana started way back in 2008. The blog has used various hosting technologies and software over the years.
Initially, the blog site used Drupal content management system. LAMP was a popular technology stack those days. Drupal was one of my favorite CMSes back then. The Drupal site was hosted on a cPanel server.
As life progressed, there was not enough time to patch Drupal and its plugins. Upgrading between major versions of Drupal also took considerable amount of time and effort. I moved on to a static site generator. I found and loved Lektor. With Lektor, I managed the content on my workstation and generated the static site. I used to deploy the generated static site to an AWS EC2 instance with Nginx.
Map SSH Keys To Git Projects
Using Git with SSH is a common practice among software developers. The convenience of not having to remember passwords is a huge productivity boost in software development workflows.
In a previous blog post, I wrote about managing SSH keys.
Having many SSH keys can cause few issues:
ssh-agent
doesn’t work well with too many keys.- Can’t always map SSH keys to servers in SSH client configuration. Both personal and company projects Git can be hosted on the same server or third-party service such as Github.
- Some Git hosting services do not allow you to use the same SSH key in more than one user profile. You are forced to have a unique SSH keypair per user profile.
- The SSH server might refuse to allow too many authentication attempts.
Git allows you to set the environment variable GIT_SSH_COMMAND
. If you set this environment variable, Git uses the
specified command for push
and pull
operations.
SSH Key Management
What is SSH Key Management?
The blog post is intended towards someone new to SSH key management. Do you have just one SSH key pair? Do you have multiple key pairs? What are some pros and cons of having single or multiple key pairs? The post answers such questions about SSH key usage in practice.
The Premise
So, someone walked up to you or in a video call asked for your SSH public key?
Database Migrations In A Pluggable Module System Using A Graph Algorithm
In this blog post, I will explain how I implemented a graph algorithm to solve the database migration problem in an application pluggable module system.
Prerequisites:
- Working knowledge of Python
- Working knowledge of Graph Theory. Familiar with the terms: Edge, vertex, path, sink, source, digraph, path graph, etc.
Gavika Web Framework has a pluggable module system. The modules can be developed independently. They can be installed, upgraded and removed from the main application. Gavika Web Framework is written using Python, Flask, SQLAlchemy and a bunch of other related technologies and libraries.
AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate
