- Basic knowledge of shell commands.
Intro
Join WeCloudData to complete a DevOps mini project! In this 3-part workshop series you will learn:
- How to work with cloud infrastructures like AWS VPC and EC2 instances with Terraform.
- How to install and config Git, Python and Docker in the two EC2 instances with Ansible.
- How to create a CI/CD pipeline that deploys your application automatically to the EC2 instances when there’s a new push/merge in the main branch of your Github.
We will spend the three workshops together to complete this mini project. In each workshop we are going to introduce a tool, do a live demo of how it works and show what can be done with it.
DevOps Mini-Project (Part 1): IaC with Terraform
Terraform is developed by a company called HashiCorp in order to manage infrastructures.
- Unify the view of resources using infrastructure as code.
- Support the modern data center(Iaas, Paas, SaaS).
- Expose a way for individuals and teams to safely and predictably change infrastructure.
- Provide a workflow that is technology agnostic.
- Manage anything with an API.
The code can be found in the feature/Terraform branch
DevOps Mini-Project (Part 2): Introduction to Ansible
Ansible is powerful IT administration tool which is easy to learn and use. It can:
- Provision resources.
- Manage large amount of VM to a cluster.
- Delivery software to multiple node at same time.
- Run management script on multiple target systems.
The code can be found in the feature/Ansible branch
DevOps Mini-Project (Part 3): CI/CD with Github Action
CI/CD stands for continuous integration and continuous delivery/deployment and it usually consists of 4 stages: code merge, test, build and deployment.
Github Action is a tool to automate the CI/CD workflows of developers.
- A free tool.
- serverless.
- easy to setup and manage.
