AIRFLOW README & Answers to Questions presented by the Project Team DevOps Admin: Erich EJ Best email: erich.ej.best@gmail.com phone: 201-218-9860 Approach and Choices Explained • I chose to use the airflow https://airflow.apache.org/installation.html and utilize available installation choices. Choices you had to make due to time pressure • Currently working 12 hours daily 7 days or so at my current job (severty 1 outage and conference calls) there was limited time and days where no time was available. Most of the time looking at this project was multi-tasking. • Chose to deliver the project using a combination of a scripted solution using the tools of AWS CLI, Terraform and User_Data to get a single execution automated solution. Known deviations from best practice or real production setup • Adherence to an Enterprise Security Solution would be a best practice and is not part of this model. • A DNS solution should be used and would need to be part of the solution (DNS worked in my testing lab). • In a production setup would have a more robust Pipeline including orchestration and tracking DevOps solutions. • Used the ec2-user account; seen there could be a airflow account used or follow the Enterprise. • The overall security, networking and ports should be given attention. Description of the setup, why you chose the technologies used in your stack • Terraform is the main technology used in the stack and would have expanded this for organizational framework, tracking and transparencies using other tools in the stack. • Based on the lack of available time constraint; getting the application deployed in raw automation, was a solution that was possible. Anything else you think would be good to know • If there were a chance for more time, would have preferred to submit a Jenkins solution using a Shift Left DevOps Solution with a Jenkinsfile in GitHub and Pipeline to deploy. Still would be using the script; perhaps slightly adjusted and all the Python dependences using a Chef Cookbook/Recipe. Please let me know if this option is possible?
