Vulture Culture posted:I'm getting really, seriously twitchy at this particular use of the word "DevOps". These days it's just a catchphrase used to describe a style of engineering that combines developer and operations type roles. There are associated best practices and technologies. Like Orchestration, Containerization, CI/CD, etc. There are also plenty of shops that describe themselves as devops and the reality is that they fired their operations team and make their devs reboot servers. So really, his use of the word isn't that out of bounds, but he should have been asking about using small scale orchestration.

Am I shooting myself in the foot if my first foray into CI/CD is VSTS? It's been super easy to set up and I haven't run into anything I wanted to do that I haven't been able to do yet, but since it doesn't seem to have a lot of community uptake, I can't help but think my time would be spent better with other tools.

I’ve been doing some beginner tutorials at work, but I want to set something up at home. My desktop can sometimes be inconvenient to work from by virtue of being loving gigantic and stuck in one place. I want to set up a MEAN stack CRUD application, and it seems like being able to VPN into it from my laptop would be good. Here’s what I’m thinking I’ll need: I wouldn't do a VPN in a container. For your use case, I wouldn't bother with a VPN at all. Just set up SSH on your linux vm. I would also look into Docker Compose, which will allow you to define all of your containers, their network and storage in one configuration file.

Docker for Windows also appears to have issues running Linux and Windows containers side-by-side so everything else has to be a Windows container too.

In addition, terraform maintaining it's own state allows you to have terraformed resources along side other resources and not worry too much about terraform loving poo poo up.

Erwin posted:Terraform taking an hour to create a resource is probably the Azure provider's fault. If you're sure you're not doing something wrong in your configuration, then go look at the provider's repo for issues related to whatever you're seeing. The Azure provider is what defines how Terraform interacts with the Azure API to kick off the resource creation and to know when it's finished. If it was working correctly, it would take the same amount of time as your ARM template. There's nothing about Terraform that would make it take longer for Azure to do things. Solve that issue and your other points are moot. The azure provider is heavily contributed to by Microsoft, there is really no reason for it to have this kind of issue.

Messing around in my lab and trying to figure out a reliable way to deploy a node app to Windows. No containers, just a Window Server VM with nothing installed. I'm using Azure Devops Pipelines, and deploying the code from repo isn't a problem, I'm just not sure how to reliably ensure Node is present and if it is already running, how to reload the app.

Part of the issue with terraform is that it's not easy to recover if your state file gets deleted/corrupted. Which is not something I've had happen to myself, but have heard of it happening enough times that I'm wary.

Ok, my question was pretty vague and I think some of you were searching for an xy problem. The team that I’m on is building an infrastructure pipeline workflow so that our app teams can just say “I want resource1, resource2, and it needs to be load balanced” and our tools take that information and builds out all the required infrastructure to make it work, the nsg’s, the storage accounts, makes sure asp’s are in the right ase’s and a bunch of other stuff. It also enables easy promotion from dev to load testing to prod. Right now the app teams interact with this by writing terraform using modules that we built, which when checked in trigger azure devops pipelines and tfe. This is having a heavier support burden for teams that are less familiar with tf and we are having to troubleshoot and help them deploy their environments. My idea was to explore the possibility of having the app teams use a scaffolding/code generation tool to ask them a couple questions then generates a base folder structure and tf files that would deploy what they need based on some common design patterns. Mostly inspired by web dev tools like create-react-app and django.

Yeah, my picture was from a single plan. Specifically, that plan was using 3 modules, but those modules had dependencies on other modules resulting in needing to dig through 21 different modules to find the one where someone set the provider version requirement to ~> 2.30.0 while other modules in the plan had required higher than 2.30.x Basically, if you have a choice don’t do what my employer is doing If you don’t have a choice, have a team to maintain and support the house of cards you are building

Yeah fair enough The target audience for this is our app teams. We build and maintain a bunch of modules for them to use so that they can manage their applications infrastructure by just setting some variables for the modules they need then pushing their repo up to azure devops, then the build pipeline handles the rest The actual terraform deployment is done as an api-driven run through terraform enterprise, the applications terraform state is stored here in a workspace as well. Right now we are working on migrating from 12.29 to 13.5, all of our modules are updated, with the idea that the app team should be able to make sure they are using the right module versions, then set their workspace to 13.5 and deploy. This works with the exception of an issue with provider namespaces. The issue is resolved by either running terraform init or terraform replace-provider against the remote backend We want to eliminate the need for the app teams to have to install terraform and configure the remote backend just for this one task

The Iron Rose posted:How on earth do y'all use terraform version management? I have a few dozen different repos, all of which have "required_version = "0.12.18" or something similarly archaic in there, usually whatever version was latest at the time the repo was first built. There is vast institutional opposition to simply using the latest version whenever you make a new PR, mostly because people are (foolishly) scared of state file surgery. As a policy we peg modules to the minimum compatible version, ie: >=12.26, we do the same thing for provider versions If the app breaks because of some change in a newer version terraform or the provider, they can peg it to whatever is the newest that works in their workspace until we fix the module they’re using
