DevOps: Continuous Delivery and

Windows Azure
Ibon Landa
Plain Concepts

Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early

and continuous delivery of valuable software.
Principles behind the Agile Manifesto
How long would it take your
organization to deploy a change that
involves just one single line of code?
Do you do this on a repeatable, reliable
basis?
Mary & Tom Poppendieck
Implementing Lean Software Development
Done means "released". This implies ownership of a project
right up until its in the hands of the user, and working
properly. Theres none of this "Ive checked in my code so its
done as far as Im concerned".

SOFTWARE
DELIVERY
MODELS
#1: No model, or random delivery.
#2: Let the operations guys figure out.
#3: Defined and collaborative approach.
DELIVERY PRACTICES
Version
everything
Automate
everything
Tokenize
configurations
Use one-click deployments
Deploy to a copy of
production
Deploy the same way to every
environment
Have always a rollback
mechanism in place.
Lock down
the environments.
Build
only
once
Measure the delivery process

Continuous Delivery
Recipes and Cookbooks
thatUSEE:
Recipes and Cookbooks that describe and
deliver code.
Chef enables people to easily build &
manage complex & dynamic applications
at massive scale.
New model for describing infrastructure that
promotes reuse
Programmatically provision and configure
Reconstruct business from code repository,
data backup, and bare metal resources
What is Chef?
Chef is an IT automation platformfor developers & systems engineers to continuously
define, build, and manage infrastructure.
CHEF USES:
Organizations
Environments
Roles
Nodes
Recipes
Resources
Cookbooks
Run-lists
Chef Concepts
Azure plugin for Chef
Request new VM from Azure API
Bootstrap it over WinRM
Install and start Chef
Register with Chef server
Run through the run list
Instant infrastructure with one command
Provisioning with Chef
Easy to configure, reproducible, and portable work
environments
VirtualBox, Hyper-V, VMware, AWS, or any other
provider. Windows Azure is not supported now.
Shell scripts, Chef, or Puppet, can be used to
automatically install and configure software on the
machine
Vagrant uses a base images: Boxes
This Vagrant plugin allows you to standup Windows
guests using WinRM instead of SSH
Why vagrant?
Automate your OpenStack cloud infrastructure
Juju Charms define applications as services
An Ubuntu, OSX or Windows machine to install the client on
GUI or command-line
Ubuntu juju
Charms for everything you need
juju generate-config
ALM your way

Simplifies managing multiple environments
Improves collaboration throughout the process
Provides release analytics and reporting
