Over 90 practical, actionable recipes to automate, test, and manage your infrastructure quickly and effectivelyAbout This Book. Bring down your delivery timeline from days to hours by treating your server configurations and VMs as code, just like you would with software code. Take your existing knowledge and skill set with your existing tools (Puppet, Chef, or Docker) to the next level and solve IT infrastructure challenges. Use practical recipes to use code to provision and deploy servers and applications and have greater control of your infrastructure.Who This Book Is ForThis book is for DevOps engineers and developers working in cross-functional teams or operations and would now switch to IAC to manage complex infrastructures.What You Will Learn. Provision local and remote development environments with Vagrant. Automate production infrastructures with Terraform, Ansible and Cloud-init on AWS, OpenStack, Google Cloud, Digital Ocean, and more. Manage and test automated systems using Chef and Puppet. Build, ship, and debug optimized Docker containers. Explore the best practices to automate and test everything from cloud infrastructures to operating system configurationIn DetailInfrastructure as Code (IAC) is a key aspect of the DevOps movement, and this book will show you how to transform the way you work with your infrastructure-by treating it as software.This book is dedicated to helping you discover the essentials of infrastructure automation and its related practices; the over 90 organized practical solutions will demonstrate how to work with some of the very best tools and cloud solutions.You will learn how to deploy repeatable infrastructures and services on AWS, OpenStack, Google Cloud, and Digital Ocean. You will see both Ansible and Terraform in action, manipulate the best bits from cloud-init to easily bootstrap instances, and simulate consistent environments locally or remotely using Vagrant. You will discover how to automate and test a range of system tasks using Chef or Puppet. You will also build, test, and debug various Docker containers having developers' interests in mind.This book will help you to use the right tools, techniques, and approaches to deliver working solutions for today's modern infrastructure challenges.Style and approachThis is a recipe-based book that allows you to venture into some of the most cutting-edge practices and techniques about IAC and solve immediate problems when trying to implement them.

L'autore

Stephane Jourdan is a passionate infrastructure engineer, enthusiastic entrepreneur, zealous trainer and continuous learner, working on innovative infrastructures since the early 2000s. He focuses equally on tools and culture, in environments as different as startups, online audio/video media, e-commerce or semi-conductors. The common point between all those experiences: success comes with rigor, technical repeatability, communication and shared team culture. He co-founded a infrastructure automation consultancy (GreenAlto.com), a web radio (PhauneRadio.com), a container/serverless platform for developers (SquareScale.com), or a sound design studio (Tarabust.com).

When Stephane isn't starting or contributing to new open-source projects, he's usually found hiking in remote places with his camera.

Pierre Pomes

After being graduated from Centrale Marseille (engineering school) I joined the startup "Interface Technologies" in 1997 and I started my carrer as a C developer on Solaris, in the travel industry.

Around 2000 we started to create a hotel booking engine: Reservit (www.reservit.com). Currently Reservit is one of the leaders in France, Europe and Québec, with thousands of bookings a day, and connections to booking.com, Expedia, Venere and more. My main role is to take care of the infrastructure: design, choice of solutions, support/troubleshooting, management of a small sysadmin team. However with my dual competence dev/sysadmin, I am always also involved in dev critical decisions and troubleshooting.

I worked with Stephane between 2008 and 2010, and we were able a build a complete redundant production system with only open source solutions. In the meantime, I also contributed to the pfsense project (www.pfsense.org) as a developer.

Starting from 2011, we started using puppet to deploy a few hundred VM's on top of XenServer. Puppet helps us to deploy and maintain quickly homogeneous and secured Ubuntu VM's, with opensource technologies (haproxy, apache/mod_security, php, jboss, tomcat/jetty, percona clusters, rsyslog servers, ntp, bind, postfix, nagios, snort, openvas, elasticsearch and more). All infrastructure deployments and configs are controlled by puppet, and the complete code is in a git repository shared between sysadmins. Even our monitoring servers (Nagios) are 100% controlled by puppet. With this approach, puppet is one of the keys of our PCI-DSS compliance. We also use puppet for our internal services and Ubuntu workstations.
