Infrastructure as Code

A technical domainrevolving aroundbuilding andmanaginginfrastructureprogrammatically

Enable the reconstruction of the business fromnothing but a source coderepository, an application data backup, and bare metal resources.

The Chef Framework• Reasonability• Flexibility• Library & Primitives

The Chef APIWith thanks (and apologies) to Stephen Nelson-Smith

The Chef API• Client/Server• RESTful API w/ JSON• Search Service• Derivative Services

The Chef Community With thanks (and apologies) to Stephen Nelson-Smith

The Chef Community• Apache License, Version 2.0• 400+ Individual contributors• 90+ Corporate contributors • Dell, Rackspace,VMware, RightScale, Heroku, and more• 240+ cookbooks• http://community.opscode.com/

Chef Enables Infrastructure as Code package "haproxy" do action :install end template "/etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg" do source "haproxy.cfg.erb"• Resources owner "root" group "root"• Recipes mode 0644• notifies :restart, "service[haproxy]" Roles end• Source Code service "haproxy" do supports :restart => true action [:enable, :start] end

Chef Resources package "haproxy" do action :install end• Have a type. template "/etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg" do• source "haproxy.cfg.erb" Have a name. owner "root"• Have parameters. group "root" mode 0644• Take action to put the resource notifies :restart, "service[haproxy]" end in the declared state.• Can send notifications to other service "haproxy" do supports :restart => true resources. action [:enable, :start] end

Resources take action through Providers

Chef Providerspackage “haproxy” { yum install haproxy apt-get install haproxy pacman sync haproxy pkg_add -r haproxy

Common Resourcespackage "apache2"template "/etc/apache2/httpd.conf"cookbook_file "/etc/apache2/key.pem"user "www-data"execute "/etc/init.d/apache2 restart"

Idempotence execute "createdb myapp" do not_if "psql -c list | grep myapp" end• Convergence execute "createdb myapp" do• Guard clauses only_if do db.query("SELECT ...").first == 0 end end

Recipes are collections of Resources

Chef Recipes package "haproxy" do action :install end template "/etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg" do source "haproxy.cfg.erb"• Recipes are evaluated for owner "root" resources in the order they group "root" mode 0644 appear. notifies :restart, "service[haproxy]"• Each resource object is added end to the Resource Collection. service "haproxy" do supports :restart => true action [:enable, :start] end

Chef Recipes• Recipes can include other include_recipe include_recipe "apache2" "apache2::mod_rewrite" recipes. include_recipe "apache2::mod_deflate"• Included recipes are include_recipe include_recipe "apache2::mod_headers" "apache2::mod_php5" processed in order.

Chef Recipes pool_members = search("node", "role:mediawiki") %w{ template "/etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg" do• Extend recipes with template php5 php5-dev php5-cgi }.each do |pkg| "/etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg" do source "haproxy.cfg.erb" source "haproxy.cfg.erb" Ruby. owner "root" package pkg do owner "root" group "root"• action :install group "root" Dynamic configuration end mode 0644 mode 0644 notifies :restart, "service[haproxy]" through search. variables :pool_members => pool_members end end:restart, "service[haproxy]" notifies end

Chef Roles name "mediawiki" description "mediawiki app server" run_list( "recipe[mysql::client]", "recipe[application]", "recipe[mediawiki::status]" )• Roles describe nodes. name "mediawiki_load_balancer"• Roles have a run list. description "mediawiki load balancer" run_list(• Roles can have attributes. ) "recipe[haproxy::app_lb]" override_attributes( "haproxy" => { "app_server_role" => "mediawiki" } )

Other Chef Terms• Cookbooks are collections of recipes• Environments are pegged cookbook versions• Servers are Nodes• Data bags are JSON blobs

Python Cookbook• python::package, python::source — Install Python• python::pip, python::virtualenv — Make it dance• python::default — All of the above!• python_pip, python_virtualenv

Gunicorn Cookbook• gunicorn::default• gunicorn_config

Supervisor Cookbook• supervisor::default • Debian-style for now• supervisor_service
