Provisioning Toolchain Introduction for Velocity Online Conference (March 2010)

Open Source Provisioning Toolchain http://dev2ops.org/toolchain

Web Operations 1.0

Web Operations 2.0

Toolchains = software assembly line!

Follows historical precedents... Core tenet of Industrial Revolution is interchangeable parts Unix is less an operation system and more a federation of small utilities Free Software Foundation Development Toolchain emacs->autoconf->autoheader->automake->libtool->gcc->ld

Benefits of a provisioning toolchain... Smaller interchangeable parts mitigates risk Help users figure out how tools fit together Stop the constant reinvention of the the wheel Consolidate terminology Help toolsmiths align efforts

Why now?

The rise of clouds and virtualization

Awareness of DevOps problems

Criteria for fully automated provisioning... 1. Be able to automatically provision an entire environment -- from "bare-metal" to running business services -- completely from speciﬁcation 2. No direct management of individual boxes 3. Be able to revert to a "previously known good" state at any time 4. It’s easier to re-provision than it is to repair 5. Anyone on your team with minimal domain speciﬁc knowledge can deploy or update an environment

So we’ve been talking it over... 10/09 - Provisioning Toolchain 11/09 - dev2ops blog 01/10 - OpsCamp, Austin, Texas 02/10 - DTO Customers and Industry Contacts

Controls and Utilization Provisioning Activity De-Provisioning Activity (Current toolchain concept only covers provisioning part of this!)

Scope Creep! CMDB/ Pkg Mgmt / Artifact Repositories Monitoring / Dashboarding / Alarming Roles / Access Controls / Audit And that whole devops thing...

Announcing!

DevOps-Toolchain Document methodologies and best practices Deﬁne an architectural vision of the tool chain with an eye towards phased evolution Maintain a repository of design patterns and anti- patterns that describe useful approaches to tool builders Mailing list to discuss approaches, anecdotes and applications of approaches and tools
