1. Deployment Orchestration

2. If you are interested in orchestration
you probably

3. You also probably

4. Ad-Hoc Operations
• Something went wrong
– Automation didn’t install package X
• Operation not automated yet
• Doing this manually doesn’t scale
– It also isn’t fun or cool either

5. Ad-Hoc Operations
• Tools

6. Build/Configure a Cluster
• I can easily setup an instance of my
application
• Now I want to setup a cluster or a platform
– Multiple instances, several
applications, databases, proxies, caching, log
aggregators, etc…

7. Build/Configure a Cluster
• Solutions

8. Order of Operations / Locking
• Application provisioning should wait until
database provisioning is done
• I don’t want all instances of my application to
restart at the same time

9. Order of Operations / Locking
• Solutions

10. What does this mean for me?
• There seems to be no out of the box solution
• The people that have solved it (or attempted)
had to architect and do it themselves
• This is most likely what you will have to do
