This document provides an overview of infrastructure automation tools like Chef, Puppet, Ansible, Serverspec, Infrataster and the Infrataster OracleDB plugin. It includes steps to setup the Oracle Instant Client, install necessary Ruby gems, write an Infrataster spec test to query the Oracle database and assert that the db_block_size parameter equals 8192, and execute the spec test with RSpec.
For the Docker users out there, Sematext's DevOps Evangelist, Stefan Thies, goes through a number of different Docker monitoring options, points out their pros and cons, and offers solutions for Docker monitoring. Webinar contains actionable content, diagrams and how-to steps.
Docker is all the rage these days. While one doesn't hear much about Solr on Docker, we're here to tell you not only that it can be done, but also share how it's done.
We'll quickly go over the basic Docker ideas - containers are lighter than VMs, they solve "but it worked on my laptop" issues - so we can dive into the specifics of running Solr on Docker.
We'll do a live demo showing you how to run Solr master - slave as well as SolrCloud using containers, how to manage CPU assignments, constraint memory and use Docker data volumes when running Solr in containers. We will also show you how to create your own containers with custom configurations.
Finally, we'll address one of the core Solr questions - which deployment type should I use? We will demonstrate performance differences between the following deployment types:
- Single Solr instance running on a bare metal machine
- Multiple Solr instances running on a single bare metal machine
- Solr running in containers
- Solr running on virtual machine
- Solr running on virtual machine using unikernel
For each deployment type we'll address how it impacts performance, operational flexibility and all other key pros and cons you ought to keep in mind.
How to Avoid Pitfalls in Schema Upgrade with GaleraSveta Smirnova
Galera Cluster for MySQL is a 100% synchronized cluster in regards to data modification operations (DML). It is ensured by the optimistic locking model and ability to rollback a transaction, which cannot be applied on all nodes. However, schema changes (DDL operations) are not transactional in MySQL, which adds complexity when you need to perform an upgrade or change schema of the database.
Changes made by DDL may affect results of the queries. Therefore all modifications must replicate on all nodes prior next data access. For operations which run momentarily it can be easily achieved, but schema changes may take hours to apply. Therefore in addition to safest synchronous blocking schema upgrade method TOI Galera also supports more relaxed, thought not safe, method RSU.
In her talk Sveta will describe which pitfalls you can hit while performing the change using one or another method, why and how to avoid them.

My talk for "MySQL, MariaDB and Friends" devroom at Fosdem on February 2, 2019
Born in 2010 in MySQL 5.5.3 as "a feature for monitoring server execution at a low level," grown in 5.6 times with performance fixes and DBA-faced features, in MySQL 5.7 Performance Schema is a mature tool, used by humans and more and more monitoring products. It becomes more popular over the years. In this talk I will give an overview of Performance Schema, focusing on its tuning, performance, and usability.
Performance Schema helps to troubleshoot query performance, complicated locking issues, memory leaks, resource usage, problematic behavior, caused by inappropriate settings and much more. It comes with hundreds of options which allow precisely tune what to instrument. More than 100 consumers store collected data.
Performance Schema is a potent tool. And very complicated at the same time. It does not affect performance in most cases and can slow down server dramatically if configured without care. It collects a lot of data, and sometimes this data is hard to read.
This talk will start from the introduction of how Performance Schema designed, and you will understand why it slowdowns server in some cases and does not affect your queries in others. Then we will discuss which information you can retrieve from Performance Schema and how to do it effectively.
I will cover its companion sys schema and graphical monitoring tools.

Enterprise bare metal provisioning using Stacki at Salesforce/Pardot and how we've configured it in our environment. It used to take the Ops teams hours to do end-to-end provisioning with chef integration to now it takes about 15 minutes with it all being automated. In this presentation, I will discuss:
- Why we chose Stacki
- Hardware and provisioning requirements
- Stacki configuration with chef integration
- ZFS and data safe re-provisioning
- Detecting issues and adhoc reporting

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.
