This document discusses automating DevOps processes through orchestration and workflows. It introduces Petsy, a pet art company that needs to automate deployments. Common DevOps workflows like deployment, infrastructure upgrades, and scaling are described. The document then introduces the Cloudify project which uses TOSCA-inspired building blocks like nodes, relationships, and workflows to automate application topology deployment and management across clouds. A live demo of automatically deploying a Mezzanine application is shown. The document concludes by discussing how Cloudify integrates with the OpenStack ecosystem through the Solum project.

Automating Application over OpenStack using Workflows
- 1. It’s the App, Stupid! Orchestration, Automation, Scaling & What’s in Between Yaron Parasol, Uri Cohen GigaSpaces @yaronpar, @uri1803
- 2. Meet Petsy, Selling Pet Art and Supporting Pet Artists Since 2013
- 3. So They’re Services Are Deployed on OpenStack Logstash PostgreSQL Nginx Hadoop Graphite Gunicorn ActiveMQ MongoDB Jenkins Nagios
- 4. The Business Is Doing Great, Thx (esp. Cat paper crafts), But… Rolling out new code is Painful http://www.interestingtopics.net/storage/5762c0bec0add88fae0c3958d61effe1.jpg
- 6. So, Let’s have a closer look at DevOps Processes It’s about Workflows and Triggers
- 7. Automated Deployment • Triggers: Manual, CI Server • Flow: – Provision Cloud Resources: Compute, Storage, Network – Configure servers – Push code – Start components http://www.flickr.com/photos/smilemark/4611091236/sizes/m/in/photostream/
- 8. Infra Upgrade • Trigger: Critical updates, patches, etc. • Flow: Take down relevant processes, one by one, apply patch, and reconnect to cluster. In some cases restarts server
- 9. App upgrade (or more generally, CD) • Trigger: CI server, Manual • Flow: Canary, Red/Black, A/B… – In general – Partial deploy, verify, rollback / complete deploy
- 10. Node Failure • Trigger: #$%@ happens… • Flow: Detect, provision VM, attach storage, add to network, reconfigure app (load balancer in case of web serve, DB connection in case of database, etc.)
- 11. Scaling • Trigger: System SLAs, Schedule • Flow: Add new nodes, push code, reconfigure dependent nodes, reconfigure LB
- 12. Automation refers to all the layers Application Middleware Infrastructure Proxy Config Python App Schema NGinx Gunicorn Postgres Host Networks Storage WE need Workflows
- 13. Let’s have a look at AWS • Compared to OpenStack
- 14. The AWS Stack
- 15. The OpenStack Equivalents OpenShift/ CloudFoundry **Solum** ? Heat Nova, Cinder, Neutron etc..
- 16. He Calls It Devops Automation http://www.allthingsdistributed.com/2013/02/aws-opsworks.html
- 17. Still a bit too rigid
- 18. OpsWorks – We can do better! • Integrated with Heat • Cross Clouds • Custom Workflows • Not limited to Chef • Open Monitoring and Policies
- 19. How do you build the WF piece? • Introduction to the Cloudify COSMO project
- 20. Our TOSCA-Inspired Building Blocks Application Topologies Workflows Policies
- 21. • Nodes Application Topologies – The layers in the cake e.g. VM, web server, app module – Actions (can be grouped into Interfaces) • Relationships – Actions – Requirements <-> capabilities
- 22. Workflows • Create and interact with nodes using actions
- 23. Policies • Trigger workflows based on a certain system state
- 24. How It Works in Practice REST API Blueprint Runtime Model Workflow Engine DSL + Metrics Policy Engine Task Broker GUI Agen t Plugins Plugin Metrics Collecto r Agen t Plugin
- 25. Live Demo – Installing Mezzanine • • • • • • • • • Create the VMs Install Postgres Install Gunicorn Install NGinx Create DB on Postgres Push app to Containers Configure App connection to DB Configure Nginx routing rules Start components in the right order
- 26. Some Resources • Framework (code name – Cosmo) code and sample app are available on github github.com/cloudifysource/cosmo- manager github.com/cloudifysource/cosmo-mezzanineexample
- 27. Plans, Plans
- 28. Plans, Plans
- 29. How Does It Fit into the OpenStack Eco-System? • The need was identified (Call for TOSCA like DSL) • Solum Project – Solum Blueprints identified the needs: • Cross Cloud • Continuous Deployment – As of last week we have joined Solum • In order to contribute the relevant parts into Solum
- 30. Thank You! Come meet us in booth C27
Editor's Notes
- Goals:Why Workflows are critical part of automation of applications on the cloudClarify the need for something like OpsWorksWhy do we think this OpsWorks is needed in addition to other projects
- They do it manually, pushing code to git, then compiling
- They also realized that in order to run well in the cloud they need DevOps and automationWhat are the options
- The building blocks are triggers and workflowsTriggers because triggers need to be automated as well as events resulting from policies / integrationetcWorkflows – because these are complex multi-step processesLet’s have a look at few typical use cases
- Let’s see how the could have automate it over AWS as a benchmark
