Operating OpenStack on a Budget

Susan Wu

There is a growing trend today of enterprises leveraging both Amazon Web Services (AWS) and on-premise OpenStack-based private clouds. However, the default networking option in OpenStack remains broken and the plethora of confusing plug-ins makes networking in OpenStack mysterious and difficult to manage. Enter MidoNet, the open source network virtualization solution from Midokura favored by DevOps cultures in web scale enterprises and service providers around the world. This session will present case studies from several end user deployments, showing how they use MidoNet to build, run and manage large-scale virtual networks in OpenStack clouds. The session will also discuss how transitioning from a public to private cloud enables organizations to accomplish much more with the same resources, without over-simplifying the inherent complexity of running an OpenStack cloud.

Puppet camp2021 testing modules and controlrepo

Puppet

This document discusses testing Puppet code when using modules versus a control repository. It recommends starting with simple syntax and unit tests using PDK or rspec-puppet for modules, and using OnceOver for testing control repositories, as it is specially designed for this purpose. OnceOver allows defining classes, nodes, and a test matrix to run syntax, unit, and acceptance tests across different configurations. Moving from simple to more complex testing approaches like acceptance tests is suggested. PDK and OnceOver both have limitations for testing across operating systems that may require customizing spec tests. Infrastructure for running acceptance tests in VMs or containers is also discussed.

Modules of the twenties

Puppet

- The document discusses various patterns and techniques the author has found useful when working with Puppet modules over 10+ years, including some that may be considered unorthodox or anti-patterns by some. - Key topics covered include optimization of reusable modules, custom data types, Bolt tasks and plans, external facts, Hiera classification, ensuring resources for presence/absence, application abstraction with Tiny Puppet, and class-based noop management. - The author argues that some established patterns like roles and profiles can evolve to be more flexible, and that running production nodes in noop mode with controls may be preferable to fully enforcing on all nodes.

Applying Roles and Profiles method to compliance code

Puppet

This document discusses adapting the roles and profiles design pattern to writing compliance code in Puppet modules. It begins by noting the challenges of writing compliance code, such as it touching many parts of nodes and leading to sprawling code. It then provides an overview of the roles and profiles pattern, which uses simple "front-end" roles/interfaces and more complex "back-end" profiles/implementations. The rest of the document discusses how to apply this pattern when authoring Puppet modules for compliance - including creating interface and implementation classes, using Hiera for configuration, and tools for reducing boilerplate code. It aims to provide a maintainable structure and simplify adapting to new compliance frameworks or requirements.

KGI compliance as-code approach
