Automate app deployment with Terraform & Azure DevOps

In this session , We will discuss how to deploy apps and infrastructure with Iac tools such as Terraform and Azure Pipelines .
What are the benefits of Iac tools such as terraform ? Current challenges in app/infrastructure deployment and how to solve those challenges ?

What are some core challenges?

1- Managing your cloud infrastructure : Creating your cloud resources using the cloud provider Portal will not help you with repeatability. What you need is an automated way of creating your resources. Infrastructure as Code or IaC as it is popularly termed, provides you a mechanism to automate your resource creation by writing code. This ensure you can source control your infrastructure changes like the way you do with your application code.

2- Speed and Consistency : IaC is to make things faster by eliminating manual processes and eliminating the slack in the process. A code-based approach makes it easier to get more done in less time .Consistency is another benefit of IaC. We do not need to worry about tasks not being completed and it's not consistent .

3- Monitoring and Scaling : When you provision any resources you might need additional tools to track who is provisioning what, where, how often and what is the cost of that. You might find it challenging to track the usage/capacity . We can achieve better monitoring and scaling capability with Iac.

What problems does your sessions solves?
In this session, we will take a look at how to solve the above given challenges using Terraform and Azure pipelines .

Who is the target attendee?

What can the attendee walk away with?
- How to perform infrastructure management activities with Terraform
- How to build automated pipelines using Azure DevOps
- How to deploy, scale and monitor application with Terraform, Azure DevOps and Kubernetes

17. AKS Autoscaling
18. Azure AKS – Cluster & HPA Autoscaling az aks get-credentials --resource-group terraform-aks-dev --name terraform-aks-dev-cluster -- admin Step-1 Get the credentials of existing cluster Step-2 Scale by increasing no of replica to 20 kubectl describe hpa/asifwaquardemo kubectl autoscale deployment asifwaquardemo --cpu- percent=20 --min=1 --max=10 kubectl get horizontalpodautoscaler.autoscaling/asifwaquardemo Step-3 HPA Scaling kubectl scale --replicas=20 deploy asifwaquardemo kubectl get pods kubectl get nodes -o wide
19. AKS Monitoring
20. kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/dashboard/v2.4.0/aio/deploy/recommended.yaml Step-1 kubectl cluster-info Step-2 kubectl -n kubernetes-dashboard get pods -o wide Step-3 kubectl -n kubernetes-dashboard get svc http://localhost:8001/api/v1/namespaces/kubernetes-dashboard/services/https:kubernetes-dashboard:/prox Locally we can run using kubectl proxy . Run kubectl proxy and access dashboard using below link Step-4 kubectl create serviceaccount dashboard -n default To access dashboard we need service account token. Let’s create it using below command Step-5 Configure Kubernetes Monitoring Dashboard
21. kubectl create clusterrolebinding dashbaord-admin -n default --clusterrole=cluster-admin -- serviceaccount=default:dashboard Now let’s create cluster binding with service account Step-6 kubectl get secret $(kubectl get serviceaccount dashboard -o jsonpath="{.secrets[0].name}") -o jsonpath="{.data.token}" | base64 –decode Get the secret token using below command – Step-7 kubectl -n kube-system get secret |grep namespace-controller-token |cut -f1 -d ' ' | xargs kubectl -n kube-system describe secret or
