Vagrant for PHP Developers

Slides for my talk at PHPBenelux 2014

Transcript

2. whoami • @erikaheidi • Brazilian, living in Amsterdam since 2012 • PHP <independent> developer, eventually sysadmin • Using vagrant for about 1 year
3. What to expect from this talk • Introduction to Vagrant • Provisioner Tasting: Ansible, Puppet and Chef • Vagrant usage research – results
5. “It works on my machine” - every developer, ever
6. 1. Why Vagrant • Reproducible and portable dev environment • Enables easier code collaboration • Backend env tests / benchmark • Automation Tools learning and testing
7. 2. How it Works • Vagrant manages vms using a Virtualization software like VirtualBox • Beyond that, it runs a provisioner to setup the vm environment • You just need to run vagrant up
8. 3. What you need (basic) • Vagrant [1.4.x] • VirtualBox [4.3.x]
9. 4. The Vagrantfile • Where you define the vagrant project settings Vagrant.configure("2") do |config| config.vm.box = "precise64" config.vm.box_url = "http://files.vagrantup.com/precise64.box" config.vm.provision "shell", inline: "echo hello, this is a simple Shell Provisioner!" end
10. 4.1 Defining the Box # this is the simplest thing that does something Vagrant.configure("2") do |config| config.vm.box = "precise64" config.vm.box_url = "http://files.vagrantup.com/precise64.box" end
11. 4.2 Defining the Network Vagrant.configure("2") do |config| config.vm.box = "precise64" config.vm.box_url = " http://files.vagrantup.com/precise64.box" config.vm.network :private_network, ip: "192.168.33.101" end
12. 4.3 Defining a Provisioner Vagrant.configure("2") do |config| config.vm.box = "precise64" config.vm.box_url = "http://files.vagrantup.com/precise64.box" config.vm.network :private_network, ip: "192.168.33.101" config.vm.provision "shell", inline: "echo hello, this is a simple Shell Provisioner!" end
13. 4.4 Shared Folder Vagrant.configure("2") do |config| config.vm.box = "precise64" config.vm.box_url = "http://files.vagrantup.com/precise64.box" config.vm.provision "shell", inline: "echo hello, this is a simple Shell Provisioner!" config.vm.synced_folder "./app", "/vagrant" end
14. Output
17. 5.1 Ansible Syntax YAML Scripts Playbooks Execution Order Sequential Modularity Many built-in modules Popularity Quite new, community is growing fast Documentation Clear, objective Note: requires installation of extra package (ansible).
18. 5.1 Ansible: playbook #simple playbook example --- - hosts: all sudo: true Tasks: - name: Update apt apt: update_cache=yes - name: Install Nginx apt: pkg=nginx state=latest
19. 5.1 Ansible: Output
20. 5.2 Puppet (puppet-apply) Syntax Custom based on Ruby Scripts Manifests Execution Order NOT Sequential Modularity Very easy to find modules on internet Popularity Very popular, with a large community Documentation A bit confusing
21. 5.2 Puppet: manifest #manifests/default.pp Exec { path => [ "/bin/", "/sbin/" , "/usr/bin/", "/usr/sbin/" ] } exec { 'apt-get update': command => 'apt-get update', } package { 'nginx': ensure => "installed", require => Exec['apt-get update'], }
22. 5.2 Puppet: output
23. 5.3 Chef (chef_solo) Syntax Ruby Scripts Recipes Execution Order Sequential Modularity Many “cookbooks” available on internet Popularity Popular, big community Documentation Chaos!
24. 5.3 Chef: recipe #cookbooks/nginx/recipes/default.rb execute "apt-get update" do command "apt-get update" end apt_package "nginx" do action :install end
25. 5.3 Chef: output
