The Spock Guide To Think Out of The Vagrant Box

Presented at Australasian Open Source Developers Conference 2013, Auckland, New Zealand : A wrapper around VirtualBox and configuration management beauties such as Puppet and Chef, Vagrant is a great piece of open source software to create and configure your ideal development environments, virtually. This talk will try to discuss how a developer, administrator(operator) or both, can take advantage from Vagrant and how it helps in modern days multi­environments server provisioning and of course, to demolish the standard “works on my machine” pretext

7. What on earth
8. Vagrant VM without GUI simple wrapper around vbox/vmware
9. Vagrant tool for building and distributing development (working) environments
10. Vagrant lightweight, reproducible, and portable
11. Vagrant Mac, Windows, Linux
12. Vagrant working environments made easy (locally or in the cloud) Plugins (shell, chef, puppet, cfengine, salt, ansible)
13. Agenda What on earth.. For what reason.. So how to do that.. Ok, now what.. Hey, can I .. Summary
14. "Developers are like vampires. They're frequently up all night, paler than death itself, and generally afraid of being exposed to daylight. Oh yes, and they tend think of themselves (or at least their code) as immortal." - www.codinghorror.com
15. “System Administrators are like werewolves. They may look outwardly ordinary, but are incredibly strong, mostly invulnerable to stuff that would kill regular people -- and prone to strange transformations during a moon "outage". - www.codinghorror.com
16. For what reason super duper working container easy to configure, reproducible portable work environments
17. For what reason maximize team productivity and flexibility
18. Developers <3 Sysadmins
19. Agenda What on earth.. For what reason.. So how to do that.. Ok, now what.. Hey, can I .. Summary
20. 1: Get it all warmup Install virtualbox https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads Install vagrant http://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/installation/index.html
21. 2: Initialization Download, Initialize $ vagrant init precise64 http://files.vagrantup.com/precise64.box
22. *3: Hack Your Vagrantfile Port forwarding, Networking, Fine tune resources, Provisioning .. *optional, extra fun guaranteed
23. 4: Dive in Up and away $ vagrant up Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider... [default] Clearing any previously set forwarded ports... [default] Creating shared folders metadata... [default] Clearing any previously set network interfaces... [default] Preparing network interfaces based on configuration... [default] Forwarding ports... [default] -- 22 => 2222 (adapter 1) [default] Booting VM... [default] Waiting for machine to boot. This may take a few minutes... [default] Machine booted and ready! [default] Configuring and enabling network interfaces... [default] Mounting shared folders... [default] -- /vagrant SSH $ vagrant ssh
24. Agenda What on earth.. For what reason.. So how to do that.. Ok, now what.. Hey, can I .. Summary
25. Ok, Now What Remember this?
26. Ok, Now What Finally...
27. Developers <3 Everybody
28. Teamwork devs isolate dependencies and their configuration within a single disposable, consistent environment, without sacrificing any of the tools ops disposable environment and consistent workflow for developing and testing infrastructure management scripts dsgnr automatically setup everything required for that web app
29. V for Victory!
30. Agenda What on earth.. For what reason.. So how to do that.. Ok, now what.. Hey, can I .. Summary
31. Hey, can I .. Build my own box from 0? How about my own SSH keys?
32. Hey, can I .. Build my own box from 0? YES Custom box with veewee https://github.com/jedi4ever/veewee
33. Hey, can I .. My own SSH keys? YES config.ssh.* default.private_key_path private_key_path default.username username ...
