Unbox Development in Production

My talk for JSConf Asia 2015, building a PHP Dev Box with Vagrant. It uses puppet for provisioning & VirtualBox as the provider. Metadata, guest:ubuntu/trusty64 | host:OSX/Yosemite | port:1234

Transcript

1. Unbox Development in Production JSConf Asia 2015 Nov 19+20, Singapore
2. encountered Have you this..
3. A new developer joins your team… Then you spend your next couple of days setting up their tools, development environment, configurations & etc.
4. Another developer from your team finds a tricky bug.. But you couldn’t reproduce it on your machine.
5. Solution
6. open source platform for software containerization, designed for fast delivery of applications. It allows to create lightweight, portable & self-contained apps.
8. Create & configure lightweight, reproducible & portable development environments. It wraps around virtualization software apart from its support for configuration management.
9. # download a simple VM $ vagrant box add base http://files.vagrantup.com/ precise64.box # initialise $ vagrant init # boot the VM with above configurations $ vagrant up
10. • A command-line VM management tool for developers • Enables Portable Development Environments • Invented by Mitchell Hashimoto (Jan 2010) • Open Source http://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant • Providers VMware, VirtualBox, AWS • Provisioners Puppet, Ansible, Chef, Salt
11. a PHP dev box.. Provisioning
12. • Before we start, install these: VirtualBox, Vagrant • Provisioning: Puppet • Vagrant Provider: VirtualBox • The Vagrantfile internally refers a Shell Script for software setup • The Shell Script sets up the MAMP stack (installs Apache, PHP, MySQL & PHPMyAdmin with default configurations)
13. Demo
14. $ git clone https://github.com/hamzeen/vagrant-php-box.git $ cd vagrant-php-box $ sudo vagrant up visit here (once) to create the database and tables http localhost:1234/firstrun // clone the git repo // setup, build & deploy the vagrant project
15. We are done here! The app is ready to serve you at: http: localhost:1234 </> Want to start your own vagrant project & spin up a VM of your choice? $ vagrant init debian/wheezy64 $ vagrant up </> Changed Vagrantfile? $ vagrant reload $ vagrant up

17. Vagrant vs Docker Showdown
18. • Both allows to configure portable Dev Envs & employ LxC (Linux Containers) Vagrant • Focus: Portable Dev Envs • Virtualization: Interfaces with VM Managers • Since Jan 2010 Docker • Focus: Production & Deployment • Containers not Virtual Machines • Fast • Since Mar 2013
19. Thank You You were awesome!
