what is a SCM system?
SCM Systems Provisioning Change management
SCM on Modern Systems
From 1 machine to many
Working on the wrong server
From 1 sysadmin to many
Who did what?
What do we need? All changes documented All changes must
be repeatable All changes in one place Accesibles for anyone All changes must be traceable
What does traceable mean? What have been changed? When have
been changed? Who made the change?
What do we do? Configuration by hand Wiki One or
few scripts Better scripts + Wiki Better scripts + Git/Svn Custom SCM (script+git+ssh loop)
How is a modern SCM? Declarative Abstract Idempotent Convergent
How is a modern SCM? Declarative Abstract Idempotent Convergent What
NOT How
How is a modern SCM? Declarative Abstract Idempotent Convergent How
it should behave Rely on the tool for the implementation
How is a modern SCM? Declarative Abstract Idempotent Convergent Only
take action if it’s needed
How is a modern SCM? Declarative Abstract Idempotent Convergent Each
resource takes care of itself
Key concepts Modern SCM
Modern SCM’s concepts Resources Nodes/Minions Recipes/Manifests/Playbooks Inventory Roles/Profiles
Some extras do we have time?
Avoid manual processes They are error prone
None
But be careful ;-)
Make Apps SCM friendly Separate data from code Allow to
use ENV variables Set default options But allow overwrite them with conffiles
Do NOT hardcode settings!!! Ever!
Make Apps SCM friendly Use the dependency managers Composer Bundler
Pip npm Maven
Make Apps SCM friendly Use flags to activate features Use
standard formats Think about settings per environment
Recomendations Start small Think in policies not in manual changes
Use Vagrant for developing policies
