How is this solved ? • Golden images. • Not refreshed regularly • Designed by committee • Doesn’t ﬁt individual needs • Requires someone spending a day or two to build. • Every developer has special needs. • Self built • Not repeatable • Time wasted, less productive @hibri WinOps October 2016

Do’s and Don’ts • Do script Vagrant with config management scripts • Do have a Vagrant file per project • Do use the same config management scripts as used for production services. • Avoid provisioning heavyweight apps ( Visual Studio, SQL server) . Use Packer to build these instead. • Encourage reuse within your organisation. • Also see Boxen (https://github.com/boxen) and Boxstarter (http://boxstarter.org/) @hibri WinOps October 2016

Why do I useTerraform ? • Tool for building, changing and versioning infrastructure. • Manages dependencies between infrastructure components. • Share your infrastructure code. • Use the same declarative language between different providers. @hibri WinOps October 2016

Do’s and Dont’s • Do use CI pipeline to apply changes from the beginning of a project. • Don’t use Terraform to provision applications. Use appropriate tooling for it. Puppet, Chef etc. • Do use Terraform to provision the infrastructure so that other provisioners can run. @hibri WinOps October 2016

Summary • Packer to build Vagrant boxes for virtualisation and cloud images. • Vagrant to spin up and share development environment setups. • Terraform to simplify creating infrastructure and to version. • All of these tools are automation friendly. • Add automation tactically @hibri WinOps October 2016
