Once upon a time… waterfall model

● Sequential process● Manual testing● Scheduled releases● Hard to deploy● Physical

infrastructures

#1 OpenStack Day Milano 2014 - CC BY - ClouDesire

Nowadays… lean, agile, #buzzword

● Rapid-changing requirements

● Faster iterations● Automated testing● Disposable cloud

resources

Focus on infrastructure risks

● A jungle of IaaS providers, multiple API dialects.

● Different environments for each application: development, staging, production.

● Environments grow fast as the app requirements.

● Server configurations should be tested, too.

Let’s start to aim the target

We need to...● manage infrastructure with code● define infrastructure as code● version infrastructure as code● test infrastructure as code● do it faster and more often. Continuously.● Automate all the things!

Automated Infrastructure

● Stop thinking about servers and start to model services and resources

● Infrastructure as a code● Build reusable components to manage

resources● Integration Testing

Automated Infrastructure - Opscode Chef

● Opscode Chef http://www.getchef.com/● Chef relies on reusable definitions known as

cookbooks and recipes that are written in Ruby.

● Cookbooks and recipes automate common infrastructure tasks.

● Chef applies those definitions to servers to produce an automated infrastructure.
