Debugging Spinnaker Apps Live, Spinnaker Summit 2019 Nov 01, 2019

Show notes

Spinnaker Summit 2019 Preview: Debugging production issues in any environment can be challenging, and Spinnaker has its production learning curve. Problems aren't always replicable in a smaller environment, and DEBUG messages can be verbose and confusing to triage what's happening. Our DevOps Chat guest Chuck Lane, Salesforce Lead Software Engineer, is giving a talk on "Debugging & Profiling Spinnaker Applications Live" at the Spinnaker Summit 2019. In Chuck's talk, you'll learn skills like remote JVM debugging, custom profiling builds, and the magic of figuring out what's going on with a multithreaded microservice using htop! Chuck's talk is on Saturday, November 16, at 3;40 PM PT. Spinnaker Summit 2019 is November 15-19 in San Deigo.

Canary Deploys with Istio: Lessons Learned, Spinnaker Summit 2019 Oct 30, 2019

Show notes

Spinnaker Summit 2019 Preview: Canary deploys give us a window into how new code deploys perform in production on a limited basis. The technology holds great promise in helping us learn the positive or negative effects of deploys without putting the more extensive set of microservices, application functions, and beyond at risk. How do you route traffic? How do you apply a virtual service manifest? Is there a quick way to perform a smoke test to find server errors? When comparing metrics from new code to old, how do you know which results are good or bad? There is a lot to know and learn how to deploy and use Canarys. Our DevOps Chat guest Omar Al-Hayderi (Engineering Manager and Principal Engineer at Autodesk) is giving a talk on "Canary Deploys with Istio: Lessons Learned" at the Spinnaker Summit 2019. His talk is on Sunday, November 17, at 1:30 PM PT. Spinnaker Summit 2019 is November 15-19 in San Deigo.

Spinnaker Plugins: Extending for the Enterprise, Spinnaker Summit 2019 Oct 29, 2019

Show notes

Spinnaker Summit 2019 Preview: Secrets Management is vital to any vibrant DevOps and GitOps toolchain. As part of its opensource maturation and thanks to the contribution of our DevOps Chat guest, Spinnaker now has a secure secrets management capability enabling GitOps, taking non-application secrets out of plaintext in Hal config files. (Always a good idea!) Cameron Motevasselani, Software Engineer at Armory, is giving his talk "Spinnaker Plugins: Extending Spinnaker for the Enterprise" on Sunday, November 17, at 10:45 AM PT. In addition to his contributions to Spinnaker's new secrets management facility, Cameron shares the work in progress to create an extensible Spinnaker plugin system. The current work is an early MVP to be followed by the implementation of PF4J and concrete extension points as part of Spinnaker stages. Spinnaker Summit 2019 is November 15-19 in San Deigo.

Spinnaker Extensibility Using Run Job and Webhook, Spinnaker Summit 2019 Oct 25, 2019

Show notes

Spinnaker Summit 2019 Preview: Most open source software isn’t one size fits all, and Spinnaker is no different. While it captures the most general use cases of software delivery, most organizations find that it lacks some features they need to automate their entire delivery pipeline such as integrations with internal tooling or compliance systems. Out of the box (figuratively), Spinnaker provides Run Job and Webhook stages that teams can use to build custom integrations to help fill any void and enable adoption by a wide range of users. Ethan Rogers, Staff Software Engineer with Armory, joins us on DevOps Chat to share a preview of his Spinnaker Summit 2019 talk on Spinnaker extensibility. Ethan shares how Run Job and Webhook stages are used to build custom stages to capture any number of use cases with no code and simple configuration. He also covers situations when it's necessary to write code. Ethan's talk, “Making Spinnaker Your Own”, is Saturday, November 16, 3:45 PM, at Spinnaker Summit 2019 in San Diego. Separately, Ethan appears on the "State of the Kubernetes V2 Provider..." panel Friday, November 15, 2:30 PM.

Using Drones, Containers, Imaging, and AI For Farming, Spinnaker Summit 2019 Oct 24, 2019

Show notes

Spinnaker Summit 2019 Preview: Never underestimate an entrepreneur looking to solve a real-world problem. Aerobotics is bringing drones, imagery, mapping, containers, Kubernetes, Spinnaker, data pipeline processing, and machine learning to agriculture. Sounds interesting, right? Aerobotics uses aerial drones and sophisticated image processing to help growers manage yield, pest & disease in their farms through Artificial Intelligence. Speaking at the upcoming Spinnaker Summit in San Diego, Aerobotics’ head of software Nick Coles, shares with us how his company evolved from making drones to map orchards into a software company using raw image data to create high resolution, georeferenced maps of orchards. Aerobotics technology is comprised of a map engine and tree engine. It's both a fascinating problem space and exciting application of cloud-native technologies, including Spinnaker. This episode of DevOps Chats features a preview of Nick's talk; “The Future of Farming with Aerobotics”. Nick's talk is on Sunday, November 17 12:30 PM, at Spinnaker Summit 2019 in San Diego.

Why Cloud Native, API Centric Apps Require Built-In Security, Lacework Oct 23, 2019

Show notes

In the traditional datacenter world, security was (or is) very network-centric. Firewalls, IDS, Network Access Control, focus on the aggregation of all traffic traversing in, out, and across the network. Cloud-native applications rely upon different constructs and methods of building applications. It's not just the software and technology stack that requires different security in the cloud-native era. We can't just surround cloud-native applications with security; we must build in security. And to do that requires you understand how container and microservices applications are made using DevOps. You must think about how DevOps works to build in security properly. Enter Lacework, a platform built for DevOps teams to build security into cloud-native applications. Vikram Kapoor, Lacework Co-Founder and CTO, joins DevOps Chat to explore API-centric applications and infrastructure-as-code. We discuss how to build security into cloud-native applications through the DevOps-based software creation process, and not only rely on runtime security technologies. Vikram also discusses some of the planned uses for the recent $42m round of funding.

Scaling a Migration to Continuous Delivery at Airbnb, Spinnaker Summit 2019 Oct 19, 2019

Show notes

Spinnaker Summit 2019 Preview: Airbnb is rapidly moving from a monolith Ruby on Rails application to a distributed SOA/Kubernetes architecture in Kubernetes. The new architecture uses self-service codified pipelines and easy webhook integrations scale adoption and collaboration across the company. Even though continuous integration isn't new to Airbnb, every team now needs to be able to scale CI across 100's of containerized services in AWS EC2. Software Engineer Brian Wolfe co-led the decision to move to Spinnaker and build in more automation. At one year into the project, Airbnb has 40 services in production with many more to follow. This episode of DevOps Chats features a preview of Brian's talk; “Scaling a Migration to Continuous Delivery (Aribnb)”. Brian's talk is on Saturday, November 16 11:00 am, at Spinnaker Summit 2019 in San Diego.

Automic + CA + Broadcom, a Release Automation Journey Oct 18, 2019

Show notes

The life of an acquired company can be an exciting one full of unexpected twists and turns, and that’s been true of Automic software. Scott Willson, a repeat podcast guest and long-standing member of the DevOps community, joins us again on DevOps Chat. He describes his acquisition journey as being akin to a “barracuda, eaten by a great white shark, eaten by a whale." Scott is Product Marketing Director - Release Automation at CA Technologies, a Broadcom company. (The new proper name of Automic + CA + Broadcom). Scott shares what it’s like being a software DevOps company inside Broadcom, whose strong roots come from the chip manufacturing business. While software has its many differences from chips, of course, Scott shares how many of the DevOps principles and heritage from lean manufacturing made the transition easier. There are valuable lessons here for all of us. Amid all the change, Automic shifted its products to the freemium model. Automic Continuous Delivery Director is now free to use for up to 10 active releases. We talk about the upcoming releases which also includes machine learning. Join us as we bob and weave through the acquisition story into the world of continuous automated delivery. And look for Scott at the DevOps Enterprise Summit the end of October.

InfluxDB Cloud 2.0 Managed Service For Time Series Data, InfluxData Oct 17, 2019

Show notes

We can’t seem to generate enough data. And as they say, you haven’t seen anything yet! Cloud-based managed services are a natural solution to ingest, store, and access large amounts of data from a variety of sources across private and cloud locations. An enterprise solution hosted in the cloud is good, but a developer-friendly, API -based solution, with non-enterprise usage-based pricing, reaches an even broader audience. Enter InfluxDB Cloud 2.0. The name just about says it all. InfluxData VP Products Tim Hall joins DevOps Chats to discuss their new cloud-based time-series database offering. InfluxDB Cloud 2.0 represents that shift to a cloud-based, developer-friendly offering with much greater accessibility. We discuss their use cases, the free and usage-based pricing, the new FLUX language for querying, analytics, and data processing, common APIs, and that TICK stack. TICK stands for Telegraf, InfluxDB, Choronograf, and Kapacitor. It is a feature-rich conversation, so join us. Also, check out InfluxData's October 16th webinar; Optimizing Time Series Performance in the Real World. https://webinars.devops.com/optimizing-time-series-performance-in-the-real-world
