OpsWorks apps and deployments

You define the source of your application Apps can be deployed manually Apps are deployed automatically on instance boot Set environment variables

Operational tooling

Streamlined provisioning Continuous configuration Manage users and permissions Manage remote desktop access (RDP) Time-based instances to manage load OpsWorks auto heals unhealthy instances

Lifecycle Events

setup configure deploy undeploy shutdown

Setup event

• Sent when instance boots• Includes the deploy event• Use for initial installation of

software & services

Configure event

• Sent to all instances when any instance enters or leaves online state

• Used for making sure the configuration is up-to-date

Deploy event

• Sent when you deploy via UI/API; part of each setup.

• Used for custom deployment

Undeploy event

• Sent via UI/API when apps are deleted

• Used to remove apps from running instances

Shutdown event

• Sent when an instance is shut down

• Specify shutdown timeout• Used for clean shutdown

Chef resources

Resources describe the desired state Resources have attributes and actions

registry_key "set background color" dokey "HKCU\\Control Panel\\Colors”values [{ name: "Background",

type: :string, data: "86 63 127" }]

action :createend

OpsWorks Chef integration

Lifecycle Events trigger Chef runs

The OpsWorks agents controls the Chef client on the instance

The agent keeps your Cookbooks on the instance up to date

Each Lifecycle event contains list of recipes to run All Lifecycle Events can be triggered manually You can also run single recipes

Stack information

OpsWorks tracks the Stack state This information is accessible in your recipes Use Chef search to access information like the list

of all nodes (instances) in your Stack or Layer

nodes = search(:aws_opsworks_instance, "hostname:db-slave*")

nodes.each do |node|

  ... node[:private_dns]

end

Demo 4IIS + Node.JS Application Example

Conclusion

OpsWorks let you group your projects in logical units (Stacks and Layers)

It automates setup of instances through Chef and Lifecycle Events

It gives you operational tooling like user management
