Traditional relationship between Dev and Ops

●Communication between teams is non existent as they are in different silos.

●Developers wait weeks for a testing environment

●Developers develop on one platform and deployment to another

●Code is not in version control, so rollback is almost impossible

●Code breaks in prod as testing and prod environments do not look the same ( The blame game )

Jeremy Brown

Traditional relationship between Dev and Ops

●Operations does not understand how to install and run the application neither does the developer

●Developers have no clue about the actual load they will face in a real production environment

●Let's be honest. This sucks!

I pushed my codewhy is it not in prod?

Do you have aticket?

Let there be DevOps!

DevOps integrates developers and operations teams in order to improve collaboration and productivity by automating infrastructure, automating workflows and continuously measuring application performance.

Key concepts:●Small changes -> Less Risk●Fail fast and recover vs. Never fail●Culture change: Acceptance of failure

WHAT ARE LINUX CONTAINERS?

Software packaging concept that typically includes an application and all of its runtime dependencies.

● Easy to deploy and portable across host systems

● Isolates applications on a host operating system

● In RHEL, this is done through:

● Control Groups (cgroups)

● kernel namespaces

● SELinux, sVirt, iptables

● Docker

OpenShift

OPENSHIFT V3 INTEGRATES DOCKER

● Multi-version packaging format and isolation

● Simplified container API (Docker libcontainer)

● Easy to create (Dockerfile)

● Atomic deployment (Docker images)

● Large ecosystem (Docker Hub)

25

● Container orchestration at scale

● Wiring of multi-container, multi-host application topologies

● Scheduling / placement

● Manage container health

OPENSHIFT V3 BUILT ON KUBERNETES
