Infrastructure at your Service
During the last DevOps Day in Geneva, I presented a sample of our CI implementation related to our MSSQL DMK maintenance product. It was definitely a very good experience for me and good opportunity to get feedback from DevOps community as well. During the session I explained our CI pipeline includes SQL Server containers both on AKS (K8s as managed service in Azure) and Windocks. I got questions from some of attendees who asked me…
It has been while since my last blog. Today it is about continuing with helm charts and how to upgrade / downgrade SQL Server containers to a specific cumulative update. My first write-up in my to-do list. Last year, I wrote an introduction of SQL Server containers on K8s. I remembered to face some issues when testing upgrade scenarios (probably a lack of knowledge). Since then, I have discovered helm charts and I use them…
Docker EE 2.1 is a Containers-as-a-Service (CaaS) platform on-premise or in the cloud. To manage your cluster of containers, Docker EE allows you to install UCP (Universal Control Panel). When you plan to install the UCP 3.1.2 in Azure, the installation fails during the deployment of the UCP service. You will get the following error message. [[email protected] ~]$ docker logs ucp-reconcile If you google the error message you will get a lot of answers…
This write-up follows my first article about helm chart with SQL Server. This time, I would like to cover the availability groups topic and how to deploy them with helm charts. In fact, to go through this feature for AGs was motivated to its usage in our Azure DevOps CI pipeline in order to deploy a configurable one on an AKS cluster with SQL Server 2019. If you look carefully at the release pipeline, Windocks…
During the last DockerCon EU in Barcelona, I heard a lot about Helm with K8s architectures. It was also a good opportunity to write about it after attending to this conference. In a nutshell, Helm is a package manager for K8s and you may think of it like the other ones available on the Linux side with apt, yum or zypper to cite few of them. Helm charts are a key component of the Helm architecture and…
In short, a very interesting event for both Devs and Ops. Every day was organized around workshops, hands-on-labs sessions and Hallway tracks. My colleague Mehdi Bada and I tried to attend as much sessions as possible but obviously it was difficult to cover all the topics. Anyway, workshops and hands-on-labs were very interesting especially if you like to mix theory and practice. But I had to admit sometimes we got in trouble to keep up…
Wednesday was the last day of the DockerCon18 Europe. Like the previous day, we started the journey by a keynote of 2 hours, more oriented “Docker Community”, the core message of the keynote, the community is one of the pillars of open source technologies and Docker Inc want to push more and more the community aspect. The community is growing very fast and competitive. They take the opportunity to award the community leader of the year and a…

The main message of the first part of the keynote was: “How Docker can help you to make the digital transformation of your business”….
As a football fan, traveling to Barcelona without watching a football game is inconceivable, so I started my travel by attending the game against Villareal in Camp Nou 😎 DockerCon Day 1 Today, with David Barbarin, was our first day at DockerCon2018 in Barcelona. The conference is located in a huge conference center and split between types of sessions including workshops, keynotes, hands-on labs, and hallway track. The first day was only focused on workshops, hands-on labs and hallway…
Seit 30 Jahren bin ich in der IT-Branche tätig, hatte immer wieder mit Oracle mit RDBMS Systemen zu tun. Nun, seit bald 4 Jahren als Berater bei dbi services habe ich sehr viel Berührung mit Oracle Datenbaken, daher auch mein Besuch der DOAG 2018. Mit grossem Interesse reiste ich zur DOAG nach Nürnberg und hatte mir vorgenommen zum Thema OpenShift und Container, diverse Sessions zu besuchen. Warum OpenShift? Nun seit einiger Zeit sehen wir Projekte(PoC) bei unseren…
