Infrastructure at your Service
For a few months now, we started a huge project at a customer; build a complete CI/CD platform for Documentum. The final goal is to create a CI/CD process for platform and software delivery to reduce as possible the delivery of the releases. To achieve this goal, 2 main products have been introduced at our customer by our DevOps team: Kubernetes (as the new “virtualization” platform) and Jenkins X (for CI/CD). Based on these 2…
On this second day here at DevOps World in Lisbon, I built a very interesting and intensive program of sessions to attend which I will explain to you more in detail below. This was also the opportunity for us (Arnaud and I) to meet our main customer from whom we are working with Jenkins X each day. It is always interesting to be able to meet physically the people with whom we collaborate, even if…
Hi folks, the second day is now over. It’s has been terminated with the SUPERPARTY sponsored by sonatype. Capes & masks were available to celebrates everyday superheroes, LIKE US. It was “sympa”, with music, foods, drinks and so on. But yeah, it was not the only things, let’s come back to the second DevOps Jenkins World day which began with the keynotes. I really loved it. It was animated with SuperHeroes in small cartoon between…
After achieving new challenges during customer activities where I was managing a quite huge project around Kubernetes & Jenkins X EcoSystem, I get the opportunity to attend the DevOps World – Jenkins World in Lisbon.A big thanks as I will better understand all the superheroes in this Jenkins World.The superheroes for me this year is Jenkins X !Today was the 1st day with a dedicated workshop for about ~ 7 hours covering all the important…
Nowadays the market for cloud providers is very competitive. Large companies are fighting a very hard battle over the services they provide. Each offers a wide range of more or less identical products with specific features for each. In my point of view, having deployed Kubernetes clusters in several environments (Cloud and On-Premise), I pay particular attention to Google Cloud for its Google Kubernetes Engine offer. The deployment of a Kubernetes cluster is very fast…
After installing your Kubernetes cluster composed by masters and workers, a few configurations steps need to complete. In fact, the join command is not the last operation to perform, in order to have a fully operational cluster. See how to deploy a k8s cluster using kubeadm here: https://blog.dbi-services.com/kubernetes-how-to-install-a-single-master-cluster-with-kubeadm/ . One of the most important steps in the configuration is the name resolution (DNS) within the k8s cluster. In this blog post, we will see how…
This is something that I waited for a while, in fact since SQL Server 2017 … and the news came out on Wednesday 09th September 2019. Running Non-Root SQL Server Containers is now possible either on the next version of SQL Server (2019) and it has been backported on SQL Server 2017 as well. Non-root SQL Server containers will likely be part of hidden gem of SQL Server new features, but this is definitely a…
A couple of weeks ago, during an internal dbi services workshop about Docker and K8s, I got an interesting question: is it possible to get a big picture of pods connected to one specific persistent volume (PV) by using kubectl command? It was an interesting question because if we go through the usual kubectl command, it doesn’t provide natively the desired output. In fact, one one hand we get information about PVs and their related…
When it comes to troubleshooting processes or to get a deeper look of how SQL Server works internally , I always used debugging tools as windbg on Windows and since SQL Server is available on Linux, I switched to strace tool. But let’s add containers in the game now. I didn’t want to touch any based image for applications including SQL Server with debugging tools added. So, my concern was to figure out how to…
A couple of days ago, I got a question from a customer about an issue he ran into when trying to spin up a container on Windows.
