Infrastructure at your Service
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…
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…
Provisioning a K8s infrastructure may be performed in different ways. Terraform has a connector called the Kubernetes provider but it doesn’t allow building and deploying a Kubernetes cluster. The cluster must be up and running before using the provider. Fortunately, there are different cloud-specific provider depending which cloud provider you want to provision your cluster. In our CI pipeline for the MSSQL DMK maintenance, we provision SQL Server containers on Linux to perform then different…
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…
Today was the OpenShift Partner Introduction Day by RedHat. This event happened at Lausanne There were people with different backgrounds. After presenting the RedHat compagny, the speaker explained what is Openshifts and why people must adopt it. What we will retain is that OpenShift is trusted enterprise Kubernetes With OpenShift we can for example -Automated, full-stack installation from the container host to application services -Seamless Kubernetes deployment to any cloud or on-premises environment -Autoscaling of…
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…
Last week, we had the chance to attend to the CloudBees DevOps Playground in London. The event was a presentation and a Hands-On on Jenkins X done by one of the most popular guys from the CloudBees, Gareth Evans. Before taking an interest in Jenkins X, we focused most of our time in the Docker and Kubernetes part. We enhance a lot our skills during the last months on the administration of Kubernetes cluster and…
To bootstrap a minimal K8S cluster for testing purpose, kubeadm is a very interesting tool. The goal of this blog is not to explain to you the K8S architecture or the components but only the deployment part. using kubeadm. The final architecture of our cluster will be the following: Source:https://elastisys.com/2018/01/25/setting-highly-available-kubernetes-clusters/ Docker Installation The first step is to install Docker on each cluster node: yum install yum-utils device-mapper-persistent-data lvm2 yum-config-manager \ –add-repo \ https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/docker-ce.repo yum update…
