Why Attend LISA?

"If you're a sysadmin slaving away in a metaphorical basement and re-inventing the wheel every time your employer's business goals change slightly, LISA will help pull you into the light."

Marc Chiarini, Long-Time IT Admin and Researcher, MarkLogic Corp

"LISA is the best mix of training, talks, and networking of any events I've been to. That's the reason I've been to 11 of them.”

LISA14 Attendee

"No matter if you are dealing with the latest tech or trying to maintain something from the dark ages of the ‘90s, there are people at LISA who are experienced with it. Heck, many of the people who _developed_ this tech attend. This is a great place to get answers and ideas."

Lee Damon, University of Washington

"I like seeing where the industry is heading, how SysAdmins/engineers are evolving, tools they are using, common problems and solutions across the world."

LISA14 Attendee

"Great sessions, great presenters, great community. I feel like I can make up a year of following news and forums on the subject in a week."

LISA14 Attendee

"LISA is the home of ops people who do ops correctly. I’m always motivated by the conference content and hallway conversations to be better, and I take home the knowledge needed to move closer to that goal. "

Tony Del Porto, Cisco Systems, Inc.

"This was my first LISA. It was great attending a conference that focused on my role without trying to shoehorn every challenge into a specific vendor's solution. The same mix of awesome sessions, speakers, and other attendees will bring me back every year."

LISA14 Attendee

"In a world where technology changes rapidly, it's hard to find great resources for in-depth expertise. LISA has a terrific combination of people who create the technology and people who implement it effectively for their companies."

Matt Simmons, Northeastern University

Automated Build and Deployment of Docker Hosts and Containers

Mini Tutorial
Thursday, November 12, 2015 - 2:00pm-3:30pm

Bill Fraser and Dimitrios Liappis, Pythian

Bill Fraser, Pythian

Bill Fraser is a Principal Consultant for Site Reliability Engineering at Pythian, an organization providing Managed Services and Project Consulting to companies whose data availability, reliability, and integrity are critical to their business.

With almost 15 years of experience, a strong background in systems architecture and design, and expertise in automation, high availability and service discovery, Bill is well positioned to speak about what works (or doesn’t) as teams adapt to increasingly complex infrastructure.

Dimitrios Liappis, Pythian

Description: 

How do you successfully take a Dockerized application from an existing dev/test environment and build out a production-ready, scalable, service-oriented architecture in the Cloud? That was the challenge Pythian faced, and in this tutorial we’ll walk you through our approach to the problem.

Attendees will learn how to use tools such as Ansible, Packer, Shipyard, and Consul to automate build, deployment, orchestration, and service discovery of Docker containers. Source code and configurations will be provided so participants can follow along on their systems or join the instructors in the LISA Lab space to work through specific problems.

Requirements:

  • Vagrant (https://www.vagrantup.com)
  • Vagrant hostmanager plugin (https://github.com/smdahlen/vagrant-hostmanager)
  • VM provider such as VirtualBox

It will be necessary for attendees to download and add a copy of the virtual machines prior to the tutorial. A source code repository URL will be provided containing instructions on how to obtain the VMs.

Who should attend: 

Technical professionals, including System Architects and SRE/Software Engineers, interested in leveraging modern DevOps tools to create an automated, continuous delivery pipeline.

Take back to work: 

Attendees will leave the session with an understanding of proven use cases and patterns, as well as ideas of how you can leverage technology such as Ansible, Packer, Shipyard, and Consul in your Docker-enabled environment.

Topics include: 
  • Ansible for configuration management and task management
  • Ansible Tower for job scheduling and storing sensitive data
  • Packer and Ansible local provisioner for automating the creation of Docker containers and importing into a private registry
  • Shipyard for providing orchestration of Docker containers, including automated deployment and lifecycle management
  • Consul, Registrator, and Consul Template for service discovery and dynamic configuration updates
