Implementing DevOps on AWS

Chapter 2. Start Treating Your Infrastructure as Code

Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands in the air, for Programmable Infrastructure is here!

Perhaps Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) is not an entirely new concept considering how long Configuration Management has been around. Codifying server, storage, and networking infrastructure and their relationships, however, is a relatively recent tendency brought about by the rise of cloud computing. But let us leave Configuration Management for later and focus our attention on that second aspect of IaC.

You should recall from the previous chapter some of the benefits of storing all the things as code:

  • Code can be kept under version control
  • Code can be shared/collaborated on easily
  • Code doubles as documentation
  • Code is reproducible

That last point was a big win for me personally. Automated provisioning helped reduce the time it took to deploy a full-featured cloud environment from four hours down to one, and the occurrences of human error to almost...

IaC using Terraform

One of the tools that can help deploy infrastructure on AWS is HashiCorp's Terraform (https://www.terraform.io). HashiCorp is that genius bunch that gave us Vagrant, Packer, and Consul. I would recommend you look up their website if you have not already.

Using Terraform (TF), we will be able to write a template describing an environment, perform a dry run to see what is about to happen and whether it is expected, deploy the template, and make any late adjustments where necessary-all of this without leaving the shell prompt.

Configuration

Firstly, you will need to have a copy of TF (https://www.terraform.io/downloads.html) on your machine and available on the CLI. You should be able to query the currently installed version, which in my case is 0.6.15:

$ terraform --version
Terraform v0.6.15

Since TF makes use of the AWS APIs, it requires a set of authentication keys and some level of access to your AWS account. In order to deploy the examples in this chapter you could...

IaC using CloudFormation

CloudFormation is an AWS service for deploying infrastructure as code. As before, we are going to describe our infrastructure via templates containing parameters (variables), resources, and outputs.

CloudFormation calls each deployed template a Stack. Creating, listing, updating, and deleting stacks is possible via the AWS Console, CLI, or API. In a small setup, you would probably deploy each of your stacks individually, but as your architecture becomes more complex, you can start nesting stacks. You would have a top-level or a parent stack (template) that invokes a number of sub-stacks. Nested stacks allow you to pass variables between them and, of course, save you the time of having to deploy each one individually.

Configuration

CloudFormation provides a GUI via the AWS Console; we however, are going to focus on the AWS CLI since it is most suitable for automating tasks in the future.

Depending on the OS you run, you could download an installer from https://aws.amazon...

Summary

In this chapter, we looked at the importance and usefulness of Infrastructure as Code and ways to implement it using Terraform or AWS CloudFormation.

We examined the structure and individual components of both a TF and a CF template then practiced deploying those onto AWS using the CLI. I trust that the examples we went through have demonstrated the benefits and immediate gains from the practice of deploying infrastructure as code.

So far, however, we have only done half the job. With the provisioning stage completed, you will naturally want to start configuring your infrastructure, and that is what we are going to do in the next chapter on Configuration Management.

Key benefits

  • • Work through practical examples and gain DevOps best practices to successfully deploy applications on AWS
  • • Successfully provision and operate distributed application systems and your AWS infrastructure using DevOps
  • • Perform Continuous Integration and deployment and fine-tune the way you deliver on AWS

Description

Knowing how to adopt DevOps in your organization is becoming an increasingly important skill for developers, whether you work for a start-up, an SMB, or an enterprise. This book will help you to drastically reduce the amount of time spent on development and increase the reliability of your software deployments on AWS using popular DevOps methods of automation. To start, you will get familiar with the concept of IaC and will learn to design, deploy, and maintain AWS infrastructure. Further on, you’ll see how to design and deploy a Continuous Integration platform on AWS using either open source or AWS provided tools/services. Following on from the delivery part of the process, you will learn how to deploy a newly created, tested, and verified artefact to the AWS infrastructure without manual intervention. You will then find out what to consider in order to make the implementation of Configuration Management easier and more effective. Toward the end of the book, you will learn some tricks and tips to optimize and secure your AWS environment. By the end of the book, you will have mastered the art of implementing DevOps practices onto AWS.

Who is this book for?

This book is for system administrators and developers who manage AWS infrastructure and environments and are planning to implement DevOps in their organizations. Those aiming for the AWS Certified DevOps Engineer certification will also find this book useful. Prior experience of operating and managing AWS environments is expected.

What you will learn

  • • Design and deploy infrastructure as code within your AWS Virtual Private Cloud
  • • Implement Continuous Integration using AWS Services
  • • Configure EC2 instances using SaltStack
  • • Implement Continuous Deployment using Jenkins and the AWS CLI
  • • Collect important metrics and log data to gain more insight into infrastructure and applications
  • • Troubleshooting popular issues with some less known techniques using the AWS platform

This is a very good book on DevOps for AWS with an emphasis on CloudFormation, Terraform, SaltStack and Jenkins.I am preparing to take the AWS Certified DevOps Engineer Professional in two weeks. This book is on my must have, must complete list before taking the exam.For normal CI/CD processes at work, this book fits in perfectly. Very deep technical introduction to the entire CI/CD and DevOps processes on AWS with several popular third party applications (mentioned above).I highly recommend this book. Note: You should already have a solid understanding of AWS, but if you don't this will definitely show you what you need to learn and the amazing possibilities in deploying to the cloud on AWS.

For one, the title should actually be "Implementing DevOps on AWS using Terraform" since it only covers this as the method for doing so.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
