Implementing Modern DevOps

Cloud Data Centers - The New Reality

In the last few years, there has been a shift toward cloud systems, which enable the companies to scale in an easy and cheap way depending on the needs. They also enable companies to take advantage of something called Infrastructure as Code (IAC), which basically allows you to treat your physical resources (servers and routers) that previously had to be bought according to the needs as code that you can review, run, and re-run to adapt the infrastructure to your requirements.

In this chapter, we are going to walk through the main cloud providers, taking a look at their main strengths and weak points in order to form a clear picture of what they offer and how we can, as engineers, take advantage of it.

Out of all the providers in the market, we are going to focus on these two:

  • Amazon Web Services (AWS)
  • Google Cloud Platform

We are also going...

Amazon Web Services

Amazon is by far the biggest online retailer with an almost worldwide presence. Everyone has heard about Amazon and the possibilities that this type of store present to the busy society of the 21st century: they offer home delivery of pretty much anything that can be bought in a conventional store.

Amazon was founded in 1994 by Jeff Bezos, and since then, it has grown consistently every year, offering more and more products and services, but at some point, they got into the cloud computing business. It makes sense that a big company such as Amazon needs a lot of processing power, is reliable, and is able to adapt to the necessities of the business quickly.

Initially, the cloud services were an internal solution to satisfy the high availability needs of the business as well as have the capacity to grow in a uniform way. This created a lot of expertise within...

Google Cloud Platform

Google has always been at the top of the hill when it comes to technology. Surprisingly, Google didn't have a federated layer of services; instead, it offered every service separately, which was far from ideal in providing a solid platform for developers to build applications on top of it. In order to solve that, they released Google Cloud Platform, which is a collection of services (infrastructure as a service, platform as a service, containers and big data, as well as many other features) that enables developers and companies to build highly reliable and scalable systems with some of the most up-to-date features, such as Kubernetes and a set of unique machine learning APIs.

The interface is also one of the main points in Google Cloud: it offers you a web console where you basically have an available ssh Terminal that is connected to all your services...

Other cloud providers

Unfortunately, there is a limit to the number of concepts we can develop in a book, and in this case, we are going to focus on AWS and GCP, as they are the most feature-full cloud providers in the market.

I always try to adopt an open mindset regarding technology, and there are three providers that I think you should know about:

  • DigitalOcean
  • Heroku
  • Azure

They have a lot to offer and they all are up to speed with the new trends of DevOps and security.

Heroku

Heroku's battle horse is this phrase: build apps, not infrastructure. That is a powerful message. Basically, Heroku is going full throttle with the PaaS concept Platform as a Service, allowing you to avoid maintaining the underlying infrastructure...

Summary

Up until now, we showcased the features of AWS and GCP and introduced some other providers that are very interesting choices when building our systems. One of the advantages of having a good number of competitors in the market is the fact that each one of them has their own strong points and we can combine them by making use of VPNs, creating a big and extended virtual data center across different providers.

Through the rest of the book, we are going to give special attention to AWS and GCP, as they have the most interesting characteristics for a DevOps book (not to overlook the rest of them, but remember, things are limited in terms of space).

We are also going to take a special interest in container clusters such as Kubernetes or Docker Swarm as they are, without any kind of doubt, the future.

This book covers some good high level concepts. However, areas technologies such as Docker, Kubernetes, AWS are moving so fast that the examples provided in this book have become rapidly outdated. Trying to follow the samples become frustrating as you try to figure out what has changed since it was written.
