Welcome to read our blogs
Testing Ansible automation with molecule
We are heavily believers in that you should store your server infrastructure in a Git repository, so we decided to live as we preach! Everything that we install in our Demo environment should be automated with Ansible and versioned by Git. This to:
- Save time when setting up a demo environment
- Fight the demo ghost - we need our demos to be consistent each time we deploy them
- Being able to reproduce our infrastructure on new platforms(physical/virt/cloud) from time to time
- Get traceability on what changes have been made
- Get an immutable infrastructure - instead of troubleshooting simply create new infrastructure components
Install Vagrant and libvirt (KVM) on RHEL7
While working with Molecule-based tests on our Ansible roles, I had to install vagrant and libvirt (KVM) on my RHEL7 machine to quickly spin up instances for test purposes. (will cover the Molecule stuff in a later post). The advantage of using Vagrant is that it downloads the pre-built Vagrant boxes that are ready to be consumed with in no-time.
Writing new blog on Jekyll
I was asked how to write a new blog into our Jekyll. It’s really straight forward. Here’s list of steps you need to do.
Creating VM to RHV by Ansible
This time I’d like to describe a handy way we have for creating a virtual machine into our lab. Normally in ITIL organisations it is something behind a slow ticket. We wanted to have demos for our work, and don’t want to repeat manually the steps to do basic tasks. Instead we want to quickly do by press of a button, within few minutes:
Install Jekyll on RHEL7
While I was creating this blog I needed to get Jekyll tooling on my laptop. I happen to be fan of Linux, and decided to eat our own dogfood. I recently installed RHEL7 on my laptop instead of the normal Fedora.
Day0 for this site
Last Friday we had a hack day amongst our Red Hat Nordics SA colleagues. During such hackdays we spend time together to enhance our demos, and nowadays specificly our Demo LAB. Yes, we lucky bastards got our own demo lab :D, woot woot! I’ll start our blog series by describing how I created this web site.
