DevOps Training provided by me

-




Having brought down the environment creation time for Bangalore International Airport Project from three and a half days to 3 hours, all that in one click, I realized that all this was possible due to the magic of "DevOps".

I wanted to share my enthusiasm with a wider group and called for applications for DevOps Enablement program. I also wanted it to be an experiment on how successful it would go with non-Developer or non-tech folks and hence opened it up for people from sales as well. To my amazement, they too were able to pick up these skills easily. Below is the feedback from them on their learning experience.


Below is the Feedback from the attendees of my DevOps Enablement course.
First of all, you are an amazing teacher. I thought I would attend one session, but now I am hooked. Thank you for introducing us to the another side of Ops. In 2 classes you have already managed to answer a lot of questions (cloud, VMs. hypervisors) that have been lingering at the back of our minds. Keep up the good work! I look forward to all the upcoming sessions.

It has been a great initiative having DevOps bootcamp. Having short sessions of couple of hours is what I liked. It's helping me getting to understand many basic concepts that I couldn't due to lack of time while working on our projects.

Running the show with more of interaction is also helping a lot....

And thanks to Packt Publishing I for helping me impart this knowledge in the most engaging way. The Full video course is out you can get more details about it here . You can get more details about the course here without registering. The Overview video is out for all. It was a tough negotiation with publisher to give out this valuable video for free I hope that it will get you started on your "Infrastructure as Code" journey.

(Which until then I was certain that nobody was watching). Good news is Video course royalty is 3 times that of a book! Bad news is because its 3 times the...

Vagrant on steroids

Source This is our life when we are working on automating some really complicated machine building and provisioning procedures. I.e. while developing the playbooks in Ansible, or CookBooks in Chef or manifests in Puppet. It is not easy to fail faster and fix early as the script might have to download all the dependencies again and again. Adding to all the odds, it could be that the dependencies are being downloaded on a low bandwidth. Even though Vagrant makes bringing up VM and their management faster, the provisioning (using Ansible, Chef or Puppet or etc) might take inordinately long times when it involves, and it usually does involve downloading packages on the VMs. And it gets painful when you have to download a full stack of several libraries to test your VM. To help overcome this issue, we can use the following to cache the dependencies and test the configuration scripts or recipes faster, the following should set you up (assuming you have vagrant already installe...
