  1. Install docker with the following command:
    yum install docker
    systemctl start docker

  2. Then we need to install the kitchen-docker ruby gem.
    chef gem install kitchen-docker

  3. Create a cookbook:
    chef generate cookbook my_cookbook

  4. Edit the .kitchen.yml file in the generated cookbook.
    Change the driver name from vagrant to docker and delete the line
    - name: centos-7
    Save and close.

  5. Then execute kitchen converge. This command will create a docker container for us and put all the settings in place.
    The output will be something as follows:
    Synchronizing Cookbooks:
    - my_cookbook (0.1.0)
    Installing Cookbook Gems:
    Compiling Cookbooks...
    Converging 0 resourcesRunning handlers:
    Running handlers complete
    Chef Client finished, 0/0 resources updated in 18 seconds
    Finished converging <default-ubuntu-1604> (7m3.52s).

  6. Then run kitchen list
    The output will be something as follows:
    Instance Driver Provisioner Verifier Transport Last Action Last Error
    default-ubuntu-1604 Docker ChefZero Inspec Ssh Converged <None>

  7. Now we need to verify whether the test was successful or not. Execute
    kitchen verify
    -----> Starting Kitchen (v1.17.0)
    -----> Setting up <default-ubuntu-1604>...
    Finished setting up <default-ubuntu-1604> (0m0.00s).
    -----> Verifying <default-ubuntu-1604>...
    Loaded tests from test/smoke/default

    Profile: tests from test/smoke/default
    Version: (not specified)
    Target: ssh://kitchen@localhost:32768

     

    User root
    ↺
    Port 80
    ↺

    Test Summary: 0 successful, 0 failures, 2 skipped
    Finished verifying <default-ubuntu-1604> (0m3.62s).
    -----> Kitchen is finished. (0m6.58s)

  8. Edit the file vi test/smoke/default/default_test.rb
    Add the following lines to it:
    describe package('cowsay') do
      it {should be_installed }
    end

  9. Then run kitchen verify. This test should return failed:
    >>>>>> ------Exception-------
    >>>>>> Class: Kitchen::ActionFailed
    >>>>>> Message: 1 actions failed.
    >>>>>> Verify failed on instance <default-ubuntu-1604>. Please see .kitchen/logs/default-ubuntu-1604.log for more details
    >>>>>> ----------------------
    >>>>>> Please see .kitchen/logs/kitchen.log for more details
    >>>>>> Also try running `kitchen diagnose --all` for configuration

  10. Edit the following file vi recipes/default.rb
    Add the line package 'cowsay'
    Then execute kitchen converge and then kitchen test.
    The output should be something like
    System Package
    ✔ cowsay should be installed

    Test Summary: 1 successful, 0 failures, 1 skipped

Terraform

By
Terraform is a tool for building, changing, and versioning infrastructure safely and efficiently. Terraform can manage existing and popular service providers as well as custom in-house solutions. Configuration files describe to Terraform the components needed to run a single application or your entire datacenter. Terraform generates an execution plan describing what it will do to reach the desired state, and then executes it to build the described infrastructure. As the configuration changes, Terraform is able to determine what changed and create incremental execution plans which can be applied. The infrastructure Terraform can manage includes low-level components such as compute instances, storage, and networking, as well as high-level components such as DNS entries, SaaS features, etc. The key features of Terraform are: Infrastructure as Code : Infrastructure is described using a high-level configuration syntax. This allows a blueprint of your datacenter to be versioned and...

Helm: Installation and Configuration

By
PREREQUISITES You must have Kubernetes installed. We recommend version 1.4.1 or later. You should also have a local configured copy of  kubectl . Helm will figure out where to install Tiller by reading your Kubernetes configuration file (usually  $HOME/.kube/config ). This is the same file that  kubectl  uses. To find out which cluster Tiller would install to, you can run  kubectl config current-context or  kubectl cluster-info . $ kubectl config current-context my-cluster INSTALL HELM Download a binary release of the Helm client. You can use tools like  homebrew , or look at  the official releases page . For more details, or for other options, see  the installation guide . INITIALIZE HELM AND INSTALL TILLER Once you have Helm ready, you can initialize the local CLI and also install Tiller into your Kubernetes cluster in one step: $ helm init This will install Tiller into the Kubernetes cluster you saw with  kubectl config current-context . TIP:  Want to install into a different cl...
