ObjectRocket

Intern Project Presentation

Overview

• Devtools for Ubuntu and CentOS
• Feature Environments using devtools
• CLI to manage feature environments

Devtools for Ubuntu and Centos

• Use docker-engine directly to run containers instead of docker-machine
• Developed interfaces so we can plug modules for extending to other platforms in future
  • Installing dependencies
  • Configuring Dnsmasq

Feature Environments using devtools

• Now we can deploy one specific feature of the ObjectRocket platform with a URL like

  • https://feature-name.objectrocket.cloud

• We can pass this URL to
  • Users to test / demo the feature
  • Automated testing system

Feature Environments using devtools

• Base image is built using Packer
  • Installs all dependencies
  • Install Nginx for basic auth
  • Clones devtools
  • Pulls all docker container images
  • Image is saved in Rackspace Cloud

Feature Environments using devtools

• Machine for the feature is created and provisioned using Terraform
  • Setup Basic Auth using nginx
  • Pull appropriate container images for the feature
  • Install devtools to start all the services
  • Setup ssl using nginx
  • Machine is created in Rackspace Cloud

Feature Environments using devtools

• DNS for the features environment is created in Amazon Route53
  • A record for the machine is created
  • CNAME for each of the services is created
  • CNAME is used to configure SSL on different ports in the same machine

CLI to manage feature environments

• CLI can be used to
  •  create
  •  destroy
  •  extend lifetime
  •  cleanup

CLI to manage feature environments

• CLI checks if all downstream services are healthy
• Then uses Terraform to spin up a feature environment and saves all the configs in FeatureAPI
• FeatureAPI is built with python Flask and MongoDB
  • Basic CRUD for feature envs collection
  • Deployed in AWS ECS using CircleCI

Demo

• Building devtools image using Packer

  • packer build -machine-readable template.json

• Creating Feature Environments

  • ./feature create vars_file env_file ttl

• Managing feature environments
  • extend, destroy

Thanks Team

For helping me do this :)
