From YouTube: Keptn-in-a-box - delivering Autonomous Cloud out of the box

Description

Keptn-In-A-Box is part of the automation for delivering Autonomous Cloud Workshops with Dynatrace. This is not a tutorial but more an explanation of what the shell file set up for you on a plain Ubuntu image.

A simple Bash script will set-up a fully functional Single Node Kubernetes Cluster with Dynatrace installed and Kubernetes Cluster, Cloud Applications, and Events monitoring enabled. This script is used as userdata when spinning up elastic compute images (ec2) in amazon web services, but it can run also manually in a Linux machine or VM with snap installed. The tested distro is Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS For spinning up instances automatically with AWS completely configured and set up, and also automating the creation and management of Dynatrace environments.

A

So welcome everyone to the next captain developer.

B

A

For today, I'm very happy to have one of my friends here Sergio and he is going to present his captain in a box. Automation. So is that a lot of automation with captain and to make it easier to use captain in a box to use captain our kind of outside of the box to end a lot of automation to spin up the cluster to install applications, no need to instrument air occations already with monitoring to provide all the dashboards to provide like an environment.

A

I was I was really amazed when I saw this the first time, I, even I'm, still amazed already with this nice overview, which is a presented this like, which is the presentation layer, I would say, but before we are jumping into the demo. Just as a heads up, we have a couple of new things coming up in the next captain releases and there is a new blog post out there so make sure to check out the medium.com slash captain and you will find a new blog post on all the new.

A

All the new features that are coming with the next release with captain, which will be seared on seven. That's the next major release and we already have a couple of like sneak preview out so make sure to check this out. But for today we are going to jump into this demo and for this I think it's easier. So if you share your screen and I would stop my screen sharing here for all the folks that are joining, feel free to ask questions by our Q&A feature and I will.

C

Portion of my screen.

C

So let me know if this is okay, can you read good yeah? It's fine.

C

C

So hi everyone, my name- is Sergio I'm, a sales engineer in dielectrics working in the market in India. So here's my Sigma information, my Twitter email, and if you have any question regarding dynaTrace or captain well, captain we have these guys damages. Of course I mean I would like to help you right. So what is captain in a box? Well, the idea actually came from Andy.

C

Basically bash file right, but in other words, on a fancy word you can call Inc is the automation of putting a single node name is first three and I kept a name it and everything you need to deploy a test at a performance as a self-service penetration ethanol right that the project is in the Kenda captain sandbox right. So this file is program in a modular way, so you can, with enabling Flags, set up everything that you want right. So how does it work so inside this box is just a plain one to image right.

C

So if you take a look window image, you can have a background file or you can have it in your computer and by running this file it will set everything up for you. It will set up even docker, so you can build your own apps, it will say micro, kubernetes, it's certified, keep your name is released from Punto I, really like them, and I really like how how, instead of so, you can change cover illustration for fourteen to fifteen to sixteen and a couple of seconds. Literally the bash final trader puts east.

C

You assist you, you have helm, it has an energy next in greece gateway. One explain why it even has a certain manner. We can request urban. As your show all your endpoints are with HTTP power right. Why? Because when I do workshops, or especially with customers in corporation where they have high security standards, you cannot access anything with plain HTTP. It must be without valid certificate. So this way is not a problem to have a even a remote session. A remote workshop with the valid HTTPS you.

B

C

That having something right, I will set up the one agent active gate, newscaster monitoring. We have this new feature where we can monitor all your club apps and get all the events this event, all that in an address and put it into the aii right, that's actually really cool. So how does it work in a simplified? In a technical view, important to show before I start with automation?

C

We have a medium next aim, ingress so basic. Basically, that's what we're gonna use! That's the entry point where we have for a ATM for 443 and through the nginx we're going to route all the traffic to east you, because normally, when you have East you, it will connect to the cloud controller. You can look at the right side and the cloud controller would give you an idea of iws or whatever you have it right, but since we're using resources effectively, meaning we have only one single node cluster, one machine or your VM.

C

What we use is like the IP, the public IP of your machine with the engine in the next increase, we're going to make a mapping to all the services right so just by mapping the ingrian ingress gateway. That's gonna! Do the mapping later for all the apps that you deploy with captain, so you have all the stages and everything and just with a magic domain, meaning you put the IP and the batch file does that right, so it will get the public IP and with a magic model, mainly io.

C

You can then later resolved all the subdomains right, for example, in captain you have kept under the API where, like that kept on forgetting to the API we're exposing also the cool it is API, so you can communicate I mean. Maybe you have seen this image this image of a minute, so in a similar to various faster, you have to work at the master inside of it and everything is managed by snap T. So normally the most important components is the proxy cube with an API server.

C

So with the nginx ingress, you will route the truck the traffic go back. Yet to the HK server and then to the processor, it is messy from and then everything will happen inside what I use is an RTA. Well, I call it. Rta is a Python program and you see, captain is captain in a box on the left side because for doing workshop, I want to have everything automated so with a just.

C

A Python file and ICSD found I can put 50 emails and developers or customers and I run it and automatically I will spin up all the instances. I will create an address diamonds and bound everything together. So the attendees just came into the machine and they have everything already. Ok. So let's start so. This is the file. So, let's just pick through the program.

C

This is my mistress to do right. So this is just my CSV file. I just added two new lines: ok, so I have nothing has been created. Everything will just run so I type PI RTA. What we did it's showing me my flags, so these are the different flags we're going to create so we're going to create the dynaTrace tenant user group. The captain in a box is here, create easy to instance, because the bash file is optimized to run to run in full route as a user date.

C

The user data is a concept in AWS. When you spin an image, you can put a bash file and it will then set it up for you. So that's where you can enter and then you get the IP, so we can create dashboards and everything in diametric right. So.

C

You can see here we're going to run the action for developer, 1 and development.

C

Now for developer 1, you see different actions create tenant, so we're.

B

Going to create the dynaTrace environment.

C

For this user we're going to create the user, a user group, so this guy will get an email and lock Dmitry's has his captain dashboard and everything in it. We create the instance you can see. This is the instance ID, and this is the IP right of AWS and then after we fetch the AP. We put it into that and I notice in some dashboards, so the user can access to the dashboard and have access to the Machine right.

C

So we created just in and just to nothing to show you that it doesn't work for one it can work also for 50 or 400. Doesn't matter right. So.

A

Okay, so I was just curious. So at this point you have already created the machines where, with the go to image and the machines kind of sets themselves up, they will be like setup themselves. So you don't have to wait in this script because it's in the user data and.

C

Now exactly so now, I can go drink, a coffee do whatever I want, and now everything is doing everything for me right so, for example, and.

A

I can look in and we can see.

C

The script running so, let's, let's copy the second one, for example, the develop 13 right I- can make a stage to this machine right and you can see. I cannot really look any so now I'm inside the machine. It just made this I'm inside the machine.

C

If it's too small to read, let me know so: I can make it a bit bigger. I.

A

Think it's fine yeah.

C

Okay, so this is the script, isn't really running for us right. So let's look at the beginning. It says in it installation of the day by root, ok, say: they're, not makeup, you need it. So, by the way it says does does not have a clean difference. Why? Because it's not, it doesn't have a terminal right. So the bash final is optimized for not having a terminal. So there is.

C

There are no questions to answer so, like you know, when you spell cap- and you have to say yes for the domain- you passing the domain and say yes, this talent on the file itself, so we can go all the file and see everything that is going on in style. All this installation is controlled by controls back so in here you can see enable DNS storage and in Teaneck ingress. So all the flags are by default, true, but you can control them right.

C

So, let's see right now it just finished and it enabled the kubernetes dashboard. So the community does release also enabled an extent and expose why? Because for educational purposes you can show the out-of-the-box functionality and as well all the linkage to time entries right. So we let it work for us and on the meantime, I showed I explained a little bit there. The repository right so in what would the batch file does and if it there is a question just ask please.

A

You know I just want to point out that basically it's already on the captain sent box. So if you guys want to check it out yourself, if you want to clone it, if you want to play with it, maybe searcher will first walk us through and then you can just take it and and use it and yeah I doesn't know what what do you think one question because it just came to.

B

A

There any significant difference between micro, kubernetes and mini cube, and there are different options out there and is there any background behind.

C

For me, it's just well. Micro communities is.

B

C

Lightweight right, so just I have not played along a lot with mini cube. There is a problem with mini cube. Having the default stack agent write some binary problem. That was a long time ago. I haven't tried again so for me it was just the way to go. Just to go with. Might remover name is because Mike removing it is I mean, has it wound on a bone? It's an operating system that has no problems with the full stack and the operator. Numerator is something in managers where we can monitor.

C

Clusters of kunais clusters with a with an operator is decay, so we roll out of the time 1:18 automatically, meaning we can monitor all the parts of the world automatically and.

B

For me, that was the main reason to.

C

B

From my side, okay for captain itself for the development mini cube is fine. If you develop with it as soon as you want to have a production set up, although mini cube, is definitely not the way to go. For instance, mini cube will have problems with persistent volumes, and you shouldn't use it for that. Micro-Communities on the other side is really meant to actually have a production deployment like it says here, autonomous low ups queuing. It is that's basically, it is also good for IOT, but you can use it on any virtual machine.

B

C

All these functionalities I have not had any problems right, so these.

B

C

Are doing a really good job? To be honest, so the bash script in a nutshell, what it will do. This is easy to read and the work file. So let me just.

C

Then we'll install docker. Why? Because, then you can build your own apps right, like target will start to run out. It will start removing it and you will not notice a difference between hoover cube CTL and you can do all the q CTL commands. You have even auto completion of cube CTLs or you can navigate for all the namespaces and parts it will at the end we're going to create the user. Why?

C

Because- and this is with parameters, so you can give access to someone else so what I did now I access, my my machine with my pen, file and I thought I want to keep anyone, my pen pal, but I'm, creating a new user for all these guys that they give a workshop. So they can access it with a password right. So I can set up the user and password for Mike or whatever, so he can access with his password. That's what I said right and he will have everything set up.

C

We installed Easter helm. We use the public IP with a magic domain, meaning if I go this way with only two ports, that port 80 and 443. We can have expose as many services as we want right. Like captain does it, you have the captain API, you have the bridge. If you want to expose it the applications in different namespaces everything right, so it will install the one agent as well. One I think if you want everything to have to be monitored, so we can see what is happening in there.

C

It will deploy unleash. So you can there is this tutorial with captain that you can activate a feature flags it move on or the suction app right. So that's. If you want one word or not, that you can control all that with the flags. There is a catholic generator also for the demo, so you have always traffic to all the different stages and we'll have a teaser, the teaser that we'll show you right. Then it will create valid certificate with let's encrypt and certain managers.

C

Certain manager is a package that can create, with let's encrypt, will create certificates and valued at the endpoints that you want right and that's it. So this is the batch file. We're going to take a look at it now prerequisites only to have a loved one to image optional. Of course, if you have a dynaTrace tenant, it's really good, because you can have a monitor right away. You don't have to configure anything. You just put the URL and the tokens. That's it if you have an AWS account, it's even better! Why?

C

Because there is this program, the rest and to mention that I, just quick showed the one that I used, because even to create an instance, you have to. Let me just show what you have to do.

C

In other words, you have to log in click on launch selected, select the size, and you might need to do it for ten guys, 2050 right. So this way you can just automate it run. It you're done with your work. You can stop it or destroy it and you're not paying anything. Ok, I.

B

C

Just for what you used so.

A

Just one question, because we got a couple of questions in n1: it's just. We can answer this right away here. I guess! If you know, if there is any license for micro, kubernetes or if you can just use it out of the box, not a licensed.

C

C

No, no it's a window, maybe from under it like the same okay,.

A

Cool and just for clarification, so the Python script you showed us in the beginning: that's the one that is really creating all those instances in the AWS cloud and the best script. Here we are taking a look at if we can use it also to work on other, like also for Google or exactly so. This.

C

Is Annie exactly so this script I can run it in my beautiful box in Google in anywhere right. The only thing it is optimized to run run as fruit, because, as you see data, it runs as root right and it's optimized to run for boot. While you go to because you have snap, so they wait to install make. You believe this is just snap installed micro and that's it right. So actually we can take a look at installation. Okay, let me start here where everything putting into the log file.

C

So that's why we can see on the while the script is running all the actions, and these are the facts so you put in here. This is able to you, sir right normally, but if you change it, then you can- and this is for the instance. So the interest is that I'm, creating the user will with an address and a password Diane trees. I can change that, of course, because not it won't secure password at all these.

C

These variables might item program, put it automatically, because he'd created a tenant that he was not existing. It created, get goat. The tokens.

B

C

Put those variables in queue does the only thing my Python did well, along with creating the.

B

C

And running so, and all these flags is what you can then set up to set up the only one as false is very smooth. All the others are set to true install docker micro set up some aliases I can show you some aliases that helped me a lot to work with you, CTL + VI, the magic domain enable the dashboard enable the registry, so you have a box with your own registry. So that means you can build your own images and push them to captain with the realm charts.

C

So they can go the pipeline without having to use taqueria or something right which is really cool. Then it wouldn't start certain manager, helm captain.

C

We are cloning, the excellent examples of captain, so you can do the tutorials its cloning, the resources of the captain in the box, because there are some demo files, so you can take a look at it, so how we are exposing with the nginx increased, making the map into Easter and to at the end, to live to the captain services right.

C

That is configuration we're storing the credentials in a file for confusing the monitoring configuring active edit or exposing the bridge deploying the teaser is just the product we're putting at the main domain right and that's a and him here are all the actions that start all start work. The definition of the action is at the end of the file right because they work they're, not gonna, run they're gonna run here. This is the definition of the action and this how all the fog would run right.

C

So, if I take a look back to the tenant so ah by the way, and then let me just show the file, let me just make it a bit bigger. This is we found? Shall we update it so in here, I have the access to the tenant. So if I'm developer, one I got an email, then I go to my dynaTrace tenant.

C

Access it on our own element aside me, but I will get the access if I the program will create all the access for this user for his own tenant. As you can see, this is the captain. Dashboard is created by by captain when you configure it monitoring with a mattress, but the application also created their own right, because the Python program has a drag and drop functionality with different folders, so you can drag and drop dashboard drag and drop.

C

Request attributes, for example, request that the load test integration- everything is already set up right for creating load test and analyzing the load test. So this dashboard is also pre-configured me as developer. One eye can see um this is my user into this IP, so I can access this IP right now with shell right, I have links to my application. So this is the link of captain in the box. Tell you it's right now. It's already deployed right.

C

There is a link to the pipeline, so you can see it's still deploying so I can see the development is already there staging. Is there production? It would be there to look at that and we can take a look at the captain bridge so, as you can see we're using the same Ikey with different subdomains right so in the sock shop, these are the stages in the cards. Then we can see how we're already deploying one configure configuration change of the first version.

C

All right, as you can see in the staging we're already finished with the test right, the woman is taking baseline, retrieval and I, make the evaluation and then push to the next stage of the production right. That's pretty good awesome I would be interested. How are you doing.

A

The automation of the deployment of the application, so are you using the captaincy lie or are using captain API to start the actual deployment of the cards? Micro, service and expertise.

C

Both because the bash script, it's calling captain and the captain CLI is then doing the rest API at the end. So if I, if I look into the machine so now it's looking, for example, as the user, it will be dynaTrace at this one. So if I take just a plain bash right, so it's just necessary dynaTrace.

C

Then it's three- and this is just the IP just enough fancy splash, because it is the same as having adult I just fine.

C

The batch file also activates the SSH, because normally it is not set up, but in this case we do it. Why? Because.

C

C

And I can see I'm already deploying this is already everything deployed right, kept them safe manager and the structure you can see the structure is there and it's already started. You have as well kept them exactly you kept on and kept the missile ready, even configure, because if I do status, it says hey I'm, already configured to kept on it yeah and really. What is also really cool is I, don't know, always a big problem if you have available machine are certificates.

C

If you want to work with API stuff well, the idea is to have this box, and then you can say it up put it in your corporation and then make performance as a service managers and Andy has a really cool service where you can make performance, took any actress award for from this machine right.

C

So, let's imagine you have a machine with logic or something and having performance problems spin, this up put the surface of Andy and you can make a lotus to that machine back and the API we're exposing captain API and as well kubernetes api with the valid endpoint to show you that if everything worked fine, this is not secure right because it's plain HTTP. But if we do PS there you go right.

C

You see connection is secure because the certain manager create about certificate during the installation.

A

So in the third manager is doing this for the nginx inquest right, exactly I see.

C

Is it possible to skip yes, it is possible to skip the server manager, the flags to control that will be.

C

There are two flags, it is.

C

Certain manager install so what this will do is just like the install with the acute ETL and the enable is setting up the engine active the ingress week. The clusters issuer right. It's just awkward right thing: they did with the cluster nature. That's it so.

B

C

This both the false you have everything as I as I just show without segmented you cool.

A

Awesome we got a couple of four, so that was actually a question that you are already answered. Then we got a couple of more questions around the creation of the dashboards and, if I understand it correctly, so there are two different approaches here. One approach is: when you install captain- and you do the configure monitoring with captain, then you have the dashboards out of the box. That is kept.

A

We need to thank you / captain like they have old sock shop and you could have the same forward unleash if you also doing unleash on the server. But here we can only see this one because maybe I'm leaf is not yet deployed. I think your first go through the sock shop and then maybe afterwards you deploy unleash. There are other dashboards that you are creating inside your patch swift right. Yes,.

C

Not on the badge the badge will not set dashboard. The dashboard are set up the the Python program, the RTA. Why? Because yeah, because that there is.

B

C

I control, if I showed an image. Let me just go back to the PowerPoint. This is the RTA right because in captain I'm, just inside Ubuntu image right but in the RTA is where I have the whole visibility of what is happening. So one thing is just spinning. The image for all the other actions is setting up the environment properly and, for example, you see here on the right side set of application rules like best practices like service renaming, processor agreement.

C

So all my micro services have proper naming right words as well management zones, so you can set up all that as well right because.

B

C

Program, I not only use it for for for captain workshops, but also for all the kind of worships right. So you can have different manage zones and independence of kubernetes and stuff like that.

A

Also, can we go back to your script and I would be interested also, if you show us how you do the automation to do the deployment and start basically to start the captain workflow you do this. You said fine, yeah, sorry by the sea line right the.

C

Yes, so, for example, we can just scroll down these aren't some aliases right, which I find really cool. So actually, let me just tell you this Bay mo some we're. Never getting in the Internet I found out this bagel and lace and visa are really cool aliases for all of you that work with a lot of whiskey or I, because let me just show you what they do right: okay, so keep CDL. Okay, for example, this low generation right.

C

This is a pot that generates load for the cards for the different stages right so and the cards right. If you normalize this, you know so yeah, but then is it quite difficult to read right, but then we can do type. They know, and this way I'm gonna have the mo file in a readable format, I'm piping through VI and I put and I. Let the I know that this is yeah mode, so I can have the proper syntax. The same we go yeah, it's cool right, the same with Jason.

C

If we say this is Jason, you know you're always having from trying to read Jason, but you do it like this and then you say D son for di Jason and then you can read it and the cool thing you have it in cash. So now I can sync right to a proper file and I cried it to a file. Then edit keeps it they'll apply and your time that's.

A

Pretty cool yes, so.

C

Let me just go back. Sorry go back to the file, yes, so this is the installation of make october nearly so, as you can see, this is the point. This is the interval installation, snap, install micro right there we're putting privilege mode because the full citation grunts the privilege mode right. So you can monitor all the parts in the cluster right, so some maintenance iptables over to make sure everything connect QCT element of the completion the captain commands. So this is third manager just.

B

A quick question if I may interrupt did I see this right. There's active Kate installed as well. Yes,.

C

It's already even configured, it's not only in style, is configured with the whole workloads and cloud. So let me just show this is the install. This is the kisser right deploy homepage.

C

This is the configuration.

C

1:18 p.m. captain right because.

C

So this is just the onboarding of the cards right, so we go see the examples, because we clone the examples and then we do a bash into the shell file right and this shell file has a captain.

C

Captain command. Ok, so these are just the captain commands from the tutorials. So for all of you that didn't say what is the shell doing? Well, if you go to the captain in a box resources which is pretty much sorry get them in a box here, so everything that the file needs is in the resources right for battery is exposing the home page, even the doctor file. So just like, if you like, for example, this page.

C

This captain in the box, if you like it, you have the whole source. There is in here HTML or profound, and.

C

A

Pretty cool- and we cannot see that it's already possible to do a lot of automation around captain, because we like everything's, provided for you to use right. There is no need for interacting during the whole setup of the captain in the Box. You only define everything in the beginning, and then you run the script and you're done, and you have everything to show us exactly.

C

So, actually, what I do here, I stopped by on morning, the the first image by the way and I'm setting as well the quality great already so I'm pushing on really through a quality gate? But if I, say okay, this worship I want to show even from the beginning. So I just put this to false, so everybody does their own boarding from the beginning. But if you imagine how much time does it take you for set up this manually like it's now, downloading style download make a type of problem.

C

So this is why they were to mention it's so so important cool.

A

Awesome so we have all questions coming in for you. One question is: is there any possibility to use some other DNS instead of I/o I know that captain of the Box uses exactly and you are using the bio, but is there any possibility to configure this? Yes.

C

There is as we there is not a way I mean we. Should it's not difficult to pass a domain right, because it's almost there I just haven't done it in a way to to set your own domain, but it's already there. So let me just show you and by the way, this a kubernetes batch board already getting information from the active gate.

C

Come back to this, so you can see the running parts and all the active gate. The cluster monitoring, the CPU, the course memory- and these are the the limits of the Cuban- is cluster. So, if I go back to the shell file, let me use the word at the top, so you will see setup magic, the main public IP right. So, if I go to this one, it is here set of magic domain. So what is very-- get the public AP with a curl right and then just map it to the mid Bayou.

C

Why I just use me by you because I found? Is it's not very so common and use taxi? Are you because I used I just used CIO, but there is product you have probably specially when people in North America wakes up, then you will have a reliability problems with the DNS resolution and meet bio I in the perform event that we have in Vegas this year. I had two hundred instances or something like that. None of them had an issue.

A

Cool and if you want to use your own than you can just absolutely awesome, it would be the line where you change it to your own domain. If you have it.

C

Thank you. So the idea will be just put to modify the script and put the domain here right, so you can as tenant talk an API token, for example, put the only it flows, and then you pass the dough me to hold it because the way it works. Actually, if you setup, is the ingress right, you will see that the domain is passed along, for example, here exposed east here and we're passing the domain right. So this has nothing to do with me. Real cool.

A

And also I know you've seen it, but we've also integrated the the command to configure the domain in the capital. C live exactly.

C

That's really cool because by having that it allows you to have because captain does it right. It looks at the for default. It looks at the IP of the load, balancer right, the load balancer. Let me just show you, which is you, have your your increase gateway from Eastern and the load balancer. The cloud controller on the right side will give you that IP. But if you have this micro, cuvette minis, you don't have a cloud controller, you will be able to configure it, but I think it's a mess and it's really cool I.

B

C

Why would you have a micro proven here that you can have a cluster right.

A

That's that's pretty cool.

C

Yes and the active gay, for example I'm here you can see kubernetes integration and there is a cluster api kubernetes right. So this through this endpoint via HTTP, we are monitoring already deserve, and this happens automatically. I can switch now to the other environment, so you can see, for example, if this is be found. This was developer one. Let's take a look at developer to right and developer to will have the same. So this is. They complain that were of developer to and there it is halo developer to welcome to use cover names, cluster right.

A

Yes, so that's pretty cool you could also because there are, there are more questions coming in, so you could also use this and I think you explained it already, but you can use this on the plane, buta machine, which is running maybe on your local machine if you're, spinning of the VM or you can use it in the cloud and it would work both ways exactly.

C

So I have there is an engineer in you better know. If he's in the meaning, he uses a vagrant file. So with a vagrant file. He puts this shell file in a big friend and he actually probably raised Adobe, because if he does curl, if config is that I get the idea of the home router right. So when he puts his 192 network address from inside his house and we kept on full-blown all functionality and everything in there cool.

A

Thank you. Can we go to the to the captain's bridge once again missing so.

C

This is the bridge of the second one awesome.

A

And just let's check how far we already deployed because I think we're already running input.

C

Idea, I think it's already done a test finished production right, so production here is the emulation right.

A

Already ever the quality gate set up here and we can, the response time was with 260 264.

C

Exactly really growing I will have added more easily because at least I I want to put 3 decimals right the response time failure rate true food right, because if I have a colony cake at least I want to have a base. I know that I have the problems. Now that I have a response time, but it's acceptable and to have true to right, at least at least I need to have 1,000 requests, and you can set up. You know with wood.

C

Captain is just a string right that you serve llamo fountain, that's it, and this trench matches the idea of services in diamond trees. We have a lot of metrics out of the box that the one agent gets from your services right failure. A dependency is all that, so you can put it in you and you're done with performance.

A

Awesome what I also like is I, can see that you are upgraded to an early access version of the captain's which it's pretty cool, so yeah, which is pretty awesome, I, think there is a new one actually available. If you want to upgrade yeah I can maybe change them yeah, it's easier for everything, automated I! Think for you, it's very easy to upgrade. Yes, yeah, something else I'm on it, because we have more questions coming in.

A

So it would be also possible to have the captain internal git repository link to a github repository right, because this is what we are also kind of advocating when you want to know. What's really going on inside captain and captain smaller adopts approach, then, when you set up a project- and you do captain create project, you can link it to a or you can define they give up upstream, so you have or you basically maybe two to bitbucket or gitlab or or github. You.

B

A

And I would assume you can also add this in your in your automation, file, right, I, I,.

C

Don't have a but I have an.

A

B

C

The instant has an automatic, instant repository, so you can push your own images right, so that is reasonable.

B

That's nice and one more thing that you could do is you could have your own git server running actually, for instance, get tea or get Tia I don't know. What's the correct pronunciation is a very lightweight git server that looks very similar to what github does, but very, very lightweight. You can have that actually installed with your whole script and then maybe for for workshop settings. This is really nice because, all of a sudden, you have like everything running in one central piece and even.

C

B

Could, even if you have your own container registry, you could even use an air-gapped system if you have to.

C

Believe is that you have all the modules so in here one question is: how much do you need like well, I said, at least for my test having it with load is like two next large right with eight cores and 32 GB of RAM, but it works also with 4 cores or less.

B

C

How much apps and functionality you want to add in it right, because another idea is just to improve it, for example with the cool service of the chinking service. So in order to have that, we can deploy our own Jenkins server with Jenkins and that we can validate any application outside of Kempton with.

C

Different use cases that you can tackle with this.

A

Another question: that's coming in how much storage do you recommend for the Ubuntu box? You already explained the size when it comes to the number of course, and the memory code is there any limitation of the storage? If.

C

You enable the dark, erase history. Well, it depends on my how many images you want to store in there, but if you don't them with the basic one, I think, if you start an image, it will be 8, gigabytes or something later yeah I think well. But if you have the active gate and all that at least I would say 26 and that's it because, then you will have a unit for the one engine for captain for all that.

C

A

So you would recommend to increase the default a little bit from eight to two, maybe twenty, sixteen to twenty. Maybe yes,.

C

B

C

Me just check, for example, there is in this file. This is the the RTA, so the RTA is also parameterize right. So, for example, this is the definition of the of the AWS right. It's a JSON file, and in here you can modify everything the pen, a match which image you want to file which user data.

C

This is the user data Kappa in the box right the image ID, let's see, for example, tagging volume science in here I have 13 right yeah, so everything is parameterized, but I will say: maybe 20 not more than training yeah.

A

Awesome, you're, really cool, really cool I, think that's that's great stuff and it makes it so much easier to have like a workshop environment. I think it's already easy to install captain. Everyone should be able to install captain just with the CLI but to set up the whole workshop environment and I. Think that's really the purpose of your automation to set up a working believe it.

C

Captain is really easy, but you need approval. It is faster right and then you have eks gke and all that which are really fast and easy to set up but they're, expensive right. This is not expensive. You don't pay any license right. So that's that's for me, the most one of the really cool things that you can take any important image and run your kubernetes cluster. So you.

B

C

Who is closer in order to learn right, I.

A

Love it, it's really. It's really great because you have everything set up and you can just like experienced captain work with captain see what morning actually is for the quality gauges. You can. You have a hands-on demo and I think during his life demo I know we had a lot of questions from the community, but I think like spinning up the instance and having the first versions deployed to becau decades, I think it maybe took us like five or ten minutes, so it was really fast. Yeah.

C

There is actually that time, I can tell you exactly how much time it took. So if we do less.

C

It logs the time so this time it took nine minutes and nine seconds we valid certificates and everything set up. So if that is done, it will be even faster.

A

That's pretty cool, speaking of like making it easier for people to to experience captain to to learn captain to have a demo environment. So we do have a new home for captain content, which is tutorials dot, captain Don SH, maybe you can do me a favor and go to yes. It's.

C

A

So we do have this new home and we already have a couple of tutorials here from the captain Corky, but also from the captain community.

A

So it's everything in captain is open source, so also also, of course, this is open source everything behind it. It's not magic. It's a basically also marked on file, so you can take your read, miss you already might have for your project. You can take those remix and just add a little bit of media information to it. So we can generate the two towards here so surgeons.

A

If you're I would like to invite you to also write the tutorial on your take your readme and convert it to a tutorial because I think explaining the steps in this kind of tutorial and if you click on model those and maybe on the Oracle Bach, because it's like brand-new, we just on the or million if I, request, I, think I cannot request remote control.

A

But if you can do me a favor and on the right top corner on the screen, if we can go to the articles, if you want yes this one, so we can see it's really easy. It's just a couple of steps to work through this and you will have all the explanations so I guess we.

B

A

Also use this mechanism for a lot of other tutorials and a lot of a lot of content. It's.

B

A

Of digest the content here and to experience some use case within that.

C

C

A

It's so behind the scenes we are using the framework from google, which is called code labs, it's also an open source project, and it makes it very easy to write these kinds of tutorials in the format which makes it hopefully, enjoyable and fun for others to walk through tutorials yeah. So this is something we are actively working on.

A

So I would also invite you to to work with us to try this because I don't really allow with you what you're doing it makes it so much easier to spin up this cluster and just experience all of those of those use cases we basically provide. We have seen continuously memory with the quality gates. We have not seen the automated operations part with self-healing, but I'm, just assuming it's also in there, because I saw the unleash :.

A

Awesome so you can take in sections work. You can really get started within 10 minutes. You have all the installation already, because if you're getting started setting up your kubernetes cluster in the cloud, it takes a little bit more time because when a this has to be like the incidence, do you spin up spun up the Q&A? This has to be ready. You install captain, you work through all the examples you.

B

A

They're Joe's example: he will walk if, like all the automation until you pass the first quality gates and then you can jump in and maybe deploy it slower version and then see the captain quality gates in action. But the driver is already done with with your with your great automation, automation,.

C

Exactly that's the idea, because I want them to learn how to improve the quality right and not how to set.

B

C

That you can do another time, but it's like the most important is the K. How can I make my apps faster? How can I, which s allies, are important right and all that, and by having this, you can already start doing you work exactly.

A

And I love what you just said, because it makes it possible to focus on the concepts of SL ice and s ellos, and not focusing on the tooling, to install something and to pick the right versions of something but really focusing on SL eyes and SLO based quality gates, because there is really one part of captain which we want to emphasize and which we, which we want to advocate. Put your SL. You have to have your SL ice and then write your ester nose. Instead,.

C

A

Writing all your API calls and, having like custom, integrations or like some solutions that are working for one application: football for the other base, everything upon s of ice and SL O's. You can reuse the quality gates and that would make it really really easy for you and yeah with your work. It's so easy to get started, so we are already almost almost yeah almost so we just checking if we have a couple of more questions.

A

So if there is another question spinning up a host which in Bound ports do you need to define if I get the question correct, are there any port so they have to be defined when you're spinning up the security gate.

C

I mean you need inbound right, that's the HTTP and HTTPS because of the curls and they get clone and all that and outbound no inbound outbound. You need to first give contest, I mean internet connection and the inbound just 80 and 22, also shell, 80 and forefoot. If you want present, if you get right so, for example, this everything is is like shown in here right.

C

Everything goes to HTTP or HTTPS into your box and share it you for SSH, exactly so SSH, so you can do the ants on inside of it I mean you have the api kubernetes exposed right, so you can configure gives ETL from the outside, but you need to get to the machine so 20 to 80 and 443.

A

Awesome really cool yes, so I would really encourage everyone to check this out. Can you again do it? Do me a favor and go to github and the captain sandbox, because it's a it's a great collection of project we have there. Is it already open somewhere? Yes awesome! So if the captain sandbox, we are collecting user contributions and contributions from the community, and we already have a couple of them so they're, already more than 20 I, think we're getting close to 30 contributions from the community already and also stereo.

A

This contribution is there, so it's one place where you can find a lot of contributions that you can check out. We have contributions from partners, but also from individuals, services that you can use. You can add to captain, for example, we can see here to make app to work with Jenkins or to make kept work with JIRA or a slack bot to interact with captain all these kind of integrations. We already have in the captain sandbox. We also have to captain contribution organization where we already have graduated content.

A

That is also listed on the captain dot sh website. We sometimes already included into into our official documentation, because it's already I said already with its content, that.

C

B

A

There bye bye captain users and its has very high adoption, but it's a great place. The captain sandbox is a great place to get started and also searchers put his all his work to the captain's hat box so make sure to check it out. There feel free to decline, it and/or yeah. Actually it cloning it and then just executed the shell file. The shell script should be should be the perfect start right actually.

C

Just download the you don't need, you only need the chauffeur, because the shell file will clone than the resources.

A

So it's really easy way to get started and thanks for highlighting the second sentence to spend more time, innovative.

C

Because this is our mantra right, that's the traits! We help companies to spend their time, making better software are not troubleshooting or figuring, and all that idea behind this.

A

Thanks so much for joining today, thanks also to the community. Thanks for all your questions, if there are any more questions coming in in the next minute, I will still take them and pass them to statue. We also got great feedback to your on your presentation, so thank you so much for sharing all this with us I think it saves everyone a lot of time that you already put into your project, and so we can save time and we can spend more time innovating. Thank you for for providing this to us.

A

We also put this video on YouTube. So, if you're not seeing this life, you might be already on YouTube and there.

C

A

More content coming out in the next couple of weeks, we are having a lot of other presenters, also scheduled, so we are happy to share more and more use cases with Katherine with you and for today. Thank you so much. Please join us also, next time in actually next week or in two weeks time, we will announce it on the captain. Twitter account and also join out the captain community. We have the slack channel, we have twitter, we have our websites with the tutorials.

A

So there's a lot of content out there that you can enjoy and yeah then have a nice evening, stretcher thanks so much for joining engineering.

C

A

C

See you guys thank you. Bye, bye, see you.
