Read online ebook VMware Press Technology: DevOps for VMware Administrators by Egle Sigler TXT, MOBI, DOC
9780133846478 0133846474 "DevOps for VMware(R) Administrators" is the first book focused on using DevOps tools and practices with VMware technologies. The authors introduce high-value tools from third parties and VMware itself, and guide you through using them to improve the performance of all your virtualized systems and applications. You'll walk through automating and optimizing configuration management, provisioning, log management, continuous integration, and more. The authors also offer step-by-step coverage of deploying and managing applications at scale with Docker containers and Google Kubernetes. They conclude with an up-to-the-minute discussion of VMware's newest DevOps initiatives, including VMware vRealize Automation and VMware vRealize Code Stream. Coverage includes - Understanding the challenges that DevOps tools and practices can help VMware administrators to solve - Using Vagrant to quickly deploy Dev and Test environments that match production system specifications - Writing Chef "recipes" that streamline server configuration and maintenance - Simplifying Unix/Linux configuration management and orchestration with Ansible - Implementing Docker containers for faster and easier application management - Automating provisioning across the full lifecycle with Razor - Integrating Microsoft PowerShell Desired State Configuration (DSC) and VMware PowerCLI to automate key Windows Server and vSphere VM admin tasks - Using Puppet to automate infrastructure provisioning, configuration, orchestration, and reporting - Supercharging log management with ELK (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) - Supporting DevOps source code management with Git and continuous integration practices with Jenkins - Achieving continuous integration, delivery, and deployment with VMware's vRealize Code Stream, DevOps for VMware® Administrators is the first book focused on using DevOps tools and practices with VMware technologies.

Coverage includes * Understanding the challenges that DevOps tools and practices can help VMware administrators to solve * Using Vagrant to quickly deploy Dev and Test environments that match production system specifications * Writing Chef "recipes" that streamline server configuration and maintenance * Simplifying Unix/Linux configuration management and orchestration with Ansible * Implementing Docker containers for faster and easier application management * Automating provisioning across the full lifecycle with Razor * Integrating Microsoft PowerShell Desired State Configuration (DSC) and VMware PowerCLI to automate key Windows Server and vSphere VM admin tasks * Using Puppet to automate infrastructure provisioning, configuration, orchestration, and reporting * Supercharging log management with ELK (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) * Supporting DevOps source code management with Git and continuous integration practices with Jenkins * Achieving continuous integration, delivery, and deployment with VMware's vRealize Code Stream, DevOps represents a powerful new approach to delivering IT services, where software developers and IT operations teams work closely together to deploy projects far more often and more reliably. As pioneers like Google, Amazon, and Netflix have discovered, DevOps can improve efficiency, accelerate delivery, and reduce costs. However, most discussions of DevOps focus on theory rather than implementation, and DevOps raises unique issues in virtualized environments. DevOps for VMware Administrators addresses these issues, offering realistic insights both for implementing DevOps and for applying new tools to maximize its value. The authors also offer extensive hands-on practice with solving realistic problems and improving IT efficiency by utilizing these four tools: Puppet IT automation software for managing infrastructure across its lifecycle, including provisioning, configuration, orchestration, and reportingChef configuration management tool for writing system configuration "recipes" that streamline server configuration and maintenance and can integrate with cloud-based platforms such as Rackspace and Amazon EC2 to automate provisioningAnsible, the flexible open source toolkit for automating configuration management and orchestration in Unix and Unix-style environmentsWindows PowerShell for automating tasks and configuration management in Windows environments
