1 AWS Workshop: Scaling Windows Kevin Epstein CTO & AWS Solutions Architect

2 Why Automate? We all have to do more with less Consistently deliver stable, predictable environments Increase number of deployments, decrease time between deployments Deliver more secure environments Innovate faster

3 Patterns Automated end to end Automate operating code and pushing code Automate testing don t accept manual testing if at all possible Deployments should follow scorched earth principles Keep it as simple as possible Instrument everything Avoid remote access Start simple, and iterate

4 Windows Challenges Legacy Security Models AD Dependencies Reboots are a pain Typically heavy software packages We can bootstrap, to a point

5 DevOps Processes

6 The Process Think of infrastructure as code Deploy Build Test Then follow a well defined pattern

7 Decide between Control and Convenience High Level Services Do It Yourself Elastic BeanStalk OpsWorks CloudFormation AWS Provided Tools 3 rd Party Convenience Control

8 Bake vs Bootstrapping AMI s OS Only AMI Partially baked AMI. Chef will finish the configuration Fully Baked AMI Preconfiguring an AMI is known as baking the AMI. Baking can speed up time to starting a new instance, but the AMI could become dated quickly. Bootstrapping with Chef gives more flexibility. Virtusa is rich in experience helping customers find the right blend of automation. Use CI & CD methodologies to automate AMI creation and updating. For shorter to time to deployment pre-bake as much as possible For a more automated (but potentially slower) deployment pre-bake and then bootstrap the rest

9 Automation with Chef Infrastructure expressed as code (Chef Cookbooks & CF Templates) Infrastructure is easily repeatable Version Control your Infrastructure No more tribal knowledge stuck in some SysAdmin s head OpsWorks leverages Chef cookbooks. Chef is platform agnostic, use it in private data centers on physical or virtual infrastructure or on any cloud platform

22 Cool Stuff

23 We believe we re moving out of the Ice Age, the Iron Age, the Industrial Age, the Information Age, to the participation age. You get on the Net and you do stuff. You IM, you blog, you take pictures, you publish, you podcast, you transact, you distance learn, you telemedicine. You are participating on the Internet, not just viewing stuff. Scott McNealy, Former CEO Sun Microsystems
