Three Reasons Why Hosted Rancher Makes Your Life Easier
Today’s generation of makers, artists and creatives have reinforced the idea that great things can happen when you roll up your sleeves and try to learn something new and exciting. Kubernetes was like this only a couple of years ago: the mere act of installing the thing was a rewarding challenge. Kelsey Hightower’s Kubernetes the Hard Way became the Maker’s handbook for this artisan craft.
How to get Key-values from Azure App Configuration within Logic Apps
Last week, I worked on a POC – how can we dynamically set SQL Server Connector configurations within Logic Apps? – that became a real project and a real architect solution. And one of the critical pieces was Azure App Configuration. Azure App Configuration stores configuration data as key-values.
Puppet Agent 7 - marking packages to be held
In previous versions of Puppet, there was not a good way to specify a package version and also mark the package as held on the Debian platform. Puppet 7 adds a new parameter that allows you to specify both at the same time.
Puppet Agent 7 - Filebucket hash algorithm update
Puppet 7 upgrades the default filebucket hash digest algorithm from MD5 to SHA256, which is generally a good thing. However, this makes upgrades just a little tricky. The mitigation for this is simply to set your digest algorithm to SHA256 on server and agent both before upgrade. Gabriel shows us how to do so in this video.
Puppet Agent 7 - SMF provider consistency
Service Management Facility (SMF) is the service management framework for Solaris as of version 10. In previous versions of Puppet, starting a service was effectively the same as enabling it. This meant that the service provider only supported starting and stopping each service. As of Puppet 7, it works the same as any other service provider.
Puppet Agent 7 - Windows RubyGems environment
Previous versions of Puppet always installed Ruby Gems into the Puppet provided gempath. That caused surprising behaviour at times, and so now the gem provider will detect if the computer has a system RubyGems installation, and if so, install gems there by default instead.
Cloud CI Project
Puppet supports a lot of platforms, including some that aren't well represented in the cloud world, like AIX or Solaris. To cover all these platforms, much of our module testing happened on an internal Jenkins server and our in-house vmpooler infrastructure. This worked pretty well, but had the unfortunate side effect that PRs from community contributors would often get rejected by an opaque process that didn't even tell them what tests failed!
