Locust is open source and distributed load testing tool , intend to load test websites. A fundamental feature of locust is that you can describe all your test case in python code. This lightweight, distributed and scalable framework helps us to find out how many concurrent users a system can handle by writing test case scenarios in...
We have been using ELK as a centralized logs management system. ELK stands for Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana. Each of the three services is running inside its own docker container in one docker-network (say elk-net) on a single server. A separate block storage device is mapped from the host into Elasticsearch container (named es)...
Logstash is a service that accepts logs from a variety of systems, processes it and allows us to index it in Elasticsearch etc which can be visualised using Kibana. Our DevOps engineers have been using Logstash S3 plugin which simply puts all data in a S3 bucket location. Since we have configured files to be created in every hour on...
In the recent past, software has seen a revolution of sorts. The emergence of Docker and the containerization paradigm has questioned the basis of some of the software delivery principles. The result? People are opting for things unheard of some two years back. What’s more, they are now using them successfully to deliver software faster...
DevOps and Cloud is a combination one cannot resist. It not only makes the development process more efficient but leads to business success as well. The advantages are many; on-ground indications reveal that DevOps is a more productive way to develop software, plus it means better quality resulting code and faster delivery time. With...
Recently, I got a chance to dockerize a traditional MongoDB replica set. Currently, I am doing it for QA and UAT environment where MongoDB replica set is setup on a single host. So, in this blog, we will do it on a single host using Docker Networking and Docker Compose. Scenario: Set up a MongoDB replica using version 3.0.5 set...
Sysdig has been one of the most advanced cloud-based tools for monitoring your infrastructure. So, talking about Docker monitoring, Sysdig gives us a lot of insights about our containers, few of which we will be talking about in this blog. Docker is the most widely used and trending tool when it comes to DevOps. USE-CASE In this...
As we know that Docker has released a newer version of their Docker Engine i.e. version 1.9. One major change is in the way we handle Docker networking and that is what we will be talking about in this blog. You can install the latest version of Docker from this link. It is supported in the newer version of Linux, for Ubuntu, Docker 1.9...
This blog post is about using docker-compose, a tool provided by docker to define and run multi container application using a single command. It uses a docker-compose.yml file as default input file. I got a use case which was to run a Nodejs application behind a Nginx acting as a reverse proxy in two different Docker containers. This...
Recently, we came across a scenario where we need to create AMIs of multiple production servers running in four different AWS accounts. One solution was to create an automation script to be run on an AWS EC2 instance running in each aws account which would create AMI of all production servers running in each account. This would have...
AWS has recently launched a new service which is now available generally. AWS CodeCommit is the service we would be talking briefly about in this blog. AWS CodeCommit hosts private Git repositories. You can Store code & any other type of file with AWS CodeCommit. It follows Git standards & can be used with other tools for...
Docker machine is a new advancement of Docker team to manage docker servers. Using this tool, different docker server or hosts can be managed from a single workstation, be them in local LAN or on public or private cloud. Using docker-machine, we can provision docker instance at virtualbox, AWS, azure cloud, digital ocean, rackspace,...
