This document discusses accelerating DevOps using Corestack. It provides an overview of DevOps pillars and principles like continuous integration, delivery, monitoring etc. It then summarizes popular configuration management tools like Chef, Puppet and Ansible. Next it covers cloud orchestration tools AWS CloudFormation, Azure ARM and Openstack HEAT. It introduces Corestack which provides workspaces to bridge the gap between development and operations with configurable workflows. It offers multi-cloud operations management with capabilities like template builder, service discovery, event-driven remediation and tool chaining.

1. Accelerating Devops using Corestack
Template driven model

2. Devops
Flow

3. Devops
Pillars
Collaborative Culture : Alignment and cooperative workflows
Design for DevOps : Modular
Elastic Infrastructure : Support for Multi Cloud Environment
Continuous Monitoring (CM): Real time monitoring
Continuous Integration (CI): Merging forward quickly
Continuous Testing (CT): Quality testing
Continuous Delivery (CD): Modular delivery Packaging

7. Configuration Management
• Leading open source Configuration management tool
• Master-Client model with a separate workstation needed for controlling the master
• Ruby is used for developing Recipes
• Supports Chef Solo
• Support Command Line through Knife tools
Chef
• Leading Open Source Configuration Management tool
• Master-Client model and uses model driven approach
• Puppet is based on Ruby but uses Customized DSL for writing modules
• Strong reporting capabilities
Puppet
• Automates provisioning, deployment and config. Management
• Agent less as it uses Push model
• YAML based Templates for writing playbooks
• Ansible Tower is not open source
Ansible

8. Cloud Orchestration
•Provision and manage a collection of related AWS resources in an orderly fashion using templates
•Supports JSON and YAML
•Allows to manage a stack of resource
•Supports dependencies and parallel execution by forming a graph
•Allows to structure the input through parameters
AWS CFN
•Provision and manage a collection of related Azure resources in an orderly fashion using templates
•Supports only JSON
•Allows to manage Resource group
•Supports dependencies and parallel execution by forming a graph
•Allows to structure the input through parameters
Azure ARM
•Provision and manage a collection of related Openstack resources in an orderly fashion using templates
•Supports YAML
•Allows to manage a stack of resource
•Supports dependencies and parallel execution by forming a graph
•Allows to structure the input through parameters
Openstack HEAT
