Visit our website at: http://elasticbox.com Sign up for our free edition: http://elasticbox.com During his breakout session at Gluecon, Ramiro Berrelleza spoke about the Continuous Deployment scenario ElasticBox uses for internal development purposes and how ElasticBox is used to encapsulate our Jenkins / Puppet based Continuous Deployment scenario so that it can be deployed as an instance at the click of a button. Additionally, he demonstrated how ElasticBox enables CI/CD, fast, repeatable deployments and the reusability of application infrastructure components to accelerate delivery of applications or features to market.

● Manage all production deployments, continuous
delivery, testing, and source control :)

3. Wait, what does ElasticBox do?
Define, Deploy and Manage Applications on Any Cloud
Choose Boxes from a service
catalog.
Customize Boxes to fit
application requirements.
Stack Boxes to create any
application architecture.

4. Align Dev and Ops through Collaboration
What about the enterprise?

5. What’s the problem we’re solving?
● test env != production
● slow release of features
● lack of oversight
● no sharing of tools or
resources
● I work too hard :(

6. How did we solve the problem? CI/CD!!!
● Automate tests and builds
● Deploy CD as an instance
that can be replicated and
spun up instantly
● Enable Developers to test
features on replica of
production
● Move faster without
turbulence

7. How Does it Work?
● Production = Master
● Developer forks
● Developer tests code on local machine
● Developer submits pull request
● Pull request triggers tests and build
o Tests Fail => Rinse & Repeat
o Tests Pass
● Build deployed to Staging Instance (production replica)
● QA
● Pull Request Merged into Master
● New code promoted to production

8. Sounds Easy? Not quite...
● Hard to get up and running
Solution = Use ElasticBox :)
● Fragile / Breaks
Solution = Jenkins instance as a Box
● Can still promote bad code
Solution = Commitment to thorough
testing and pushing production ready
code at all times

9. Getting it right = huge win for Dev/Ops/Biz
● Developers Can Move
faster & reuse tools
● Code makes it to production
faster
● Less time spent on
repetitive tasks (ops)
● Managers are happy
