Agenda The challenges Alfresco Installation Alfresco SPK Wrapping up

The Challenges

The Challenges The hosting choice Myriads of Cloud Providers Myriads of Orchestration Tools Provisioning challenges Distributed architectures Articulated provisioning process Alfresco Installer limitations

Solutions Alfresco Installation Customizable/Configurable Modular Versionable Portable

Solutions Alfresco SPK Define/reuse a stack Test a stack locally Create Official Alfresco Images (Marketplace AMIs, Vagrant Boxes, …) Create Custom Images Integrate CI tools with image building process (release pipeline integration) Integrate orchestration tools to bootstrap immutable images (go live)

Alfresco Installation

4x <full provisioning> Instance Lifecycle Stack Genesis Stack Engine 4 IPs ID ID Solr 2 Share1 Share 2 1 Root Image (distro) Alfresco Image (tiered) <provision> <bootstrap> 4x <full provisioning>

Chef Alfresco (beyond Chef Installer) Component-based: repo, share, solr, aos and more Supports 3 run modes (full-provisioning, provisioning-only, bootstrap-only) Any Alfresco configuration can be customised Can run continuously (install on top of an installation) Downloads artifacts (VS Alfresco Installer monolithic installation) Open Source, 68 releases, 11 contributors - https://github.com/Alfresco/chef-alfresco Haproxy, nginx

Alfresco SPK and the Vagrant Packer Plugin

Alfresco SPK Operations Choose a stack Browse stack examples provided by the SPK Run/Tweak Spin up a stack locally using Virtualbox or VmWare Build Images Define Alfresco immutable images Integrate Run the CI and orchestration tool of your choice

SPK Library - components Instance template(s) (JSON), which contain Chef Alfresco Attributes Image building configuration (Packer) Local run (Vagrant) Vagrantfile to define the stack and reference instance template(s) Packer Plugin common configuration Local Vagrant run common configuration We already provide configuration for Alfresco AllInOne and Enterprise

Instance template - components { "name": ”...", "alfresco" : { "components" : <alfresco_components> } Allinone components ["haproxy","nginx","tomcat","transform","repo","share","solr","mysql"] Share components ["haproxy","nginx","tomcat","transform","repo","share"] Solr components ["haproxy","tomcat”,"repo","transform","solr"]

Run your stack Vagrant.configure("2") do |config| # Source Image configuration config.vm.box = "<vagrant_box_name>" config.vm.box_url = "<vagrant_box_url>” # Vagrant up configuration instance_template = JSON.parse("<instance_template_json_path>") config.vm.provision "chef_solo" do |chef| chef.json = instance_template chef.recipe_url = "<chef_alfresco_tar_url>" instance_template['run_list'].each do |recipe| chef.add_recipe recipe end End

Build your stack Vagrant.configure("2") do |config| # SPK minimal configuration config.packer_build.cookbooks_url = “<cookbooks_url/path>” config.packer_build.instance_templates = [“<instance_template_url/path>”] End

Try it yourself! # Clone SPK repo git clone https://github.com/Alfresco/alfresco-spk # Install Vagrant Packer Plugin vagrant plugin install vagrant-packer-plugin cd alfresco-spk/stacks/community-allinone # Or build your own Vagrantfile and instance template(s) # Run the stack locally vagrant up # Build immutable images (default to Vagrantbox) vagrant packer-build

Wrapping up

Roadmap Support additional Linux/Unix OSes Publish Alfresco Vagrant boxes for existing instance templates allinone, share, solr, … Integrate with Alfresco SDK Docker Integration (build only) Improved docs for advanced Chef users Publish chef-alfresco into Chef Supermarket Product capabilities, timeframes and features are subject to change and should not be viewed as Alfresco commitments.
