Load testing with Blitz
Load testing with BlitzLindsay Holmwood
油
The document discusses load testing and why it often fails. It recommends using a tool with the lowest barrier to entry, such as Blitz, which allows load testing on AWS with a web form or API. Blitz produces results but no reports, so the document shows how to modify Blitz's code to output JSON results for reporting purposes. It encourages integrating load testing into existing development workflows rather than treating it separately after deployment.Python Load Testing - Pygotham 2012

Female friendships provide significant health and emotional benefits according to a recent UCLA study. The study found that close friendships between women help reduce stress and risk of illness through the release of oxytocin. Women with strong social support networks of female friends live longer and have better health outcomes than women without close friends. The study concludes that friendship among women is a source of strength, wellness, and health.Continuous load testing

- Air France Flight 447 crashed in the Atlantic Ocean in 2009, killing all 228 people on board.
- The plane encountered thunderstorms and stalled after the autopilot disengaged. The pilots lost control and situational awareness of the aircraft.
- In the final 15 minutes of the flight, the pilots struggled to control the plane as it stalled and entered an aerodynamic stall from which they were unable to recover. The aircraft crashed into the ocean.AA261: DevOps lessons in collaborative maintenance
AA261: DevOps lessons in collaborative maintenanceLindsay Holmwood
油
On January 31, 2000, Alaska Airlines Flight 261 plunged into the Pacific ocean in an extreme "nose down" position, killing all 88 crew and passengers on board. The NTSB concluded AA261's horizontal stabiliser trim system's jackscrew was inadequately maintained, causing the pilots to lose all control of the plane.
There are striking parallels with the problems we face daily in IT operations & software development, and the 30 years of give and take between the aircraft manufacturer's engineers, airline maintenance staff, and federal regulators that preceded AA261's simple mechanical failure.
In this talk, Lindsay looks at the complex interplay between the parties in the AA261 crash through a DevOps lens, investigating the collaborative approach to maintenance and operation of the MD-83 aircraft, and relating the complexities back to the complex IT systems we build and maintain.Islands: Puppet at Bulletproof Networks
Islands: Puppet at Bulletproof NetworksLindsay Holmwood

Bulletproof Networks provides managed hosting services to some of the largest companies in Australia. Bulletproof implements strong isolation of customer environments, and this can present unique challenges when re-using Puppet code across our customer base. Additionally, the environments range in size from small to very large, and our tools + processes need to be able to handle both uses cases equally well.
In this talk Lindsay + Mick will cover how Bulletproof's approach to these problems has evolved over the last 4 years, and some of the tools Bulletproof has developed and built upon to provide an awesome service to our customers.Latency: The Silent Monitoring System Killer
Latency: The Silent Monitoring System KillerLindsay Holmwood
油
This document discusses latency in monitoring systems and some ways to address it. Latency can be introduced by synchronous calls during check execution. Separating data collection from thresholding and notifications can help shift latency. While this does not eliminate latency, it improves the situation. The document also recommends using Opentsdb or Ganglia instead of RRDtool and setting up failovers like meta-parenting and a kill switch to prevent outages.Rump - making Puppetmaster-less Puppet meaty
Rump - making Puppetmaster-less Puppet meatyLindsay Holmwood

Were all familiar with the Puppet manifest development cycle: make your change, commit your change, push your change, run Puppet, debug the output, then go back to the beginning to refactor or fix a bug. What if you could could shorten the cycle to make a change, run puppet, commit change? Enter Rump, a tool for doing Puppet runs locally from a Git checkout.
Rump encourages a Puppet workflow where you quickly + iteratively develop your Puppet manifests on a single machine, then push your changes up to a repository to deploy to the rest of your infrastructure.
Lindsay will be demonstrating how to setup Rump, showing off some awesome workflows for doing local iterative development, and exposing super cool features like testing your manifests against new versions of Puppet in a single command.
Behaviour driven infrastructure
Behaviour driven infrastructureLindsay Holmwood
油
Does Behaviour Driven Development have a role in the infrastructure world? Enter Behaviour Driven Infrastructure where systems administrators can apply some simple open source tools and BDD principles to make infrastructure management more powerful, more insightful and deliver more value to their customers.
The typical enterprise monitoring and configuration management set-up for a website is:
- Is the Apache package installed and the appropriate version?
- Is the Apache service running?
- Can I connect to the HTTP port and is HTML returned?
- Multiply this by a few hundred iterations of hosts and types of services and youre probably looking at your typical Nagios, Puppet, Cfengine, Hyperic set-up.
All this monitoring misses something critical though were not actually monitoring that the service does what it should. Yes, it matters whether Apache is installed, the Apache service is running, and you can connect to HTTP but does this actually prove anything about the availability of the service were managing and providing for our customers? Nope
We need to demonstrate more than just a check that says the Apache server is up. We need to demonstrate that the service delivered by that infrastructure was available to our customers AND functioning as intended.
Enter Behaviour Driven Infrastructure or BDI which applies the principles of Behavioural Driven Development to the management of infrastructure. In this presentation youll learn:
- How Behaviour Driven Development works
- What makes a behavioural test
- How to install and use Cucumber to perform BDI
- Practical examples of behavioural tests in Cucumber, and
- How to integrate BDI into your work flow and your enterprise monitoring and configuration management frameworks.Burn down the silos! Helping dev and ops gel on high availability websites
Burn down the silos! Helping dev and ops gel on high availability websitesLindsay Holmwood
油
HA websites are where the rubber meets the road - at 200km/h. Traditional separation of dev and ops just doesn't cut it.
Everything is related to everything. Code relies on performant and resilient infrastructure, but highly performant infrastructure will only get a poorly written application so far. Worse still, root cause analysis in HA sites will more often than not identify problems that don't clearly belong to either devs or ops.
The two options are collaborate or die.
This talk will introduce 3 core principles for improving collaboration between operations and development teams: consistency, repeatability, and visibility. These principles will be investigated with real world case studies and associated technologies audience members can start using now. In particular, there will be a focus on:
- fast provisioning of test environments with configuration management
- reliable and repeatable automated deployments
- application and infrastructure visibility with statistics collection, logging, and visualisation

Writing checks for your monitoring system is boring. You end up writing the same checks again and again, and it can be difficult to verify behavior instead of availability. Wouldn't it be useful to have a standard library of checks you could reuse across your infrastructure?

Webinar: LF Energy GEISA: Addressing edge interoperability at the meterDanBrown980551
油
This webinar will introduce the Grid Edge Security and Interoperability Alliance, or GEISA, an effort within LF Energy to address application interoperability at the very edge of the utility network: meters and other distribution automation devices. Over the last decade platform manufacturers have introduced the ability to run applications on electricity meters and other edge devices. Unfortunately, while many of these efforts have been built on Linux, they havent been interoperable. APIs and execution environment have varied from one manufacturer to the next making it impossible for utilities to obtain applications that they can run across a fleet of different devices. For utilities that want to minimize their supply chain risk by obtaining equipment from multiple suppliers, they are forced to run and maintain multiple separate management systems. Applications available for one device may need to be ported to run on another, or they may not be available at all.
GEISA addresses this by creating a vendor neutral specification for utility edge computing environments. This webinar will discuss why GEISA is important to utilities, the specific issues GEISA will solve and the new opportunities it creates for utilities, platform vendors, and application vendors.
