In Linux, this is especially convenient as you can start the instance, ssh into it, stop it and terminate it all from a local command line.īelow is a sample Vagrant file for creating a simple EC2 instance with an Elastic IP. To use it to spin up EC2 instances, simply install it, add an AWS “dummy” box and create a Vagrant file to launch an instance. I’ve yet to see a DevOps team that focused more on the “ops” than the “dev.” Yet it’s the ops side of the equation that DevOps is supposed to improve.Īnyway, back to Vagrant. I’m sorry, but I am calling bullshit on much of the DevOps “process” when it becomes not a means to an end but yet another intensive development project inside a development team. She’ll say, “Of course not.” But neither you nor I have needed any new features in Office since the version released 10 years ago.) But application infrastructure - the “built environment” in which the system runs, to borrow a phrase from architecture - must be complete. Apply the classic development team’s perspective of continuous improvement to something like configuration management, especially CM that’s code driven, and you have a freakin’ mess. (Ask a Microsoft Office developer if the product is done. These teams are accustomed to a state in which the product is never quite finished. Today, the whole configuration management, “infrastructure as code” movement is primarily driven by development teams. I can see the appeal - but coming off a recent DevOps engagement where I used Chef I have very mixed feelings about the DevOps craze. (And, blogging about it gives me the chance to use a graphic from the very best Jethro Tull album ever - “Aqualung” - whose cover sports the archetypal vagrant.)ĭevOps folks seem particularly taken with Vagrant when combined with Chef and/or Puppet. It’s a clever system for creating virtual machines easily and quickly. Vagrant is the latest in a string of tools that developers have swooned over of late.
