infrakit - A toolkit for creating and managing declarative, self-healing infrastructure.

•    Go

---

InfraKit is a toolkit for infrastructure orchestration. With an emphasis on immutable infrastructure, it breaks down infrastructure automation and management processes into small, pluggable components. These components work together to actively ensure the infrastructure state matches the user's specifications. InfraKit therefore provides infrastructure support for higher-level container orchestration systems and can make your infrastructure self-managing and self-healing. In this video, InfraKit was used to build a custom linux operating system (based on linuxkit). We then deployed a cluster of virtual machine instances on a local Mac laptop using the Mac Xhyve hypervisor (HyperKit). A cluster of 3 servers booted up in seconds. Later, after the custom OS image has been updated with a new public key, InfraKit detects the change and orchestrates a rolling update of the nodes. We then deploy the same OS image to a bare-metal ARM server running on Packet.net, where the server uses custom ipxe boot directly from the localhost. It demonstrates some of the key concepts and components in InfraKit and shows how InfraKit can be used to implement an integrated workflow from custom OS image creation to cluster deployment and Day N management. The entire demo is published as a playbook, and you can create your own playbooks too.

synthesize - Easy installer for Graphite and StatsD

•    Python

---

Installing Graphite doesn't have to be difficult. The install script in synthesize is designed to make it brain-dead easy to install Graphite and related services onto a modern Linux distribution. Synthesize is built to run on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. It will not run on other Ubuntu releases or Linux distributions. The goal of this project is not to become an automation alternative to modern configuration management utilities (e.g. Chef or Puppet), but rather, to make it as easy as possible for the beginner Graphite user to get started and familiar with the project without having to learn a suite of other automation and/or infrastructure-related projects.

ansible-tuto - Ansible tutorial

•    Shell

---

This tutorial presents Ansible step-by-step. You'll need to have a (virtual or physical) machine to act as an Ansible node. A Vagrant environment is provided for going through this tutorial. Ansible is a configuration management software that lets you control and configure nodes from another machine. What makes it different from other management software is that Ansible uses (potentially existing) SSH infrastructure, while others (Chef, Puppet, ...) need a specific PKI infrastructure to be set up.
