New Ops Engineer

Production Engineering

Welcome to Production Engineering & Operations, where Reliability is our product!

Production Engineering & Operations is really focused on two pillars:

  1. Product & development velocity ~ empower others to do Ops-like work.
  2. #BeachOps ~ We automate so we can kick back and relax from anywhere and let systems manage themselves. We automate and build tools so we can fix while mobile and aren't tied to a desk.

System Setup

Much of this assumes you're already a skilled Linux/OSX user.

And inspiration for much of this came from this blog post.

Bootstrap

Many of this has been codified in a Brewfile.

To quickly bootstrap, install Homebrew:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"

And run "brew bundle" in a directory with your Brewfile.

General configurations

Git

git defaults:

$ git config --global user.name "John Doe"
$ git config --global user.email "john@doe.org"

Python

  • brew install pyenv
  • pyenv global 3.8.2

To activate, add the following to .zshrc:

$ echo -e 'if command -v pyenv 1>/dev/null 2>&1; then\n  eval "$(pyenv init -)"\nfi' >> ~/. zshrc

$ echo export OBJC_DISABLE_INITIALIZE_FORK_SAFETY=YES >> ~/. zshrc

Python PIP packages

All off my pip packages are in this requirements.txt.

The following will install these packages:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

AWS

You'll need IAM accounts for cli usage.

We rely on the AWS cli and it's support for Named Profiles.

Configuration File Setup

  1. Create a $HOME/.aws directory if you don't have one.

  2. Create a file named $HOME/.aws/config and add the following to it

    [default]
region=us-west-2

  3. Create a file named $HOME/.aws/credentials and add the following to it, in preparation for generating your IAM user(s) below

    [default]
aws_access_key_id =
aws_secret_access_key =

[sunnylabs]
aws_access_key_id =
aws_secret_access_key =


[sunnylabs-dev]
aws_access_key_id =
aws_secret_access_key =

OSX Must Haves

  • XCode - prerequisite for most of brew

Atom - editor

Useful packages:

  • language-ansible
  • tab-to-spaces
  • trailing-spaces
  • language-terraform

keymap.cson bindings:

PyCharm - commercial editor

A little more complex than an editor like Atom, but a lot of good features and their Terraform plugin is very solid. You can grab a trial and if you like it, buy a license via Coupa
