The DevOps 2.2 Toolkit

By: Viktor Farcic

Overview of this book

Building on The DevOps 2.0 Toolkit and The DevOps 2.1 Toolkit: Docker Swarm, Viktor Farcic brings his latest exploration of the Docker technology as he records his journey to explore two new programs, self-adaptive and self-healing systems within Docker. The DevOps 2.2 Toolkit: Self-Sufficient Docker Clusters is the latest book in Viktor Farcic’s series that helps you build a full DevOps Toolkit. This book in the series looks at Docker, the tool designed to make it easier in the creation and running of applications using containers. In this latest entry, Viktor combines theory with a hands-on approach to guide you through the process of creating self-adaptive and self-healing systems. Within this book, Viktor will cover a wide-range of emerging topics, including what exactly self-adaptive and self-healing systems are, how to choose a solution for metrics storage and query, the creation of cluster-wide alerts and what a successful self-sufficient system blueprint looks like. Work with Viktor and dive into the creation of self-adaptive and self-healing systems within Docker.

Creating scaling job

Let's try to translate the commands we executed manually into a Jenkins job. If we manage to do that, we can go further and let Alertmanager trigger that job whenever certain thresholds are reached in Prometheus.

We'll start by downloading Jenkins stack from the vfarcic/docker-flow-monitor (https://github.com/vfarcic/docker-flow-monitor) repository.

curl -o jenkins.yml \
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vfarcic/docker-\
flow-monitor/master/stacks/jenkins-aws-secret.yml

cat jenkins.yml

The stack definition we just downloaded is almost identical to the one we used before so we'll comment only the differences.
