Welcome to my WIKI.

It explores cloud computing, focusing on migration, infrastructure, and high availability. It discusses tools like Kubernetes, OpenStack, AWS, emphasizes open-source software, and outlines key factors for cloud infrastructure implementation.

CLOUD LAB

Presenting my LAB project.

CLOUD Audit

Created ServerDiff.sh for server audits. Enables configuration drift tracking and environment consistency checks.

CLOUD Migration Example

• 1.5d: Infrastructure audit of 82 services (ServerDiff.sh)

• 1.5d: Create cloud architecture diagram

• 1.5d: Compliance check of 2 clouds (6 hypervisors, 6TB memory)

• 1d: Cloud installations

• .5d: Stability check

ACTION	RESULT	OK/KO
Activate maintenance for n/2-1 nodes or 1 node if 2 nodes.	All resources are started.
Un-maintenance all nodes. Power off n/2-1 nodes or 1 node if 2 nodes, different from the previous test.	All resources are started.
Power off simultaneous all nodes. Power on simultaneous all nodes.	All resources are started.

• 1.5d: Cloud automation study

• 1.5d: Develop 6 templates (2 clouds, 2 OS, 8 environments, 2 versions)

• 1d: Create migration diagram

• 1.5d: Write 138 lines of migration code (MigrationApp.sh)

• 1.5d: Process stabilization

• 1.5d: Cloud vs old infrastructure benchmark

• .5d: Unavailability time calibration per migration unit

• 5min: Load 82 VMs (env, os, application_code, 2 IP)

Total = 15 man-days

CLOUD Enhancement

• Formalize infrastructure for flexibility and reduced complexity.
• Utilize customer-location tracking name server like GDNS.
• Use minimal instances with a network load balancer like LVS.
• Compare prices of dynamic computing services, beware of tech lock-in.
• Employ efficient frontend TLS decoder like HAPROXY.
• Opt for fast HTTP cache like VARNISH and Apache Traffic Server for large files.
• Use REVERSE PROXY with TLS decoder like ENVOY for service compatibility.
• Consider serverless service for standard runtimes, mindful of potential incompatibilities.
• Employ load balancing or native services for dynamic computing power.
• Use open source STACKs where possible.
• Employ database caches like MEMCACHED.

High Availability (HA) with Corosync+Pacemaker

Typical Architecture

• Dual-room.
• IPMI LAN (fencing).
• NTP, DNS+DHCP+PXE+TFTP+HTTP (auto-provisioning), PROXY (updates or internal REPOSITORY).
• Choose 2+ node clusters.
• For 2-node, require COROSYNC 2-node config, 10-second staggered closing for stability.
• Stateless resources. Allocate 4GB/base for DB resources. CPU resource requirements generally low.

Typical Service Pattern

• Multipath
• LUN
• LVM (LVM resource)
• FS (FS resource)
• NFS (FS resource)
• User
• IP (IP resource)
• DNS name
• Process (Process resource)
• Listener (Listener resource)
