商品描述

This book is your hands-on guide to infrastructure provisioning and configuration management in the cloud using Chef’s open source, cross-platform toolset. With over 10,000 customers joining the Microsoft Azure cloud platform each week and steadily increasing usage, the need for automation approaches has never been greater. This book provides both practical examples and a much needed strategic overview of how these two technologies can be combined.

Using Chef with Microsoft Azure takes you through the process of writing ‘recipes’ in Chef to describe your infrastructure as code, and simplify your configuration management processes. You’ll also meet the Chef tools that can be used to provision complete environments within Microsoft Azure.

There are now a wide variety of tools and approaches that can be taken to provision resources such as virtual machines within Microsoft Azure. This book demonstrates them, discusses the benefits and weaknesses of each approach, and shows how a continuous provisioning pipeline can be established as part of a reliable, repeatable, and robust provisioning process.

Each chapter has practical exercises that highlight the capabilities of both Chef and Microsoft Azure from an automation perspective and can be executed on Windows, Mac, or Linux platforms.

In this book, you’ll learn:

  • The purpose and principles behind automated provisioning
  •  Microsoft Azure concepts and management options
  • How to deploy Chef Azure Virtual Machine Extensions using PowerShell, Azure command-line tools, and Chef Provisioning
  • Chef Provisioning techniques, including provisioning PaaS resources such as KeyVault
  • How to integrate quality tooling into the Chef development lifecycle, including Test Kitchen and InSpec with Azure compute resources
    How to set up a pipeline for continuous provisioning with Chef and Azure
    Who This Book Is For

This book is for infrastructure platform and operations engineers and DevOps specialists/practitioners working with infrastructure and platform provisioning on Microsoft's public cloud, Azure.
An understanding of programming in any language would be beneficial, but not necessary as the examples are designed to be easily readable by anyone with general IT experience.

While it is expected most users picking up this book will be on the Windows platform, a good proportion of compute workload on the Azure platform is Linux based. As a result the book includes examples that are relevant to both Windows and Linux platforms.

 

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書是一本實用指南,教你如何在雲端中使用Chef的開源、跨平台工具進行基礎設施供應和配置管理。隨著每週有超過10,000個客戶加入Microsoft Azure雲平台並持續增加使用量,自動化方法的需求變得更加迫切。這本書提供了實際的例子和對這兩種技術如何結合的戰略概述。

《使用Chef與Microsoft Azure》將帶領你進入使用Chef在Microsoft Azure中編寫“食譜”來描述基礎設施的過程,並簡化配置管理流程。你還將了解可以用於在Microsoft Azure中提供完整環境的Chef工具。

現在有多種工具和方法可以用於在Microsoft Azure中提供虛擬機等資源。本書演示了這些方法,討論了每種方法的優點和缺點,並展示了如何建立可靠、可重複和強大的供應流程的連續供應管道。

每一章都有實際的練習,突出了Chef和Microsoft Azure從自動化角度的能力,並可在Windows、Mac或Linux平台上執行。

在本書中,你將學到:

- 自動化供應的目的和原則
- Microsoft Azure的概念和管理選項
- 如何使用PowerShell、Azure命令行工具和Chef Provisioning部署Chef Azure虛擬機擴展
- Chef Provisioning技術,包括提供PaaS資源(如KeyVault)
- 如何將品質工具整合到Chef開發生命周期中,包括使用Azure計算資源的Test Kitchen和InSpec
- 如何使用Chef和Azure建立連續供應的流程

本書適合基礎設施平台和運營工程師以及在Microsoft的公共雲平台Azure上進行基礎設施和平台供應的DevOps專家/從業人員閱讀。對於任何語言的編程有一定的理解將有所幫助,但不是必需的,因為例子設計得易於閱讀,適合具有一般IT經驗的任何人。

雖然預計大多數讀者使用本書的是Windows平台,但Azure平台上的計算工作負載有相當一部分是基於Linux的。因此,本書包含了適用於Windows和Linux平台的例子。
