Modernizing integration system software stack

by Giang Pham 15 September, 2020

Introduction

The world of computing has rapidly evolved over the years. We are now equipped with plenty of tools and software which is great for making our life a lot easier and more modern than ever before. Containers and container-orchestration systems have opened a brand new way of doing things, from allowing us to achieve automation of development and deployment to performing massive scale at fingertips and so much more. This post is an introduction to modernizing integration system software stack using a number of different tools and why they have been selected.

CI/CD Infrastructure As Code Kubernetes Microsoft Azure

Deploying a multiple node pools Kubernetes cluster to Azure (AKS) using Terraform

by Giang Pham 24 June, 2020

You are probably excited about containers just like I did when I first heard about them a few years ago. In the past, we would deploy our multi-container apps using Docker compose to a docker swarm and have it managed our containerized apps and this worked but also added a lot of complexity. I started looking for new ways to manage my containers and I came across Kubernetes. I just went … wow! I had a few posts previously talking about Kubernetes but they were mostly general discussions. This post is going to be a long one, from the planning step to the final way out. I will address why I choose such an infrastructure as we are moving through.

Containerization Infrastructure As Code Kubernetes

Deploying to Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) on an existing Azure VNet using Ansible

by Giang Pham 28 March, 2020

Deploying containerized apps to a Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster using the default settings in Azure isn’t that much tough as the tools handle most of the hard work for us. I recently discovered a scenario where I needed to connect my AKS cluster back to the on-prem resources. So I went ahead and created a AKS cluster via the Azure portal. In the creation step, I chose Azure VNet and this automatically set my cluster to use Azure Networking Interface (CNI).
