What it is

Problem: Terraform doesn't play nicely with pre-existing infrastructure.

Solution: Officially there isn't one - but here's a work-around that does the trick.

Summary

Declare a new, temporary resource in your Terraform plan that is nearly identical to the extant resource.
Apply the plan, thus instantiating the temporary "twinned" resource and building a state file.

Accessing EMC Atmos using S3 tooling

There are loads of tools out there built around the AWS APIs. In response to that, some software comes with an AWS compatibility layer. One of them is EMC Atmos.

There's a surprising lack of documentation on how to actually use this compatibility. The best I could find is the "EMC® Atmos™ Version 2.1 Programmer’s Guide P/N 300-013-493 REV 01". However, all it does it tell you that the S3 compatibility is hosted on a different port, and which operations are supported. It doesn't give any hints on how to get any tools working.

The main gotcha seems to be that the S3 API has both a path and DNS based way of accessing buckets. It's important to use the path based mechanism.

Description

Dashing widget to display a Jenkins build status and build progress

The widget is based on the meter-widget which is default in the Dashing installation

The widget can also see the progress of a "pre-build", i.e if you have a job triggering the actual build you want to define, you can configure this job in the jenkins_build.rb as a prebuild.

For more information, please see Coding Like a tosser

Description

This is a dashing widget intended to show metrics from a sonar repository.

Usage

This widget currently uses the list widget as a view. You just have to add this snippet to your dashboard:

	module Gem
	class << self

	##
	# Returns full path of previous but one directory of dir in path
	# E.g. for '/usr/share/ruby', 'ruby', it returns '/usr'

	def previous_but_one_dir_to(path, dir)
	split_path = path.split(File::SEPARATOR)
	File.join(split_path.take_while { \|one_dir\| one_dir !~ /^#{dir}$/ }[0..-2])

	#!/bin/bash

	CONTENT_TYPE="application/json"
	DESCRIPTION="bad things™ are happening"
	URL="https://events.pagerduty.com/generic/2010-04-15/create_event.json"

	if [ $# -ne 3 ]; then
	echo "Usage: pd-event.sh [TYPE] [SERVICE KEY] [INCIDENT KEY]"
	echo " - TYPE: [t]rigger \| [a]cknowledge \| [r]esolve"
	echo " - SERVICE KEY: unique identifier for service"

	# Update, upgrade and install development tools:
	apt-get update
	apt-get -y upgrade
	apt-get -y install build-essential
	apt-get -y install git-core

	# Install rbenv
	git clone git://github.com/sstephenson/rbenv.git /usr/local/rbenv

	# Add rbenv to the path:

	#!/bin/bash

	BRIDGE="br-int"
	ovs-vsctl --may-exist add-br $BRIDGE
	ovs-vsctl --if-exists del-port $BRIDGE $5
	ovs-vsctl --may-exist add-port $BRIDGE $5
