Building Docker image with Packer and provisioning with Ansible

Overview

Packer

Packer is used to build image from a base image, perform provisions and store (commit) the final image.
We use provisioners and Packer templates to do the actual work to create the final image.
We use Ansible for provisioning.

Requirements

no upfront installation/agents on remote/slave machines - ssh should be enough
application components should use third-party software, e.g. HDFS, Spark's cluster, deployed separately
configuration templating
environment requires/asserts, i.e. we need a JVM in a given version before doing deployment
deployment process run from Jenkins

Solution

Most VPN Services are Terrible

Short version: I strongly do not recommend using any of these providers. You are, of course, free to use whatever you like. My TL;DR advice: Roll your own and use Algo or Streisand. For messaging & voice, use Signal. For increased anonymity, use Tor for desktop (though recognize that doing so may actually put you at greater risk), and Onion Browser for mobile.

This mini-rant came on the heels of an interesting twitter discussion: https://twitter.com/kennwhite/status/591074055018582016

Currently considering https://github.com/webdriverio/webdrivercss

Core Goals:

Can test in up-to-date versions of all major browsers
Can test on up-to-date versions of all major OSes
Can test in IE9 (because Bootstrap v4 will support IE9+)
Don't want to have to setup/maintain our own cluster of VMs running all the necessary OSes (and all the versions of Windows)
Workflow for management of reference/baseline/norm screenshots

	// approach 1: define action object in the component
	this.props.dispatch({
	type : "EDIT_ITEM_ATTRIBUTES",
	payload : {
	item : {itemID, itemType},
	newAttributes : newValue,
	}
	});

	// approach 2: use an action creator function

	1 - Create a private GitHub/Bitbucket or similar git repo. Here I assume the repo is:

	https://github.com/calkan/bash_history.git

	2 - Create .history directory and initialize it for the repo:

	mkdir $HOME/.history
	cd $HOME/.history
	git init
	touch README.md

	# Hello, and welcome to makefile basics.
	#
	# You will learn why `make` is so great, and why, despite its "weird" syntax,
	# it is actually a highly expressive, efficient, and powerful way to build
	# programs.
	#
	# Once you're done here, go to
	# http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html
	# to learn SOOOO much more.
