A short tutorial on how to use Vault in your Ansible workflow. Ansible-vault allows you to more safely store sensitive information in a source code repository or on disk.

Working with ansible-vault


I've been using a lot of Ansible lately and while almost everything has been great, finding a clean way to implement ansible-vault wasn't immediately apparent.

What I decided on was the following: put your secret information into a vars file, reference that vars file from your task, and encrypt the whole vars file using ansible-vault encrypt.

Let's use an example: You're writing an Ansible role and want to encrypt the spoiler for the movie Aliens.

Build an OSX 10.10 base-box for test-kitchen and VirtualBox
# Rake task to help migrating a rails 3 app to rails 4 strong_parameters.
# The task generates source code for helper methods for each model class
# to 'permit' the attributes.
# the generated methods are intended as starting point to copy&paste in the controller
# and than edit the permitted attributs.
# Some common names of non-editable attributes are already filtered,
# like 'id', 'password' or 'created_at'.
# The output is written to stdout so you can pipe it into a file

System Design Cheatsheet

System Design Cheatsheet

Picking the right architecture = Picking the right battles + Managing trade-offs

Basic Steps

  1. Clarify and agree on the scope of the system
  • User cases (description of sequences of events that, taken together, lead to a system doing something useful)
    • Who is going to use it?
    • How are they going to use it?
#!/bin/bash
#
# Faster toolchain build: skips as much as possible.
#
# To use this toolchain from the command line:"
# export TOOLCHAINS=$(whoami)
#
# we build to the same prefix every time (instead of building
# to a versioned prefix) because every time the prefix changes
# *everything* rebuilds.
