Building a continuous deployment pipeline

This repository contains the files and excercises needed to participate in the Fastly Altitude SF 2017 workshop "Building a continuous deployment pipeline".

Welcome! The goal of the workshop is to build a continuous deployment pipeline around an example Fastly config. Combining Fastly’s 5-second deploys, API control, and some open-source tooling (Travis, Terraform) attendees will contribute live changes and see their results in the demo.

Prerequisites

• Have a GitHub account
• Have a machine with a terminal prompt, Make and Ruby installed (*not required if using provided workstation)

Install:

Altitude attendees will be provided with a pre-provisioned server with all software and files needed already installed for you convienince. The conncetion details will be handed out to you.

• Create a new GitHub repository, called altitude-ci-cd-workshop.
• ssh -A altitude@<IP of host assigned to you>
• cd workshop
• git remote add origin [email protected]:<USERNAME>/altitude-ci-cd-workshop.git

Alternatively if you aretrying this at home:

• Fork the GitHub repo: https://github.com/fastly/altitude-ci-cd-workshop
• Clone the repo to a local directory on your machine:
  • Via SSH: git clone [email protected]:<USERNAME>/altitude-ci-cd-workshop.git
  • Via HTTP: git clone https://github.com/<USERNAME>/altitude-ci-cd-workshop.git
• Change directory into the repo: cd altitude-ci-cd-workshop
• Install the dependencies make install
  • This will install the Terraform binary to your $HOME directory and link your $PATH. Permission may be required.
  • If you already have Terraform and the Travis gem installed on your machine or would prefer to install manually, skip this step.
• You're good to go!

Exercises:

To start, follow the tasks in the exercises directory:

1. Define a Fastly service with Terraform
2. Configure continuous deployment with Travis
3. Setup multiple environments: staging & production
