DRUPAL VM

Who here uses a local development environment?

ENTERPRISE DRUPAL

Who here uses MAMP, WAMP, or XAMPP?

ENTERPRISE DRUPAL

Who here uses Virtual Machines or knows what a Virtual Machine is?

ENTERPRISE DRUPAL

Who here uses and/or knows what Vagrant & Ansible are?

ENTERPRISE DRUPAL

If you run a web server, a database server and your scripting language(s) of choice on your main machine and you

have not yet switched to using virtualization in your workflow then this

presentation is for you!

What is Drupal VM?

A virtual machine for local Drupal development, built with Vagrant +

Ansible

ENTERPRISE DRUPAL

What is a Virtual Machine?A virtual machine (VM) is an emulation of a particular

computer system. Virtual machines operate based on the computer architecture and functions of a real or

hypothetical computer, and their implementations may involve specialized hardware, software, or a combination

of both.

• VMs can have different configurations than your local machine, and more importantly, different from VM to VM.

• VMs can mimic your production environment.

• You can have multiple VMs for the same projects; utilizing a Dev., Test, Production workflow.

• All team members can have the same setup eliminating the ‘it works on my computer’ troubleshooting.

What is Vagrant?Vagrant provides easy to configure, reproducible, and portable work

environments built on top of industry-standard technology and controlled by a single consistent workflow to help maximize the productivity and

flexibility of you and your team.

To achieve its magic, Vagrant stands on the shoulders of giants. Machines are provisioned on top of VirtualBox, VMware or any other provider. Then

awesome and new tools such as Ansible can be used to automatically install and configure software on the machine.

ENTERPRISE DRUPAL

1. Setup

Download and install Vagrant within minutes on Mac OS X, Windows, or a popular distribution of

Linux. No complicated setup process, just a simple to use OS-standard installer.

ENTERPRISE DRUPAL

2. Configure

Create a single file for your project to describe the type of machine you want, the software that needs

to be installed, and the way you want to access the machine. Store this file with your project code.

ENTERPRISE DRUPAL

3. WorkRun a single command — "vagrant up" — and sit back as Vagrant puts together your complete

development environment. Say goodbye to the "works on my machine" excuse as Vagrant creates identical development environments for everyone

on your team.

What is Ansible?

Ansible is a powerful automation engine that makes systems and applications simple to deploy.

No custom scripting or custom code. No agents. All using an automation language that's easy for

anyone to understand and learn.

ENTERPRISE DRUPAL

"I wrote Ansible because none of the existing tools fit my brain. I wanted a tool that I could not use for 6 months, come back later, and still remember how it

worked.”

-Michael DeHaan Ansible project founder

ENTERPRISE DRUPAL

Simply Clear

A simple automation language allows Ansible to be used by anyone - sysadmins, developers, IT

managers. It's easy to write, read, maintain and evolve - without gnarly scripts or custom code. It is

also used extensively in Drupal 8……YAML

Example YAML

Simply FastAnsible is so simple that it requires almost no learning curve when you're getting started and no reeducation when you come back. And because it's cloud-native

(relying on SSH keys with no software to install on remote machines), you don’t have to worry about setup.

Prototype quickly. Automate faster.

ENTERPRISE DRUPAL

Simply PowerfulAnsible is several tools in one: configuration

management, application deployment, workflow orchestration and continuous delivery. Ansible

modules are a comprehensive toolbox for automation - and they are bundled in Ansible core - batteries

included.

ENTERPRISE DRUPAL

Simply Efficient

Ansible doesn't require an agent - it uses SSH (on Linux/Unix) or PowerShell (on Windows). Not

having an agent means less software to manage. It's lightweight and unobtrusive, and gets out of

the way when it's done.

ENTERPRISE DRUPAL

Simply Secure

Not having an agent means that Ansible is inherently more secure - with nothing running or leftover on machines you manage. Ansible uses

built-in OS authentication and OpenSSH - the most peer-reviewed security component available.
