AWS: A typical [POC] Setup of legacy data movement into Redshift

In this discussion video you can find the the feasibility analysis to move the legacy data movement into AWD Redshift, with a feasible architecture.

Watch the below video:

In the following session we have discussed the the typical scenarios for Redshift usage:

This video has the outline on AWS Data Pipeline service.

Please follow my videos : https://business.facebook.com/vskumarcloud/

NOTE:

Let us also be aware: Due to lacks of certified professionals are available globally in the market on AWS, to differentiate them on their needs/selection, most of the clients are asking on the real experience gained or aware of IAC. They give a Console and ask you to setup a specific Infra setup in AWS.

In my coaching I focus on the candidates to gain the real Cloud Architecture implementation experience rather than pushing the course with screen operations only to complete. Through my posted videos you can watch this USP.

Contact for your real Cloud experiences learning and gaining with me and crack the interviews to get offers in AWS Roles globally or even you can transition to the role in the same company after facing the client interview/selection process. Which is very easy with this knowledge.

Please connect me on FB and have a discussion on your background and the needs/goals. I am looking for the serious learners only by having dedicated time. If you are a busy resource on the projects please note; you can wait to become free to learn. One need to spend time consistently on the practice. Otherwise its going to be in no-use.

Guys A NOTE for you:

Folks,
How to Join in my Facebook groups to learn Cloud cum DevOps Concepts ?
For any Trainings many people conduct demos by catching the IT Professionals through their sales people. That demo denotes the trainer has the technical capabilities to handle the course for the attendees. In my coaching also I have followed the similar concept. But I don’t give demos by spending time, as I work as alone. In my case I have created the groups in Facebook: a) DevOps Practices Group, b) Cloud Practices Group c) Free Learning Agile/DevOps/AWS/AZ for freshers and IT Professionals. With few of the web pages by IT topic.

One can learn and assess them by joining. For more details you can watch this video. To join in them, you need to connect with me on FB and Linkedin and send a message. Then only you will be approved. This is a verification process to avoid fake ids.

AWS: POC-How to Build WordPress web site in AWS Cloud/Network ?


Most of the Blogs on websites are operated by WordPress[WP] software which is developed in PHP. Even my site [vskumar.blog] is from this software. To setup the WP, there are tier based architecture/setup required. For PHP related software we can have a 2-tier architecture setup.

For detailed analysis and the required AWS components for setting up W, below blog you can visit/follow blog:
https://vskumar.blog/2018/12/31/2-aws-wordpresswp-infrastructure-creation-using-a-free-tier-account/

In this demo video the WP site building project was discussed with different design steps towards AWS components and it was demonstrated well by one of our [experienced IT Professional] students well.


These are weekly assignments they get and they need to prove by themselves with a demo in a team; like live environment how it happens in a typical project team. By attending this activity delivery on weekly basis, one will not get any fear/scareness on doing the live infra tasks. They will be habituated with the project activities when they join in real job. And they will be productive resources from day one onwards. These are the major benefits from my course.

AWS: POC-How to do VPC Peering with 2 VPCs ?

When we have two networks in traditional methods, we used to do internal networking within the premises. And used those servers for Software APIs. Also the Sysadmin/DBAs/Network Admin role people used to manage them well. But in Cloud how to implement this kind of setup ?

Now, In Cloud how this internetworking can be done through VPC peering ?

Watch this introduction chapter before you go to the below POCs:

In this POC project, it is well proven how we can create such kind of environment by using 2 VPCs and their peering with deeper analysis and the design steps of different services. And how the private subnet related Linux and Windows EC2s can be accessed by using NAT and Jump Servers?. And how to operate another VPC EC2 from one VPC EC2 ? Just watch this design steps analysis video from the below link:

In the below video a POC analysis is discussed with an Experienced Cloud/DevOps professional.

AWS: Do you think, User IDs of IAM and EC2 are the same ?

When we talk about user ids in AWS or any Cloud some [Non-AWS Practiced] people feel user ids of IAM and EC2s are the same. But not!

  1. IAM user ids are made to access particular services of AWS Platform through some of the groups Privileges. These Groups are embeded with AWS policies to have access on the services.
  2. Where as EC2 is a Virtual Machine [can be either Linux OS or Windows server]. It needs the users to access. Like your physical machines have the used ids, the VM also has them.

AWS: What is CloudFormation ?

Watch this video for CF introduction:

This video has the demo on Cloudformation with IAC to create a simple EC2.

https://business.facebook.com/vskumarcloud/videos/2328450437268264/

Please note; every Cloud/DevOps/Test Engineer need to drive the infra setup tasks through IAC scripts only, when they are advanced in infra setup understanding. For every infra setup tasks they should be able to step down to develop these IAC scripts by using different tools. In AWS, we can use CF, Terraform and Ansible very easily for the medium level config scripts building.

https://vskumar.blog/2019/07/26/aws-usage-of-cloudformation-templates-1-wp/

For a jumpstart of learning process, I have started building some videos on understanding the Infra scripts process through CF Templates with POCs/demos. Following link has these videos to watch and do self practice with CF.

Please follow my videos : https://business.facebook.com/vskumarcloud/

Once you are perfect you can choose any of the Infra CM Tools to write scripts and run for automated infra setup.

The samples are made with the below infra setup scenarios:

AWS: Usage of CloudFormation Templates for IAC

Through this blog I would like to demonstrate on CloudFormation [CF] templates usage with the IAC.

I have observed in Cloud and DevOps teams, many of them are non-programming background. But when the Infra setup requirement comes into their task following questions will arise:

  1. How can they write the JSON/YAML/Go programming/script coding ?
  2. How can they understand the Cloud services and the domain setup knowledge ?
  3. What are the sequence of steps they need to follow, if they are being asked to setup the environments?
  4. How the VPCs need to be built ?
  5. How the Load Balancers need to be setup ?
  6. How the autoscaling and load balancing can be done in different locations to balance the traffic and maintain the infra setup consistency with low latency ?
  7. What are steps need to be followed to learn on the above process/procedures ?

AWS has given some of the infra setup the CloudFormation templates for us to try and test them. And later on to understand the Script/code of JSON/YAML to implement with any CM Tools.

jenkins

I am publishing  series of blogs on DevOps tools  practice. The interested people can keep watching this site or you can subscribe/follow.

In this blog we will see what are the pre-requisites for Jenkins 2.9 to install and how to install Jenkins.

 =====================================>

Visit my current running facebook groups for IT Professionals with my valuable discussions/videos/blogs posted:

 DevOps Practices Group:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/1911594275816833/about/

To setup Jenkins, you need to have Java 9 in your local machine.

Hence in the Step1 to setup Java, you need to follow the below steps:

STEP1: How to download and install JDK SE Development kit 9.0.1 ?:

go to URL:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk9-downloads-3848520.html

You will see the below page [as on today’s display]

Java Kit SE 9 download

From this web page, Click on Windows file jdk-9.0.1_windows-x64_bin

It will download.

Double click on the file.

You will see the series of screens, while it is doing installation. I have copied some of them here.Java SE 9 install scrn-2.png

Java SE 9 install scrn-1

Java SE 9 install scrn-3.png

 

Java SE 9 install scrn-4.png

You can change the directory if you want, in the above screen.

 

Java SE 9 install scrn-4-Oracle 3 billion.png

 

Finally you should get the below screen as installed it successfully.

Java SE 9 install scrn-5-complete

Now, you need to set the Java environment and path variable in Windows setting.

Java SE 9 install scrn-7-windows env setup2Java SE 9 install scrn-8-windows env setup3

 

My Java directory path is:

Java SE 9 install scrn-9-windows env setup4

 

Java SE 9 install scrn-10-windows env setup5.png

You  need to edit the below path variables also for the latest path:

Java SE 9 install scrn-11-windows env setup6Java SE 9 install scrn-12-windows env setup7.png

After you have done the settings, you can check the java version as below in a command prompt:

Java SE 9 install scrn-13-CMD-1

You should get the same version.

Now, You need a simple java program to run and check your compiler and runtime environment.

Please goto google search and check for “Java Hello wordl program”.

Follow the below URL:
https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Java_Tutorial/Hello_World!

Copy the program into a text file named as hellowworld.java

Then compile and run the program as below:

Java SE 9 install scrn-14-CMD-Javacompile&run-1.png

If you are getting the above, then your installed java software is working fine.

You need to remember the below:
To compile this program you need to use the below command in command prompt of that program directory:

D:\JavaSamples\Javatest>javac HellowWorld.java

To run the java program you need to use the below command:

D:\JavaSamples\Javatest>java HellowWorld
Hello World

Now, you can plan for setting up Jenkins.

STEP2: How to setup Jenkins on Windows ?:

Follow the below link to download Jenkins for Windows-x64
https://jenkins.io/download/thank-you-downloading-windows-installer/

It downloads the installer as below:
You can see the downloaded installer file for Jenkins.

Jenkins-installer-file1.png

 

How to install Jenkins?:
Now you can copy this file into a new directory as Jenkins.

I have copied into the below directory.

Jenkins-installer-file-copy1.png

You need to unzip this file.

Jenkins-installer-file-unzip1.png

You can see the new directory is created with its unzipped files:

 

Jenkins-installer-file-unziped-new Dir

You can double click on it and can see the below screen:

 

Jenkins-installer-file-double-click.png

I have changed the path as below:

Jenkins-installer-file-path.png

Click on install and say “Yes” in windows confirmation screen.

 

Jenkins-installer-file-path-install.png

You can see the below screen:

Jenkins-installer-install-complete1.png

Once you click on finish, it will take you to a browser:

Jenkins-initial browser1.png

Jenkins will have a default user id as “admin” and the password.
The password is available from the given path.

Jenkins-admin-initial-pwd-file

You can open this file in notepad as below:

Jenkins-admin-initial-pwd-file-open-notepad

Now, copy this password as below into windows clipboard.

Now you goto the Jenkins browser and paste this password.

Close your notepad.

Now, on browser press continue.

You can see the Jenkins initial  screen as below for plugins selection:

 

Jenkins-initial screen for plugins

Jenkins will have 100s of plugins. But there are default plugins those can be used initially to save you disk space and time. Hence now, you click on “Install suggested plugins”.

It will show the below screen as it is working for this activity:

Jenkins-default-plugins-install-screen1.png

You can see in the right side window the tasks what Jenkins is doing:Jenkins-initial screen for plugins-tasks1.png

You can also watch as it is doing one by one the plugins installation and the tasks on right side.
It might take more than 30 mts depends on your internet speed and the RAM.

I am copying some of the screens as it is moving on …

 

Jenkins-initial screen for plugins-tasks2.png

Once the plugins are installed, you can see the 1st screen to setup your 1st admin user id and password as below:

Jenkins-create-first-UID & PWD

You can enter the details and click on “Save and Finish” button.

Now, it shows the below screen with Jenkins readyness to use:

Jenkins-is-Ready.png

When you click on “Start using Jenkins” button,
You can see the below screen as in the beginning of the Jenkins usage:

Jenkins-welcome-1st time.png

Please observe the right corner and verify your created user id.

Now, let us do some login and logout operations to make sure it is working.

When you logout you can see the below screen:

Jenkins-initial-logout-test

Now let us understand the url of Jenkins server which we are using:

When we install Jenkins in any machine either Windows or Linux.
By default its url should be : http://localhost:8080/
Your local host is your current machine Ip address.
You can see the screen now with the above url:

Jenkins-URL-test

Now, you can try one more option, check your ip address from command prompt as below:

Check-IPs-CMD.png

You can pickup the 1st IP address which displays from the command prompt screen.

And key-inn the below url in your browser:
http://192.168.137.1:8080/login?from=%2F

Your ip need to be used in place of 192.168.137.1

Now, let us see What is 8080?:
Every server software creates a port address to access its web pages from the installed machine. In our case Jenkins has been configured on 8080 port as default. The 8080 is a default port for Jenkins. Similarly other server softwares also will have their specific ports.

Now, I have used a different browser using the above url to access Jenkins web page as below:

Jenkins-using-IP & 8080-Port.png

Using the login screen I am logging into my admin user id: vskumar2017 , which was created earlier.

Login-UID-vskumar2017.png

You can also check in your windows services on Jenkins running status.
Please note on this setup, you have made a standalone Jenkins by using your PC or Laptop.

Now, you can restart your windows machine. You need to start Jenkins as fresh service.

To start Jenkins from command line
  1. Open command prompt.
  2. Go to the directory where your war file is placed and run the following command: java -jar jenkins.war
  3. OR One more  option is; go to your Jenkins directory in CMD window and execute: jenkins.exe start

 

Restart-Jenkins-CMD

Open browser and Use you can check the Jenkins access. It should be showing the login page.

How to remove Jenkins from your system?:

If you want to remove Jenkins from your system, you can find the  Jenkins Windows installer file from the Jenkins directory and double click on it. You can see the below window to choose your action:

Remove-repair-Jenkins.png

So far we have seen the installation of Java 9 and Jenkins.

Some times, you might need to configure other servers [Ex:Tomcat, etc,]. They might also use 8080 port. Hence there will be conflict. We need to change the port# in that case.

Now, How to change your 8080 port to other port#?:

Please find Jenkins.xml in Jenkins dir:

Ex:

In my system I have the URL:D:\Jenkins\Jenkins 2.9

You need to replace 8080 with the  required port# in the below line:

<arguments>-Xrs -Xmx256m -Dhudson.lifecycle=hudson.lifecycle.WindowsServiceLifecycle -jar “%BASE%\jenkins.war” –httpPort=8080 –webroot=”%BASE%\war”</arguments>

In the next blog we can see some simple exercise with Jenkins by creating and running the project into different builds.
