Follow these steps for an example of how to check your Git objects in your AWS Cloud9 environment. (For steps to create your Cloud9 Environment, go here: https://medium.com/@lewislampkin/creating-an-integrated-developer-environment-ide-in-the-cloud-in-two-minutes-c96e33b2fa3e)

01. Listing objects
ls .git/objects

02. Listing objects hash
ls .git/objects/a4
ls .git/objects/c1
ls .git/objects/d7

03. Object Type
git cat-file -t "40-character-hash"

Note: the first two characters were from the object name, and the last 38 chracters were from the object hash

04. Object Content
git cat-file -p "40-character-hash"

05. See file contents (similar to cat, using a git command)
git show

06. Creating another file: providers.txt
echo "AWS, AZURE, GCP and OCI" > providers.txt
ls -a
cat providers.txt

07. Checking git status
git status

08. A slightly different version of git add (everything)
git add .
git status

09. Lets' run a commit
git config --list
git commit -m 'My Second DevOps Cloud Bootcamp Commit'
git status

10. Let's check the commit history
git log
git log --oneline

11. Check git objects [compare to #01 image]

1c 2f 4d a4 c1 d7 info pack
a4 ca d7 info pack

Notice that 1c, 2f, and 4d were not there before, as these are associated with this second commit (starting with 2f, versus first commit that started with c1)

12. Check the timestamps, via "ls -al"

13. Check the type and content of the commit hashes. (from git log}

Orphaned No More: Adopting AWS Lambda

Image
Background HumanGov is a Model Automated Multi-Tenant Architecture (MAMA) that is meant to be used by the 50 states for personnel tracking. Currently the architecture is fully automated on AWS. The architecture is not ready for go-live. All actions so far are for a proof-of-concept that is presented to the Chief Technical Officer (CTO) for review. During the weekly team meeting, Ko (User Experience Lead) reports that his team has performed thousands of tests against the infrastructure, with moves, adds, and changes, and is not finding any issues in the application user interface. Woo (Infrastructure Lead) reports that there are hundreds of 'orphaned' files in the S3 bucket. (These files are considered 'orphaned' because they do not have corresponding records in the DynamoDB table.) Kim (Tech Lead) reports that there is not a trigger to delete the file from the bucket when a user is deleted from the DynamoDB database. Brady (Lawyer) reports that not deleting t

Containing the Chaos! | A Three-Part Series Demonstrating the Usefulness of Containerization to HumanGov

Background HumanGov is a Model Automated Multi-Tenant Architecture (MAMA) that is meant to be used by the 50 states for personnel tracking. Currently the architecture requires Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances that are maintained by the HumanGov systems administrators. The systems administrators handle all the patching, operations, etc. Due to states wanting their data separate from each other, each state gets a separate set of EC2 instances, which means that as the application scales from one state up to 50 states, the systems administrators will have to patch 50x as many EC2 instances. The system administrators report that they have begun to schedule more and more overtime to handle the maintenance windows for updating the EC2 instances. The lead developer remarked that it was taking longer and longer for new application deployments to get rolled out as the infrastructure grew and more states came on board. By the way, the development environment does not have standa

Ansible is the Answer! | A Three-Part Series Demonstrating the Usefulness of Ansible to HumanGov

This is a three (3) part series that demonstrates how Ansible can be useful/leveraged for configuring your infrastructure. The background story here is that HumanGov is a multi-tenant cloud application that requires that each of the fifty (50) states has its own separate infrastructure. The HumanGov Infrastructure Engineers are trying to figure out how they can get it done, and they are considering using Ansible to help them deploy the application. Part 1 sets up the base infrastructure for the scenario. The HumanGov Infrastructure Engineers are accustomed to using Terraform to efficiently deploy infrastructure, but they are not very experienced with Ansible. Part 1 of 3: HumanGov: Ansible is the Answer! | Terraform | AWS Cloud9 | AWS IAM | AWS EC2 | AWS DynamoDB | AWS S3 Part 2 attempts to setup HumanGov via a MANUAL process. Part 2 goes through the steps to MANUALLY install Python, Nginx AND application files as well as MANUALLY configuring the firewall in Ubuntu. After g
