Part 4 of 5: AWS Code Commit: Software Developer #2

This post is part of a 5-post series on setting up version control in the cloud using AWS Code Commit (cloud repository), Git (version control) and AWS Cloud 9 (Cloud IDE).

Part 1 of 5: AWS Code Commit: Creating Git repositories

Part 2 of 5: AWS Code Commit: Infrastructure/Devops Engineer Setup

Part 3 of 5: AWS Code Commit: Software Developer #1

Part 4 of 5: AWS Code Commit: Software Developer #2

Part 5 of 5: AWS Code Commit: Cleanup, Evidence, Reference

After Radia (aka Developer #1) went on vacation, the pointy-haired team lead spotted the mistake Mr. Snuggles sneaked into production and demanded that the problem be fixed as soon as possible (ASAP)!

Scott (aka Developer #2) recently led the software design effort for next generation voting software that relies on blockchain technology to log all votes and related data so that recounts are instantaneous and to prevent single points of failure in the voting infrastructure. While that has absolutely nothing to do with HumanGov, Scott is almost as good as Radia, so he should be able to get the job done. Scott volunteered his Git and HTML expertise to resolve the issue caused by Mr. Snuggles. Scott asked the DevOps Engineer to give him a Cloud9 environment, point him to where the repositories are located, and get out of the way. Scott cracked open a Mountain Dew and got to work. If Scott succeeds, the lead will get off our backs and resume reading Dilbert comic strips.

4.1: Create AWS Cloud9 Environment for Developer #2

(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)

4.2: Connect to the AWS Cloud9 environment for Developer #2

4.3: Configure Git username and email

git config --global user.name "Software Developer 2" git config --global user.email dev2@humangov.com

4.4: Configure AWS CLI Credential Helper for Developer #2

git config --global credential.helper '!aws codecommit credential-helper $@' git config --global credential.UseHttpPath true

4.5: Clone the application repository

git clone https://git-codecommit.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/v1/repos/human-gov-application

4.6: Revert the last commit, and check if that resolves the issue

git log git revert "hash"

the typo is now gone, BUT ... the header size is still H1, and the current requirement is for the header size to be H2

4.7: Modify index.html, changing header to H2

4.8: Commit and push

git status git add index.html git commit -m "Dev2 (Scott) updated index.html header size from H1 to H2 for HumanGov PoC" git push -u origin master

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...
