Title
Description
By, Aja Hammerly Like most programmers I am lazy. I don't want to do something by hand if I can automate it. I also think DevOps can be dreadfully dull. Luckily there are now tools that support lazy DevOps. I'll demonstrate how using Docker containers and Kubernetes allows you to be lazy and get back to building cool features (or watching cat videos). I'll go over some of the pros and cons to the "lazy" way and I'll show how these tools can be used by both simple and complex apps. Help us caption & translate this video! http://amara.org/v/G6rF/

Summary
Markdown supported
The video "DevOps for The Lazy" by Aja Hammerly, presented at RailsConf 2015, explores how automation tools like Docker and Kubernetes can simplify DevOps processes, particularly for developers who prefer to minimize repetitive tasks. Aja, passionate about solving complex problems yet admitting to a "lazy" approach, emphasizes the importance of building systems that can self-maintain. Key points discussed include: - **Understanding Containers**: Aja defines containers as a means for multiple applications to share hardware with a minimal footprint, similar to packaging an application with all its necessary dependencies. - **Using Docker**: Aja prefers Docker for its community support and ease of use, demonstrating how to set up a simple Rails application using Docker. - **Creating a Rails App**: The presentation walks through building a basic to-do list app, focusing on modifying the Gemfile and Dockerfile, implementing PostgreSQL for production, and managing the Docker environment. - **Advantages of Containers**: Key benefits include consistency across environments, fast startup times compared to traditional VMs, flexibility in deployment processes, and portability across platforms. - **Kubernetes for Orchestration**: Transitioning to Kubernetes, Aja explains its role in managing clusters of containers, with components like pods for application deployment, services for load balancing, and replication for scaling applications. - **Challenges**: Aja cautions that containers aren’t universally needed for every project and addresses potential downsides such as the YAGNI principle and considerations for security and resource management. Aja concludes with a note on the advantages of leveraging cloud services offered by Google, highlighting a risk-free trial to encourage exploration of these DevOps tools. The session wraps with an open floor for questions, demonstrating the speaker's engagement with the audience and commitment to assisting individuals in their DevOps journey.
