Clojurians Log v2

Further to Q2, I can imagine how to configure two different EC2 targets using the config file to achieve Blue/Green pretty easily. What I’m raising is that I initially thought that this kind of deployment process was included in Roll because of the tagline. Is that my mistake or will Roll eventually have a sample of full Blue/Green to support the tagline?

Hi @steveb8n

good morning…

The way we do blue green is to have multiple asgs running diff versions

Then you flip which one has the load balancer when you are happy

I figured it would be something like that. I’ll try setting that up

would be good to have that particular recipe in the docs for all

Totally :-)

The idea is you keep modifying the config to promote different versions, so you have a deployment history

likewise the KMS secret read sample

interesting. I discovered the use of tags in your sample to generate artifact names in the S3 bucket

would that not work i.e. then wouldn’t need config changes

?

This feedback is great and we will work on the docs

Tags? Do you mean :latest ?

I found that the upload command needed a git tag to work. when I added a tag, everything worked

so I inferred that git tags were the way you ‘version’ your artifacts. Is that inference wrong?

in my case I use semvers as tags

Ah I see. Yes, it shouldn't need tags. I http://am.in the office today so will have a look

good to know. want me to log an issue for that?

It should be able to use the git sha and not rely on tags

Please yes!

done

Cheers

Now that I am fully deployed, I’m wondering how else I can use Roll. e.g. Datomic. Or should I use the packer recipe for that?

I will write you something up today/tomorrow

also, should I log an issue for Q1 as well?

For Q1, try doing a tf plan in between

ok, will do. I think I already have but I’ll double check

before long I’ll build a docker image so I can run all this in Bitbucket pipelines. that can be public so all can benefit

It might be terraform has lost track of an asg. I don't think this is a roll issue..

That would be great

last Q (I promise). I also want to deploy a Reimann server and hook up clients. Do you think Roll will be a good fit for that as well?

The approach of add tf config in addition to what roll has built.. Yes. We do this for Riemann

Let me get something to you

great. happy to test all this great stuff. thanks again, this is fun

We have a pack-riemann on github I think

Will check the status later

oh, so Roll drives the packer process? I didn’t make the connectin

connection

No it doesn't, but this repo gives an idea

cool. I’ll do the homework. thx

Have to go to the gym now... but in the office a little later

Go big or go home!

Right ;-)

It has been such a mental couple of weeks, and holidays before that. Normally I am more responsive, so apologies for that.

no problem, if I’m ever in a rush I’ll say so, but that’s almost never. just grateful 🙂

Thanks to @dominicm for stepping in. The good news is Roll is on the roadmap for a couple of clients, so it will get some more upgrades and general love

and @dominicm has been great

:simple_smile:

Ttyl

see ya.

btw I’m using Pedestal and lein to build instead of Yada/Boot so nice to know another variation works with Roll. And port 8080 instead of 3080

now I’ll stop 🙂

The AMI is now optional with roll :) and it will get the right one for your region.
