Listen "How we tame Google Cloud resources with R2D2"
Episode Synopsis
How we tame Google Cloud resources with R2D2. We had some episodes on the cloud already. Now it’s time to discuss how bol.com combines the promises of the cloud and their requirements for Reproducibility and Reliability.What this episode coversFor instance, balance infinite resources and ultimate autonomy with security.Within bol.com we developed R2D2. R2D2 stands for our Reproducible Resource Deployment Definition tool which combines the functions of Terraform, Cloud SDK and Puppet Labs.It helps us to ensure Recovery, Security, Self-service, Stability and Scalability in our move to the cloud.The reason we think we need to secure these aspects: Bol.com has over 100 scrum teams innovating our IT-landscape with over 500 services. We must secure our 10 million customers' data and the data of our 23.000 sellers.GuestsJeroen Schutrup; Site Reliability Engineer in the team that develops the R2D2.Quiran Storey; Site Reliability Engineer - just like Jeroen solving operation problems with software solutions.NotesOverview of the R2D2 architecture(Image: https://cdn.sanity.io/images/qxrxmo3r/techlab-prd/cd7a5b48d10ef97931e5f3b4b6e6fcd816114ff3-569x380.jpg)Google Cloud (GCP)Google Cloud SDKThe main orchestration tool PuppetTerraformPythonOther cloud episodes and blogs:Redesign for the CloudCloud enables data-drivenMove data in the cloud with StanleyShopify's story during SRE 2018 in Dusseldorf
