I have an Airgap environment and would like to know if it will work without internet access. The systems I have can't reach the outside of the enclave.
Rundeck doesn't need internet access, you can deploy a Rundeck instance in a server on your local network and dispatch commands and jobs to your "LAN" remote nodes.

I have am trying to set up Data Factory between the on premise SQL Server on a corporate network and a SQL Server hosted in an Azure VM (not MI).
Is this possible? I set up both nodes on the IR and opened firewall port 8060 both on premise and in the Azure VM.
My goal is to copy data as needed from the on premise sql server to the sql server hosted in the azure vm.
I am getting this error
This node has some connectivity issue with the dispatcher node. Please check the connectivity between the nodes within your network.
The Integration Runtime (Self-hosted) node is trying to sync the credentials across nodes. It may take several minutes.
If this warning appears for over 10 minutes, please check the connectivity with Dispatcher node.
In my case port 8060 is being blocked by the corporate firewall, not the server firewall. Since I can't change the corporate firewall, I'll use a different work around. However I can't find a good demo of this working in two separate networks. All the demos use Azure VM's, so I was hoping to test out a real life example.
I want to run a socket program in aws ecs with client and server in one task definition. I am able to run it when I use awsvpc network mode and connect to server on localhost every time. This is good so I don’t need to know the IP address of server. The issue is server has to start on some port and if I run 10 of these tasks only 3 tasks(= number of running instances) run at a time. This is clearly because 10 tasks cannot open the same port. I can manually check for open ports before starting the server and somehow write it to docker shared volume where client can read and connect. But this seems complicated and my server has unnecessary code. For the Services there is dynamic port mapping by using Application Load Balancer but there isn’t anything for simply running tasks.
How can I run multiple socket programs without having to manage the port number in Aws ecs?
If you're using awsvpc mode, each task will get its own eni and there shouldn't be any port conflict. But each instance type has a limited number of enis available. You can increase that by enabling eni trunking which, however is supported by a handful of instance types:

I have installed the latest mongodb mms agent (6.5.0.456) on ubuntu 16.04 and initialised the replicaset. Hence I am running a single node replicaset with the monitoring agent enabled. The agent works fine, however it does not seem to actually find the replicaset member:
[2018/05/26 18:30:30.222] [agent.info] [components/agent.go:Iterate:170] Received new configuration: Primary agent, Assigned 0 out of 0 plus 0 chunk monitor(s)
[2018/05/26 18:30:30.222] [agent.info] [components/agent.go:Iterate:182] Nothing to do. Either the server detected the possibility of another monitoring agent running, or no Hosts are configured on the Group.
[2018/05/26 18:30:30.222] [agent.info] [components/agent.go:Run:199] Done. Sleeping for 55s...
[2018/05/26 18:30:30.222] [discovery.monitor.info] [components/discovery.go:discover:746] Performing discovery with 0 hosts
[2018/05/26 18:30:30.222] [discovery.monitor.info] [components/discovery.go:discover:803] Received discovery responses from 0/0 requests after 891ns
I can see two processes for monitor agents:
/bin/sh -c /usr/bin/mongodb-mms-monitoring-agent -conf /etc/mongodb-mms/monitoring-agent.config >> /var/log/mongodb-mms/monitoring-agent.log 2>&1
/usr/bin/mongodb-mms-monitoring-agent -conf /etc/mongodb-mms/monitoring-agent.config
However if I terminate one, it also tears down the other, so I do not think that is the problem.
So, question is what is the Group that the agent is referring to. Where is that configured? Or how do I find out which Group the agent refers to and how do I check if the group is configured correctly.
The rs.config() looks fine, with one replicaset member, which has a host field, which looks just fine. I can use that value to connect to the instance using the mongo command. no auth is configured.
EDIT
It kind of looks that the cloud manager now needs to be configured with the seed host. Then it starts to discover all the other nodes in the replicaset. This seems to be different to pre-cloud-manager days, where the agent was able to track the rs - if I remember correctly... Probably there still is a way to get this done easier, so I am leaving this question open for now...

Configuration values for the Cloud Manager agent (such as mmsGroupId and mmsApiKey) are set in the config file, which is /etc/mongodb-mms/monitoring-agent.config by default. The agent needs this information in order to communicate with the Cloud Manager servers.
For more details, see Install or Update the Monitoring Agent and Monitoring Agent Configuration in the Cloud Manager documentation.

Unless a MongoDB process is already managed by Cloud Manager automation, I believe it has always been the case that you need to add an existing MongoDB process to monitoring to start the process of initial topology discovery. Once a deployment is monitored, any changes in deployment membership should automatically be discovered by the Cloud Manager agent.
Production employments should have authentication and access control enabled, so in addition to adding a seed hostname and port via the Cloud Manager UI you usually need to provide appropriate credentials.
We have a public website hosted on two Azure IaaS VMs which are behind a Network Load Balancer. What are the available solutions to auto patch and reboot without impacting site availability?
I am looking for a solution like this
Suppress the IaaS VM in NLB to stop the traffic coming to the VM. (apply a network security group to stop the traffic)
Run the monthly patches/updates on the IaaS VM
Restart the IaaS VM
Enable the IaaS VM in NLB to allow the traffic.
Move on to next server
Are there any solution available for this in Azure?
or
do we need to prepare our own PowerShell scripts to do this? if its a PowerShell script how to make it run monthly once?
Are there any solution available for this in Azure?
I suggest you could use Update Management solution in the Operations Management Suite, you can now configure an automated patching schedule for your Azure IaaS VMs.
There you can define a one time, a weekly or monthly schedule. The possibility adding different VMs to different schedules ensures that your services running on Azure IaaS VMs will be always available during an automated patching schedule.
More information please refer to this link.
I have an environment (Graphite) that looks like the following:
N worker servers
1 relay server that forwards work to these worker servers
1 web server that can query the relay server.
I would like to use Chef to setup and deploy this environment in EC2 without having to create each worker server individually, get their IPs and set them as attributes in the relay cookbook, create that relay, get the IP, set it as an attribute in the web server cookbook, etc.
Is there a way using chef in which I can make sure that the environment is properly deployed, configured and running without having to set the IPs manually? Particularly, I would like to be able to add a worker server and have the relay update its worker list, or swap the relay server for another one and have the web server update its reference accordingly.
Perhaps this is not what Chef is intended for and is more for per-server configuration and deployment, if that is the case, what would be a technology that facilitates this?
Things you will need are:
knife-ec2 - This is used to start/stop Amazon EC2 instances.
chef-server - To be able to use search in your recipes. It should be also accessible from your EC2 instances.
search - with this you will be able to find among the nodes provisioned by chef, exactly the one you need using different queries.
I have lately written an article How to Run Dynamic Cloud Tests with 800 Tomcats, Amazon EC2, Jenkins and LiveRebel. It involves loadbalancer installation and loadbalancer must know all IP adresses of the servers it balances. You can check out the recipe of balanced node, how it looks for loadbalancer:
search(:node, "roles:lr-loadbalancer").first
And check out the loadbalancer recipe, how it looks for all the balanced nodes and updates the apache config file:
lr_nodes = search(:node, "role:lr-node")
template ::File.join( node[:apache2][:home], 'conf.d', 'httpd-proxy-balancer.conf' ) do
mode 0644
variables(:lr_nodes => lr_nodes)
notifies :restart, 'service[apache2]'
end
