Introduction In this post we will be discussing an approach to have your own CICD system on premise. We will install Gitlab server onto our VMWare cluster running on ESXi.

Introduction In this, we experimented a bit with Packer in combination with AWS. To get a general intro on Packer, go ahead and read that post first.

Introduction Packer is an open source tool for creating identical machine images for multiple platforms from a single source configuration.

What are dynamic secrets In this post, we will discuss the topic of dynamic secrets. What are dynamic secrets then?

What is Hashicorp Vault Taken from the Vault website: Vault is a tool for securely accessing secrets. A secret is anything that you want to tightly control access to, such as API keys, passwords, or certificates.

Introduction In this post we created a simple ACI network using Terraform. In what follows, we will do the same but instead use Ansible.

Introduction In past couple of posts, we have been experimenting with Terraform in combination with ACI and vSphere seperately. In this post, we will combine both and we will first create network constructs on Cisco’s ACI solution and once done, we will create two VM instances on vSphere that are actually using the underlying ACI network constructs.

Introduction In this post, we created a couple of virtual instances running on vSphere using Terraform. We will use that blog post as a reference to install 3 virtual servers on our vSphere environment.

Introduction In this post and this post, we created respectively some EC2 instances on AWS and some network contructs on Cisco’s ACI solution.

Introduction As promised, we’ll configure an ACI network using a CI/CD pipeline. If you understood this post, you’ll easily grasp this one as well.
