User provisioned sites targeting multiple providers

Murray Woodman, Marji Cermak February 15, 2014

How did we get here?

How can we make it easy for users to spin up sites?

Drupal As A Service There are lots of options now

APIs which allow installing or cloning

Introducing Cyclone

Drupal contrib module Open source Jenkins scripts

http://drupal.org/projects/cyclone http://github.com/morpht/cyclone-jenkins

Terminus (Pantheon)

• Command Line Interface (CLI)
• Drush plugin
• Open-source

https://github.com/pantheon-systems/terminus

CLI version of Pantheon

• Create new sites.
• Deploy code.
• Sync environments.
• Perform backup on demand.
• Connect to services: database, filesystem.

Terminus session

$ drush pantheon-auth $ drush pantheon-site-create my-site --label='My Site' -- product=21e1fada-199c-492b-97bd-0b36b53a9da0 $ drush pantheon-aliases $ drush -y @pantheon.my-site.dev si --site-name='My site' pantheon $ drush -y @pantheon.my-site.dev en views ctools $ drush psite-dash my-site -y $ drush psite-clone $SITE_UUID dev test

Cyclone methods for Pantheon

site_create

• import <archive_url> <new_site>
• install <product_id> <inst_profile> <new_site>
• clone <src_site> <new_site>

site_destroy <site>

Pantheon heads up

Upstream repos are coming!

https://groups.google.com/a/getpantheon.com/forum/#!forum/engineering-talk

Provision (Aegir)

A backend component of the Aegir hosting system. https://drupal.org/project/provision Access functionality via drush.

• manage drush aliases
• provision sites
• delete sites
• perform backup on demand

https://drupal.org/project/provision

Provision (Aegir)

Clone an existing site

$ drush @wellington.cyclone.morpht.com provision-clone @my- wellington.cyclone.morpht.com $ drush @hostmaster hosting-task --force @platform_drupal726 verify https://drupal.org/project/provision

Provision (Aegir)

Install a new site from installation profile

$ drush provision-save @kiwi.cyclone.morpht.com

• -context_type=site --uri=kiwi.cyclone.morpht.com
• -platform=@platform_drupal726 --profile=standard
• -db_server=@server_localhost --client_name=admin

$ drush @kiwi.cyclone.morpht.com provision-install $ drush @hostmaster hosting-task

• -force @platform_drupal726 verify

https://drupal.org/project/provision

Cyclone methods for Aegir

site_create

• clone <src_site> <new_site>
• install <platform_alias> <inst_profile> <new_site>

site_destroy <site>

Cyclone The contrib project

Demo

A walkthrough of the backend UI

ctools plugins

Making things extensible

Builders

$plugin = array( 'name' => 'cyclone_builder_jenkins', 'label' => t('Jenkins Builder'), 'description' => t("Builds sites with Jenkins."), 'handler' => array( 'class' => 'CycloneJenkinsBuilder', ), );

Webhook: Jenkins talks to Cyclone

webhook module

$plugin = array( 'title' => t('URL encoded key=value'), 'handler' => array( 'class' => 'Webhook_Plugins_Unserializer_UrlEncoded', ), ); $plugin = array( 'title' => t('Cyclone Status Processor'), 'handler' => array( 'class' => 'CycloneStatusProcessor', ), );

No hacky Jenkins scripts

Objective 1

Cyclone passes the Builder class as a string down to Cyclone Jenkins.

Cyclone Jenkins Builders

cyclone_jenkins/cyclone/builders.py class Aegir(Builder): def __init__(self, provider): def site_create(self, site_id, target, params, extensions): def site_destroy(self, site_id, target, params, extensions): class Pantheon(Builder): def __init__(self, provider): def site_create(self, site_id, target, params, extensions): def site_destroy(self, site_id, target, params, extensions):

Easily extensible

Objective 2

Cyclone passes the Extension class as a string down to Cyclone Jenkins.

Extensible Extensions ;-)

cyclone_jenkins/cyclone/extensions.py class Variables(Extension): def extend(self, ext_params): class Enable(Extension): def extend(self, ext_params): class Disable(Extension): def extend(self, ext_params): class SomethingReallyBespoke(Extension): def extend(self, ext_params):

Cyclone Jenkins

The backend companion

Why Jenkins?

• Auditing
• Serialise jobs
• Security

Jenkins security: a few worries

• Superpowers
• No SSL with basic auth
• Logged in users often can do anything
• Anonymous user can see too much

Jenkins hardening tips

• HTTPS offloader
• firewall when possible
• user TOKENS for evoking scripts
• use the LTS Jenkins version, installed from a package

Conclusion

User provisioned sites

Who is this for?

• Trainers can provide sandboxes for education.
• Agencies can demo for leads.
• Entrepreneurs can provide subscription services.
• Institutions can give power to departments.
• Evangelists can expose new users to Drupal.

Drupal site showcase

Not trivial to set up Jenkins. Agencies can try out Cyclone. Proof of concept. http://drupal.site-showcase.com

The future

• Refactoring is required.
• Stabilise code for current providers.
• Integrate new providers:

○ Acquia ○ Aberdeen

• Helpful extensions
