just curious, why aren’t there cloudposse modules for azure?

kgibover 5 years ago

is there anything similar to the cloudposse AWS modules or the community supported AWS modules for azure?

Anyone faced errors like

Deployment failed. Correlation ID: REDACTED. Category: ClientError; SubCode: OverconstrainedAllocationRequest; Dependency: Microsoft.Compute/VirtualMachineScaleSet; OrginalError: Code="OverconstrainedAllocationRequest" Message="Allocation failed. VM(s) with the following constraints cannot be allocated, because the condition is too restrictive. Please remove some constraints and try again. Constraints applied are:\n  - Low Priority VMs\n  - Networking Constraints (such as Accelerated Networking or IPv6)\n  - Preemptible VMs (VM might be preempted by another VM with a higher priority)\n  - VM Size\n"; AKSTeam: NodeProvisioning

I am trying to add a spot instance node pool to a cluster. It seems like its due to VM availability, but I am able to create VMs of that size.

(just not add them as a nodepool)

Has anybody used the CAF_solution to create landing zones on azure? Specifically using the Rover

kgibover 5 years ago

@Tom Howarth yes, I’ve been testing

kgibover 5 years ago

ahhh you’re on the gitter chat 🙂

Tom Howarthover 5 years ago

yes, the Gitter chat that is oh so active. and has never once answered a single question of mine, hence my sarcastic comment on there :)

kgibover 5 years ago

yes, I feel that, been having same experience and is very frustrating. AWS community is so supported, but Azure is ghosttown

kgibover 5 years ago

and the CAF is garbage IMO….though I’m contracted to implement it

Tom Howarthover 5 years ago

a ghost town on vacation too

kgibover 5 years ago

have you seen this repo? https://github.com/Azure/caf-terraform-landingzones-starter

Tom Howarthover 5 years ago

yep funny that as I too am a contracter engaged to implement it. I am just finding so many issues

Tom Howarthover 5 years ago

isnit that the one that uses ARM templates?

kgibover 5 years ago

ha! Yea MS gave our client $25k to do it

kgibover 5 years ago

no, it has TF examples with Rover

Tom Howarthover 5 years ago

my issues is even more basic that than that. I have a virgin rover container and it is flatly refusing to create a launchpad.

Tom Howarthover 5 years ago

telling me I need to initialise a launchpad before I can use it

kgibover 5 years ago

using TF?

Tom Howarthover 5 years ago

standard rover command rover -lz path -var-folder path -launchpad -parrallelism=30 -a plan -d

Tom Howarthover 5 years ago

errors out with:

Error on or near line 694: You need to initialise a launchpad first with the command

rover /tf/caf/landingzones/launchpad [plan | apply | destroy] -launchpad; exiting with status 1000

kgibover 5 years ago

rover -lz /tf/caf/landingzones/caf_launchpad \
  -var-folder /tf/caf/configuration/${environment}/level0/launchpad \
  -parallelism 30 \
  -level level0 \
  -env ${caf_environment} \
  -launchpad \
  -a [plan|apply|destroy]

Tom Howarthover 5 years ago

same error

Tom Howarthover 5 years ago

really odd

kgibover 5 years ago

I found this to be much more helpful https://github.com/Azure/caf-terraform-landingzones-starter/tree/starter/enterpris[…]le/construction_sets/aks/online/aks_secure_baseline/landingzone

kgibover 5 years ago

you’re missing something somewhere, works for me

Tom Howarthover 5 years ago

cheers I will have a look at that.

Tom Howarthover 5 years ago

regarding the CAF framework it is so opaque to be a brick wall. the documentation is crap, and so full of gaps.

Tom Howarthover 5 years ago

For example I have not found a coherent post on how to configure the Rover. other than a single youtube video from three years ago

kgibover 5 years ago

yep

kgibover 5 years ago

completely unsustainable IMO…I can see how AWS pivoted to watchtower product

kgibover 5 years ago

CAF isn’t a collection of resources though, so more so a framework for how to deploy. The landingzone is my main deliverable, which is essentially a subscription with policies

kgibover 5 years ago

Rover does it make it easy to deploy. The separtation of TF configs from logic is sort of a good idea. The implementation of it is terrible though. No docs or mature process for using

Tom Howarthover 5 years ago

yep, the separation of TF States is good, but the documenation is so poor as to be non existant.

Tom Howarthover 5 years ago

it may be a better idea to move this to DM's LOL

Tom Howarthover 5 years ago

wow you got a response on Gitter

kgibover 5 years ago

the azure community is a ghostown, so the more we put in public the better IMO

Tom Howarthover 5 years ago

well that is an interesting error message :

Error on or near line 778: Folder /tf/caf/configuration/sandpit/level0/launchpad does not have any tfvars files.; exiting with status 1

kgibover 5 years ago

check the path to the launchpad dir

kgibover 5 years ago

must not be finding it

Tom Howarthover 5 years ago

yet I can do a cd in to that none existent directory

kgibover 5 years ago

may need to modify the path

Tom Howarthover 5 years ago

I am wondering if there is an issue with the june release rover

kgibover 5 years ago

did it find the tfvars files?

kgibover 5 years ago

@Tom Howarth FYI - after investing this CAF module a bit more, I may be abandoning the idea of using it and moving on to test the enterprise scale repo to deploy archetypes, management groups, and policies and using custom modules to deploy vnet resources and such

kgibover 5 years ago

the issue with the CAF repo is nested modules and difficulty in pinning a version. So, if one module changes, it could disrupt any other module using that module. Not a risk worth taking IMO

Tom Howarthover 5 years ago

true, playing with the enterprise scale starter repo at the moment,
