Jolie on Azure Functions

Immagine
Hi all. Some weeks ago Azure Functions' team released (as a preview) custom handlers . From the official doc: Custom handlers are best suited for situations where you want to: Implement a function app in a language that's not officially supported . Implement a function app in a language version or runtime not supported by default. Provide more granular control over the function app execution environment. I think this is a really powerful feature and you can actually find a lot of articles showing how to leverage it to write functions in Go, PHP, etc Now I'm going to add yet another programming language to the list: Jolie . Again, from the documentation: To implement a custom handler, you need the following aspects to your application: A host.json file at the root of your app A function.json file for each function (inside a folder that matches the function name) A command, script, or executable, which runs a web server In addition, you have to supply a...

Ansible, Azure & WSL survival guide (VS Code bonus track)

Hi all you new DevOps! This guide is meant for poor Windows' users struggling to get Ansible working on their workstations, like me few days ago :-( Scenario: you're involved in a brand new cloud project on Azure, you're trying to make things work with Ansible and your company provides you a Windows 10 ™ PC, but Ansible DO NOT RUN on Windows. In addiction you're lazy and bored to start yet another virtual machine, just to type "git pull" and "ansible-palybook" :-D (by the way your precious SSD is getting dangerously full). And you do want your memory greed Visual Studio Code, with autocompletion, syntax highlight, all-known languages modules and other silly stuff. First of all, let's install WSL (if you don't know what WSL is, google it): https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10 I assume you installed an Ubuntu 16.04 upon WSL. Quite simple, isn't it? Now you should install Ansible and all needed Azure modules....

Jolie micro services on Kubernetes

Jolie is a (micro) service-oriented language. Jolie's capabilities work well with Docker and you can find an example in the official documentation here . So d eploying a Jolie service in a Docker container is quite easy. Now it's time to go onboard with Kubernetes ;-) This is only a little demo on how to set up a Kubernetes environment on your PC (thanks to minikube) and build up a scalable clusterized version of Jolie's "Hello world" example. You can find Jolie examples on this GitHub project . What we are going to do now is to transform "01_getting_started" sample (which simply twices a number) into a powerful Kubernetes scalable app (doing exactly the same thing, but in a cool way). If you object that this is very unreasonable, I have to remind you that it is perfectly aligned with today's software industry standards. :-P To be honest I'm not going to explain what Kubernetes is and how it does what it does, so please go read a...
