IntelliJ: Migrating to JDK 8.

Intellij: Developing Spark apps w/ SBT, in IntelliJ

Intellij: Prefs -> File Types -> Click ‘+’ -> enter the terms you care about.
make your own highlighter.
(keywords)

So.
Can
I
use
Intellij

Yes. Every project.  Global Search. One window.  The intellij terminal is awesome

Stateless testing of distributed systems and microservices.vagrant, docker-machine

Docker-machine; remember, docker is just a client…. :)
➜  ~  docker-machine create my-new-microsvc --driver=virtualbox
Creating VirtualBox VM...
Creating SSH key...
Starting VirtualBox VM...
Starting VM… To see how to connect Docker to this machine, run: docker-machine env my-new-microsvc

➜  ~  docker-machine env my-new-microsvc
export DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY="1"
export DOCKER_HOST="tcp://192.168.99.100:2376"
export DOCKER_CERT_PATH="/Users/jayvyas/.docker/machine/machines/my-new-microsvc"
export DOCKER_MACHINE_NAME="my-new-microsvc"
# Run this command to configure your shell:
# eval "$(docker-machine env my-new-microsvc)"

vagrant up: making it stateless with animal names
ssh -i ~/.ssh/libra.pem ec2-54-165-101-116.compute-1.amazonaws.com
vagrant ssh-config will give you hints

Using the ALL option to leverage ansible parallel steps.



vagrant up :ansible
what you need to know to use it w/ ansible.

example: using docker-machine to statelessly test microsvc apps for kube.
(use --link for svc glue) see k8petstore.sh build-dev scripts in upstream kubernetes.
