DevOps Desk

DevOps Desk is a working environment designed for DevOps engineers to perform their daily chores. Typically, this instance is deployed in an environment that DevOps engineers will login to do administrative tasks. The tools popular with DevOps engineers are baked into this AMI and they are readily available for use when a new instance is spun up from this AMI.

These are the main tools available:

• Ansible
• git client
• kubectl
• awscli
• curl
• zip & unzip
• Python 2.7
• Python 3. This is the default python version setup on the AMI.
• Networking triaging tools:
  • arp is used to manipulate the kernel’s ARP cache, usually to add or delete an entry, or to dump the entire cache.
  • dnsdomainname reports the system’s DNS domain name.
  • domainname reports or sets the system’s NIS/YP domain name.
  • hostname reports or sets the name of the current host system.
  • ifconfig is the main utility for configuring network interfaces.
  • netstat is used to report network connections, routing tables, and interface statistics.
  • route is used to manipulate the IP routing table.
