Provisioning Infra and Deployments In AWS : Using Packer, Terraform and Jenkins

Why DevOps Rides on Immutable Infrastructure? The acceptance of “immutable infrastructure” has emerged as a viable way to improve DevOps processes and culture. By introducing standardisation in application deployment and management, the immutable infrastructure helps, among other things, to foster a better collaborative environment among developers, operations, and other stakeholders.

Let’s discuss a bit about Immutable Infra and the benefits which it brings to the table. Once we have a better understanding of it, we’ll really start to see the use case in our Deployments Model.

Proc File System in Linux – An Overview

The Proc File System (procfs) in Linux is an innovative, virtual file system located in memory. It serves as a live interface to the kernel’s internal data structures. Instead of keeping data on disk, “files” within procfs are created in real time as they are accessed, providing up-to-date information about the system’s processes, hardware, and overall configuration.

Proc File System in Linux – Complete View

The proc file system, or procfs, is a dynamic virtual file system that becomes active when the system boots and disappears during shutdown. It serves as a valuable resource, providing information about currently running processes, and as a hub for controlling and relaying information to the kernel. Additionally, the proc file system facilitates communication between kernel space and user space.

I’d like to share an interesting finding with you today. Perhaps, many of you must be already familiar with it but being a newbie, it really intrigued me. Continue reading “Proc File System in Linux – An Overview”
