Hello Everyone,

Good morning I need help on automation of on boarding process for any new joiner. As you know, when someone joins as developer there are 10-15 tools or applications they need to install manually so has anyone worked on such automation of installing all tools/applications?

Stef avatar

You could use something like an Ansible playbook, Chef Desktop, Microsoft InTune, etc…

Soren Jensen avatar

I will second MS Intune

If you are looking for a simple free solution. I find an on-boarding document with links to the software you need as a new starter is a good solution too. Gives an employee a feeling of being in control of their own laptop.

Sneha P avatar
Sneha P

Yes, Soren we have that simple solution. Now we want to make it more efficient with automation as continuous improvement.

Generally I say automate the developer environments for projects not people.

venkata.mutyala avatar
venkata.mutyala

@Sneha P Have you considered gitpod, jetbrains, or github codespaces (vscode devcontainers)?

I and my small team are using github codespaces and it lets us all use the same version of the tool chain easily. My entire dev environment is in a chrome browser and I have no dev tools installed locally not even docker. It takes me about 1-3mins to have a fresh clean environment. If I need to add more memory/cpu the resize takes 1-3mins.

As for an example of what it looks like:

https://github.com/GlueOps/codespaces/tree/main/.devcontainer

^ that takes like 15mins to build.

We then take that tag and just reference it in our main repo:

https://github.com/GlueOps/glueops/tree/%F0%9F%9A%80%F0%9F%92%8E%F0%9F%99%8C%F0%9F%9A%80/.devcontainer

We have a lot of versions but we only keep the most recent ones setup as a prebuild. The rebuild takes roughly another 15mins for us. So in total to upgrade any version of our tool chain takes about 30mins from start to finish. We just do our updates 1-2x a month. And as mentioned earlier it only takes us 1-4mins to launch a clean environment when we start our day. Also, If you dont do the prebuilds and have a large image like we do, then it can take 10-20mins to startup. So I strongly recommend caching.

Keep in mind remote dev environments can be a poor option for people who aren’t close to the compute region.

venkata.mutyala avatar

I can’t speak to all the solutions but i know github lets you replicate your image globally. Google Cloud has a version that i believe is regional only, so you probably have to do more work and push to all the regions.

kallan.gerard avatar
kallan.gerard

I’ve been leaning more towards trying something like nix.

kallan.gerard avatar
kallan.gerard

It’s not the dev machine image that’s the problem it’s the actual geographical distance from your computer to the virtual machine

1
venkata.mutyala avatar
venkata.mutyala

I have heard about Nix and have heard good things. I have yet to try it

kallan.gerard avatar
kallan.gerard

I’ve tried devcontainers on docker locally several times over the years but it’s always been far more trouble than it’s worth. What I like about nix is it can give you the same end result without the heavy cost of virtualisation that local docker needs

1
kallan.gerard avatar
kallan.gerard

Especially when you’re someone like me who generally hops in and out of different teams repos quickly rather than multiple dev sprint cycles in the same parent project,

I do actually use vscode.dev a lot though,

venkata.mutyala avatar
venkata.mutyala

What’s the story for windows? Does Nix work?

kallan.gerard avatar
kallan.gerard

I haven’t dev’d on windows for about 3 years so I can’t say sorry.

kallan.gerard avatar
kallan.gerard

If I had to dev on windows, I’d be tempted to just get a remote workspace, either codespaces and deal with the latency or force the company to host something in a local region

venkata.mutyala avatar
venkata.mutyala

Haha fair enough. Also, What region are you in Kallan?

kallan.gerard avatar
kallan.gerard

But not having windows would be the cheaper option out of all of those haha

1
venkata.mutyala avatar
venkata.mutyala

Yeah I have always had just one person on all my teams that wants to do things differently. They will usually go above and beyond in making it work too.

kallan.gerard avatar
kallan.gerard

Perth.

To give you some idea

kallan.gerard avatar
kallan.gerard

Singapore is the closest codespaces region

1
kallan.gerard avatar
kallan.gerard

Sydney was, and only recently Melbourne, the closest aws/gcp/azure regions

1
kallan.gerard avatar
kallan.gerard

But yeah if codespaces works and someone is willing to pay for it, I say go for it

kallan.gerard avatar
kallan.gerard

Also you can always do hybrid. So codespaces with the base Github image (cached everywhere, no storage costs), and nix flakes in repos.

kallan.gerard avatar
kallan.gerard

So github codespaces provides the linux machine, and nix in codespaces/local provides the coonsistent developer environment on top.

And don’t forget codespaces don’t have to be 1:1 with repos. So you can have a codespace with multiple repos inside it. And use codespaces without vscode at all such as for running CI tests through a local terminal etc etc.

Howdy folks, just saying hi, I’m a noob with proper devops (manual/light ps scripting historically) but have been in IT from infrastructure and up for many years. Just teaching myself TFE and all this other good stuff now. Appreciate all the hard work you all have done to help folks like me on github. Cheers
