Whenever i create a new Environment in Elastic Beanstalk, i manually configure the Custom AMI ID, SNS notifications etc., but i want to do it automatically i.e, save the settings(custom AMI ID, SNS, key-pair etc.,) into a configuration template. Is it through Command line tools or from AWS management console that we can create this Configuration Template. Please suggest me.
You can easily do this through Amazon's web console. If you have a configuration you like just press save configuration. You can then use edit/load configuration to push that to new environments
If you are using the elastic beanstalk command line tools, when you setup an environment using the command git aws.config it creates a directory called .elasticbeanstalk with a file in it called config that looks like this:
[global]
AwsCredentialFile=/path/to/file/with/aws/account/credentials
ApplicationName=YourAppName
DevToolsEndpoint=git.elasticbeanstalk.your-region-name.amazonaws.com
EnvironmentName=yourEnvName
Region=your-region-name
Hope that helps!
Elastic Beanstalk's console is pretty lacking when it comes to configuring templates. You can't update or delete templates. There is a command line tool for full control.
You can also get the AWS Eclipse plugin. It's not as full featured like the CLI, but much better than web console.

I have several EB applications that I would like to convert from a classic to an application load balancer. In the documentation it seems that the default way is to create a new environment from scratch with the proper load balancer. Considering that I have many environment variables and several environments, I would prefer not to have to rebuild applications. Is there a way to switch out the load balancer on an already running application?
It is not possible to set a a load balancer type except at creation time. You can use elastic beanstalk cli and aws cli to clone the application with the same config and version. To get the deployed application version run:
aws elasticbeanstalk describe-environments --application-name ${APPLICATION_NAME} --environment-names ${SRC_ENV_NAME} | jq -r '.Environments | .[] | .VersionLabel'
The jq pipe filters out the rest of the json blob.
After that, you can save the config of the curent appication using:
eb config save $SRC_ENV_NAME --cfg "${SRC_ENV_NAME}_save"
Then create an application clone using:
eb create $NEW_ENV_NAME --elb-type application --cfg "${SRC_ENV_NAME}_save" --version $APP_VERSION
Where APP_VERSION is the string extracted in step one.
It is not simple, but it can be done.
If the Envivornment name is important to you, it gets a little trickier.
Here is it how it should go, step by step (using the web console):
Save the configuration of the Environment you want to change
From the Saved config, generate a new Env (select Customize settings)
2.1) Change the LB type to Application and fill out all the necessary info for this
Swap the URLs from the original env to the new one (check if everything is working with the new env, if not swap back)
[STEPS ONLY NECESSARY IF ENV NAME IS IMPORTANT]
Delete the original env (which now is not receiving traffic and has a Classic LB)
Wait until the original name disappears from the console (it make take a couple of hours)
Clone the production env, and give the new env the original env name
Swap URLs
Done!
I have installed and configured a custom Laravel private repository hosted on bitbucket on minishift running on my laptop. I found that all the files were imported properly without any issues and the image is running.
However, now I want to make configuration changes in my repository for my application to work. How do I make it?
Will I have to import the image from VM on my laptop, work on them
and then push the changes back
Or will I be able to access the files or folder from within my editor or IDE?
I am new to Openshift origin and using it for the first time.
If you have your source code on Bitbucket, you would checkout the repository to your local laptop, make the changes, commit them, and push them back to the repository on Bitbucket. You would then tell OpenShift to rebuild the application by clicking on the Start Build button on the build configuration details in the web console, or by using oc start-build on the command line, supplying it the name of the build configuration to do the build for. The rebuilding of the image from the code when done will automatically trigger a new deployment. If you set up a webhook in Bitbucket, you can have it tell OpenShift when new changes have been pushed and that will trigger a build without you needing to do it manually.
If you are quite new, I would suggest you work through the interactive tutorials at:
https://learn.openshift.com
Also read the free eBook on OpenShift.

I'm new to Azure.
I have JSON template that successfully deploys VM.
Can I add some code to JSON template to deploy this VM with rootCA. Or some syntax for AD CS deployment.
I googled a lot but there are only DSC methods.
You can't "add some code to JSON template".
Your options:
Native ARM via Keyvault:
https://github.com/Azure/azure-quickstart-templates/blob/875d139c16c9c023dce519e6dd48c707e3473346/201-vm-push-certificate-windows/azuredeploy.json
Add an extention to the ARM template.
An extention can be DSC as you mentioned, but can also be custom PowerShell for example. (see custom script extension)
Run your script after the deployment. If you run New-AzureRmResourceGroupDeployment form PowerShell, you can output the VM connection information, and manage it after. See how to configure WinRM on a created VM.
We have downloaded and installed a running instance of Wirecloud in our company server following the steps at:
https://conwet.fi.upm.es/wirecloud/install
We created the instance using the --quick-start command to try the instance, and ran wirecloud using the Django internal web server with the following command:
$ python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8080 --insecure
We are able to enter the instance, and move around the enviroment, but we have encountered a problem when we try to upload a widget to our local workspace. After I search for the widget in my computer (previously downloaded from the Fi-lab marketplace), we get the next message:
Error adding packaged resource: Internal Server Error.
We also tried to download the zip file of the widget from github, unzip it and recompress it as a wgt file (compress as a zip but changing the extension to .wgt) and we get the same answer from our wirecloud instance; but if we try to upload the same package to the instance in fi-lab, it uploads successfully.
We don't know if it's because of the quick-start installation we made or if we have to modify something from our widget files in order to be able to upload it to our local instance.
Solved
The problem was in the config.xml file: the name of the attributes and the structure of the widgets unable to upload were different from the template of the config.xml file posted at the users guide.
After changing it to follow the structure of the template it works fine.
My widget example was the NGSI Updater. The thing is that it uploads perfectly in the instance at FiLab, even though the config.xml file had a different structure from the one of the template; but it encounters an error when uploading it to the Wirecloud local instance at my server.
How to enter subversion credentials in Hudson by shell?
I've tried to generate file hudson.scm.SubversionSCM.xml in HUDSON_HOME and reload configuration, but changes weren't applied.
The easiest way to enter a credential from the shell is to use "svn" executable. Hudson recognizes the ~/.subversion/auth directory that it creates.
Under Windows the global credenentials are stored under %APPDATA%\Subversion\auth. The following Groovy code helps generating these credentials:
SVNRepository repository = SVNRepositoryFactory.create(SVNURL.parseURIEncoded(url))
ISVNAuthenticationManager authManager = SVNWCUtil.createDefaultAuthenticationManager(SVNWCUtil.defaultConfigurationDirectory,"AD\user","password",true)
repository.setAuthenticationManager(authManager)
repository.getDir("", -1, null ,(Collection)null) // or some random SVN operation
Libraries used in the code above (example in Gradle):
compile 'org.tmatesoft.svnkit:org.tmatesoft.svnkit:1.7.8'
compile 'net.java.dev.jna:jna:3.4.0' // so wincrypt is available
Make sure you run the code with the same user Hudson runs on the Windows machine.
Just start with the Hudson.
Install all required Plug-Ins.
Hit the link,EX:-localhost:8080/hudson
Click on the add job/Create job.
While choosing the options SVN will be present there,Give the SVN location.
Credentials link is present out there.Click on that link.
A form will get open,provide valid credentials for that location of SVN.
Observe the Success message on the screen and then get back to the Create job,Complete with Job creation and Build the task.
