This document summarizes Mitch Pirtle's talk at the International PHP Conference in Berlin 2014 about cloud deployment tools and scenarios. The talk provided an overview of different cloud approaches like self-hosted machines, virtual machines, and virtualized services. It then discussed various tools for dependencies, builds, front-end work, continuous integration, and deployment to the cloud, including Composer, Phing, Grunt, Bower, Travis, Jenkins, Ubuntu Juju, OpenShift, and PHP Cloud. The talk concluded with looking at the current state of PHP deployment in the cloud.

1. Cloud Deployment Toolkits
Mitch Pirtle
International PHP Conference, Berlin 2014

2. –Some Poor Sucker, circa 2000-2010
“I’m off to the cloud.”

3. What this talk is about
Cloud deployment scenarios
Overview of tools available
52 slides, 45 minutes
Sorry, no time for many demos!

5. What about you?
I’m here to learn about specific tools
I’d like to actually see this whole cloud thing
Free coffee!

6. Did you miss these talks?
“From SQL to NoSQL” by Derick Rethans
“Build Smart. Scalable Infrastructure with AWS and
Puppet” by Ben Waine

7. In the beginning…

8. Life in the datacenter
Safe job
Everything takes forever
All is done by hand
Pretty drafty, but ok

9. Then the web happened.

11. Web-sized problems
Where did all these people come from?
Why is everyone using a different device?
Nobody has any patience!
IE7? OMGWTFROFLBBQ!!1!

12. Web-sized consequences
No longer “one app, one machine”
Relational databases primary source of pain
Architecture needs scalable design
…which increases complexity
…which adds to deployment requirements
…and your budget, well that was the mushroom cloud

13. Speaking of deployment…
Not enough time to cover composer, phing, and all the
other awesome deployment tools available
But there’s enough time to complain about how
manual it STILL IS to set all this up

14. And not all is bad news
Hello, AngularJS!
Suddenly PHP is no longer used for formatting markup,
serving javascript and a bunch of non-PHP stuff
(hint hint Wordpress, Drupal and Joomla!)
PHP developers are freed to build simple, smart, fast
RESTful backend services

15. Cloud approaches
Self-hosted machines and appliances
Virtualized machines and appliances
Virtualized services

16. Do It Yourself.
