DevOps Openhack proctor environment code and provisioning scripts

DevOps Openhack Proctor Repository

This repo contains the code for the provisioning of the resources necessary to execute a DevOps openhack event. The relevant code individual teams use (i.e. the APIs) to complete their challenges can be found in the DevOps Openhack Team repository.

Components

The components are organized by folders which contain the following:

• leaderboard - visualizes the uptime for the teams' APIs and contains an Azure Functions API which connects to CosmosDB, Sentinel (pods to query the APIs and report status), and a web front end.
• provision-proctor - code to support the provisioning of a complete proctor environment (1 needed per event).
• provision-team - code to support the provisioning of a complete team environment.
• provision-vm - automates the provisioning of an Ubuntu 16.04 VM used as the foundation for provisioning the team and proctor environments.
• simulator - simulates traffic to the SQL database the APIs use for every team's environment.

Go to the root of these folders to see a readme with deeper information on each component.

• An Azure Subscription

High-Level Installation Flow

1. Deploy a team environment using the Azure Resource Manager template.
2. Create a Proctor Environment using the Azure Resource Manager template.
3. Deploy Sentinel to monitor the team environment using the deploy_sentinel script on the proctor VM.
