This repository will fulfill the instructions.txt requirements. Namely, that a single command can be used to launch an instance and run a web application.
- Terraform
- AWS cli client with credentials configured
- For ssh access to the generated instance, access to the private key that corresponds to
resources/ro-web.pubpublic key. You can generate a new one.
From within this repository run the build and launch script:
./build-and-launch.sh
Terraform will create an AWS "Default VPC" with 2 public subnets, a public "key pair" for launching instances, a web server security group, and an instance with a rails installation and boilerplate rails app served on port 80.
The instance is based on a community Ubuntu 16.04 AMI. A user_data script is used to install ruby, rails, initialize a boilerplate rails app and run it.
