Description

This is a template for deploying a Single Windows server running IIS, ASP .Net 4.5 and FTP.

This deployment configures IIS with installs ASP .Net 4.5 It also creates a FTP site.

Requirements

A Heat provider that supports Rackspace::Cloud::WinServer.
An OpenStack username, password, and tenant id.
python-heatclient >= v0.2.8:

pip install python-heatclient

We recommend installing the client within a Python virtual environment.

Example Usage

Here is an example of how to deploy this template using the python-heatclient:

heat --os-username <OS-USERNAME> --os-password <OS-PASSWORD> --os-tenant-id \
  <TENANT-ID> --os-auth-url https://identity.api.rackspacecloud.com/v2.0/ \
  stack-create aspdotnet -f asp.net-app-single.yaml \
  -P server_hostname=my-site -P domain=example.org -P ftp_username=ftp_user

For UK customers, use https://lon.identity.api.rackspacecloud.com/v2.0/ as the --os-auth-url.

Optionally, set environmental variables to avoid needing to provide these values every time a call is made:

export OS_USERNAME=<USERNAME>
export OS_PASSWORD=<PASSWORD>
export OS_TENANT_ID=<TENANT-ID>
export OS_AUTH_URL=<AUTH-URL>

Stack Details

Getting Started

If you're new to running a web application built with ASP .Net framework ASP .Net Getting Started will help walk you through learn about ASP .Net and Getting Started with IIS has great details about IIS and its parameters.

Logging in via Remote Desktop

The Administrator password is included in the passwords/secrets section of this deployment. Use that password and the instructions found here to login and begin managing IIS.

Details of Your Setup

This setup was built using a Powershell Script. Once the deployment is up, the script will not be run again, so it is safe to change settings and configurations on your server and within IIS. The FTP (File transfer Protocol) credential is included in the passwords/secrets section of this deployment.

There are substantial changes still happening within the OpenStack Heat project. Template contribution guidelines will be drafted in the near future.
