A little bit of Puppet, and a dash of Vagrant, and BOOM. Jenkins cluster.
Create the following files:
.vagrant_secret_access_key- AWS secret access key.vagrant_key_id- AWS key ID.vagrant_keypair_name- Name of a Keypair already configured in AWS
Note: This requires Ruby 2.0 or later to be the default Ruby that you're using
Then blindly run the following commands in your terminal:
bundle install
librarian-puppet install
vagrant up
By default the Jenkins master machine isn't configured to be publicly accessible because there isn't any authentication that will be set up. In order to connect use SSH port forwarding:
% vagrant ssh jenkinsmaster -- -L 8080:localhost:8080
Then open up localhost:8080 in your web browser and start using Jenkins!
