This repo contains configurationf files and codes providing an example of provisioning a multi-tier server architecture environment using Vagrant, Virturalbox, Ansible and Docker.
The original requirment is here
Disclaimer: This is not a secure setup. It is only for test and demo purpose.
You will need to have Vagrant and Virturalbox installed in your host machine. You can find the details of installation below:
Simply run below command on your console:
$ vagrant up
After all the process is done, you can visit the result on your local browser using address http://localhost:8333. It will show a list of movies which is the outcome of querying mysql server.
Note: I chose to use port 8333 instead of port 80 from the requirement to avoid port conflict on the host machine because 80 is usually occupied.
Architeture:

There are three VMs in this example:
- Ansible Control which works as the provisioning server using Ansible
- Web server. It has a simple web app runs in a docker container (original codes are in demo-app folder whereas the docker image hosted in https://hub.docker.com/r/liangrog/telstra-demo-app/), which listens to incoming request via port
8080then serve it with result from query to a table in the mysql server - Mysql server runs mysql and has a demo database contains one table that has a list of movies
Provisioning work flow:
vagrant up

v
Download centos7 vagrant box
+
|
v
Create web server vm
+
|
v
Create mysql server vm
+

v
Create Ansible control vm then:
1. run provision.sh to setup Ansible runtime
2. run Ansible playbook to provision web server and mysql server
