A tool for easily deploying Concourse in a single command.
(Don't forget to read the pre-requisites!)
$ AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<access-key-id> \
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<secret-access-key> \
control-tower deploy --iaas aws <your-project-name>$ GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=<path/to/googlecreds.json> \
control-tower deploy --iaas gcp <your-project-name>The goal of Control Tower is to be the world's easiest way to deploy and operate Concourse CI in production.
In just one command you can deploy a new Concourse environment for your team, on either AWS or GCP. Your Control Tower deployment will upgrade itself and self-heal, restoring the underlying VMs if needed. Using the same command-line tool you can do things like manage DNS, scale your environment, or manage firewall policy. CredHub is provided for secrets management and Grafana for viewing your Concourse metrics.
You can keep up to date on Control Tower announcements by reading the EngineerBetter Blog and by joining the discussion on our Community Slack.
