Primary LanguagePython

Step 1 - AWS Environment

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID='--REMOVED--'
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY='--REMOVED--'
export ANSIBLE_HOST_KEY_CHECKING=False

Step 2 - Provioning infrastructure and application

ansible-playbook -v -i bin/ec2.py aws-deploy.yml

Step 3 - Manual steps

  1. create additional instance on another availability zone based on launch configuration
  2. create ELB
  3. create auto-scaling group and policy

Step 4 - Test

Visit https://aws-demo-1467091873.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com/ VIP URL The X-Backend-Server shows load-balancing works.

Step 5 - Future To Do List

  1. Tightening security groups to web instances
  2. Automate provisioning of ELB and Auto-Scaling (roles have been created but not tested)
  3. Dockerize application & DB, have auto-scaling based on creating new instance and run ansible without creating new AMI (very slow)
