Implementing infrastructure-as-code with Ansible and GIT!

What is "infrastructure-as-code"?

Imaging

one click and you can run a full server
- to include your favorite operating system
- applications
- security rules
- and custom settings

and this can be reproduced tens, hundreds or even thousands of times, all without human intervention

Thats the world of infrastructure as code, IaC for short

IaC is a process where, you define a configuration template with all the required settings and customizations, and a provisioning tool will take care of the rest.

implement infrastructure-as-code

To successfully implement the infrastructure-as-code and to keep the concept simple we will use

git for "Code Repository and Versioning"
ansible for "Automation tool" that takes control of the infrastructure configuration and performs the necessary actions to reach the desired end-state.

Usage

run instance

Run "microservice-ansible"
- Instances→running Containers→Actions [microservice-ansible_masterservice_1]
  - connect [Open a terminal and Run]

find examples

Run "microservice-ansible"
- Instances→running Containers→Actions [microservice-ansible_masterservice_1]
  - connect [Project BaseDir]

cd in [Project BaseDir]/examples

Attach network

Run "microservice-ansible"
- Instances→running Containers→Actions [microservice-ansible_masterservice_1]
  - Networks→"Select Network"

Scenario

run swarm

Run "hybrid-linux"
- Labroom→"Swarmlab LabRoom Deploy - Local "→Actions [hybrid-linux]
  - Number of Instances (e.g. 5) → Up

run ansible

Run "microservice-ansible"
- Instances→running Containers→Actions [microservice-ansible_masterservice_1]
  - connect [Open a terminal and Run]

Attach network

Run "microservice-ansible"
- Instances→running Containers→Actions [microservice-ansible_masterservice_1]
  - Networks→"Select Network" [network hybrid linux]

Terminal: microservice-ansible

cd /home/docker/project/examples
