Amazon Web services EC2 and Digital Ocean droplet server provisioning written in nodeJS.
Automatically provision servers using nodeJS API from 2 service providers - Amazon Web Services and Digital Ocean. The code requests a new VM and then saves or prints out the ip address of the new server.
In Terminal (macOS) or Powershell (Windows) type in the following:
git clone https://github.com/gms298/Automatic-Server-Provisioning-using-NodeJS
Before running the program, it is essential to set your own access keys as environment variables. Here is a list of all environment variables required:
| Key to be set | Environment variable |
|---|---|
| Amazon AWS Access key ID | AWS _ ACCESS _ KEY _ ID |
| Amazon AWS Secret key | AWS _ SECRET _ ACCESS _ KEY |
| Digital Ocean Access Token | DOTOKEN |
| Digital Ocean SSH key | DOPERSONALKEY |
Now, run the main.sh shell script using . main.sh. This will automatically execute two programs:
- aws.js - Provisions a EC2 instance in Amazon Web Services (AWS).
- droplet.js - Provisions a droplet in Digital Ocean.
Both the servers are spawned using Ubuntu 16.04 images and the public IP addresses of both servers are printed in the terminal/powershell console. These IP addresses can then be pinged to verify that it is reachable.
