Spree-environment

What is this repo about?

Terraform & Ansible configurations that provision Spree app in K8S pods (via CI/CD process in Jenkins) on AWS (Using it as the cloud provider) with prometheus/kibana monitoring

Deploying this repo will provision a fully working environment (almost :) need to manually run jenkins job once, and re-register jobs hooks and then it'll ALL be automatic) that demonstrates a full life cycle of an application including its entire supporting infrastructure and monitoring.

How to use this repository

1. git clone https://github.com/hilafish/spree-environment.git

2. cd spree-environment

3. terraform init (make sure you have terraform installed)

4. terraform plan -var 'aws_access_key=access_key_here' -var 'aws_secret_key=secret_key_here' -var 'aws_private_key_path=path_to_private_key_here' -var 'aws_key_name=key_pair_name_here' -var 'vault_pass=vault_pass'

(if you want to know what's going to be installed.. it's a good practice to run plan first)

5. terraform apply -var 'aws_access_key=access_key_here' -var 'aws_secret_key=secret_key_here' -var 'aws_private_key_path=path_to_private_key_here' -var 'aws_key_name=key_pair_name_here' -var 'vault_pass=vault_pass' --auto-approve

NOTE: region = "us-west-2". If you would like to use other region, change it in the ec2.tf file.

6. Wait and watch the magic happen or go do some other stuff :)

7. Upon decision to remove the terraform managed resources created just now, run:

terraform destroy -var 'aws_access_key=access_key_here' -var 'aws_secret_key=secret_key_here' -var 'aws_private_key_path=path_to_private_key_here' -var 'aws_key_name=key_pair_name_here' -var 'vault_pass=vault_pass' --auto-approve

Once Terraform finished running, you should expect this output:

Apply complete! Resources: 25 added, 0 changed, 0 destroyed.
