Meeting Includes…
BLUG/LFNW & Linux News, Q&A, and a presentation by John Blanford on The Terraform Cloud Provisioning Tool.
John’s Presentation:
I will be talking about a project that I have been working on using open source tools to work with the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud. I am using Terraform (https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform) to provision resources at AWS and the combination of Ansible (https://github.com/ansible/ansible) and Packer (https://github.com/hashicorp/packer) to create custom bootable images.
At the meeting I will give a quick introduction to Terraform and then show how I have used it to implement a reference architecture from AWS. This includes a VPC, auto scaling servers, a load balancer, managed database and a shared nfs based file system.
At a future meeting, I will talk about using Ansible and Packer.
