After we’ve reviewed CloudFormation template for EC2 let’s go on with MS SQL with Multi-AZ presence.
Database will be accessible only from default VPC with no Internet wide access.
Category Archives: AWS
CloudFormation: Windows based instance with few disks
In this example I want to show you how easily AWS resources can be created with CloudFormation templates.
So let’s take a look at template itself:
CD with AWS Elastic Beanstalk: Completion
We’ve completed infrastructure setup using “infrastructure as code” principles.
As we used real cloud power we’ve achieved awesome availability, scaling and security.
We’ve saved a lot of time because we haven’t setup linux, nginx, zabbix, chef, etc.
Instead of this we were focused on application, testing, scaling, continuous delivery – stuff that makes business healthy and happy.
We’ve saved a lot of pretty expensive DevOps hours and haven’t spent too much money because AWS EB, ELB, Scaling, etc are free to use!
We’ll pay only for EC2, EBS and CloudWatch.
And because of scaling we’ll pay only for what we’ll use.
CD with AWS Elastic Beanstalk: EBS custom configuration
CD with AWS Elastic Beanstalk: Automation
According to the requirements, we need to build and deploy a new code automatically for dev & stg.
But Prod will be deployed manually after tests performing on dev & stg.
CD with AWS Elastic Beanstalk: Code principles and tips
There’re some general ideas in all scripts, so let’s overview ’em:
CD with AWS Elastic Beanstalk: Storing & transferring credentials
From build machine we’ll use AWS, BitBucket and DockerHub and I want to automate auth process.
CD with AWS Elastic Beanstalk: Build machine install
Now it’s time to setup build machine.
I’ll use Ubuntu instead of Amazon Linux because of problems with AWS CLI installing.
Hope it will be fixed soon, but Ubuntu is quiet good for us too.
CD with AWS Elastic Beanstalk: CD pipelines
It might be a bit different from “classic” definition, but let’s call build & deploy logical steps “pipelines”.
Every logical step is put in separate function to make things simple & clear.
I’ll list and describe logical steps (functions sequence) for all actions for you:
CD with AWS Elastic Beanstalk: Sample meteor app
In this part I’ll create quite simple app and this is “developer” piece of work.
We need to install node, npm & meteor on work machine:
brew install nodejs curl https://install.meteor.com/ | sh
