vagrant-iam-castest-poc

Vagrant-powered environment for deploying a CAS test application using Apache and Tomcat.

General notes

For the local install, we are using a box (image) from Puppet Labs. For the remote install, we are using the most recent Amazon Linux AMI.

Puppet modules are pulled in using r10k on the VM.

Getting started

1. Install VirtualBox
2. Install Vagrant
3. Clone this repository to a local directory

Running locally with VirtualBox

1. From within this directory, run: vagrant up --provider virtualbox

Running a remote instance on EC2

1. Install the Vagrant AWS plugin: vagrant plugin install vagrant-aws
2. Import the Vagrant box we are using: vagrant box add amazon-linux-x64-13.09 https://github.com/huit/huit-vagrant-boxes/blob/master/aws/amazon-linux-2013.09.box?raw=true`
3. If you have not setup an EC2 keypair, do so now.
4. If you have deleted the default EC2 security group "basic-web", re-create it or customize this option in step 4.
5. Create a Vagrant configuration file in your home directory to contain your AWS credentials: ~/.vagrant.d/Vagrantfile It should resemble this, and may be expanded with additional options:

    Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
      config.vm.provider :aws do |aws, override|
        aws.access_key_id = "YOUR_AWS_ACCESS_KEY"
        aws.secret_access_key = "YOUR_AWS_SECRET_KEY"
        aws.keypair_name = "CHOOSE_AN_EXISTING_KEYPAIR"

        override.ssh.private_key_path = "PATH_TO_PRIVATE_KEY"
      end
    end

5. Run: vagrant up --provider=aws
