Creating infrastructure and running applications using different platforms

InfraForm

Unified interface for infrastructure related operations using dynamic, predefined templates

• Run common operations (aka scenarios) using different tools and platforms like Terraform, Ansible and Docker
• Template scenarios to reuse them in different environments and with different properties - one scenario, many ways to run it
• Execute locally or on remote hosts
• Checks hosts are able to run the scenario and if not, modify the hosts accordingly

Infraform aims to provides users with simple, yet dynamic, way to manage their infra related operations. Hope you'll enjoy using it :)

Requirements

• Linux (Developed and tested on Fedora)
• Python>=3.7

Installation

git clone https://github.com/bregman-arie/infraform
cd infraform
virtualenv ~/ifr_venv && source ~/ifr_venv/bin/activate
pip install .

Usage Examples

Provision OpenStack instance with a floating IP

infraform run --scenario os-1-vm-fip --vars="network_provider=..."

Run Python PEP8 test inside a Podman container:

ifr run --scenario pep8-tests --vars 'project=/my/project'

You can also use more specific approach where you choose exactly what to execute once the container is ready

ifr run --scenario pep8-tests --vars 'project=/my/project execute="git checkout origin/some-branch; tox -e pep8"

Regiser host as a Jenkins node

infraform run --scenario jenkins_node --vars="jenkins_url=https://my.jenkins.com node_name=name-in-jenkins jenkins_user=abregman jenkins_password=my-API-token labels=my-hosts host=my.host.com credsid=xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx"

Run ELK stack + Jenkins + Filebeat. Once running, it will automatically process a Jenkins build log and will also index it

ifr run --scenario elk_filebeat_jenkins

Set up ELK on a remote host

ifr run --scenario elk --host some.host

Scenarios

Scenario is a predefined instructions file or template. It can be anything - creating a VM, run tests, set up ELK, ... you choose (or write your own) Infraform provides you with a couple of built-in scenarios

Name	Platform	Description	Arguments
os-1-vm-fip	Terraform	One OpenStack instance with a floating IP
register-jenkins-node	Shell	Registers host as Jenkins node
pep8-tests	Podman, Docker	Run PEP8 tests in a container	override_image
elk_filebeat_jenkins	Docker Compose	Containerized ELK + Filbeat + Jenkins and process Jenkins build log
