Bringing up a test cluster in Safespring (IPnett)

In the terraform/deployments/safespring directory, make a local.tfvars based on the example, check your setup with terraform plan --var-file=local.tfvars, then bring up the bare machines with terraform apply --var-file=local.tfvars. The job prints out an ansible inventory at the end.

One can also use the ./run_dev.sh safespring command from the top level directory to do everything.

Bringing up a test cluster in uh-iaas

Prerequisites

• A personal project at uh-iaas, see: http://docs.uh-iaas.no/en/latest/login.html#first-time-login (After you have created your personal project, you can for access to the shared project)
• The API-password for uh-iaas. You can test it with: http://docs.uh-iaas.no/en/latest/api.html
• Terraform: https://www.terraform.io/
• Access to the project

local.tfvars

In the terraform/deployments/uh-iaas directory, make a local.tfvars based on the example.

Download modules

With terraform get, the necessary modules are downloaded to a subfolder .terraform of the working directory. We have used terraform/deployments/uh-iaas as a working directory.

Test and run

Check your setup with terraform plan --var-file=local.tfvars, then bring up the bare machines with terraform apply --var-file=local.tfvars. The job prints out an ansible inventory at the end.

The run_dev.sh script (under development) will in addition create securitygroups and apply the ansible setup.

Debugging / verbose output

For debugging, use the environment variables TF_LOG=DEBUG and OS_DEBUG:

TF_LOG=DEBUG OS_DEBUG=1 terraform apply --var-file=local.tfvars
