Overview

Three Tier App config whilst originally intended for the deployment of a three tier app is perhaps better described as "5 un-configured RHEL machines all exposed to the internet". It is worth noting, despite its name, that no application is actually deployed. It makes an ideal base infrastructure to build on and can easily be extended via it’s env_vars.yml to less or more machines and also to different operating system images.

Review the Env_Type variable file

The ./env_vars.yml file contains all the variables you need to define to control the deployment of your environment.

This includes the ability to:

  • Change the number of machines deployed

  • Changed the operating system image (e.g. Ansible AMI or similar)

  • Change the tags carried by any instances

  • Change the base packages installed

  • Change/set the ansible_user and remote_user

These can be over-ridden at ansible-playbook runtime via -e options or perhaps more compactly by overriding vars in your own var file and invoking via -e @my_env_vars.yml

For further information on customizing images consult the Creating a Config Guide

Deploying the Three Tier App Config

You can deploy this config by running the following command from the ansible directory. You will have to provide credentials and adjust settings to your own environment.

ansible-playbook -e @configs/three-tier-app/sample_vars.yml main.yml

To Delete an environment

ansible-playbook -e @configs/three-tier-app/sample_vars.yml \
  configs/three-tier-app/destroy_env.yml
