- Security
The base platform contains control nodes that manage the cluster and any number of resource nodes. Containers automatically register themselves into DNS so that other services can locate them.
Once WAN joining is configured, each cluster can locate services in other data centers via DNS or the Consul API.
The control nodes manage a single datacenter. Each control node runs Consul for service discovery, Mesos leaders for resource scheduling and Mesos frameworks like Marathon.
In general, it's best to provision 3 or 5 control nodes to achieve higher availability of services. The Consul Ansible role will automatically bootstrap and join multiple Consul nodes. The Mesos Ansible role will provision highly-availabile Mesos and ZooKeeper environments when more than one node is provisioned.
Resource nodes launch containers and other Mesos-based workloads.
All development is done on the master branch. Tested, stable versions are identified via git tags.
git clone https://github.com/CiscoCloud/microservices-infrastructure.git
To use a stable version, use git tag to list the stable versions:
git tag
0.1.0
0.2.0
...
0.3.0
git checkout 0.3.0
A Vagrantfile is provided that provisions everything on a single VM. To run, first ensure that your system has 4GB of RAM free, then:
sudo pip install -r requirements.txt
./security-setup
vagrant up
Note:
- There is no support for Windows at this time, however support is planned.
- Vagrant 1.7.3+ is required for best results.
- There is no support for the VMware Fusion Vagrant provider; hence your provider is set to Virtualbox in your Vagrantfile. In order to start running just issue the
vagrant upcommand.
Requirements for running the project are listed in requirements.txt. Of note: Ansible 1.9 or later is required; also Python 2.7 is required. All the software requirements are currently distributed as Python modules, and you can pip install -r requirements.txt to get them all at once.
Please refer to the Getting Started Guide, which covers multi-server and OpenStack deployments.
All documentation is located at https://microservices-infrastructure.readthedocs.org.

If you're interested in contributing to the project, install Terraform and the Python modules listed in requirements.txt and follow the Getting Started instructions. To build the docs, enter the docs directory and run make html. The docs will be output to _build/html.
Good issues to start with are marked with the low hanging fruit tag.
If you encounter any issues, please open a Github Issue against the project. We review issues daily.
We also have a gitter chat room. Drop by and ask any questions you might have. We'd be happy to walk you through your first deployment.
