Spring Boot CloudFormation demo

This project demonstrates how to deploy Spring Boot app (generated on http://start.spring.io/) in AWS using:

• Elastic Beanstalk
• VPC
• CloudFormation

Running on AWS

1. Run mvn clean package and upload generated war to S3 bucket (for example using aws-cli)
2. Go to CloudFormation and create a new stack using resources/aws/create_environment.template.
3. Provide stack input parameters: keypair names (must be created manually before) and location of war file (bucket and key).
4. Wait for stack to be ready.
5. Check ApplicationUrl stack output, this is an URL where the app is deployed.

About template

Running mentioned template creates:

• VPC in 3 availability zones, one public and private subnet per AZ.
• HA NAT that allows outbound network traffic from private subnets (based on AWS article).
• Bastion host. It servers as a proxy for ssh connections (instances in private subnets cannot be reached directly from outside of the VPC).
• Demo bucket.
• Backend instance profile allowing backend instances all operations on demo bucket.
• Backend beanstalk environment inside VPC with initial version (.war file passed as input parameter).
