AWS-ALLURE REPORTING

This repository holds the sources to create a centralized reporting service in AWS with Allure and Docker using Terraform.

Please look at this repository as a proof of concept only. It is not a production ready solution.

The base of this project is two other projects maintained by Frank Escobar.

• Allure-service: https://github.com/fescobar/allure-docker-service
• Allure-ui: https://github.com/fescobar/allure-docker-service-ui

The Terraform scripts in this repository create an AWS EC2 instance and deploy the Allure-service and Allure-ui on the instance.
The deployment is done by installing Docker and Docker Compose onto the EC2 instance, copying over the docker-compose.yml, and executing it.

After deployment:

• The UI is available on port 80.
• The Service is available on port 5050.
• SSH to the instance is enabled.

Prerequisites

1. Terraform installed.
2. AWS CLI installed.
3. Default AWS profile configured (through environment variables, ex: export AWS_PROFILE=my_aws_user). This profile needs admin priviliges in AWS (EC2 instance creation, security group creation)
4. A key pair created in the AWS console, and saved as allure.pem to the terraform folder.

Setup steps

Execute the following steps in the terraform directory:

1. terraform init, to initialize the project, downloading the necessary cloud provider plugins, in this case AWS.
2. terraform plan, to see what will terraform do using your default AWS account.
3. terraform apply, to deploy the Allure server to an EC2 instance.

Additionally:

• terraform destroy, to clean up everything in AWS, destroy the created resources.
• terraform destroy -target aws_instance.AllureAwsInstance, to destroy only the EC2 instance.

To improve

1. Use custom AMIs instead of provisioners in Terraform.
2. Use AWS SDK/CDK instead of Terraform, and deploy the application into ECS instead of EC2.
