demokit

demokit quickly and easily creates fully configured demo environments in the cloud (AWS today). It will create a VPC, launch instances, configure security groups, install software, configure settings and populate with demo data. You can also easily shut down instances and restart them to minimize costs.

demokit is built on Ansible and the current demo focus is Docker Enterprise Edition.

Requirements

demokit is a container-based tool and doesn't require installation. You will need:

1. Docker
2. AWS credentials (IAM user with access key and permissions for EC2, VPC and Route53)
3. Hosted Zone in Route53

Setup

docker run demokit/demokit

demokit will ask for:

1. AWS access key ID
2. AWS secret access key
3. AWS region
4. Domain name (for your Hosted Zone)

Usage

Before running any demos, you will need to configure your AWS environment:

demokit aws config

The command above will create a AWS keypair, VPC and Let's Encrypt certificates.

To launch a Docker EE demo environment:

demokit ee install

To launch a SSH into an instance:

demokit ssh ucp1

To remove the demo instances:

demokit ee terminate

You can shutdown the instances to reduce costs

demokit ee stop

And start them back up quickly:

demokit ee start

If you want to add Windows nodes:

demokit ee windows

Customize

In your demokit settings directory, ~/demokit/settings, you can edit the YAML config files to customize the demo to your needs.
