go-redis-reader

An application that reads messages from a redis channel

Deploy with Terraform

To deploy the go-redis-reader app in Amazon Web Services you can use the terraform template stored at terraform/, to configure it create a file named terraform/terraform.tfvars with the following variables:

aws_profile        = "default"
aws_region         = "us-east-2"
aws_key_pair_file  = "~/.ssh/YOUR-KEY.pem"
aws_key_pair_name  = "YOUR-KEY-NAME"
tag_name           = "YOUR FULL NAME"
tag_contact        = "your@email.address"

# This is the Lacework Agent URL
lacework_agent_url = "https://YOUR_ACCOUNT.lacework.net/download/abc124/install.sh"

Then, run terraform init and terraform apply, if everything runs as expected you should see an output similar to:

$ terraform apply

 <...>

aws_instance.ubuntu1804[0]: Creation complete after 1m19s [id=i-abcde5345f3a12345]

Apply complete! Resources: 12 added, 0 changed, 0 destroyed.

Outputs:

ubuntu_public_ip = [
  "18.123.123.123",
]

Finally, install the redis-cli on your computer and publish messages to mychannel queue:

# For Mac users, use homebrew
$ brew install redis

$ redis-cli -h 18.123.123.123 PUBLISH mychannel 'hello from my computer!'

To verify that the go-redis-reader application is working properly, you can log in to the VM and cat the supervisor logs located at /var/log/sup.log:

# Use your SSH key and login to the machine
ubuntu@ubuntu1804-lacework:~$ cat /var/log/sup.log

 <...>

go-redis-reader.default(O): Received message from channel 'mychannel'. message:'hello from my computer!'
