This started out as an example on how to use the three software packages and a cloud provider in a tutorial:
-
HashiCorp’s Terraform - spin up new servers and orchestrate resources in the cloud from a simple text file.
-
SaltStack’s Salt - install and manage software on a server. With it’s cloud add-on it can also spin up new servers in the cloud.
-
HashiCorp’s Consul - service discovery and monitoring in the cloud.
-
DigitalOcean - a cloud provider. Use their API to spin up virtual servers as needed.
This setup will show you a setup where a ngix load balancer distributes the load between multiple web servers.
There is a full tutorial available online.
The sources for this tutorial are in the tutorial sub folder of this project.
For experienced users there is a minimal set of instructions in cheatsheet.adoc.
