Fastly Configure

A utility to configure the Fastly CDN from version-controllable VCL and YAML files, using Fastly's API.

Prerequisites

To run Fastly Configure, you'll need:

• Ruby 2.1.8 or later
• Bundler 1.5.3 or later
• a Fastly account

The ability to upload custom VCL is not turned on for accounts by default. To enable it, contact Fastly's support team.

Usage

Installing

This script makes use of a few third-party Gems. Before running this script, you'll need to install the Gems listed in the Gemfile. The easiest way to do this is with Bundler:

bundle install

Authentication

You need to set two environment variables to help this script connect to the Fastly API:

• FASTLY_USER
• FASTLY_PASS

Due to API restrictions, you can't currently use an account that has two-factor authentication enabled with this script.

Service configuration

Service configuration is passed in to the script using a YAML file, which must live at fastly.yaml. You can find an example in fastly.yaml in this repository. Additional configuration parameters can also be set in this file to enable the use of ERB look-ups in the VCL.

VCL

Your VCL script should be stored as an ERB template in /vcl_templates. The VCL file should be named the same as the configuration.
