Welcome to the Aurora Project! This repository helps you automate the provisioning and configuration of Azure resources using Terraform, Ansible, and CI/CD.
This project focuses on creating a scalable and resilient cloud infrastructure in Microsoft Azure, featuring:
- Auto-Scaling VMSS: Implements an Azure Virtual Machine Scale Set that automatically scales based on CPU load.
- Azure Load Balancer: Distributes network traffic to VMSS instances, ensuring high availability.
- Storage Solutions: Provisions Azure Storage accounts for VM instances (used for diagnostics).
- Script Automation via VMSS Extensions: Automates initialization script execution across VM instances to run Ansible.
- Ansible Configuration: Uses Ansible for configuration management, installing and configuring Nginx, and customizing
index.html.
To get started with the Aurora Project, follow these steps:
-
Prerequisites: Install Terraform and set up an Azure account. Ansible will be installed on the VMSS instances.
-
Configuration:
- Configure Azure credentials as GitHub Secrets (follow Microsoft instructions, focusing on the "Service Principal Secret" method).
- Customize the Terraform configuration as needed.
- Set up Terraform-specific secrets (
ARM_CLIENT_ID,ARM_CLIENT_SECRET,ARM_SUBSCRIPTION_ID,ARM_TENANT_ID).
-
Deployment: Commit and push your changes to GitHub to trigger the deployment process.
-
Customization: Modify the project to suit your environment and requirements.
