This repo contains the local environment used to build the CI process for devops-test

General notes

• It is a Vagrant machine provisioned with Ansible
• It's purpose is to interact with GCP and TravisCI (to test scripts, encrypt files for travis, etc)
• It is somewhat specific to my local environment (it syncs a directory from my host file system: see the Vagrantfile at the end)

Requirements

• A GCP project needs to be created before bringing the machine up
• A service account needs to be created
• A key needs to be created for the service account

Usage

• Edit Vagrantfile and change the value of the GCP_PROJECT_NAME variable to the name of your project
• Place the service account key in secrets/gcp_project_key.json
  • .gitignore has an entry to prevent this directory accidentally be committed
  • this guide shows how to create a key
• Change or remove the synced folder
• Then vagrant up
• For GKE, run gcloud container clusters get-credentials ${cluster_name} --zone=${zone} to tell kubectl against which cluster to run against

Other notes

• I used this machine to create the GCP environment setup scripts (under the travis/ directory)
• I also used it to encrypt the project key needed by Travis
• After I started to build on Travis I stopped updating the scripts because all the work was done on the app repo
• Also I delete environments from here (I don't have a solution for env cleanup yet)
