This repo contains a template to deploy a Chef Automate environment into AWS.
There are a number of required parameters when deploying the template:
| Name | Description | Default | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| Prefix | Prefix that will be assigned to all machines in the AWS console | my-company | mw |
| automateLicense | License to be used in the Automate server | ||
| userName | Username for all Chef components | chef | mikew |
| userFullname | Full name for the user | Mike Wasowski | |
| userPassword | Password to be associated with the user | Ch4ng3mE | |
| userEmailaddress | Email address for the user | mikew@monsters.inc | |
| chefOrg | Organisation to create on the chef server. Must be one word. | monsters | |
| chefOrgDescription | Description of the organisation | Monsters Incorporated | |
| KeyName | Key pair to use for SSH access to the machines |
In order to satisfy the length requirements for AWS the automateLicense must be passed in a different way. The easiest way to do this is to add it to S3 or something similar (such as a public website) so that it can be downloaded by the system.
NOTE: There are implications with this approach and the license should be removed from the S3 bucket (or wherever it was stored) after the completion of the Automate environment.
