terraform-redis-enterprise-cluster-aws

Build and deploy an AWS Redis Enterprise Cluster, create and join cluster, run memtier benchmark and export json to S3.

• Create VPC
  • subnet, internet gateway, security group, route table
    • Create elastic ips
    • Create 3 EC2 instances from AWS marketplace AMI for Redis Enterprise
      • associate elastic ip public address with EC2s
    • Using existing DNS hostname (hostname id required) create A records and NS records
      • (with the EC2 associated elastic ip addresses)
    • Create EC2 and install memtier_benchmark
      • run Redis Enterprise REST API curl commands to:
        • create cluster
        • join cluster
        • create db
          • run memtier benchmark commands on created redis enterprise db
            • export json to generated S3.

Prerequisites:

Terraform installed and an AWS account.

1. AWS credentials
   • AWS access key and AWS secret key
2. AWS ssh key
3. working DNS hosted zone
   • require the id (you can find it in R53 hosted zones)

Getting started

  git clone https://github.com/bpamos/terraform-redis-enterprise-cluster-aws
  cd terraform-redis-enterprise-cluster-aws
  terraform init

The output should include:

  Terraform has been successfully initialized!

Copy the variables template.

cp terraform.tfvars.example terraform.tfvars

Update terraform.tfvars with your [AWS creds, AWS ssh key, DNS hosted zone id, and other variables]

terraform plan
terraform apply

Go access your Redis Cluster from the FQDN.

• you can find the cluster FQDN and username and password in the outputs.

  RedisEnterpriseClusterFQDN     = "https://redisuser1-tf-us-east-1.redisdemo.com:8443/"
  RedisEnterpriseClusterPassword = "123456"
  RedisEnterpriseClusterUsername = "demo@redislabs.com"

Cleanup

Remove the resources that were created. (BE SURE TO GO AND DELETE THE JSON FILE FROM YOUR S3 BUCKET)
