Demo

Watch how easy it is to boot a three node Consul cluster on Joyent!

Getting started

1. Check out the git repository.
2. Install Node.js.
3. Install Joyent SmartDC CLI utilities and the Node.js json utility: npm install -g smartdc json.
4. Configure the SmartDC environment variables SDC_*.
5. Run the bootstrap script: ./bootstrap.sh.
6. Choose a data center that supports Triton (EU-AMS-1, US-EAST-1, US-SW-1).
7. Choose a package size - smaller is probably better initially.
8. Wait.
9. Enable access to the Consul UI (port 8500) via the firewall rules, setup a VPN or a bastion host.
