Description

HEAT template for setting up a private instance of WebPageTest on a single Windows Server

Requirements

• A Heat provider that supports the following:
  • OS::Heat::RandomString
  • Rackspace::Cloud::WinServer
• An OpenStack username, password, and tenant id.
• python-heatclient >= v0.2.8:

pip install python-heatclient

We recommend installing the client within a Python virtual environment.

Parameters

Parameters can be replaced with your own values when standing up a stack. Use the -P flag to specify a custom parameter.

• server_hostname: Windows Server Name (Default: webpagetest)
• domain: Domain to be used with WebPageTest (Default: example.com)
• image: Required: Server image used for all servers that are created as a part of this deployment. (Default: Windows Server 2012 R2)
• flavor: Cloud Server size to use for the database server. Sizes refer to the amount of RAM allocated to the server. (Default: 4 GB Performance)
• wpt_username: WPT Username for the site. A password will be randomly generated for this account. This can not be the same as the Server Name. (Default: wptuser)

Outputs

Once a stack comes online, use heat output-list to see all available outputs. Use heat output-show <OUTPUT NAME> to get the value of a specific output.

• site_wpt_password: WPT Password
• server_ip: Server IP
• site_domain: Web Page Test Domain name
• admin_password: Administrator Password
• site_wpt_user: WPT User

For multi-line values, the response will come in an escaped form. To get rid of the escapes, use echo -e '<STRING>' > file.txt. For vim users, a substitution can be done within a file using %s/\\n/\r/g.
