vPloy

Current State: Under active development (but usable)

vPloy is an application that combine some of the most famous Infrastructure As Code tools in order to deploy a full infrastructure on a VMware vSphere system.

vPloy is currently using the following tools:

• Ansible
• AWX
• Packer
• Packer vSphere
• Terraform

It will automatically :

• Bootstrap your vSphere
• Create a Debian and Ubuntu Template
• Deploy a Management Gateway
• Deploy a Bastion
• Deploy an AWX server
• And More ....

Objectives

The goal of vPloy is to help the deployment of an Infrastructure as Code on a VMware vSphere Infrastructure.

vPloy has been develop to be easily customizable and make that new infrastructure easy to be maintained, scale, ...

Configuration

All the configuration files are in config. For each infrastructure you wish to deploy you will have to create a new directory in infra.

Because there are always exceptions, you will have to customize:

• terraform/infra/management/main.tf: Put your replace datastore_{X} by the name of your datastores

Getting Started

You can launch the deployment of the infrastructure using the following command:

ansible-playbook deploy.yml --ask-vault

If you wish to delete the infrastructure you can launch: (it will delete everything !!!)

ansible-playbook destroy.yml --ask-vault

Playbooks have been constructed with a few tags to help deployment.

Customization

You can easily extend / create a new "infrastructure" by : - Create a configuration directory into config/infra/. - Contruct your terraform deployment in terraform/infra/ - Create the ansible tasks in playbooks/infra/.yml - Create then ansible destroy tasks in playbooks/destroy/infra/.yml

You can take a look at the infra-example files.
