Intro

This git repository contains examples of how to create infrastructure as code on the Fujitsu K5 Cloud.

Basically, in my day job I help people with Intrafructure as Code, automation and other such things. I wrote these modules to help people access K5 more readily. Plus it's a bit of fun. ;)

Cloning

When you clone make sure you use the --recursive parameter to pull the sub-module down as well.

eg. git clone --recursive https://github.com/mohclips/k5-ansible-infra.git my_project_copy

There is a great blog on submodules here https://github.com/blog/2104-working-with-submodules

Usage

You will notice that the submodule k5-ansible-modules is included. This is the actual modules written in python to communicate with the K5 API.

When you clone, make sure you pull down the sub-module as well. (as above) Run git submodule update --init --recursive if it is empty.

You can then do either of the following;

• create a symbolic-link ln -s k5-ansible-modules/library/ library
• update your ANSIBLE_LIBRARY environment variable. see http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/dev_guide/developing_modules.html#module-paths
• update the library= parameter in your ansible.cfg (this is colon delimited). My favorite.

If I can find a better way of doing this, I will. But at present this is the best way to keep the two apart, to allow others to just grab the modules.

Then:

Update vars/all.yml with your infrastructure settings.

And run the playbook provision_infra.yml

Jump Server

There is a jumpserver created, simple Ubuntu 14.04, at the end of provision_infras.yml This then pulls in another git repo of mine ansible-guacamole to create a HTML5 based terminal server. See that git repo for more.

If you wanted to rebuild the jumpserver. Then this would be a good start ansible-playbook ./provision_infra.yml --tags=t_jumpsvr. It will then delete the jumpserver and re-create it, including the guacamole service.
