Introduction In past couple of posts, we have been experimenting with Terraform in combination with ACI (see here) and vSphere (see here) seperately. In this post, we will combine both and we will first create network constructs on Cisco’s ACI solution and once done, we will create two VM instances on vSphere that are actually using the underlying… Read More »
Introduction In this post and this post, we created respectively some EC2 instances on AWS and some network contructs on Cisco’s ACI solution. We will apply the same principle but instead of creating some servers on AWS, we will create some servers on vSphere. Terraform code We will create a main.tf file which contains the entire configuration. It’s… Read More »
Introduction As promised, we’ll configure an ACI network using a CI/CD pipeline. If you understood this post, you’ll easily grasp this one as well. In the end, whether you configure an ACI resource or an ACI resource with Gitlab, the same principles apply. So we’ll run fast over this one. In this blog post, we will be using… Read More »
Introduction In this post, we created some EC2 instances on AWS. In this post, we will apply the same principle but instead of creating some servers on AWS, we will create a network on Cisco’s ACI solution using Terraform’s ACI provider. If you want to learn more on ACI, read this and this. Terraform code We will create… Read More »
Introduction In this post, we will deploy EC2 instances on AWS using a CI/CD pipeline. If you want to follow along, it’s advised you also refer to part 1 and part 2 for getting some background information. Code Below are the files we are going to use. If you went through part 1 and part 2 you’ll surely… Read More »
Introduction In an earlier post, we created one EC2 instance. As explained in that post, the Terraform state file was created in your local folder. That’s great if you are the only person in need of the infrastructure you manage. In reality though, teams are sharing and managing the infrastructure. So we need a way to share the… Read More »
Intoduction In this blogpost, we will create an AWS instance onto EC2 entirely using Terraform. Nothing too complex as such, but better to start with something fairly easy and continue to expand on it. Which is what we will do in next blog posts. Code We will start off with creating a file called ‘provider.tf’. As the filename… Read More »
Introduction This blog post is a follow up of a post we wrote couple of weeks ago where we created 3 EC2 instances on AWS. That blog post can be found here. If you want to follow along with this guide, then use that post to create 3 droplets. Executing the code from that post, will result in three… Read More »
Introduction The post you’re about to read is pretty similar to an earlier post you might have come across. At that time, I was in need for a Kubernetes cluster on DigitalOcean. Today, I need a Kubernetes cluster on AWS for professional reasons. Why not re-use the work we have done before…. Getting Started Ensure you have Terraform… Read More »
Couple of weeks ago, we have created multiple posts where we created some servers on DigitalOcean. One of these posts can be found here. If you want to follow along with this guide, then use that post to create 3 droplets. If all went well, you will see the following screen in DigitalOcean. Using Ansible to install Kubernetes… Read More »
