stelligent_mini_project

An automated build of an Apache HTTPD web server on Amazon Linux with a static HTML page, created with AWS resources, and utilizing infrastructure tests with Serverspec.

PREREQUISITES:

  • AWS IAM user with full permissions to CloudFormation and EC2, whose credentials are configured for the AWS CLI
  • AWS KeyPair, named MyKeyPair (for the purposes of infrastructure tests), with the private key stored locally under ~/.ssh/MyKeyPair
  • Serverspec local install

To execute the creation of the webserver resources, use the full local location of the template file:

aws cloudformation create-stack --stack-name <stack_name> --template-body file:////Users//<username>//stelligent_mini_project//webserver_template.json

To validate the template file:

aws cloudformation validate-template --template-body file:////Users//<username>//stelligent_mini_project//webserver_template.json

To verify the server is up and running:

aws cloudformation describe-stacks --stack-name <stack_name>

This will contain the Output of the hostname that can be navigated to in a browser. You can pull this specifically with:

aws cloudformation describe-stacks --stack-name <stack_name> | grep OutputValue

To execute the infrastructure tests (once Cloudformation is complete), navigate to the tests directory and use the hostname (minus the http://) for the below:

HOST=<host_name> rake spec

To delete the stack:

aws cloudformation delete-stack --stack-name <stack_name>
