Recipe 07

Step 1. Install Terraform if you don't already have it installed.

Step 2. Install Ansible if you don't already have it installed. This command is meant to be ran on your personal computer from any directory.

python -m pip install ansible

Step 3. Start an SSH authentication agent and add your SSH private key to it. The commands below show how you would do this in Linux.

eval "$(ssh-agent -s)" # starts the SSH authentication agent
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa  # adds your SSH private key to the SSH authentication agent

Step 4. Download this GitHub repository and change directories to recipe-07. This command is meant to be ran on your personal computer from any directory.

git clone https://github.com/cyberphor/devops-cookbook
cd devops-cookbook/recipe-07/

Step 5. Deploy a virtual machine in Azure using the commands below and the provided Terraform files. These commands are meant to be ran on your personal computer from the devops-cookbook/recipe-07/ directory.

terraform -chdir=terraform init
terraform -chdir=terraform apply -auto-approve

Step 6. Save the username and IP address values printed by Terraform as environment variables. They will be used in the next step.

export USERNAME=$(terraform -chdir=terraform output -raw username)
export IP_ADDRESS=$(terraform -chdir=terraform output -raw ip_address)

Step 7. Configure the virtual machine you just created using the commands below and the provided Ansible playbook. The playbook references scripts in the ansible/scripts folder. If you want to add or remove scripts, (1) add/remove the script in the ansible/scripts folder and then (2) update the Ansible playbook. This command is meant to be ran on your personal computer from the devops-cookbook/recipe-07/ directory.

ansible-playbook ansible/playbook.yaml -u $USERNAME -i ansible/inventory.yaml --ssh-common-args='-o StrictHostKeyChecking=no'

Step 8. Login to the virtual machine created by Terraform during Step 5 above. This command is meant to be ran on your personal computer from any directory.

ssh $USERNAME@$IP_ADDRESS
