Groovy DevOps in the Cloud

This project provides an example setup that shows features of Sshoogr (https://github.com/aestasit/sshoogr), Gramazon (https://github.com/aestasit/gramazon) and PuppetUnit (https://github.com/aestasit/puppet-unit). Those tools were presented during "Groovy DevOps in the Cloud" talk at Java Day Riga, 2013 by Luciano Fiandesio and Andrey Adamovich.

Usage

This setup provides a Gradle script (build.gradle) that glues together all bits and pieces:

• startInstance task starts new machine in EC2
• uploadModules task uploads Puppet modules to the newly created machine
• test task runs JUnit integration tests against the newly created machine
• terminateInstance task terminates the machine

Before you can take advantage of this setup, you will need to at least:

• Create AWS account
• Create access and secret keys to call EC2 API
• Set access and secret keys inside gradle.properties
• Create new key pair called cloud-do in eu-west-1 region (or change the name of the key or the region in the build.gradle file to match any of the existing keys)
• Save newly generated private key in the root directory of the project as cloud-do.pem (or change build.gradle to match your file name or region)
• Create new security group cloud-do (or change the name of the security group in the build.gradle file to match any of the existing security groups)
• Allow inbound connecitons on port 22 for the configured security group
• Change the AMI identifier inside the build.gradle to match your OS image which has Puppet already installed
