A starter kit for building a docker deployment in AWS

• Terraform for creating the cloud
• Ansible for privisioning Docker and Jenkins
• SBT for building a collection of Docker images
• Ammonite Scripts for configuration and management

This stuff is unixish. So you need Mac or Linux. It may work on Windows bash, but no promises.

Get an AWS account, get Access and Secret keys and place in ~/.aws/credentials.

Something like:

[default]
aws_access_key_id = XXXXXXX
aws_secret_access_key = YYYYYYYY

Hint: go in the IAM Management Console, create an user and then in the Security Credentials, create an access key.

Then generate an ssh key in ~/.ssh/id_rsa if you don't have it. Hint: use ssh-keygen.

Start installing sbt then

cd scripts
sbt

The readme provides informations about the avalable scripts. Docker images also have an individual README describing how to use them.
