vcenter-3-tier-terraform's Introduction

vCenter 3 tier terraform example

Scope

This is an example of a three tier application stack using terraform and ansible. This has been tested on Debian 10, and only Debian 10.

nginx frontend
tomcat application layer
postgres database

Usage

First, fill out the terraform.tfvars file with your settings:

vsphere_user = "[email protected]"
vsphere_password = "PASSWORD_HERE"
vsphere_server = "IP_ADDY_HERE"
vsphere_datacenter = "datacenter"
vsphere_datastore = "vsanDatastore" # or wherever
vsphere_resource_pool = "cluster1/" # if you have a cluster
vsphere_network = "NETWORK"
vsphere_virtual_machine_template = "AWESOME_TEMPLATE"
vsphere_virtual_machine_name_web = "NAME_WEB_SERVER"
vsphere_virtual_machine_name_app = "NAME_APP_SERVER"
vsphere_virtual_machine_name_database = "NAME_DATABASE_SERVER
ansible_user = "YOUR_ANSIBLE_USER"
ansible_ssh = "YOUR_ANSIBLE_SSH_PASSWORD"
ansible_sudo = "YOUR_SUDO_PASSWORD"

Next, run the following command to pull down the vcenter provider:

terraform init

If everything is good you can run:

terraform apply

And the three tier app, nginx, tomcat and postgres will be created. You will get an output of the three machines with the IPs of each.

If you want to destroy everything go a head and run:

terraform destroy
