Ansible: AWS EC2 cluster with simple LAMP application

This set of roles and playbooks provisions AWS VPC and EC2 related resources to run a simple LAMP application with default configuration.

Characteristics of the infrastructure raised with this:

• 1 VPC
• 2 AZs, with 1 public Subnet each
• 1 Application Load balancer
• 1 Auto Scaling Group with 2 EC2 instances
• LAMP stack will be installed at instance creation, via userdata

Requirements

• An AWS account
• SSH key created, present in AWS and its name defined in the group_vars/prd.yml var file
• Domain registered, hosted zone created in Route53 and related variables defined in the group_vars/prd.yml

Usage

First the VPC needs to be created:

ansible-playbook provision-vpc.yml

Then we can create the EC2 cluster with the LAMP application:

ansible-playbook provision-ec2.yml
