Introduction

Pre-requisites

This tutorial assumes a basic familiarity with Ruby on Rails, the UNIX or OS X command line, and that you have at least deployed an application to a service such as Heroku.

Sample Rails Application

Please download this sample Rails application - this is the application we will configure and deploy.

You will also need an Ubuntu 14.04 Virtual Machine, see the next section for information on how to get one.

Getting a VM

Getting a Local VM

My favorite way to run a local VM is using Vagrant and Virtual Box

Follow the Vagrant setup and installation instructions located here

After you have familiarized yourself with Vagrant following those instructions, create a new directory for this tutorial

mkdir ops_for_developers

The navigate into that directory.

cd ops_for_developers

Once there, create a new Vagrant file - this time for an Ubuntu 14.04 server

vagrant init ubuntu/trusty64

Then start your new virtual server. The first time you run this command it will take a little bit and you will see lots of output.

vagrant up

Once this is complete, ssh into your new virtual server with

vagrant ssh

Getting a Cloud VM

TODO - Add instructions for obtaining and AWS VM, Azure VM, etc.
