AerisCloud

Getting Started | Full Documentation | Releases | Issues

AerisCloud is a tool that gives application developers development environments that are identical to the production servers, and gives system administrators a way to organize their infrastructure as it is growing in size.

Installation

Read the instructions in the Getting Started page from the documentation.

Usage

Please note, that to make the following commands to work, you need to set up an organization as described in the Organization documentation page.

For developers:

# Create a new project
aeris init foo

# Start VMs
aeris up

# Stop VMs
aeris halt

Read the full documentation in the Getting Started page from the documentation.

For server operators:

# Provision production servers for projectA
cloud provision my-org/production my-org/projectA

# Execute a job
cloud job my-org/role-name/job-name my-org/projectA --limit="group-name" \
                                                    --extra-vars="aws_access_key=xxx" \
                                                    --extra-vars="aws_secret_key=xxx"

Why should I use AerisCloud?

• As a developer, you will have an easy method to define the environment in which your application will run in, and other developers will be able to easily replicate the same environment.
• As a server operator, it will help you to organize your inventories and playbooks in one place. The CLI will be easier to understand as you will only have to provide the names of the playbook and inventory to use, instead of whole paths, options and arguments of ansible-playbook.
• The ansible playbooks are shared among development and production environments.

ansible-disk's Issues

Maybe use `parted` for partitioning?

parted --script /dev/sdb \
    mklabel gpt \ mkpart primary 1MiB 100%

Creating multiple disks?

If I want to use the module against multiple disks, how do I do that?

In my group_vars, I've got:

disk_additional_disks:
- disk: /dev/xvdf
  fstype: ext4
  opts: "-m 1"
  mount_options: defaults
  mount: /mnt/tmp
- disk: /dev/xvdg
  fstype: ext4
  opts: "-m 1"
  mount_options: defaults
  mount: /mnt/tmp2

But it's only executing against /dev/xvdf

disk_user and disk_group are not applied correctly

The task "Ensure the mount directory exists" should take disk_user and disk_group from item. Right now, it's always defaulting to root:

- name: "Ensure the mount directory exists"
  file:
    path: '{{ item.mount }}'
    owner: '{{ item.disk_user | default("root") }}'   #here
    group: '{{ item.disk_group | default("root") }}' #here
    state: directory
  with_items: '{{ disk_additional_disks }}'
  tags: ['disk']

No longer works with Azure

_nvme_ioctl IOError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument when attempting to attach Azure disk.

Version @ e303c7f works fine, version @ c0ac697 (current master) fails.

Use `filesystem` module?
