Deployment tool for managing infrastructure and services on AWS for multiple accounts/stages.

yolo

Manage infrastructure and services on AWS for multiple accounts/stages.

(Or, "yolo everything into prod.")

Terminology

• Project: a collection of services, the code repository represents a project.
• Service: typically a microservice, could be an API Gateway/Lambda powered API, or a CloudFront-based web UI. A project may contain multiple services.
• Account: an AWS account, in some contexts it also means a baseline [infrastructure].
• Stage: an instance of the project deployed to an account. There may be multiple stages within an account. Examples of stages are "dev", "test", "QA", "production", etc.

Docker build container for Lambda Functions

The Dockerfile contained in this repo is published to https://hub.docker.com/r/larsbutler/yolo/. It is built directly from GitHub, so if this file is updated the patch needs to merged downstream into the master branch of https://github.com/larsbutler/yolo.

Workflow

0. Authenticate with "Fanatical Support for AWS" (using Rackspace Cloud credentials), so that AWS account credentials can be fetched when needed, without having to re-authenticate:

yolo login

1. Create a Yolo file, you can find an example in the code repository.
2. Define AWS account-level resources using a CloudFormation template.
3. Deploy the baseline infrastructure:

yolo deploy-infra --account testaccount

4. Define stage-level resources using a different CloudFormation template. There can be multiple stages within a single account (they will be deployed as separate CloudFormation stacks), and a stage represents an instance of your project (collection of services).
5. Deploy the stage-level infrastructure:

yolo deploy-infra --stage dev

6. Depending on the type of application you're developing, you can finally build and/or deploy it:

yolo build-lambda --stage dev
yolo deploy-lambda --stage dev
