Set up Spinnaker in AWS with terraform

Terraform for Spinnaker

This terraform project sets up Spinnaker in an AWS account, defaulting to eu-west-1 region. This and other settings are defined as vars and so can be overridden.

Modifying / creating a new instance

Use the standard terraform flow and make sure your AWS key is made available, e.g.

$ export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<access_key_id>
$ export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<secret_access_key>

You will probably want to override the ssh key name and AWS region to use:

$ terraform plan \
	-var 'key_name=your_ssh_key_name' \
	-var 'aws_region=us-east-1'

Connecting to an existing setup

Once running you have to use SSH tunneling to connect to the spinnaker instance.

Use the terraform outputs to get the details you need :

$ terraform output
spinnaker_key_name = spinnaker-testing
spinnaker_public_dns = ec2-xx-xx-xx-xx.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com
spinnaker_public_ip = xx.xx.xx.xx

Edit your ~/.ssh/config with the settings from above :

Host spinnaker
    HostName ec2-xx-xx-xx-xx.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com
    IdentitiesOnly yes
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/spinnaker-testing.pem
    LocalForward 9000 127.0.0.1:9000
    LocalForward 8084 127.0.0.1:8084
    LocalForward 8087 127.0.0.1:8087
    User ubuntu

And then do

$ ssh -f -N spinnaker

Open http://localhost:9000/ in your web browser
