Ansible playbook to deploy VM on scaleway IaaS

Create a VM on Scaleway

Prerequisites for Scaleway VM

Create an account in Scaleway
Generate an SSH key pair (called admin.key and admin.pub)
Install prerequisites system packages

sudo apt-get install python3 python3-dev python3-pip build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev jq

Install Python packages on the local machine

pip3 install jinja2 PyYAML paramiko cryptography packaging

Install Ansible (ideally from sources, as it evolves really fast)

If you don't want to install it from sources, you can use the PPA (see Ansible documentation)

sudo apt update
sudo apt install software-properties-common
sudo apt-add-repository --yes --update ppa:ansible/ansible
sudo apt install ansible

Scaleway token

Create a token in Scaleway to authenticate Ansible access to the Scaleway API. In this repo, an empty environment file has been create with the name scaleway_token. Add you token in it and should look like this:

export SCW_API_KEY='aaaaaaaa-aaaa-aaaa-aaaa-aaaaaaaaaaaa'

Source the file

source scaleway_token

Create a VM

Use scaleway_create_vm.yaml to:

get organisation id of the Scaleway account
find a compatible Ubuntu image for the VM
add the admin SSH key if necessary
create the VM itself

ansible-playbook scaleway_create_vm.yml

If everything works, you should have a new VM in about 2 minutes in your Scaleway console.

Try to initiate a connection to this VM (don't forget to add your SSH key in agent or as an argument in ssh call)

ssh root@IP_found_in_console
[...]

Install python and sudo on Scaleway instance

One issue that comes with Scaleway clean images is that they don't have neither sudo nor python, which will prevent us from using ansible. You can either install them manually, or use the following command to install them from your local machine:

ansible-playbook -i dynamic_inventory.yml -u root scaleway_install_prerequisites.yml
