Inframate

Description:

This is a demo project orchestrating resources over IaaS platforms GCP and AWS.

High-level perspective

• Orchestrated by custom CLI application -- 'Inframate' (implemented in Python and Shell)
• Employs Packer for template image creation:
  • CentOS 7
  • CPU 1vCore
  • RAM 0.5GB
  • Disk 10GB
• Employs Ansible for template image creation provisioning:
  • Installs and configure NGINX
  • Installs and configure NTP
  • Installs and configure ...
• Employs Terraform for infrastructure
  • Creates VPC and subnet
  • Creates bunch of firewall rules for internal and external communication
  • Creates Instance Template based on above generated image
  • Creates Target Pool
  • Creates Instance Group Manager
  • Creates Autoscaler and attach it to above Group Manager

Present functionality

Inframate

• Shell version capabilities: Built to employ wide range of shell scripting capabilities: functions, logging, signal handlers, error tracing etc.

  
  ./inframate-bash.sh -h

Usage: ./inframate.sh [-h help] [-v verbose] [-y auto-approve]

* Python version capabilities:  
_Built as a grown CLI application with abstract data tier, logging facility etc. 
It operates from virtual environment to be easily Dockerized_.
```text
./inframate.py --help
Usage:
    inframate.py [-h] [-y] [-v | -q ] [-m <all> | <packer> | <terraform> ] [ -a <plan> | <apply> | <destroy> | <build> | <rollback> ]
    inframate.py [ -m <all> ]
    inframate.py [ -m <packer> | <terraform> ]
    inframate.py [ -m <packer> ] [ -a <build> | <rollback> ]
    inframate.py [ -m <terraform> ] [ -a <plan> | <apply> | <destroy> ]

Packer
Extendable and well-structured Packer project with verity of builders, provisioners and templates in mind...

Terraform
Extendable and well-structured Terraform project with verity of providers, infrastructure levels and templates in mind...

Ansible
Extendable and well-structured Ansible project with verity of inventories, roles, modules and playbooks in mind...

Roadmap

Functional

• Implement flows for AWS provider
• Dockerize Inframate
• Build CI/CD pipes with GCP and Jenkins X
• Migrate to micro-service design: API server, CLI client, web client

Project

• Add unit-tests
• Add tox
