EC2 Setup

###EC2 Deployment

Add your EC2 credentials to your .bash_profile(or .bashrc). This should look something like the following: export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=[KEY_ID] export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=[SECRET_ACCESS_KEY]

Then call the launch instances script:

./launch_instances ami-98e515f1 --key ec2_keypair_name -f ~/userdata.json  --tags Name Mockups -w

In this call ami-98e515f1 is a 32-bit amazon image with chef installed on it. The file userdata.json contains the following json:

    {"validation_key": "Your organizations chef validation ssh private key"}

The tag Name will allow elastifox to see the name of Mockups on for your box.

After creating the box, the script should spit out a domain name. Ssh into the box and add your personal public key to the authorized_hosts file in both /root/.ssh/ and ~/.ssh/. This will allow you to login without having to use the box's pem.

On the ec2 box run: chef-client #as root

This will set the current box up as a node for your opscode organization. Once that is done:

• Log into manage.opscode.com
• Go to Roles -> Create
• The Vagrantfile in your local project directory will contain all of the recipes needed for you to create a role.
• Now you're going to need to edit [site_dir]/site-cookbooks/mockups/templates/default/authorized_keys and add the public keys of whoever will be deploying the app.
• Upload the mockups recipe to your organization.
• Add those recipes to the role you are creating.
• Add that role to the node that was just added.
• Back on your ec2 box run: chef-client #again. This will install all of the server applications necessary.

####Deploy the Application

You will need to edit the servers.yml file.

cd [site_root]
cp config/servers.yml.default config/servers.yml
#edit the servers.yml file to contain your staging server
#you can also deploy to a dev box, but typically you'll want to just go on to that box and clone the repo instead

Then call the deploy script:

cap staging deploy:check_dependencies #will check to see if you have what you need
cap staging deploy:setup && cap deploy #will set up and start up your application on the box you just set up
