Using Terraform to Deploy GridGain in AWS
You can provision GridGain cluster using Terraform.
Overview
To help you launch GridGain in AWS we provide:
Usage Example
Terraform module is designed to create sufficient infrastructure to run GridGain cluster using the AMI. It will provision VPC and networking, S3 and KMS for encrypted snapshots and cluster nodes themselves as EC2 instances. You can check deployment diagrams below or examples in Terraform module repository.
The following steps describe how you can use Terraform module to deploy a private GridGain cluster:
-
Make sure you have Terraform installed and configured to use your AWS credentials;
-
Get the GridGain AMI ID;
-
Open the
examples/without_sslsubfolder; -
Set AMI ID and your SSH public key (for accessing the instance) in the
main.tffile; -
Run the
terraform initcommand. It will download the AWS provider and prepare your environment; -
Run the
terraform applycommand. It will present you the plan of changes. Upon your approval, Terraform will create infrastructure in AWS;
When you no longer need the cluster, run the terraform destroy command.
You can see the complete list of variables available for the module on Terraform Registry page.
