Deploy a dev cluster on AWS

Deploy a dev cluster on AWS

The deployment a dev version of AMP on AWS by default uses the :latest images from Docker Hub.

This is not satisfying when making changes that impact cloud deployments, before pushing them as latest tag, one wants to test it first. A better way is to use another tag that nobody else plans to use.

Below $USER is the username of the developer, or any other unique ID. $VERSION is the dev version, for instance 0.18.0-dev.

Build images

ampmake build
make VERSION=$USER clean-ampagent build-ampagent
docker push appcelerator/ampagent:$USER
for img in amplifier gateway agent ampbeat amp-prometheus; do
  docker tag appcelerator/${img):$VERSION appcelerator/${img}:$USER
  docker push appcelerator/${img}:$USER
done

Deploy a cluster

Short circuit the CLI and deploy the Cloudformation template directly.

Go the AWS console, Cloudformation page, and create a new stack. Upload the template from examples/cluster/aws-swarm-asg.yml.

Change the value of AMP Version to $USER.

Clean up

Once the tests are done, delete the Cloudformation stack, and delete the tagged images on Docker hub.
