Continuous Delivery Usage

You can also use vagrant-php-template as a Continuous Delivery tool. We found three stages on our deployment pipeline and mapped on the template using Vagrant and Ansible for dev environment and stage & production just Ansible. You can provision Debian or RedHat staging/production env, on next release you can also setup a RedHat development environment

A possible workflow is:

1. provision your dev environment using Vagrant
2. when you had tested and completed your feature inside your dev environment you can start provision a stage environment and push on it

Following the Jez Humble Continuous Delivery book, we also thought is a good idea to not distinguish a staging or production environment. A staging environment is a production like environment.

When you have tested your feature, you are ready to push on staging env, to this follow these instructions:

1. please edit hosts.ini for stage and prod env( for i.e)

    [production]
    192.168.1.1
    [staging]
    192.168.1.2
   

2. please edit host_vars/staging.yml and host_vars/production.yml and set variables like a common dev usage

3. to provision with Ansible:

   Please note that you have to be able to connect to the remote machines http://www.erikaheidi.com/blog/configuring-ssh-server-access-for-ansible

   • launch on staging

      ansible-playbook  -i vagrant/provisioning/hosts.ini  --extra-vars "target=staging target_user=<your remote user> target_vars=host_vars/staging.yml" -vv
     

   • launch on production

      ansible-playbook  -i vagrant/provisioning/hosts.ini -vagrant/provisioning/playbooks.yml --extra-vars "target=production target_user=<your remote user> target_vars=host_vars/production.yml" -vv
