Single Node SSL/HA for Rancher Server in AWS (existing VPC)

This repo contains Terraform code with supporting scripts and advisories to deploy single node HA Rancher server and Rancher hosts in AWS, with supporting EC2 security groups in place for the following STCL-Tech created custom catalog items:

  • GoCD server and GoCD auto-registered agents
  • Splunk Enterprise Monitor
  • SonarQube.

The deployment is designed for use with STCL-Tech configured services from the SkeltonThatcher Rancher Build Engineering custom catalog

The Terraform plan is designed for use with an existing VPC & subnet infrastructure and is a two stage deployment. It will build out and deploy the following resources.

  • RDS DB subnet group
  • Single-AZ or Multi-AZ RDS MySQL DB instance
  • SSL enabled elastic load balancer + listeners
  • Launch configuration + fixed Multi-AZ auto-scaling group of x1 instance for the Rancher server
  • Launch configuration + fixed Multi-AZ auto-scaling group of a specified EC2 instance amount for the Rancher hosts
  • EC2 IAM policy role for the Rancher server & hosts, granting full access to EC2, S3, EFS, Route 53, SNS & Cloudwatch
  • RancherOS EC2 instance with active Docker running a password protected deployment of Rancher server
  • RancherOS EC2 instances with active Docker as Rancher hosts
  • Route 53 DNS alias record for the ELB

Prerequisites

  • AWS account
  • Existing AWS VPC and subnets (public x2 + private x2)
  • Valid SSL certificate present in the AWS Certificate Manager
  • AWS IAM user account with AWS access/secret keys and permission to create specified resources
  • Cygwin (or similar) installed to enable running of .sh scripts if using Windows
  • Git installed and configured
  • Terraform installed and configured

Usage

  • Create and populate terraform.tfvars
  • Ensure hst min, max & des vars are set to 0
  • Initialise remote state to s3
  • Deploy the terraform plan
  • Once Rancher is up and running, obtain the host reg token (Example - 594CC4842D642112345:1483142412345:jFxX3PZgat2D5HIipLT12345)
  • Update reg_token in terraform.tfvars and set hst min, max and des amounts.
  • Run terraform plan and if there are no errors deploy with terraform apply.
  • Rancher hosts will launch and register in around 5 minutes.
