Thank you for visiting the BIS Digital Infrastructure repository. We are in very early phases of establishing our technical strategy, but have decided to commit to an early release procedure.
We have carefully selected the technology based on current trends in infrastructure, and those are:
- Immutable
- Serverless
- 12 factor
- Cloud
Each project has its own implementations in the technology and is documented accordingly. Please refer to the documentation embedded herein.
The platform of choice is RHEL7.
Vagrant is the first tier of development. This directory is the home of vagrant implementations. Each directory within is specific to each project.
Ansible is the configuration management engine of choice. It is used to push instructions to cloud providers and ensure idempotent configuration of each platform. The ansible directory is inclusive of all projects as they are implemented as playbooks and roles.
The vagrant-dotvm plugin allows YAML to be used for modelling infrastructures.
It also extends vagrant to use a group command. Groups are simply tags to
name machines and operate on them as one entity. Therefore, one may use
vagrant group <cmd> <group>. Please see enclosed documentation.
