Udacity DevOps Nanodegree Project2

Basic usage

This project uses a cloudformation script to launch autoscaling EC2 instances. Running the script will create two stacks named IAC-Network and IAC-Servers, starting with the network stack.

To get started run: ./create-stack-IAC

To delete stacks first run: ./delete IAC-Servers. Once complete you can delete the network stack with ./delete IAC-Network.

Project Requirements

The Basics

CRITERIA	MEETS SPECIFICATIONS	COMPLETED
Parameters	The more the better, but an exaggerated number of parameters can be messy ( say, 10 or more ). 1 or 0 is definitely lacking.	✅
Resources	This is the mandatory section of the script, we are looking for a LoadBalancer, Launch Configuration, AutoScaling group a health check, security groups and a Listener and Target Group.	✅
Outputs	This is optional, but it would be nice to have a URL here with the Load Balancer DNS Name and “http” in front of it .	✅
Working Test	If the student provides a URL to verify his work is running properly, it will be a page that says “it works! Udagram, Udacity”	✅

Load Balancer

CRITERIA	MEETS SPECIFICATIONS	COMPLETED
Target Group	The auto-scaling group needs to have a property that associates it with a target group. The Load Balancer will have a Listener rule associated with the same target group	✅
Health Check and Listener	Port 80 should be used in Security groups, health checks and listeners associated with the load balancer	✅

Auto-Scaling
