mk-lab-terraform-packet

Use Terraform to deploy Mk22 lab on the bare-metal provider packet.net

Steps

• Install Terraform
• Register with www.packet.net for an account. Important: Use of Packet will incur costs hourly. Note: Packet offers discount codes like the one of the fine folks from CoreOS that can get you started
• Obtain API key token from your packet.net account
• Clone this repo
• Copy settings.tf.orig to settings.tf
• Set API key token in settings.tf
• Set path to your private ssh key in settings.tf
• Then run

(~/mk-lab-terraform-packet) $ terraform apply .

• Deployment can take about 90 minutes. After deploy, the public IP of the Salt master cfg01 will be displayed
• Login

(~/mk-lab-terraform-packet) $ ssh root@<PUBLIC-IP>

• Horizon is available at https://172.16.10.100 user admin, password workshop
• Contrail is avaiable at https://172.16.10.254:8143 user admin, password workshop, domain admin
• Use a tool like sshuttle as poor man's VPN into the lab:

(~/mk-lab-terraform-packet) $  sshuttle -v -r root@<PUBLIC-IP> 192.168.150.0/24 172.16.10.0/24

• Important: When done delete resources to save unnecessary costs:

(~/mk-lab-terraform-packet) $ terraform destroy .

• Verify no servers are still running at packet.net
