Implementation of Docker, Terraform, and Ansible in the New Site Project
In the New Site Project, I successfully incorporated Docker, Terraform, and Ansible into the existing infrastructure.
Docker: Docker was used to containerize applications and improve deployment efficiency. By creating lightweight, isolated containers, we achieved consistency and simplified the deployment process. Docker containers were utilized to package and deploy applications on the new site's infrastructure, ensuring seamless and scalable deployment.
Terraform with Proxmox VE: Terraform was employed to automate the provisioning and management of virtual machines (VMs) on the Proxmox VE platform. With Terraform's declarative configuration language, we defined the desired infrastructure state and used it to create and manage VMs. This streamlined the VM provisioning process, ensuring consistent and reproducible infrastructure deployments on the new site.
Ansible with Ansible Semaphore: Ansible was implemented for configuration management and automation tasks. Ansible playbooks were used to define the desired state of the infrastructure, including software installation, configuration updates, and system management. To enhance Ansible's usability, Ansible Semaphore, a GUI system, was integrated. Ansible Semaphore provided a user-friendly web interface for managing Ansible playbooks, allowing for playbook execution, scheduling, and monitoring.
By combining Docker, Terraform with Proxmox VE, and Ansible with Ansible Semaphore, we achieved a streamlined and automated infrastructure deployment and management process for the new site. Docker containers ensured consistent application deployment, Terraform simplified VM provisioning on Proxmox VE, and Ansible empowered configuration management and automation tasks. The integration of Ansible Semaphore provided an intuitive GUI for managing Ansible playbooks, enhancing the overall efficiency and usability of the infrastructure management workflow.
