Infrastructure as Code - LAMP Server

An IBM Cloud Schematics template to provision a virtual machine instance and provision Apache, MySQL (mariadb), and PHP onto that instance. Schematics uses Terraform as the infrastructure as code engine. With this template, you can provision and manage infrastructure as a single unit.

See the Bluemix docs for more information about Schematics and the IBM Bluemix Container Service.

Create an environment with this template

Environments can be used to separate software components into development tiers (e.g. staging, QA, and production).

1. In Bluemix, go to the menu and select the Schematics dashboard.
2. In the left navigation menu, select Templates to access the template catalog.
3. Click Create on the containers cluster template. You are taken to a configuration page where you can define data about your environment.
4. To use the Schematics-generated keypair for the environment, add the following variables: temp_public_key and temp_private_key. Set temp_public_key to $SCHEMATICS.SSHKEYPUBLIC and set temp_private_key to `$SCHEMATICS.SSHKEYPRIVATE.
5. If you want to be able to use an SSH key to access the virtual machine, provide your public SSH key as the value for ssh_key.
6. Define values for your remaining variables according to the following table.

Variables

Variable Name	Description	Default Value
cores	The number of CPU cores to allocate.	1
datacenter	The data center to create resources in. You can get the list by running bluemix cs locations.	wdc01
disk_size	The numeric disk sizes (in GB) for the instance’s block device and disk image settings.	25
domain	The domain for the instance.	domain.dev
hostname	The hostname for the instance.	hostname
memory	The amount of memory, expressed in megabytes, to allocate.	1026
network_speed	The connection speed (in Mbps) for the instance’s network components.	100
os_reference_code	The operating system reference code that is used to provision the computing instance. To see available OS reference codes, log in to the Bluemix Infrastructure (SoftLayer) API.	CENTOS_7
private_network_only	When set to true, a compute instance only has access to the private network.	false
softlayer_api_key	Your Bluemix Infrastructure (SoftLayer) API key.
softlayer_username	Your Bluemix Infrastructure (SoftLayer) user name.
ssh_key	Your public SSH key to access the VM.
ssh_label	An identifying label to assign to the SSH key.	public ssh key - Schematics VM
ssh_notes	A description to assign to the SSH key.
ssh_user	The provisioning username.	root
tags	Descriptive tags to label the resource.

Next steps

After setting up your environment with this template, you can run Plan to preview how Schematics will deploy resources (in this case, a Kubernetes cluster) to your environment. When you are ready to deploy the cluster, run Apply.
