ethcrt

The original project used to develop this repo can be found here stacker project

Requirements

• Python 3.4+
• aws-vault https://github.com/99designs/aws-vault
• poetry

Usage

1. Clone this repo
2. Run make setup
3. Modify the environment files accordingly
4. Run stacker build --profile <profile> --stacks stacker-bucket stacker.yaml

Note: You should try to make your stacker_bucket variable unique since S3 bucket names share a global namespace. It will default to stacker-ethcrt but you may choose any unique value.

Project tree

In this example we have a product called ethcrt and two environments called dev and prod.

Some notes about the files in this tree:

conf/<env>.env:

This is an "environment" file which holds variables that change in the config based on the environment. This allows you to have a single config for all your environments, while changing small things per environment.

See: http://stacker.readthedocs.io/en/latest/environments.html

stacker.yaml:

This is a "stacker config" file.

See: http://stacker.readthedocs.io/en/latest/config.html

blueprints/touch.py:

This is a tiny stacker blueprint that doesn't do much of anything. A blueprint is used to programatically generate CloudFormation JSON.

See: http://stacker.readthedocs.io/en/latest/blueprints.html

tests/blueprints/test_touch.py:

This is a tiny stacker blueprint test which only creates a simple resource in CloudFormation (a WaitCondition, which does nothing on it's own).

See: http://stacker.readthedocs.io/en/latest/blueprints.html#testing-blueprints

Running a release

In this example we use a Makefile to save commands. The commands will be ran using poetry which will handle creating a virtualenv for you, as well as insuring that the correct packages are installed.

To execute stacker using your dev environment, using the --interactive flag run:

make dev ARGS=--interactive

To execute stacker using the prod environment, run:

make prod ARGS=--interactive
