action #118660
Updated by okurz over 1 year ago
## Motivation
We investigated the general feasibility of running an OSD clone in cloud in #88341 and #100581 is about documenting a setup for workers. Using Terraform would give us a more efficient, generic way to setup OSD (in several ways depending on backends) without relying on clicking around in e.g. AWS web interfaces.
## Acceptance criteria
* **AC1:** A main.tf exists that allows setup of OSD in the cloud
* **AC2:** One or multiple workers are setup
## Suggestions
* Look at https://learn.hashicorp.com/terraform
* Read https://www.terraform.io/docs
* See e.g. Docker setup of Terraform https://learn.hashicorp.com/tutorials/terraform/docker-build?in=terraform/docker-get-started
* Look for training videos at O'Reilly
* Use the terraform recipes from https://github.com/os-autoinst/openQA/pull/4880 to setup your own instance with terraform to see how openQA bootstrap would be called
* Create a script or documentation how from that one would setup a single or multiple workers connecting to another instance
## Out of scope
* It is ok if the terraform recipes provide a good baseline for most of the work and the rest is done manually or with quick temporary changes to the terraform recipes as desired. So not 100% needs to be automated. If you e.g. use the AWS webUI to bring in final touches yourself but have that noted down that is completely fine
