Ok, here is my requirement: - We have a Dev environment in AWS (with VPC, subnets, EC2, S3, Applications, etc)
- Now we need to deploy QA environment similar to Dev, but we do not want to rebuild all the infrastructure (with VPC, subnets, EC2, S3, Applications etc) manually in QA, instead we want to deploy the entire infrastructure with automation, Infrastructure as code. We want to kind of replicate the Dev environment but with necessary changes in parameters, such as instance name, Application Server name, instance type, storage size etc., Can the above be accomplished with Ansible, if yes, how ? Hope it is clear now. thanks Sreek On Monday, July 24, 2017 at 7:10:28 PM UTC-4, Dick Visser wrote: > > Hi Sreekanth > I don't understand - there is a tool called CloudFormer, and you want > something in Ansible that does the same thing? > > Dick > > On 24 July 2017 at 22:57, Sreekanth Kannan <[email protected] > <javascript:>> wrote: > > Hello Dick > > > > Thanks for your response.
