Diving into ansible.
So, roles are basically the building blocks of deployments.
Been learning about haproxy, varnish, and apache/other app backends. Mysql replication and the works. Aesome stuff!
Looks like having the DB and memcache on a separate, small instance leaves enough ram for the haproxy,varnish,apache, and php plus caching mechanisms to live.
Nagios too.
After pouring over documentation and other guides, I think I'm getting the hang of this. Still need to look into inventory files and automatically managing them.
The goal is to be able to perfectly replicate my existing, 'snowflake' box using ansible.
Going to get a basic lamp stack working.
Forgot I'll need to include named.
Ok. This ssl.conf config for mod_ssl gives us an A rating at Qualys. If we added HTTP STS, we'd probably get the A+. But I'm not ready to add that yet, since the cert is only intended for a mail server, technically, and while aggroskater.com is on the cert as an alternative, wordpress isn't playing nice yet.
Added license via github. Hence this stupid merge commit. Merge branch 'master' of github.com:aggroskater/ansible_study
