This repository holds work-in-progress code for launching Flynn into Google Cloud using Terraform.

• Be sure you have the Google Cloud SDK gcloud CLI configured
• Define the number of Flynn hosts desired in terraform.tfvars
• Get HashiCorp's Terraform 0.11.1
• Install terraform-provider-flynn per its instructions. n.b.: requires golang >1.7
• (Optional) Set other variables as desired in terraform.tfvars - variable names are discoverable in vars.tf

1. Navigate to ./clusters

cd clusters

1. Copy template folder to a folder with your new cluster name and enter the folder:

cp template NEW-CLUSTER
cd NEW-CLUSTER

1. Amend prefix = "NEW-CLUSTER" in backend.tf. test-cluster and other-cluster are examples
2. Ensure settings in terraform.tfvars are correct for your cluster/project.
3. Use the "zone" from Google Cloud DNS in the flynn_gce_zone variable
4. Use the "name" from Google Cloud DNS in the flynn_gce_name variable.

• Be sure to omit the trailing dot.

1. Initialize Terraform modules and storage: terraform init

terraform init

1. Generate a plan

terraform plan -out plan.tfplan

1. Visually verify plan
2. Execute the plan using

terraform apply plan.tfplan

1. As needed, refresh the plan with another cycle of steps 2-5
2. Delete the nodes by using

terraform destroy --force

• We're using regular gitflow, so branch and pull request as normal.

This will go from zero to fully-built Flynn cluster in about 5 minutes.
