This is merely a playground. Unfinished, imperfect, sloppy code. For educational purpose only.

It gets aws credentials and create a t2.micro instance with an image of wordpress from Bitnami (while recommended vm size is actually m3.medium), using ruby aws-sdk (api v3).

Get the code and

git clone https://github.com/mose/imgdeployer.git
cd imgdeployer/
bundle install

Then launch it

rackup

or in dev with a reload at each code change

shotgun

git clone https://github.com/mose/imgdeployer.git
cd imgdeployer/
docker build -t mose/imgdeployer .
docker run -d -v "$PWD:/src" -p 9393:9393 mose/imgdeployer:latest -o 0.0.0.0
open http://localhost:9393

Various improvements could be done:

• write some damn tests
• add a timer on operations
• add a way to display admin password directly, as the bitnami method requires to log in aws console (but it's quite well described in the wordpress template click on bottom right)
• get this working with vue.js or react rather than just jQuery
• show more metadata information about the created VM
• display some random cat pictures slideshow while it's initializing, so the user can get some love
• keep an audit log of operations
• persist user creds somehow
