In this tutorial, you'll explore two powerful tools, HashiCorp Terraform and Ansible, to set up and manage your Apple Silicon server. By automating infrastructure deployment and configuration, you can save time and reduce manual errors. | ||
|
||
<Macro id="requirements" /> | ||
|
||
- A Scaleway account logged into the [console](https://console.scaleway.com) | ||
- [Owner](/identity-and-access-management/iam/concepts/#owner) status or [IAM permissions](/identity-and-access-management/iam/concepts/#permission) allowing you to perform actions in the intended Organization | ||
- A valid [API key](/identity-and-access-management/iam/how-to/create-api-keys/) | ||
|
||
## Understanding the Tools | ||
|
||
### HashiCorp Terraform | ||
[Terraform](https://www.terraform.io/) is an open-source tool that allows you to define and provision your infrastructure as code (IaC). It enables you to create reproducible environments and manage your infrastructure through versioned configuration files. | ||
|
||
### Ansible | ||
[Ansible](https://www.ansible.com/) is an automation tool that uses playbooks to manage configurations and deploy applications. It helps maintain a clean and efficient directory structure, making automation tasks more manageable. | ||
|
||
## How to create an apple-silicon server | ||
|
||
### Using Terraform | ||
|
||
1. Download and install [Terraform](https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/install) | ||
|
||
2. Create a Directory: First, create a directory for your Terraform project. Open your terminal and run: | ||
|
||
```shell | ||
mkdir apple_silicon_server_terraform | ||
cd apple_silicon_server_terraform | ||
``` | ||
|
||
3. Create a Terraform Configuration File: Inside this directory, create a file named resources.tf: | ||
|
||
```shell | ||
touch resources.tf | ||
``` | ||
|
||
4. Define the Required Providers: Open resources.tf in your preferred text editor and add the following code to specify the Scaleway provider and the required Terraform version: | ||
|
||
```shell | ||
terraform { | ||
required_providers { | ||
scaleway = { | ||
source = "scaleway/scaleway" | ||
} | ||
} | ||
required_version = ">=0.13" | ||
} | ||
|
||
``` | ||
|
||
5. Define the Apple Silicon Server: In the same resources.tf file, add the configuration to create your Apple Silicon server: | ||
|
||
```terraform | ||
#resources.tf | ||
resource "scaleway_apple_silicon_server" "server" { | ||
name = "test-m2" | ||
type = "M2-M" | ||
zone = "fr-par-1" | ||
} | ||
``` | ||
|
||
6. Apply the Configuration: To apply this configuration, run the following commands in your terminal: | ||
|
||
```shell | ||
#Initialize Terraform | ||
terraform init | ||
#Plan the deployment | ||
terraform plan | ||
#Create the server | ||
terraform apply | ||
``` | ||
|
||
When prompted, type yes to confirm the creation of the resources. | ||
|
||
### Using Ansible | ||
|
||
1. Install Ansible: You can install Ansible using pip, the Python package manager. Run the following command: | ||
|
||
```shell | ||
pip install ansible | ||
``` | ||
|
||
2. Install Scaleway Ansible Collection: Run the following command to install the Scaleway collection for Ansible: | ||
|
||
```shell | ||
ansible-galaxy collection install scaleway.scaleway | ||
``` | ||
|
||
3. Create a Directory: First, create a directory for your Ansible project. Open your terminal and run: | ||
|
||
```shell | ||
mkdir apple_silicon_server_ansible | ||
cd apple_silicon_server_ansible | ||
``` | ||
|
||
4. Create a Playbook: Create a new file named create_applesilicon_server.yml: | ||
|
||
```shell | ||
touch create_applesilicon_server.yml | ||
``` | ||
|
||
5. Define the Playbook Content: Open create_applesilicon_server.yml in your text editor and add the following content: | ||
|
||
```ansible | ||
--- | ||
- name: Create Apple Silicon Server on Scaleway | ||
hosts: localhost | ||
gather_facts: no | ||
tasks: | ||
- name: Create an Apple Silicon server | ||
scaleway.scaleway.scaleway_applesilicon_server: | ||
access_key: "{{ scw_access_key }}" | ||
secret_key: "{{ scw_secret_key }}" | ||
state: present | ||
type_: "M2-M" # Replace with your desired server type | ||
name: "my-applesilicon-server" # Optional: specify a name for your server | ||
zone: "fr-par-1" # Optional: specify the zone if needed | ||
project_id: "your_project_id" # Optional: specify the project ID | ||
register: applesilicon_server | ||
- name: Output server information | ||
debug: | ||
var: applesilicon_server | ||
``` | ||
|
||
6. Ensure to replace your_project_id with your actual project ID if applicable. | ||
|
||
7. Replace Placeholders: Ensure to replace your_project_id with your actual project ID if applicable. | ||
|
||
```shell | ||
ansible-playbook create_applesilicon_server.yml -e "scw_access_key=YOUR_ACCESS_KEY scw_secret_key=YOUR_SECRET_KEY" | ||
``` | ||
Replace YOUR_ACCESS_KEY and YOUR_SECRET_KEY with your actual Scaleway credentials. | ||
|
||
8. Check the Output: The playbook will output the details of the created server, including its ID, IP address, status, and other relevant information. | ||
|
||
## How to read server info | ||
|
||
### Using Terraform | ||
|
||
To read server information after creation, you can use the terraform output command, assuming you have defined output variables in your resources.tf. For example: | ||
|
||
```terraform | ||
#resources.tf | ||
output "server_ip" { | ||
value = scaleway_apple_silicon_server.server.ip | ||
} | ||
``` | ||
|
||
After applying the configuration, run: | ||
|
||
```shell | ||
terraform output server_ip | ||
``` | ||
|
||
