a2

This will setup an Ubuntu 16.04 VM for A2. In order for this to work correctly the VM requires 2GB of RAM.

Internally this will try to assign at private network ip of 192.168.33.199 to those guest VM that is used to access the Web UI from the host system.

Usage

Add custom A2 license

NOTE: Be careful not to commit that file to the git repo, by default there is a .gitignore setting to ignore any automate.license file.

1. If you have an automate license you can place it in files/default/automate.license
2. Set node.default['a2']['licensed'] = true in a wrapper or modify the kitchen.yml to set the equivalent node attribute.

Setup the workstation

You will need to add an entry into your hosts file for the A2 FQDN. Specifically you will want to add a host entry for 192.168.33.199 to point at automate-deployment.test

On a OSX you would run the following command:

echo 192.168.33.199 automate-deployment.test | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts

Stand up the VM

kitchen converge 
# once complete open browser to https://automate-deployment.test

The default credentials for the admin user can be found in /tmp/kitchen/cache/automate-credentials.toml

TODO

• Add some tests
