Tomcat 7 Template

An IBM Cloud Schematics template that allocates a virtual machine instance and provisions Apache Tomcat onto the instance.

Schematics uses Terraform as the infrastructure as code engine. With this template, you can provision and manage infrastructure as a single unit.

See the Terraform provider docs for available resources for the IBM Cloud. Note: To create the resources that this template requests, your IBM Cloud Infrastructure (Softlayer) account and IBM Cloud account must have sufficient permissions.

Create an environment with this template

Environments can be used to separate software components into development tiers (e.g. staging, QA, and production).

1. In IBM Cloud, go to the menu and select the Schematics dashboard.
2. In the left navigation menu, select Templates to access the template catalog.
3. Click Create on the Tomcat7 template. You are taken to a configuration page where you can define metadata about your environment.
4. In the Variables section: a. Set the value of temp_public_key to $SCHEMATICS.SSHKEYPUBLIC to use the Schematics generated key pair for the environment. b. Set the value of temp_private_key to $SCHEMATICS.SSHKEYPRIVATE to use the Schematics generated key pair for the environment. c. If you want to be able to SSH into the virtual machine provide a value for public_key
5. Define values for your variables.

NOTE: The file /root/tomcat has the associated credentials & access information.

Variables

Variable Name	Description	Default Value
cores	The number of CPU cores to allocate.	1

domain	Domain for the computing instance.	domain.dev
hostname	Hostname for the computing instance.	hostname
memory	The amount of memory to allocate, expressed in megabytes.	1026
network_speed	The connection speed (in Mbps) for the instance’s network components.	100
os_reference_code	An operating system reference code that is used to provision the computing instance. Get a complete list of the OS reference codes available (use your API key as the password to log in).	CENTOS_7
private_network_only	When set to true, a compute instance only has access to the private network.	false
softlayer_api_key	Your IBM Cloud Infrastructure (SoftLayer) API key.
softlayer_username	Your IBM Cloud Infrastructure (SoftLayer) user name.
ssh_key	Your public SSH key to use for access to virtual machine.
ssh_label	An identifying label to assign to the SSH key.	public ssh key - Schematics VM
ssh_notes	Notes to store with the SSH key.
ssh_user	The provisioning user name.	root
tags	Set tags on the VM instance. Permitted characters include: A-Z, 0-9, whitespace, _ (underscore), - (hyphen), . (period), and : (colon). All other characters are removed.

Next steps

After setting up your environment with this template, you can run Plan to preview how Schematics will deploy resources to your environment. When you are ready to deploy the cluster, run Apply.
