The simplest way to get a fully working Consul Cluster with Connet & Envoy on 3 VMs :)
- virtualbox
- vagrant
This project uses Ansible but you don't need it on your host : it's installed on a VM by Vagrant and provisions everything from there.
vagrant up
That's it ! Have a cup of coffee while looking at Vagrant upping the VMs and setting everything for you.
When it's finished, ssh in any VM* and check your Consul cluster :
vagrant ssh worker-0
consul members
you should get something like that :
Node Address Status Type Build Protocol DC Segment
master 172.16.0.10:8301 alive server 1.6.1 2 dc1 <all>
worker-0 172.16.1.10:8301 alive client 1.6.1 2 dc1 <default>
worker-1 172.16.1.11:8301 alive client 1.6.1 2 dc1 <default>
* except "provisionner" which is used to run Ansible scripts and is not part of the cluster
vagrant ssh worker-1
sudo docker exec caller curl localhost:12345
If you've got a response from echo, it means that everything worked properly !
vagrant ssh worker-1
watch 'sudo docker exec caller_canary curl localhost:12345'
you should have responses from echo container (2/3) echo2 container (1/3)
Open a SSH tunnel from your host to the master VM in order to forward the port 8080 on your loopback to the port 8500 of the distant server's loopback.
ssh -L localhost:8080:localhost:8500 -i ./.vagrant/machines/master/virtualbox/private_key vagrant@172.16.0.10
Leave your terminal open, then open in your browser http://localhost:8080/ui/
requests statuses to echo service
ssh -L localhost:3000:localhost:3000 -i ./.vagrant/machines/monitoring/virtualbox/private_key vagrant@172.16.1.12
Open your localhost:3000 in your browser, then look for metrics starting with "envoy"
