Cloudlify
The simple cloud infrastructure launcher using Handlebars for template processing.
NOTE: Stack template examples will be posted shortly!
Use the Cloudlify npm module to compile yaml templates and execute cloud service provider commands.
Cloudlify uses Handlebars for merging the JSON formatted configuration file into the final template.
Currently we have AWS as a provider.
Install
npm install --save cloudlify
Requirements
Depending on the provider, which currently is only AWS, you will need the AWS CLI tools installed.
- AWS CLI tools - https://aws.amazon.com/cli/
- Amazon account with proper IAM roles/policies to access all the services you are deploying
- AWS Access Key: IAM > User > Security Credentials > Access Keys ( Create Access Key )
- AWS CLI Credentials locally - Create a folder under your profile for aws credentials ~/.aws ( MacOS )
Multiple AWS Profile Examples
~/.aws/config
[default]
output = text
region = us-east-1
[profile other]
region = us-west-2
~/.aws/credentials
[default]
aws_access_key_id =
aws_secret_access_key =
[other]
aws_access_key_id =
aws_secret_access_key =
Usage Example
./app.js
const Cloudlify = require( 'cloudlify' ),
yaml = require( 'yamljs' );
var configuration = yaml.load( './config/common.yaml' );
var cloudlify = new Cloudlify( configuration, '{ optional non default aws profile name for aws cli }' );
cloudlify.create();
Configuration Example
./config/common.yaml
# AWS Cloud Configuration

Environment Vars
Environment variables placed in a .env file can be used with the yaml configuration. If you pass a configuration yaml path to Cloudlify it will pre-process it with Handlebars and make ENV.MY_VAR substitutions before loading the it as a JSON object.
.env
MY_VAR = 1234
./config.yaml
Service:
Name: Testing
ID: {{ENV.MY_VAR}}
Folders
Cloudlify uses the following folders relative to where the package is called.
- Configurations:
./config
- Master templates:
./templates
- Partial templates:
./partials
- Build output:
./build
- Compiled output:
./dist
Roadmap
- Full example project with templates
- Test library
- Linting
- Convert to TypeScript
- Add more Providers
- Kubernetes ready
- Refactoring
