firstmile's Introduction
FirstMile
----------
FirstMile is a cloud developer's sandbox.
FirstMile simplifies the process of developing and deploying web applications to Amazon Elastic Beanstalk
and Google App Engine (GAE). FirstMile is unique in that you don't need to make any changes to your application code
in order to deploy it on Beanstalk or GAE. FirstMile supports testing your applications locally by deploying
them in FirstMile's Docker-based sandbox. Additionally, FirstMile supports provisioning of relational database instances
and their secure binding with your web applications.
Currently FirstMile supports Python Flask based web applications.
FirstMile has been tested on: Ubuntu 14.04, Ubuntu 16.04, Mac OS X (El Capitan, Darwin 15.4.0)
Completely scripted installation
---------------------------------
- Run ./install.sh
Manual installation
------------------------
If completely scripted installation fails for some reason, you can do manual setup of FirstMile as follows:
Ubuntu:
-------
Open a terminal window and execute following:
$ ./setup-ubuntu.sh
$ source firstmile/bin/activate
$ python cld.py
Open another terminal window and execute following:
$ <cd to directory where you have cloned firstmile>
$ source firstmile/bin/activate
$ cld app list
Mac OS:
-------
Open a terminal window and execute following:
Install Docker for Mac
$ eval "$(docker-machine env default)"
--> This command will enable this shell window to run Docker commands
without sudo
$ ./setup-mac.sh
$ source firstmile/bin/activate
$ python cld.py
Open another terminal window and execute following:
$ <cd to directory where you have cloned firstmile>
$ source firstmile/bin/activate
$ cld app list

+------------------+-----------+---------------------+--------------+------------------------+
| hello-world | 1 | DEPLOYMENT_COMPLETE | local-docker | http://172.0.0.1 |
+------------------+-----------+---------------------+--------------+------------------------+
Deployment to Amazon Elastic Beanstalk:
----------------------------------------
1) Sign up for Amazon AWS account
2) Login to Amazon AWS web console and from the IAM panel do following:
- Create a IAM User (choose any name)
- Grant following permission to the user: "AWSElasticBeanstalkFullAccess - AWS Managed Policy" by
clicking the "Add permissions" button on the user panel.
3) Note down SECRET_ACCESS_KEY and ACCESS_KEY_ID for this user.
4) Setup FirstMile to work with AWS
- cld cloud setup aws
> Provide values when asked by cld.
5) Deploy hello-world sample application:
- Navigate to the application folder (cd ./examples/hello-world)
- Deploy application:
> cld app deploy --cloud aws
+------------------+-----------+------------+
| App Name | Deploy ID | Cloud |
+------------------+-----------+------------+
| hello-world | 2 | aws |
+------------------+-----------+------------+
6) Check deployment status
> cld app show --deploy-id 2
+------------------+-----------+---------------------+--------------+------------------------+
| App Name | Deploy ID | Status | Cloud | App URL |
+------------------+-----------+---------------------+--------------+------------------------+
| hello-world | 2 | DEPLOYMENT_COMPLETE | aws | <App URL on AWS> |
+------------------+-----------+---------------------+--------------+------------------------+
Deployment to Google App Engine:
--------------------------------
1) Sign up for a Google cloud account by visiting https://console.cloud.google.com
2) In order to deploy an application on Google App Engine, you will need to first
create a Google App Engine project from the GAE Console.
- Create a project and note down the Project ID (Note that it is important to use Project ID and not the Project name).
3) Setup FirstMile to work with Google
- cld cloud setup google
> Provide values when asked by cld.
4) Deploy sample application greetings-python:
- Navigate to the application folder (cd ./examples/greetings-python)
- Deploy application:
> cld app deploy --cloud google --service mysql
+------------------+-----------+--------+
| App Name | Deploy ID | Cloud |
+------------------+-----------+--------+
| greetings-python | 3 | google |
+------------------+-----------+--------+
5) Check deployment status
> cld app show --deploy-id 1
+------------------+-----------+---------------------+--------+---------------------------------------+
| App Name | Deploy ID | Status | Cloud | App URL |
+------------------+-----------+---------------------+--------+---------------------------------------+
| greetings-python | 3 | DEPLOYMENT_COMPLETE | google | https://greetings-python.appspot.com |

Deploying using YAML file
--------------------------
FirstMile supports YAML file for deployments.
The yaml file needs to be named 'cld.yaml' and it needs to be placed in the application directory.
cld.yaml allows providing of all the inputs to FirstMile CLI
in one step instead of using different command line flags.
Structure of YAML file:
-----------------------
The YAML file consists of three sections: application, services, cloud.
The cloud section is compulsory whereas application and services section
can be included depending on whether you want to deploy a service instance
or an application. Below is an example of YAML file containing all three sections.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
application:
type: python
entry_point: application.py
env_variables:
MY_VAR1: VALUE1
MY_VAR2: VALUE2
services:
- service:
type: mysql
cloud:
type: google
project_id: greetings-python
user_email: [email protected]
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Here are some examples of YAML file for different deployments.
