Deploying Your Plone Website

How to automate deployment of Plone servers, whether it’s one server or 100.

When: Monday, 9:00-1:00, MIT E15-341 & Tuesday, 2:00-6:00, District Hall Pod 3
What you will learn: How to do Plone deployments with Ansible and OpsWorks. For Ansible you will learn to use Plone’s Ansible Playbook to do full-stack server deployments. For OpsWorks you will get an introduction to OpsWorks Stacks and learn to use the Plone Opsworks cookbooks for managing scalable multi-server deployments of Plone and other applications.
Prerequisites: Basic command-line skills; familiarity with typical Plone deployment requirements. Please read Guide to deploying and installing Plone in production through the “Backing up” chapter if you’re unfamiliar with the typical deployment stack.
Things to bring: If you wish to try exercises or experiment during class, bring a laptop with Python 2.7 installed. (Python expertise is not required.) Either have a working Vagrant/VirtualBox install (test it!) or an account with a cloud server company like Rackspace, Linode, Digital Ocean, AWS or Google Cloud Platform. If you want to use Vagrant, download a recent Debian or Ubuntu box in advance. If you want to use AWS OpsWorks, you’ll need an AWS account with OpsWorks enabled.
