Task 1(a): Develop the cloud-init Script:
Create a compute instance pbt_cloud_init_vm_01 with the following properties:
Shape: VM.Standard.A1.Flex instance with 1 OCPU and 6 GB memory
Image: Oracle Linux 8
Placement: Use any of the availability domains
Network:
Place in the public subnet Cloud-Init Challenge SNT
Assign a public IPv4
Use the SSH public key
Add a cloud-init script and perform the following:
Use yum or dnf to install httpd.
Use systemctl to enable and start httpd
Open the firewall to http:
sudo firewall-offline-cmd --add-service=http
systemctl restart firewalld
Mark Complete
Task 1(b): Use cloud-init to Configure Apache on Instances in an Autoscaling Instance Pool:
You're deploying an Apache-based web application on OCI that requires horizontal autoscaling.
To configure instances upon provisioning, write a cloud-init script for Oracle Linux 8 that installs and enables Apache (httpd), and opens the firewall for HTTP on TCP port 80. Create an instance configuration and include the cloud-init script in it. Use this instance configuration to create an instance pool and autoscaling configuration.
Task 2: Create an Autoscaling Instance Pool Including the cloud-init Script:
Create an instance configuration named pbt_cloud_init_config_01 with the following properties:
Shape: VM.Standard.A1.Flex instance with 1 OCPU and 6 GB memory
Image: Oracle Linux 8
Placement: Use any of the availability domains
Network:
Place in the public subnet Cloud-Init Challenge SNT
Assign a public IPv4
Use the SSH public key
Attach the cloud-init script created in Task 1
Create an instance pool named pbt_cloud_init_pool_01 with one instance by using the instance configuration pbt_cloud_init_config_01
Create and attach an autoscaling configuration named pbt_cloud_autoscaling_config_01 with the following settings:
Metric-based autoscaling
Cooldown: 300 second
Performance metric: CPU utilization
Scale-out rule:
Operator: Greater than (>)
Threshold: 75%
Number of instances to add: 1
Scale-in rule:
Operator: Less than (<)
Threshold: 25%
Number of instances to remove: 1
Scaling limits:
Minimum number of instances: 1
Maximum number of instances: 2
Initial number of instances: 1
