1 - BASH TEST

The purpose of this exercise is to debug a buggy bash script.

⚠️ WARNING This script contains a DANGEROUS script.

⚠️ DO NOT EXECUTE IT.

Installation

• clone this repository
• execute the following

cd <repo folder>
cp bash/sample.env bash/.env
pwd 

• Edit the .env file
• Copy the output of the previous command as CC_SCRIPT_PATH value.
• save your .env file

Fix the Bash Bug

Files of this exercise are in the /bash folder.

When I last executed this script, I lost all my home folders.

Since then, I tried to fix it. Here is latest version.

Obviously, it still has a bug. Your tasks are to :

• fix it
• make it production ready so it can be used by typing :

cd <repo folder>
./menu

⚠️ WARNING As mentioned in the exercise, this is a DANGEROUS script.

⚠️ DO NOT EXECUTE IT.

2 - TOMCAT DEPLOYMENT

The goal of this exercise is to automate the deployment of tomcat with Ansible and test the deployment in a container.

• Write an ansible tomcat_deploy.yml playbook to install a tomcat server with the following parameters :
  • Tomcat version : 8
  • JVM Max heap size depending on environment :

  DEV: 256Mo
  PROD: 512Mo
  

• Deploy "sample.war"
• Write a short "tomcat_deploy.sh" (less than 10 lines) to test ansible configuration in a docker container. This script should :
  • build the test container from the Dockerfile contained in /tomcat_deploy
  • launch the container and execute it from tomcat_test.sh (already present) to execute the playbook and launch a set of tests.

⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ To avoid issues when starting the service inside a container, you must use option --privileged=true

Some useful points :

• The tomcat_deploy folder must be mounted as /data of the docker container to be able to launch the test script.
• The environnement (DEV/PROD) is passed as a parameter to the ansible command with --extra-vars="env=${ENVIRONMENT}" in order to configure the maximum heap of the JVM accordingly.
• Tomcat installation, war deployment and heap parameteres are the only expected parameters expected in Ansible configuration (make it as simple as possible).
