# cfer-consul-cluster-cookbook

Uses [Cfer](https://github.com/seanedwards/cfer) to launch a self-bootstrapping Consul cluster into an AWS AutoScaling group.

To launch the cluster, run `rake converge`. This will prompt you for:

* A VPC ID

* A comma-separated list of Subnet IDs

* An EC2 Keypair name

Review and modify [consul.rb](https://github.com/seanedwards/chef-cfer-consul-cluster/blob/master/consul.rb) before using this in production. I recommend also creating a [wrapper cookbook](https://www.chef.io/blog/2013/12/03/doing-wrapper-cookbooks-right/) to add your own server monitoring, log aggreagation, and other such infrastructure to these servers.

## Features

* New nodes automatically join the cluster.

* Autoscaling policies roll over servers one at a time when changing things like instance type.

* CloudFormation creation and updates will fail and roll back if there's a provisioning issue.
