Enhancements to the Cloud Tools Maven plugin for deploying Java EE applications on Amazon EC2

« H E email
posted Wednesday, 23 April 2008

I recently added some new goals to the Cloud Tools Maven plugin that expand its capabilities:

  • cloudtools:dbsave - save a database snapshot in S3
  • cloudtools:dbrestore - restore the database from S3
  • cloudtools:clone - creates a copy of the cluster
  • cloudtools:describe - describes the cluster showing the instances
  • cloudtools:list - lists the available clusters
  • cloudtools:sql - runs an SQL script

You can also specify the structure of the cluster when using cloudtools:deploy:

  • cloudtools:deploy -Dcloudtools.topology=MultipleInstancesTopology - puts MySql, Tomcat and Apache on separate instances
  • cloudtools:deploy -Dcloudtools.topology=SingleInstanceTopology - puts MySql, Tomcat and Apache on the same instance
Please see the Cloud Tools website for more information.

You need to configure maven to automatically download the plugin from my repository. See http://www.chrisrichardson.net/kb/ec2/UsingTheCloudToolsMavenPlugin.htm.

You do not need to use my AMI. I've encountered folks who have been using their AMIs. However, the framework makes certain assumptions about the location of various files/directories. For now you could need to look in the source code of classes such as Tomcat, MySQL, and Apache. One day I will make all of that configurable.
