Continuous Delivery in AWS EC2 and Microsoft Azure VM using Script

We have already created VMs in AWS and Microsoft Azure in Chapter 4, Cloud Computing and Configuration Management. To deploy an application in AWS and Microsoft Azure VM, we need a WAR package file. Once it is created by the Jenkins build job, we need to perform the following steps:

Let's configure the build job to execute the deployment of the WAR file in the AWS instance by executing the commands shown as follows:

• Give rights to ec2-user in the webapps directory of Tomcat so we can copy the WAR file:

ssh  -i /home/mitesh/book.pem -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -t -t
        [email protected] "sudousermod -a
        -G tomcat ec2-user;
        sudochmod -R g+w /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps; sudo service tomcat6
        stop;"

• Copy the WAR file into the remote directory:

scp  -i /home/mitesh/book.pem /home/mitesh/target/*.war ec2-
