Simple Ansible script to set up a minimal Cassandra cluster

# Installing Python / Ansible

Need python installed:

brew install python

Then use pip (not homebrew) to install ansible:

pip install -Iv ansible==2.1.1.0
pip install paramiko PyYAML Jinja2 httplib2 six boto

Make sure that the path to the Python executable defined in local is correct.

AWS access

Need the following environment variables to be set up:

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID 'your-access-key-id'
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY='your-secret-access-key'

Need your SSH key (configured here) to have a name matching the envname you intend to pass to --env, be saved in ~/.ssh as <envname>.pem and set chmod to 400. Additionally, you'll need to set up host mappings like the following in ~/.ssh/config.

Host 34.*
 User ubuntu
 IdentityFile ~/.ssh/demo2.pem
