+#+TITLE: Deploying demo infrastructure
+#+AUTHOR: James Blair <jablair@redhat.com>

+
+This guide will outline the steps to follow to deploy the infrastructure required to run the demo for this talk. Infrastructure provisioning is performed via [[https://www.ansible.com/][ansible]] using the [[https://www.terraform.io/][terraform]] collection.
+
+To run the demo we need one rhel virtual machine, these machines will run our ~microshoft~ kubernetes cluster which will have our ansible automation platform and jira pods deployed.
+
+To get started we need to define some credentials into an ~.env~ file. Note that these credentials are ignored in the repo ~.gitignore~ file for security reasons.
+
+#+NAME: Create secret env file
+#+begin_src tmate
+cat << EOF > .env
+export TF_VAR_subscription_pw=placeholder
+
+export TF_VAR_aws_region=ap-southeast-2
+export TF_VAR_aws_access_key=placeholder
+export TF_VAR_aws_secret_key=placeholder
+EOF
+#+end_src
+
+
+Once secrets have been defined run the code block below to install our dependencies and run the ansible playbook that will deploy our infrastructure.
+
+#+NAME: Install dependencies and run
+#+begin_src tmate
+# Source secrets
+source ../.env
+
+# Install certified terraform collection
+ansible-galaxy collection install cloud.terraform
+ansible-galaxy collection install awx.awx
+
+# Run the deploy playbook
+ansible-playbook -i localhost demo-infra-deploy.yaml
+#+end_src
