This ScyllaDB demo shows you how ScyllaDB handles high workload while scaling out from 3 nodes to 6 nodes.
- Amazon Web Services (AWS) EC2 instances
- AWS account and CLI credentials (more information on acquiring the credentials here and here, for OKTA you can use gimme-aws-creds)
- Terraform installed on your machine (installation instructions here)
Make sure that you have sufficient AWS permissions to create the following items:
- VPC
- Subnets
- Security groups
- EC2 instances
Clone the repository:
git clone <repo>
cd repo/
First, set the required items in variables.tf:
#
# Set the following variables (mandatory)
#
# ScyllaDB Cloud API token
variable "scylla_cloud_token" {
description = "ScyllaDB Cloud API token"
type = string
default = "ADD-YOUR-API-TOKEN-HERE"
}
# ScyllaDB Cloud region
variable "scylla_cloud_region" {
description = "ScyllaDB Cloud region of the cluster"
type = string
default = "eu-north-1"
}
# SSH private key for EC2 instance access
variable "ssh_private_key" {
description = "SSH private key location for EC2 instance access"
type = string
default = "/home/user/Documents/your-private-key.pem"
}
variable "aws_key_pair" {
description = "Key pair name in AWS"
type = string
default = "my-key-pair"
}
# AWS credentials file
variable "aws_creds" {
description = "AWS credentials location"

}Start setting up infrastructure with Terraform:
terraform init
terraform plan
terraform apply
Do you want to perform these actions?
Terraform will perform the actions described above.
Only 'yes' will be accepted to approve.
Enter a value: yes
[...]
Apply complete! Resources: 23 added, 0 changed, 0 destroyed.Setting up the infrastructure takes YX minutes. Once Terraform is finished do X Y Z
After finishing the demo, destroy the infrastructure:
terraform destroy
