Adding another layer – the MySQL role
So far, we have been focusing on the single tier of our infrastructure, that is, the web server layer. Writing code for just one tier is not a lot of fun. Being a cool DevOps team, we will create a multi-tier infrastructure with database, web server, and then, a load balancer. We will start creating the MySQL role next, apply everything that we have learnt so far, and extend that knowledge with a few new concepts.
Here is our specification for the MySQL role:
- It should install the MySQL server package
- It should configure '
