This guide will walk you through deploying an example 3-tier web application to a public cloud.
This tutorial assumes that you are using Linux or Mac OSX.
Download Brooklyn and obtain a binary build as described on the download page.
{% if brooklyn_version contains ‘SNAPSHOT’ %} Expand the tar.gz archive (note: as this is a -SNAPSHOT version, your filename will be slightly different): {% else %} Expand the tar.gz archive: {% endif %}
{% if brooklyn_version contains ‘SNAPSHOT’ %} {% highlight bash %} $ tar -zxf brooklyn-dist-{{ site.brooklyn-version }}-timestamp-dist.tar.gz {% endhighlight %} {% else %} {% highlight bash %} $ tar -zxf brooklyn-{{ site.brooklyn-version }}-dist.tar.gz {% endhighlight %} {% endif %}
This will create a brooklyn-{{ site.brooklyn-version }} folder.
Note: You'll need a Java JRE or SDK installed (version 1.7 or later), as Brooklyn is Java under the covers.
Note #2: If you want to test Brooklyn on localhost, follow these instructions to ensure that your Brooklyn can access your machine.
Now start Brooklyn with the following command:
{% highlight bash %} $ cd brooklyn-{{ site.brooklyn.version }} $ bin/brooklyn launch {% endhighlight %}
Brooklyn will output the address of the management interface:
Next, open the web console on 127.0.0.1:8081. No applications have been deployed yet, so the “Create Application” dialog opens automatically: let's remedy this by deploying a blueprint.
It is not necessary at this time, but depending on what you are going to do, you may wish to set up other configuration options first:
