This repository will install apache2 and add a custom page with simple text. Once the install is successful it will verify that the expected text is displayed in the web page.

1. Install ansible
2. Install python boto
3. Download this repository and cd ansible-apache
4. Create an SSH key in AWS
   • Downlod the private key to the ansible-apache directory make the file name match the AWS display name
   • If it was named "ansible" in AWS, name the ssh key file "ansible.pem"
5. Create an AWS Security Group
   • Make sure the Security Group allows connections from your computers IP
   • A simple Security Group is to allow all traffic from 0.0.0.0 (not recommended for production servers)
6. If it isn't already make wrapper.py executable chmod +x wrapper.py
7. Run the command:
   • ./wrapper.py -n <server-name> -g <group-name> -k <ssh-key-name>
   • Replace the arguments above with the appropriate values
   • -g specifies the security group name as it appears in AWS
   • -k specifies the name of the ssh key as it appears in AWS
   • Example: ./wrapper.py -n ansible_apache_testing -g ansible_testing -k ansible
   • Other options are available for wrapper.py, run the command wrapper.py -h for more information

At the end of the deployment of apache2 and replacing the default web page a test is run to verify the expected text is displayed. This can be verified by going to the IP address of the new machine in a browser.
