Deploy beta webapp with Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial AMI
When working on https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gl-infra/infrastructure/issues/7993 we found out that the deploy-tools are not compatible with Ubuntu Xenial and deployment of a new version of Gitter webapp fails.
As a part of this issue we are going to:
-
spin up beta instance with Xenial AMI ( ami-053720f833d819f19) -
try to deploy webapp and reproduce the deployment issue https://dev.gitlab.org/gitlab/gitter/webapp/-/jobs/5522336 ansible-playbook -i beta playbooks/gitter/webapp-deploy.yml -
branch deploy-toolstoxenialbranch and fix the issue -
introduce if/else in ansible scripts to decide whether we are running trusty or xenial https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gl-infra/infrastructure/issues/9319 -
successfully deploy beta webapp
