  1. Install Ansible if you have not done so already. We recommend using virtual environments. https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/installation_guide/intro_installation.html#virtual-environments

    • NOTE: You can skip this step if you plan to use Ansible Tower. See the Tower Instructions.

  2. Create an Amazon AWS account.

  3. Create an Access Key ID and Secret Access Key. Save the ID and key for later.

  1. Install boto and boto3as well as netaddr and passlib

     pip install boto boto3 netaddr passlib

Are you using Tower? Tower Instructions

  1. Set your Access Key ID and Secret Access Key from Step 2 under ~/.aws/credentials
[root@centos ~]# cat ~/.aws/credentials
[default]
aws_access_key_id = ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP
aws_secret_access_key = ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP/ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP

  1. Download and copy the SAP binaries into an AWS s3 storage Click here

  2. Clone the workshops repo:

If you haven’t done so already make sure you have the repo cloned to the machine executing the playbook

    git clone https://github.com/mgmt-sa-tiger-team/sap-hana-workshop.git
    cd sap-hana-workshop/provisioner

Tower Instructions
