Requirements

• Java 8
• Maven 3.3.9+
• AEM 6.3 Quickstart JAR & license.properties
• Ansible 2.2+
• AWS Account (and your credentials properly configured for Boto)

Try it out

• Execute ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml to install the required Ansible roles from GitHub.

• Place the AEM_6.3_Quickstart.jar and license.properties files into the files directory.

• Create two t2.medium EC2 instances with an Ubuntu AMI and at least the following tags:

  Key	Value
  Environment	adaptTo_development
  Role	aem

  Note that you need to bootstrap Python on the instances when using Ubuntu 16.04+, otherwise you'll get confusing "connection refused" messages from Ansible.

• Tag one instance as aem-author, the other as aem-publish with the Node tag.

• Execute ansible-playbook setup.yml -e conga_environment=development to install AEM 6.3 and deploy the wcm.io Samples on the newly created instances.
