Magento®, an Adobe company, is a Cloud eCommerce Platform that TrackIt has successfully implemented utilizing a variety of Amazon Web Services. Technical challenges were discovered and overcome during the project. Technical details are outlined in this application note.
EC2 (and operating environments) is a client-managed service; all other services are managed by AWS
The Magento software is deployed and managed by Beanstalk. Two nearly identical environments were created, one for pre-production and one for production.
In the production environment there are two beanstalk environments. The first is for the front end servers that serve traffic to clients. The second is for the back office server which handles tasks such as re- indexing, product import, routines, and the access interface to the backend web.
There are four front end servers and one backend server. They are in two different target groups, and are both served by a single Application Load Balancer. This ALB uses a path-based routing rule, which directs all traffic on /backend/* to the back office server, and the rest to the frontend server.
The code is kept in sync between the front end and back office server.
The source of the code is in a repository handled by the client.
Beanstalk configuration files, that lists all the actions performed by the instance during deployment, are stored in this repository “git@bitbucket.org: client/beanstalk-config.git”, on the branch “prod” for production, and “preprod” for pre-production.
The configuration file with the secret parameters (keys, database connections, etc) is kept on AWS S3, and was pulled by the instances during the deployment.
The deployment process was handled by Rundeck. There is not automatic deployment when a new commit is pushed, but it is a “one button” deployment.
