Service Deployement on local machine using Cloudify CLI

Prerequisite: It is assumed that Docker and Cloudify CLI is already installed on the local machine.
Basic knowledge of Docker commands.

If Cloudify is NOT yet install follow the previous post HERE.
If Docker is NOT yet install follow the previous post HERE.

In this post we will see how to deploy a web service on the local machine using Cloudify CLI. We will follow the TOSCA standard of blueprint file.

[src] : https://cloudify.co/getting-started/

The deployment can be done in two ways: (a) using command line console and (b) using Cloudify web interface. We will deploy a simple web service or the blueprint available in 

https://github.com/cloudify-examples/local-simple-python-webserver-blueprint

or

    --tmpfs /run \
    --tmpfs /run/lock \
    --security-opt seccomp:unconfined \
    --cap-add SYS_ADMIN \
    -p 80:80 \

Step - 3 : Run following command the install the Hello World web service

sudo docker exec -it cfy_manager_local sh -c "cfy install https://github.com/chinmaya-dehury/local-simple-python-webserver-blueprint/archive/master.zip"

The entire Git directory will be copied to /opt/manager/resource directory

Step - 4 : Open the web browser and goto localhost:8000. You can see the output.
