Customizing your Scalarium Cloud using Chef: Deploying an Application

We have a fully automated setup for Redis and a client Rails application in place, what better way to test it than
deploying an application, right? Luckily for us, we have an example Rails application for use with Redis up on
GitHub
, ready for use with our fresh setup.

Simply add a new application to the cloud as so nicely suggested by the message hovering above your cloud.

Add an application

We'll focus on the important values you need to specify, which are a proper name for an application, what type it is
(Ruby on Rails in this case), and where to fetch it from. Again, this is a public repository, so there's no need to specify an SSH key.

Add an application

Hit create, and you're ready to roll out the first deployment on your customized Scalarium cloud.

Deploy application

After you've run a deployment, go to the cloud's page an click on the Rails application server's IP address, which will
open the deployed application in your browser. You should be greeted by this rather handsome page:
