Spin up Acme Telco Lite architecture

lab

This procedure is part of a lab that teaches you how to diagnose common issues using New Relic. If you haven't already, check out the lab introduction.

The Telco Lite architecture has eight, interconnected microservices:

Acme Telco Lite's architecture

In this procedure, you use our demo-deployer to spin up this infrastructure.

Set up your environment

Before you begin, follow the Prerequisites guide from the deployer's GitHub repository for a detailed walkthrough of how to set up your environment. You can choose between Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform (GCP) to host your deployment.

To summarize:

Install Docker & pull the demo-deployer image locally
Create a user config file containing credentials for New Relic and your cloud provider
Download a .pem key file (if your cloud provider is AWS)

Once you're all set up, deploy Acme Telco Lite.

Deploy Telco Lite

It's time to deploy and instrument the Telco Lite services using demo-deployer. Copy the url for the demo that corresponds to the cloud provider you chose when you set up your environment:

Follow the Deployment guide in the Demo Catalog repository for a thorough explanation of how to use the deployer in a local Docker environment. When you run the deployment script, make sure to pass the url you copied for <demo-url>.

Tip

Since Telco Lite contains several services, the deployment can take over half an hour.

When the deloyer is finished, you should see some output stating that the deployment was successful:

bash

After configuring your environment, you only needed two commands (and a bit of patience) to spin up all the Telco Lite services!
