iis-lb
This cookbook configures IIS as a simple web load-balancer by creating an IIS Server Farm. It also allows you to pass a node['iis-lb']['members']
hash to add servers to the said server farm.
DISCLAIMER
This cookbook is used to help demonstrate the wrapper-cookbook pattern
, attribute precedence
and search
in Chef Essentials training for Windows. This cookbook does NOT describe the definitive pattern for configuring IIS as a web load-balancer. Use at your own risk.
Platforms
This cookbook was tested on:
- Windows Server 2012 R2
Usage
Adding recipe[iis-lb::default]
to your Windows Server's run_list
will install all the necessary components and create an IIS Server Farm myServerFarm
. This will also add two servers to the Server Farm, based on the node['iis-lb']['members']
hash. One should override this hash to add their own servers to the farm, such as in this example wrapper recipe:
node.default['iis-lb']['members'] = [
{
'address' => 'localhost',
'weight' => 100,
'port' => 4000,
'ssl_port' => 4000
},
{
'address' => '127.0.0.1',
'weight' => 100,
'port' => 4001,
'ssl_port' => 4001
}]
include_recipe 'iis-lib::default'
The recipe[iis-lb::sweep]
will remove the Server Farm myServerFarm
from your IIS configuration.
