[rabbitmq-discuss] Installing & initializing rabbitmq when the application is installed

[Jean Paul Galea]

Hi Anthony,

We are in the process of doing something similar.

We decided to use ansible (webpage at http://ansible.cc/) to automate 
installation and deployment of a RabbitMQ cluster.

The playbook (an ansible script to automate some tasks) is pretty 
simple; it adds external repositories (erlang, rabbitmq), installs the 
packages, writes some configuration files (e.g. same cookie for the 
whole cluster) and then starts up the daemons.

Since exchanges/queues/users/vhosts/policies cannot be configured in the 
standard conf files, we're written a bash script to invoke rabbitmqctl 
and does these kind of things.

There are other automation tools (puppet, cfengine, salt, etc) but I 
found ansible to be the right balance in being simple to set up without 
limiting what it can achieve.
