Creating a Profile¶
A “profile” is a type of host with the configuration you specify.
There might be many hosts that implement the same profile. For example, you may have multiple application servers behind a load balancer. To implement such a setup, you would need two profiles: an application server profile and a load balancer profile.
A profile may be used to provision new hosts on any cloud:
- a commercial host like Digital Ocean
- locally using a KVM setup
Scaffold a Profile¶
The general form for creating a new profile looks like this
domo-new.sh profile $PROFILE_TYPE
So to create a new profile called application-server that will be tailored for running applications:
domo-new.sh profile application-server
Next Steps¶
Once you have a profile, you need to create at least one host that uses the profile. See the following for more information about that.
