ECGALAXY Open Source Infrastructure as Code components

2022-02-27

The ECGALAXY project provides a set of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) components, used by European Commission IT teams.

Some of these components are now open source under the EUPL license and maintained on code.europa.eu, the code development platform for open source projects from the European Union institutions.

The source code is also mirrored on GitHub.

The current focus is on development environments and Ansible 'roles', which are made available through Ansible Galaxy, while there are plans to publish other types of IaC components.

ECGALAXY Ansible roles published as open source include:

• containers_toolbox: containers-related command line tools in a box (dive, helm, k9s, kubectl, pack, ytt, ...)
• gopass: a password manager for the command line written in Go
• intellij: an integrated development environment written in Java
• php: the PHP language, CLI and extensions (including OCI8)
• summon: a CLI that provides on-demand secrets access for common DevOps tools
• task: a task runner / build tool written in Go

These Ansible roles support the following platforms:

• Amazon Linux 2
• Enterprise Linux 7 & 8
• Ubuntu 18.04, 20.04 LTS & 22.04 LTS (WIP)
