Ansible section plagiarized from https://github.com/atplanet/ansible-auto-scaling-tutorial

The ansible section https://github.com/airavata-courses/spring17-devops/tree/master/infrastructure/Ansible-Infrastructure looks like it is largely taken from https://github.com/atplanet/ansible-auto-scaling-tutorial

My task for assignment 3 was to check how infrastructure provisioning works with Ansible. Suresh wanted someone to try it out to compare it with Terraform. So I used an existing open source playbook (with Apache License 2.0) for provisioning an Auto-Scaling group on AWS. I modified the files with appropriate configuration changes that were required to provision an Airavata API-Server autoscaling group.

I kept the original readme as it was very detailed and would be helpful for other developers to understand it and make any changes. I only modified the readme to remove parts that were not relevant to my particular playbook.

My intention in doing so was not to plagiarize any content, and my task was not to create a playbook from scratch but to modify an existing playbook for our use case, test it and give a report on the viability of Ansible as an Infrastructure Provisioning Tool.
