module StackConfig
  Stacks = {
    # eu-west-1-simon-micro
    'rentpro-bmtw' => {
      :provider               => 'AWS',
      :aws_access_key_id      => ENV['AWS_ACCESS_KEY'],
      :aws_secret_access_key  => ENV['AWS_SECRET_KEY'],
      :keypair                => 'jobdoneright',
      # generic
      :region                 => 'eu-west-1',
      :availability_zone      => 'eu-west-1a',
      :flavor_id              => 't1.micro',
      :image_id               => 'ami-ffecde8b',
      :dns_domain             => 'bmtw.net',
      :dns_id                 => 'Z2NT1FUYUEREUK',
      :roles                  => {
        'rentpro-db'  => { 
          :count => 1, 
          :publish_private_ip => true, 
          :flavor_id => 'm1.small' 
        },
        'rentpro-web' => { 
          :count => 1, 
          :dns_wildcard => true 
        }
      }
    }
  }
end
