Deploy and Manage a Scalable Moodle Cluster on Azure

This repo contains guides on how to deploy and manage a scalable Moodle cluster on Azure. You can use an Azure free account to get started.

Once you have an Azure account you can deploy Moodle via the Azure portal using the button below, or you can deploy Moodle via the CLI.

What this stack will give you

This template set deploys the following infrastructure:

• Autoscaling web frontend layer (Nginx for https termination, Varnish for caching, Apache/php or nginx/php-fpm)
• Private virtual network for frontend instances
• Controller instance running cron and handling syslog for the autoscaled site
• Load balancer to balance across the autoscaled instances
• Postgres or MySQL database
• Azure Redis instance for Moodle caching
• ObjectFS in Azure blobs (Moodle sitedata)
• Three Elasticsearch VMs for search indexing in Moodle
• Dual gluster nodes for high availability access to Moodle files

Quickstart

Why not get started with deploying a Moodle cluster on Azure right now.

Contributing

This project welcomes contributions and suggestions. Our goal is to work on Azure specific tooling for deploying and managing the open source Moodle learning management system on Azure. We do not work on Moodle itself here, instead we work upstream as appropriate.

The short version of how to contribute to this project is "just do it". Where "it" can be defined as any valuable contribution (and to be clear, asking questions is a valuable contribution):
