Installs Aegir and various extensions to provide a deployment target for sites developed on Valkyrie. Valhalla is intended to run on cloud infrastructure, and currently supports AWS. For example, the current deployment model is a cluster of front-end web nodes with files hosted on S3, behind Varnish caches and an ElasticLoadBalancer, with RDS databases, ElastiCache Redis, etc.

Requirements

None.

Role Variables
