1392725 - Create a durable proxy server for Socorro prod ES5

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Socorro :: Infra, task)

Description

[Miles Crabill [:miles]]

I've mentioned that we should have durable proxy servers in place to forward traffic from the processor and webhead nodes in the mozilla-webeng account to the new elasticsearch 5.3 cluster in the ops stage and prod accounts.

My vision for this: I will create a simple AMI for this purpose that we can put in an ASG / launchconfiguration for stage/prod that will claim the whitelisted EIP that the es5 cluster allows for ingress. It will be durable in that it should be automatically replaced should AWS "make it go away".

The only thing this instance needs to do is run nginx to forward requests to the es5 clusters.

Rather than moving our existing systems in -stage and -prod to use the new elasticsearch clusters, we are migrating the entirety of the infrastructure. The other pieces of Socorro will live in the same environment as elasticsearch, removing the need for a proxy. WONTFIXing.
