Automated Deployment of SUSE Cloud Application Platform onto AWS EKS

Deploy EKS with terraform

This script will deploy an EKS cluster in the following region with these instance sizes.

• region: us-east-1
• instance size: 3 xlarge (8GB RAM) worker nodes across different AZs
• The above configuration will cost around $0.6 per hour (or around $432 per month)

Client PC setup (linux, mac, windows)

• Open AWS Account (may require credit card verification)
• Setup admin user with programmatic and console access
  • IAM > Add group > admin (with AdminAccess Policy)
  • IAM > Add user > enable prog and console access and associate with admin group
  • Download credentials CSV
• Install AWS CLI
  • Download and install
  • Run aws configure (input API keys wiith default region to us-east-1)
  • Validate aws cli installation with aws ec2 describe-instances and expect some output without errors.
• Install kubectl and helm
• Install aws-iam-authenticator
• Install terraform
• Install flarectl

Setup cloudflare

• Register a domain and transfer the domain to cloudflare
• Obtain cloudflare global API token and save it into ~/.cloudflare/credentials

Here's the example of the ~/.cloudflare/credentials file:

#! /bin/bash -e

export CF_API_KEY=<Cloudflare Global API token>
export CF_API_EMAIL=<Your Email Address for Cloudflare>

Create EKS cluster on your AWS

Run the build script to create your EKS cluster on your AWS.

git clone https://github.com/dsohk/susecap-tf-eks.git
cd susecap-tf-eks
cd eks
./01-build-eks.sh

Setup helm repo for SUSE CAP

After the above step is finished, run the following script to get your helm chart ready.

./02-config-helm.sh

Install SUSE CAP (uaa + scf + stratos)

(Working in progress)

./03-install-susecap.sh

Install metrics

(Working in progress)

./04-install-metrics.sh

Install minibrokers

(Working in progress)

./05-install-minibroker.sh

Refer to SUSE CAP doc to continue the deployment of CAP on your EKS https://www.suse.com/documentation/cloud-application-platform-1/singlehtml/book_cap_guides/book_cap_guides.html#sec.cap.install-uaa-prod

Tear down SUSE CAP and EKS cluster on AWS

To tear down the entire SUSE CAP and EKS cluster on AWS, run the following command:

./10-clean-up.sh

notes

1. skip ssl validation when registering kubernetes endpoints in stratos
2. enter "susecap-eks" as name of cluster
