OVERVIEW

This project makes it easy to setup HPE Container Platform demo/trial environments on AWS

- The goal of this project is to easily create HPE Container Platform demo and trial environments.
- The concepts demonstrated in this project are not suitable for production environments.
- This project is for frequently creating and tearing down demo/trial environments.
- This project is not for creating and managing long-living demo/trial environments.
- Please read the project license before using this project.

IMPORTANT: If you haven't yet had any exposure to HPE Container Platform, you should head to HPE Demonstration Portal (search for HPE Container Plaftorm) where you can schedule to run some demo workflows. This is available for HPE Employees and Partners only.

Pre-requisites

The following installed locally:

• Terraform - installation instructions|downloads
• AWS CLI - installation instructions

This project has been tested on Linux and OSX client machines - Windows is unlikely to work.

Quick start

Setup environment

# If you haven't already configured the aws CLI with your credentials, run the following:
aws configure

# clone this project
git clone https://github.com/hpe-container-platform-community/hcp-demo-env-aws-terraform
cd hcp-demo-env-aws-terraform

# create a copy 
cp ./etc/bluedata_infra.tfvars_example_picasso_mlops ./etc/bluedata_infra.tfvars

# edit to reflect your requirements
vi ./etc/bluedata_infra.tfvars 

# initialise terraform
terraform init

For many more configuration options, see etc/bluedata_infra.tfvars_template.

We are now ready to automate the environment setup ...

./bin/create_new_environment_from_scratch_with_picasso_and_mlops.sh

This may take 30 minutes or more until it is complete.

If the above script has run without error, you can retrieve the RDP/brower endpoint and credentials using:

./generated/rdp_credentials.sh

Use a Remote Desktop Client or open a webbrowser into the RDP host. You are then ready to configure your HPE Container Platform deployment with Gateways, Hosts, License, etc. For more information on the RDP server, see the README.
