IBM Power Virtual Server with VPC Landing Zone

Graduated (Supported) semantic-release pre-commit latest release Renovate enabled

Summary

This repository contains deployable architecture solutions that help provision VPC landing zones, PowerVS workspaces, and interconnect them. The solutions are available in the IBM Cloud Catalog and can also be deployed without the catalog, except for the second solution below.

Four solutions are offered:

  1. Standard
    • Creates a VPC and Power Virtual Server workspace, interconnects them, and configures OS network management services (SQUID proxy, NTP, NFS, and DNS services) using Ansible Galaxy collection roles ibm.power_linux_sap collection.
  2. Standard Extend
    • Extends the standard solution by creating a new Power Virtual Server workspace in a different zone and interconnects with the previous solution.
    • This solution is typically used for High Availability scenarios where a single management VPC can be used to reach both PowerVS workspaces.
  3. Quickstart (Standard plus VSI)
    • Creates a VPC and a Power Virtual Server workspace, interconnects them, and configures operating network management services (SQUID proxy, NTP, NFS, and DNS services) using Ansible Galaxy collection roles ibm.power_linux_sap collection.
    • Additionally creates a Power Virtual Server Instance of a selected t-shirt size.
    • This solution is typically utilized for PoCs, demos, and quick onboarding to PowerVS Infrastructure.
  4. Import
    • Takes information about an existing infrastructure and creates a schematics workspace.
    • The schematics workspace's ID and the outputs from it can be used to install the terraform solution 'Power Virtual Server for SAP HANA' on top of a pre-existing PowerVS infrastructure.
    • It creates the ACL and security group rules necessary for management services (NTP, NFS, DNS, and proxy server) and schematics engine access.
    • This solution is typically used for converting an existing Power Virtual Server landscape to a Schematics workspace.
