Platform Provisioner by TIBCO®

Platform Provisioner by TIBCO® is a system that can provision a platform on any cloud provider (AWS, Azure) or on-prem. It consists of the following components:

• Recipes: contains all the information to provision a platform.
• Pipelines: The script that can run inside the Docker image to parse and run the recipe. Normally, the pipelines encapsulate as a helm chart.
• A runtime Docker image: The Docker image that contains all the supporting tools to run a pipeline with given recipe.

Get recipes from TIBCO GitHub

This repo provides some recipes to test the pipeline and cloud connection. It is located under recipes folder.

• tp-base: contains the base recipe to provision TIBCO Platform.
• controplane: contains the recipe to provision TIBCO® Control Plane.
• k8s: contains the recipe to provision Kubernetes cluster.

Run the Platform Provisioner in headless mode with Docker container

The platform-provisioner can be run in headless mode with Docker container. The Docker container contains all the necessary tools to run the pipeline scripts. The platform-provisioner.sh script will create a Docker container and run the pipeline scripts with a given recipe.

Prerequisite

• Docker installed
• Bash shell

Run the Platform Provisioner

Go to the directory where you save the recipe and run the following command.

export PIPELINE_INPUT_RECIPE=""
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TIBCOSoftware/platform-provisioner/main/dev/platform-provisioner.sh)"

Run the Platform Provisioner in headless mode with the Tekton pipeline

The platform-provisioner can be run in headless mode with Tekton installed in the target Kubernetes cluster. In this case, the recipe and pipeline will be scheduled by Tekton and run in the target Kubernetes cluster.

Prerequisite

• Docker installed
• Bash shell
• yq version 4 installed

Install Tekton with Tekton dashboard

export PIPELINE_SKIP_TEKTON_DASHBOARD=false
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TIBCOSoftware/platform-provisioner/main/dev/platform-provisioner-install.sh)"

After the installation, you can run the following command to port-forward the Tekton dashboard to local machine.

kubectl port-forward -n tekton-pipelines service/tekton-dashboard 8080:9097

We can now access Tekton provided dashboard: http://localhost:8080

Run the platform-provisioner in headless mode

Go to the directory where you save the recipe and run the following command

export PIPELINE_INPUT_RECIPE="<path to recipe>"
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TIBCOSoftware/platform-provisioner/main/dev/platform-provisioner-pipelinerun.sh)"

You will be able to see the running pipelinerun on Tekton Dashboard by clicking the PipelineRuns on the left.

Docker image for Platform Provisioner

We provide a Dockerfile to build the Docker image. The Docker image is used to run the pipeline. It contains the necessary tools to run the pipeline scripts.

Steps to build Docker image

To build Docker image locally, run the following command:

cd docker
./build.sh

This will build the Docker image called platform-provisioner:latest.

To build multi-arch Docker image and push to remote Docker registry, run the following command:

export DOCKER_REGISTRY="<your Docker registry repo>"
export PUSH_DOCKER_IMAGE=true
cd docker
./build.sh

This will build the Docker image called <your Docker registry repo>/platform-provisioner:latest and push to remote Docker registry.

Note

For other options, please see docker/build.sh.
