Installation steps

Prepare local environment

Linux

Install following tools and packages:

Windows and macOS

Instruction for macOS and Windows is available in OpenStack installation steps.

Download packages

/aws/latest/cb-bosh-deployment-latest.tgz
/aws/latest/cb-cf-deployment-latest.tgz
/aws/latest/cb-concourse-deployment-latest.tgz
/aws/latest/cb-dns-deployment-latest.tgz
/aws/latest/cb-docker-images-latest.tgz
/aws/latest/cb-elk-deployment-latest.tgz
/aws/latest/cb-env-latest.tgz
/aws/latest/cb-installer-latest.tgz
/aws/latest/cb-k8s-deployment-latest.tgz
/aws/latest/cb-opscontrol-latest.tgz
/aws/latest/cb-prometheus-deployment-latest.tgz
/aws/latest/cb-utils-latest.tgz

Unpack packages

tar -zxvf cb-installer-latest.tgz
mkdir cloudboostr
./unpackage.sh . cloudboostr latest

Navigate to cb-opscontrol/terraform/aws.

Prepare SSH keys

First step is to prepare SSH keys that will be used for jumpbox and bosh connection. Also GIT key is required for terraform and scripts to download the required repositories.

If SSH keys were prepared before hand or are being created by external tool like Vault skip this and go to the next step.

# Create SSH keys

export EMAIL=[YOUR_EMAIL_HERE]
mkdir keys
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "$EMAIL" -f ./keys/jumpbox_devops -N '' -m pem
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "$EMAIL" -f ./keys/bosh_devops -N '' -m pem
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "$EMAIL" -f ./keys/git_private_key -N '' -m pem

Prepare resources

Upload keys

Then keys should be uploaded to the sensitive-data container. Filenames and container name can be changed in configuration if required.

aws s3 cp ./keys/bosh_devops         s3://sensitive-data/bosh_devops
aws s3 cp ./keys/bosh_devops.pub     s3://sensitive-data/bosh_devops.pub
aws s3 cp ./keys/jumpbox_devops      s3://sensitive-data/jumpbox_devops
aws s3 cp ./keys/jumpbox_devops.pub  s3://sensitive-data/jumpbox_devops.pub
aws s3 cp ./keys/git_private_key     s3://sensitive-data/git_private_key
aws s3 cp ./keys/git_private_key.pub s3://sensitive-data/git_private_key.pub

Configure terraform

Create file terraform.tfvars based on terraform.tfvars.example.

Configure environments

Configure environments for your purposes. To use default configuration clone the cb-config repository and change mandatory fields for infrastructure, Kubernetes, Cloud Foundry and common for all components.

Address and branch of that repository should be correctly filled in the "Fill the OpsControl configuration" step. Also git private key in sensitive-data container must work for that repository.

Run terraform

Start the deployment operation in directory "terraform" in the opscontrol repository:

terraform init
terraform apply

Terraform backend

Terraform can be configured to use external backend instead of local files. To use that feature follow the guide in the official documentation.
