Before installing Usage Engine Private Edition, you need to set up a Kubernetes cluster on OCI OKE (Oracle’s managed Kubernetes service).

First, you need to create a basic Kubernetes cluster needs to be created. This You can be done do this in two different ways:

  • Using the terraform tool.

  • Using the OCI management console.

In this guide, terraform will be used. Mainly , mainly because it will enable you to create the basic Kubernetes cluster in minutes with just a single command.

Once the basic Kubernetes cluster has been created, you need to add additional infrastructure needs to be added. For this terraform is also used. You can use terraform for this as well.

Before proceeding, go to Release Information, and download the oci.tar.gz file for the Usage Engine Private Edition version that is being installedyou want to install. Once downloaded, extract its content to a suitable location.

Assumptions

There are a few assumptions been made when using terraform to create cluster resources:

  1. We assume that you have an existing parent domain i.e. , in the example below example.com, hosted on the same account as the cluster that we are going to create in the coming following section and that you wish want to access the cluster environment through via the hostname. Terraform will create a subdomain in the following format: <cluster_name>.<domain>.

    1. cluster name: uepe-eksoke

    2. domain: example.com

    3. final domain: uepe-eksoke.example.com

  2. In addition, we We also assume that terraform is allowed to add a NS (NameServer) record to the parent domain . This which is needed to allow DNS delegation from the parent domain to subdomain.

  3. Please note that in case your parent domain is not under the same account or your parent domain is hosted in another cloud provider, then you must set auto_create_ns_record to false in the terraform template to disable subdomain NS record auto creation in parent domain.

  4. The service hostname that created by Usage Engine Private Edition will be accessible in format <service_name>.<cluster_name>.<domain> i.e. desktop-online.uepe-eks.example.com.

  5. Terraform needs to persist the state of your provisioned infrastructure, by default the state file is stored locally on the computer that terraform is executed from. However if you have multiple person working on the infrastructure then it is recommended to store the state file on remote persistent such as S3 bucket, see https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/language/settings/backends/s3 for more information.

  6. We use the OCI File System service (NFS) as the default persistent storage for data needs to be persisted.

  7. We use the OCI Managed PostgreSQL service for Usage Engine Private Edition database.

Create Basic Cluster and additional infrastructure

The following steps explains how to create a basic Kubernetes cluster with public and private VPC:

  1. Go to <the location where you extracted the gcp.tar.gz file>/gcp/terraform and copy theterraform.tfvars.example to terraform.tfvars.

  2. Edit the terraform.tfvars file.

  3. Specify the desired cluster name, GCP region and kubernetes_version prefix (please refer to the Compatibility Matrix (4.1) to find out which Kubernetes versions that are compatible with this release of Usage Engine Private Edition). Also specify your GCP project id (which can be found on the GCP dashboard), as well as the desired number of nodes per region (gke_num_nodes).

  4. If you will be running with a database other than Derby also specify db_password, db_version and db_allocated_storage.

  1. Terraform needs to persist the state of your provisioned infrastructure. By default, the state file is stored locally on the computer that terraform is executed from. However, if multiple persons are working on the infrastructure, then it is recommended to store the state file using a remote persistence such as Object Storage, see https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/API/SDKDocs/terraformUsingObjectStore.htm for more information.

  2. The OCI File System service (NFS) is used as the default persistent storage for data that needs to be persisted.

  3. The OCI Managed PostgreSQL service is used as the Usage Engine Private Edition database.

  4. The user Principle is used throughout the entire installation. The user must prepare the private key file locally. The user can create and download the private key via the OCI console by selecting Profile | My Profile | API keys | Add API key.

Create Basic Cluster and additional infrastructure

To create a basic Kubernetes cluster with public and private VPC:

  1. Go to <folder where you extracted the oci.tar.gz file>/oci/terraform and copy theterraform.tfvars.example to terraform.tfvars.

  2. Edit the terraform.tfvars file.

  3. Specify the desired cluster name, OCI region and kubernetes_version (see Compatibility Matrix (4.2) to find out which Kubernetes versions that are compatible with this release of Usage Engine Private Edition). Specify your OCI tenancy_ocid, user_ocid, fingerprint, compartment_ocid and private_key_path (which can be found on the OCI dashboard’s Profile page), as well as the desired number of nodes per cluster (oke_num_nodes).

  4. If you are going to use another database than Derby, specify db_password, db_version and db_username.

terraform.tfvars

Where to get the value from?

tenancy_ocid

In the OCI management console, the tenancy_ocid is listed on Profile | Tenancy: <tenant-name> | Tenancy Details.

  • When the error above happened, you need to manually retrieve the name servers value from the created subdomain and add them to parent domain as NS record. If you are not using Route53 as the parent domain, please refer to your Domain Registrar documentation on how to add NS record.

  • Once NS record is added to the parent domain, go to AWS Console |  AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) and wait for the certificate status become verified. It will take 10-20 minutes.

You can check the status of the cluster, db and the other resources in the GCP dashboard.

Setup Additional Infrastructure Resources on AWS

At this stage, a basic Kubernetes cluster has been created. However, some additional infrastructure resources remain to be set up. Namely the following:

  • Hosted Zone (subdomain) for domain name.

  • ACM Certificate for the domain name (to be used with any load balancers).

  • KMS CMK key which is used for encryption at-rest for EFS, RDS and SSM.

  • EFS with security group in place.

  • RDS PostgreSQL with security group in place.

Follow these steps to set up the remaining infrastructure resources:

  1. Go to <the location where you extracted the aws.tar.gz file>/terraform

  2. Copy terraform.tf.vars.example to terraform.tfvars.

  3. Retrieve the following values from AWS Console and fill in the parameters in terraform.tfvars

An RDS PostgreSQL database instance is up and running on a private subnet VPC with default listening port 5432. The default database postgres is accessible within the cluster at end point db5j5pt3qwjqmmjgfremgugr7cxtsq-dbinstance-70c946d1330e.postgresql.eu-frankfurt-1.oc1.oraclecloud.com with admin username postgres.

You can see the status of the cluster, db and the other resources in the OCI dashboard.

Configure Cluster Access

To configure cluster access, run the following command:

Code Block
languagebash
oci ce cluster create-kubeconfig --cluster-id <cluster ocid> --file ./kubeconfig.yaml --region eu-frankfurt-1 --token-version 2.0.0  --kube-endpoint PUBLIC_ENDPOINT

A ./kubeconfig.yaml file containing information on how to connect to your newly created cluster will be generated. Set the KUBECONFIG environment variable to point to that file by running the following command:

Code Block
export KUBECONFIG=<full path to ./kubeconfig.yaml>

This will ensure that tools like kubectl and helm will connect to your newly created cluster.

You can check the status of the cluster nodes by running the following command:

Code Block
kubectl get nodes

In this example cluster, the output will look something like this:

Code Block
