Overview

This actions will handle provision RHELServer machines on dedicated hosts. This is a requisite to run nested virtualization on AWS.

As a special case it offers the profileSNC option if that flag is set the instance will setup all requirements to run single node cluster builder process

Create

qenvs aws rhel create -h
create

Usage:
  qenvs aws rhel create [flags]

Flags:
      --airgap                            if this flag is set the host will be created as airgap machine. Access will done through a bastion
      --conn-details-output string        path to export host connection information (host, username and privateKey)
  -h, --help                              help for create
      --rh-subscription-password string   password to register the subscription
      --rh-subscription-username string   username to register the subscription
      --snc                               if this flag is set the RHEL will be setup with SNC profile. Setting up all requirements to run https://github.com/crc-org/snc
      --spot                              if this flag is set the host will be created only on the region set by the AWS Env (AWS_DEFAULT_REGION)
      --tags stringToString               tags to add on each resource (--tags name1=value1,name2=value2) (default [])
      --version string                    version for the RHEL OS (default "9.3")

Global Flags:
      --backed-url string     backed for stack state. Can be a local path with format file:///path/subpath or s3 s3://existing-bucket
      --project-name string   project name to identify the instance of the stack

Outputs

  • It will crete an instance and will give as result several files located at path defined by --conn-details-output:

    • host: host for the windows machine (lb if spot)
    • username: username to connect to the machine
    • id_rsa: private key to connect to machine
    • bastion_host: host for the bastion (airgap)
    • bastion_username: username to connect to the bastion (airgap)
    • bastion_id_rsa: private key to connect to the bastion (airgap)

  • Also it will create a state folder holding the state for the created resources at azure, the path for this folder is defined within --backed-url, the content from that folder it is required with the same project name (--project-name) in order to detroy the resources.

Container

When running the container image it is required to pass the authetication information as variables(to setup AWS credentials there is a helper script), following a sample snipped on how to create an instance with default values:

podman run -d --name qenvs-rhel \
        -v ${PWD}:/workspace:z \
        -e AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=XXX \
        -e AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=XXX \
        -e AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=us-east-1 \
        quay.io/rhqp/qenvs:0.6.0 aws rhel create \
            --project-name qenvs-rhel \
            --backed-url file:///workspace \
            --rh-subscription-password XXXX \
            --rh-subscription-username XXXXX \
            --conn-details-output /workspace
