cloud-to-edge-vm

This role spins up a VM on a vCenter to serve as an edge VM for the cloud-to-edge deploy project.

Build Status

Requirements

This role assumes some variables are set from cloud-to-edge and is not really intended to run standalone.

Role Variables

The following configuration variables affect the operation of this role:

• govc_version version of the "govc" binary, a CLI tool to communicate with vCenter (default)
• govc_bindir path to look for govc (or place it if not found) (default)
• base_ova_name name of OVA to use as a base for Edge (default)
• base_ova_name_arm ARM architecture equivalent base OVA (default)
• base_ova_server web server from which to download base (default)
• base_ova_server_arm web server for ARM OVA (default)
• base_ova_origin Full base OVA (default)
• base_ova_origin_arm Full base ARM OVA (default)
• skyway_edge_vm_basename base name for VM, prefixed with group (default)
• skyway_edge_vm_user username created on the VM to run Edge (default)
• skyway_edge_vm_password password set for the user (default, generated if unset)
• skyway_edge_vm_network name of VM network to attach VM (default)
• skyway_edge_vm_ssh_priv_key SSH private key to assign to user (default)
• skyway_edge_vm_ssh_pub_key SSH pubic key corresponding to private key (default)
• skyway_edges list of Edge structured, see default/main.yml for sample values
• aws_greengrass_enable must be true if the Edge is to be an AWS Greengrass Core
• azure_iot_enable must be true if the Edge is to be an Azure IoT Edge
• greengrass_group_names list of Greengrass group names, must correspond to skyway_edge structures
• azure_iot_edge_names list of AWS Edge names, must correspond to skyway_edge structures

Dependencies

This role does not explicitly depend on any other roles, but it should logically be run after the cloud-to-edge roles have been run against the cloud to set up the Edge at the service provider.

Example Playbook

Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:

- hosts: c2e-driver
  roles:
     - { role: vmware.cloud-to-edge-vm }
