Prepare the contract¶
Ensure necessary environment variables are set¶
-
Go to a command prompt on your prep system
-
You should have each of these environment variables set on your prep system:
echo LAB_WORKDIR is ${LAB_WORKDIR} echo LAB_TAR is ${LAB_TAR} echo LOG_INGESTION_KEY is ${LOG_INGESTION_KEY} echo LOG_HOSTNAME is ${LOG_HOSTNAME}
If any of the above commands do not display a value after the is then revisit the section on setting environment variables.
Make a new directory hierarchy for Lab 2¶
-
Make a fresh directory structure and change in to it:
mkdir -p ${LAB_WORKDIR}/lab2/workload/play && cd ${LAB_WORKDIR}/lab2
Create a Pod descriptor to specify the application workload¶
-
Switch to the directory that will hold a Pod descriptor:
cd workload/play
-
Create the Pod descriptor::
cat << EOF > play.yml play: resources: - apiVersion: v1 kind: Pod metadata: name: busybox spec: containers: - name: main image: docker.io/library/busybox@sha256:3614ca5eacf0a3a1bcc361c939202a974b4902b9334ff36eb29ffe9011aaad83 command: ["/bin/sh", "-c"] args: - mkdir -p /data/cloudlabs ; env | tee -a /data/cloudlabs/env.out ; cat /data/cloudlabs/env.out ; head -20 /data/cloudlabs/env.out ; head -20 /data/cloudlabs/greetings.out ; tail -20 /data/cloudlabs/greetings.out ; while true ; do echo Hi \${name:-World} the time is \$(date) | tee -a /data/cloudlabs/greetings.out ; sleep \${interval:-60} ; done envFrom: - configMapRef: name: contract.config.map optional: false volumeMounts: - mountPath: /data name: data-vol readOnly: false restartPolicy: Never volumes: - hostPath: path: /mnt/data type: Directory name: data-vol EOF
-
Display the file's content.
cat play.yml
-
Optional. This command will show that you are indeed using the same pod descriptor in this lab (lab2) as you did in the previous lab (lab1). We could have had you just copy that file over instead of using the cat command in the prior step.
diff --report-identical-files \ ${LAB_WORKDIR}/lab1/play/play.yml \ ${LAB_WORKDIR}/lab2/workload/play/play.yml
-
Change to the directory one level higher than your current location (and display it):
cd .. && pwd
Create encrypted workload section of the contract¶
-
Create this convenience script to encrypt the workload portion of the contract:
cat << EOF > flow.workload # Create the workload section of the contract and add the contents in the workload.yaml file. WORKLOAD_PLAIN=./workload.yaml.plaintext WORKLOAD=workload.yaml echo " type: workload volumes: data: filesystem: ext4 mount: /mnt/data seed: seed-supplied-by-workload-persona \$(cat play/play.yml)" > \${WORKLOAD_PLAIN} # Download certificate to encrypt contract for Hyper Protect Container Runtime: HPCR_rev=13 CONTRACT_KEY=./ibm-hyper-protect-container-runtime-1-0-s390x-\${HPCR_rev}-encrypt.crt curl https://cloud.ibm.com/media/docs/downloads/hyper-protect-container-runtime/ibm-hyper-protect-container-runtime-1-0-s390x-\${HPCR_rev}-encrypt.crt > \${CONTRACT_KEY} # Use the following command to create a random password: PASSWORD_WORKLOAD="\$(openssl rand 32 | base64 \${LAB_WRAP})" # Use the following command to encrypt password with the Hyper Protect Container Runtime Contract Encryption Key: ENCRYPTED_WORKLOAD_PASSWORD="\$(echo -n "\$PASSWORD_WORKLOAD" | base64 -d | openssl rsautl -encrypt -inkey \$CONTRACT_KEY -certin | base64 \${LAB_WRAP})" # Use the following command to encrypt the workload.yaml file with a random password: ENCRYPTED_WORKLOAD="\$(echo -n "\$PASSWORD_WORKLOAD" | base64 -d | openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -pbkdf2 -pass stdin -in "\$WORKLOAD_PLAIN" | base64 \${LAB_WRAP})" # Use the following command to get the encrypted section of the contract: WORKLOAD_ENCRYPTED="hyper-protect-basic.\${ENCRYPTED_WORKLOAD_PASSWORD}.\${ENCRYPTED_WORKLOAD}" echo "" echo "See `pwd`/workload.yaml.plaintext to see what was encrypted for the workload section of your contract" echo "" echo "\$WORKLOAD_ENCRYPTED" > ../\$WORKLOAD EOF
-
Run the script you just created:
. ./flow.workload
-
Back up one directory:
cd ..
-
Display the encrypted workload section you just created:
cat workload.yaml
Add a plaintext environment section to the encrypted workload section¶
-
This command combines the workload section (which is encrypted) with a plain text environment section. The contract is the output file, user_data.yaml.
cat << EOF > user_data.yaml workload: $(cat workload.yaml) env: | type: env logging: logDNA: hostname: ${LOG_HOSTNAME} ingestionKey: ${LOG_INGESTION_KEY} port: 6514 volumes: data: seed: seed-supplied-by-env-persona env: name: Lab 2 Student interval: "30" EOF
-
Display your contract data:
cat user_data.yaml
Proceed to the next section to create your Hyper Protect Virtual Server for VPC instance.
