Logging in to DevInt Cluster

GitHub Team Membership

Access to the cluster is controlled by membership in the cluster-devint team of the openshift-knative GitHub Organization. Every new user will need to get invited to this team.

Create an issue at https://github.com/openshift-knative/cluster-devint/issues to request access to this team and someone will invite you. A simple description such as "I work on the foo team at Red Hat and would like access to the openshift-knative devint cluster" will be enough for most cases. A human will verify your provided details before approval.

Web Console Access

Go to https://console-openshift-console.apps.devint.openshiftknativedemo.org and choose the github identity provider. Do the login dance with your GitHub account.

Command Line Access

After logging in to the web console, click the dropdown arrow next to your name in the top right corner and click "Copy Login Command". That will redirect you to another page where you click "Display Token" and the correct oc login command will be shown for your user.

Using the DevInt Cluster

Create a new project after logging in and deploy what you need. This is a shared cluster and does not have unlimited resources, so play nicely.

Suggesting changes to the DevInt Cluster

The entire cluster is managed via Argo CD from this repository. If you'd like a new operator installed on the cluster or anything else that needs cluster administrator permission to do, file an issue or PR in this repo with the desired change and someone will merge it after reviewing.

Once merged the change will be live on the cluster within a few minutes.

DevInt Cluster Creation (only relevant for operations)

Configure AWS CLI to use installer IAM credentials

aws configure --profile openshiftknativedemo-installer
AWS Access Key ID [None]: *****
AWS Secret Access Key [None]: *****
Default region name [None]: us-west-2
Default output format [None]:

Create cluster

Using openshift-install 4.1.16, create the install config:

mkdir -p ~/Documents/openshift_clusters
cd ~/Documents/openshift_clusters

export AWS_PROFILE=openshiftknativedemo-installer

openshift-install create install-config --dir devint-openshiftknativedemo

For both control plane and compute nodes, set instance size to m5.xlarge:

  platform:
    aws:
      type: m5.xlarge

Now actually create the cluster:

openshift-install create cluster --dir devint-openshiftknativedemo --log-level info

Populate Secrets

Download bitwarden CLI from https://help.bitwarden.com/article/cli/#download--install

Login to bitwarden the first time you use it:

bw login [email protected] password

Unlock the session and optionally pull the latest secrets if things have changed

export BW_SESSION=$(bw unlock password --raw)
bw sync # only needed if secrets updated server-side
./populate-secrets-from-bitwarden.sh

Install Argo CD

oc create namespace argocd
oc apply -n argocd -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v1.2.2/manifests/install.yaml

download the argocd CLI from https://github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/releases/tag/v1.2.2

Create the cluster-setup application to seed the cluster

oc apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openshift-knative/cluster-devint/c216b1ea884f0ff9dd9e91635d81c5c5ee35c285/seed.yaml

Verify the cluster-setup application synced successfully

oc port-forward svc/argocd-server -n argocd 8080:443
argocd login localhost:8080 --insecure --username admin --password $(oc get pods -n argocd -l app.kubernetes.io/name=argocd-server -o name | cut -d'/' -f 2)

# make sure health status is healthy and sync status is synced
argocd app get cluster-setup
