Build Anthos Application Development platform with all feature and components on Google Cloud Platform

Pre-requistes

1. Install Google Cloud SDK
2. Install Terraform
3. Active Anthos trial license

Steps to deploy the platform:

Components and features : Google Kubernetes Engine, Anthos Config Management, Anthos Config Connector,

1. Clone this repo

2. Set variables that will be used in multiple commands:

   FOLDER_ID = [FOLDER]
   BILLING_ACCOUNT = [BILLING_ACCOUNT]
   PROJECT_ID = [PROJECT_ID]

3. Create project:

   gcloud auth login
   gcloud projects create $PROJECT_ID --name=$PROJECT_ID --folder=$FOLDER_ID
   gcloud alpha billing projects link $PROJECT_ID --billing-account $BILLING_ACCOUNT
   gcloud config set project $PROJECT_ID

4. Create cluster using terraform using defaults other than the project:

   # obtain user access credentials to use for Terraform commands
   gcloud auth application-default login
   
   # continue in /terraform directory
   cd terraform
   export TF_VAR_project_id=$PROJECT_ID
   terraform init
   terraform plan
   terraform apply

   NOTE: if you get an error due to default network not being present, run gcloud compute networks create default --subnet-mode=auto and retry the commands.

5. To verify things have sync'ed, you can use gcloud to check status:

   gcloud alpha container hub config-management status --project $PROJECT_ID

   In the output, notice that the Status will eventually show as SYNCED and the Last_Synced_Token will match the repo hash.

6. To see wordpress itself, you can use the kubectl proxy to connect to the service:

   # get values from cluster that was created
   
   
   # then get creditials for it and proxy to the wordpress service to see it running
   gcloud container clusters get-credentials $CLUSTER_NAME --zone $CLUSTER_ZONE --project $PROJECT_ID
   kubectl proxy --port 8888 &
   
   # curl or use the browser
   curl http://127.0.0.1:8888/api/v1/namespaces/wp/services/wordpress/proxy/wp-admin/install.php
   

7. Finally, let's clean up. First, don't forget to foreground the proxy again to kill it. Also, apply terraform destroy to remove the GCP resources that were deployed to the project.

    fg # ctrl-c
   
    terraform destroy -var=project=$PROJECT_ID
