From YouTube: OpenShift on Azure

Description

In this talk at the OpenShift partner theater from Red Hat Summit 2018, Harold Wong and Jim Zimmerman from Microsoft walk through the newly announced OpenShift on Azure service.

A

All right good morning and welcome to the open shift on Azure session here in the pavilion or the partner theater here my name is Harold Wong I'm with Microsoft and I am part of the team that manages the global partnership with Red Hat, and we do a lot of work with red hat on open shift running in Azure I'm gonna hand it over to my teammate Jim for him to introduce himself.

B

Hello, everyone sorry I just had to say it yeah. My name is Jim Zirin, I'm principal se, and Microsoft I'm helping lead the managed open shift, offering that we announced yesterday at the keynote and I figured I'd go over a few things that we covered yesterday for those that missed its, we announced the jointly managed open shift on Azure. So basically, this is gonna be managed by both Red Hat and Microsoft as a first-party service.

B

So you'll get you know better supports and you'll be able to provision things very quickly. We also have Windows container support an open shift as a private preview.

B

Patrick did that and then we also have open ship support and Azure stack and so Harold's gonna show a demo of that working. It's pretty cool for those of you that you want to run a private cloud on Prem and then, lastly, we'll we'll go over the open service broker for a sure that runs on open ships. So basically it's service broker is a way to provision as your first party services from within open shift.

B

There are a few things.

A

Ok, so I figured we kind of walk through some of the deployment options, because if you are super interested in the managed or jointly managed open chef offering and azure, it is only in private preview. Even the the windows container support in open shift is preview right, so they're not GA. Yet so, if you want to be running open shift and as you today, what are your options, and so we have different ways that you can test out. You try out openshift and Azure. There's something called a test-drive.

A

So if you don't have open shift already, maybe you don't even own a sure all right, but you're interested in running and trying it out for four hours. You can go to our website to the marketplace. Website do a search for OpenShift. You can find the test drive and then you can deploy it. You don't have no accounts necessary. Just your email, it'll run for four hours. You'll have the ability to test it out, run it see how it works.

A

If you like it, then you can contact Microsoft, and/or, a Red, Hat and kind of get going. The other one is, if you already own a sure you already own OpenShift, and you want to deploy it easily into the azure environment. You can go to the azure marketplace once again and there is an offer there, where you answer some questions.

A

Input in your Red Hat subscription information, whether it's your user name password or activation key org ID, as well as your Apple ID, and then it will go, deploy a open chef cluster for you. It will have three master nodes, three infra nodes, and then you get to select how many app nodes that you want to deploy all right. So then you wait about an hour 45 minutes to an hour or so and come back and you'll. Have your 10, no 20 node cluster up and running ready to go all right.

A

Another way to deploy things is, if you don't want that opinionated install, but you want to install a open chef cluster with your own parameters. We do have what we called our resource manager templates right, arm templates that are available. There's the arm templates directly from Red Hat. That's part of the reference architecture.

A

We also have we being Microsoft or me: Harold's have github repos on the github comm Microsoft, and then we have openshift origin and open chef container platform repos so that you can actually go deploy your own cluster and have the ability to customize different things like oh I want I, don't care about a che right now. I only want to deploy a simple cluster to test out something, so you can select one master, one infra, node and app node I want to deploy metrics or I. Don't want to deploy metrics right.

A

So there's a bunch of configuration options that you have in terms of deploying using these templates. The other thing you could also do right flexibility options. You can go, deploy your own VMs into Azure by the way that arm template deploys all the VMS, for you sets up all the storage, all the networking right everything so that when the template is done, you have a fully functional cluster. The other option is to use ansible playbooks natively. So you just want to deploy everything yourself.

A

You can create your own ansible playbook set, deploy the azure VMs deploys the V Nets, the networking and everything or you can deploy somehow deploy all the VMS and the infrastructure in Azure and then run the ansible playbooks to install OpenShift. So there is all kinds of options available. The last one is the one that will be coming soon right: the ability to use that managed OpenShift, and at that point you can use the azure CLI right.

A

If you were at the keynote with Scott, Guthrie and Brendan yesterday, then you saw that you could do a Z openshift, create write and literally create an open chef cluster using the azure CLI command that process. Hopefully, by the time at GA, s will take like five to ten minutes to deploy a fully functional, 10-20-30 node cluster, all right so that that's exciting all right. So that's all we really have in terms of slides.

A

What we really wanted to do was do demos and then also get questions or you know, answer your questions. So if you have questions for the few of you that are here, feel free to ask and we'll take those questions.

A

So what I have up and running right now is multiple open shift environments. I've got open shift. Origin I also have open shift container platform running and what I'll show you first is in my Asha portal. So this is my ad report. All I've got an environment that has quite a few disks, a bunch of VMs that host my cluster.

A

So if we come over here and look, you can see what at about a ten node cluster or something like that mashers in four nodes, app nodes and that cluster right now is this cluster, so I've logged into the cluster already just to save time kind of hard to hold a mic and type too much stuff all at the same time. But the key here that I wanted to show is integration with Azure alright. So if I wanted to deploy an application that uses persistent storage, where does that persistent storage get created right?

A

Is it ether? Is it out in outer space? No, it's a using Azure disks. So what I want to do right here is: let's just create a new project, we'll call it demo and.

A

Then, if I go to this demo, project will create just something simple right: I, don't want to do something that takes too long. There is this cakephp example real simple: if I do cakephp my sequel step through this and just let it go, create, go to overview you'll, see that this is starting to spin up a my sequel database. But if I look at storage, it is trying to provision storage, a PVC called MySQL.

A

Ultimately, that will generate a disk in Azure that gets mounted to the VM and I just want to quickly show that so, hopefully this won't take too long for it to provision.

A

A

Storage sure it's not gonna work fast when I'm trying to do a demo right.

A

While we're waiting are there any questions.

A

Okay, so, while we're waiting for that to create I'll show you as your stack as well right so I've had I, have an azure stack environment, we'll ignore that failure. One but I have open shift origin running an azure stack. You can see. This is in my outer stack environment. It's not in Azure fall, but I've got an Origin cluster, that's deployed over there and if I come back over here, this other tab has origin and you can see it does say: open shift origin.

A

If you look at the URL, it is pointing to cloud app thought stack, POC com, so it is not an azure like as a commercial environment right. Otherwise it would look like a cloud app, Asia, calm, but same similar concept. Here, if I show you actually I probably should.

A

So what I have over here in this particular environment is CNS right. So I've got cloud native storage integrated with this cluster, because in Azure stack today the cloud provider does not function so I can't do disk attached, but I do need persistent storage. So if I want to run persistent storage, you can deploy CNS as part of your origin or container platform cluster and, if you're doing container platform, one of the things that I think was announced or will be announced this week, because it's already working is your open ship entitlements.

A

If you're doing CNS also include CNS, so your Gluster entitlements are part of your open ship entitlements. You don't have to buy Gluster separately, I!

A

Think that's cool, yeah I, don't know if it's announced, but it's working because I did deploy it and it does work. It didn't ask me for my entitlements. All right, so I'll go back to my container platform and you can see that it provisioned a PVC and can you hold the control key down?

A

Thank you hard to hard to do two things with one hand holding a mic. But if you look here, there is a PVC. If you look at the name of that PVC right, it's a four to four a something and ends in a DC. If I go back to my portal over here and go back up where the disks are, let me refresh this real fast.

A

We ought to be able to see a disc called kubernetes PVC.

A

What was it for for ending an ADC right so that disc got created automatically on the back end and was mounted to a VM called, so it got mounted to node one right and that's the one that then is running this particular workload. So if you look you'll see that the the pod is spinning up and if we wait another minute or so I'm sure that thing will go live right, but in alger stack because we don't have access to the cloud provider we're using CNS, so you can deploy CNS. The entitlements are automatically there.

A

Don't want to get too engrossed into that, but just want to make sure everybody understands you can or you do have. The flexibility of deploying OpenShift origin and container platform in Azure stack, as well as in Azure as a commercial Azure guv as your Germany right all the different sovereign clouds and take advantage of all the integrations with Azure or outer stack, and so I'll go ahead and turn this back over to Jim. To talk about some of the OspA integrations as well.

B

So we're probably the only people that know what owes but means and I noticed that on earth, our title it says owes but an open shift owes was open. Service broker for a sure is what it is. So every is anybody here familiar with the service, catalog and open shift. Ok, so, basically, what we did is we took our open service broker that works. It works in kubernetes, cloud, foundry and open shift same same binary basically, and we ported that to make it work with open shift and, as you can see here, we have.

B

We have about 15 services integrated down to O's Bob, and so you can see that here we have our cosmos DB service, our eyes, our database for my sequel, Postgres. These are really useful for those of you that don't want to manage data in a.

A

B

I don't know too many companies that actually want to manage their database inside of open shift or inside knitties. So this is really useful to be able to provision our first party services from within openshift, and then it automatically creates a connection string, a secret if you will for your developers to use inside of the cluster. So it's very easy to provision these services for your developers without them even having to call you up basically and say: oh, can you set me up a sequel server for me so anyway, I'm gonna.

B

Take you through a couple of these right now you see here we have you know, that's the sequel. Server I was talking about as your search service, bus I'll. Take you through a cosmos db1. This is one of our more popular ones.

B

The cosmos DB has different API shims on top of it, so you can do MongoDB graph, API table API I think we also have Cassandra coming to yeah I, think it's in private preview or whatever. But anyway you get the idea. So so I'm gonna go here and walk through this wizard. One thing I love about openshift is that it takes our metadata that we spit back to it and creates this awesome UI on the fly it makes. It makes O's, but look actually really good.

B

I'm gonna type with one hand, while I hold the mic.

B

All right so and then here we have this metadata that we spit back to the Service Catalog. That automatically creates these drop-down, so do I want to allow access or majeure I'm gonna go ahead and enable that allow access from the portal. These are just you know, different things that different parameters that we offer I could put in an IP range. So I only want I P to be able to access this service. I'm gonna just go ahead and exit out cuz I, don't need that and then I can say what location I want it.

B

So obviously I want it to be in the same region as my open chef cluster, so I'm gonna go ahead and put eCos and then, if I wanted, I could have a defined resource group. So I can put all my services in one area it's more for organizational purposes, but for here I'm not gonna, actually put a resource group in and then here this will create a binding. So once the service is actually provisioned, its gonna go create it. It's gonna create a binding. It's gonna grab all your connection.

B

String properties create a secret in the cluster and then that secret can be used by your applications, go ahead and no errors. That's awesome.

B

Yeah, that's weird I'm, a log didn't is you I was wondering why all my settings weren't there.

B

Yeah yeah, so this is the manage cluster. So right had open, shut down. Microsoft Azure is why you see that and it looks like the Internet's not being very friendly.

B

Yeah internet died. Awesome yeah. Are you connected to Wi-Fi yeah? It's it's dead, awesome all right.

A

B

Right cool, so maybe I pull up my iphone and will will show you how to connect to my hotspot here. Yeah everything went down. Okay,.

A

B

I can finish this. There wasn't really much more to show there, but anyway, so, what's going on the backgrounds, it created, the cosmos service created a secret, and then you can give that secret path to your developers to put in their pods back for their open, shipped deployment and then all of a sudden. Now when they deploy their app, they can use an actual first party service from the cluster instead of creating in our own no backup and I, don't know what I would really show any me.

B

All right, I, don't see the project here. Yeah so I may have any questions.

B

It may use Azure today all right. Okay, you don't count, you have to use it for your job and we use openshift okay same to people. This is weird, so if you don't use openshift, you probably didn't know about the Service Catalog, then right. So what I would say is when you do do look at using ownership.

B

The service catalogs awesome, because then your developers can actually provision services on their own and you don't have to manage it, so it makes it really useful than giving them the keys to like a sure, AWS or whatever you can control their access through OpenShift. It's actually pretty nice.

A

One interesting thing about that open service broker: Frazier is I'm running my origin cluster in my user stack right, I kind of mentioned that earlier I also installed the open service broker for Azure in my origin, cluster running on Azure stack and I can deploy Asha related services up in Azure. That connect with my containers or my pause that are running in cluster, so that integration in the hybrid model works very well as well, so we're just about out of time 50 seconds left any other questions or comments or jokes. You want to tell.

B

A

Right well, thank you very much for your time. You.
