Want to deploy on Kubernetes cluster instead?

There are two flavours of Control Plane deployments - Remote and Kubernetes. This guide will focus on deploying a Remote Control Plane on a single Linux remote host. Go to Kubernetes - Prepare A Cluster to deploy the Control Plane on Kubernetes Cluster instead.

Remote Host - Deploy Control Plane

Every Edge Compute Network ('ECN') starts with a Control Plane that allows us to manage ECN's resources.

In this guide, our Control Plane will deploy a single Controller instance on a remote host.

We use YAML to define ioFog resources

The following procedures will define resources in YAML for potctl to consume. Specification of those YAML resources can be found here.

Prepare your Keycloak Realms for Datasance PoT

We recommened going through the Keycloak Installation Guide before continuing on here.

Deploy a Control Plane on a Remote Host​

Create a template of controlplane.yaml like so:

echo "---
apiVersion: datasance.com/v3
kind: ControlPlane
metadata:
  name: albatros
spec:
  iofogUser:
    name: Foo
    surname: Bar
    email: user@domain.com
    password: iht234g9afhe
  auth:
    url: https://example.com/
    realm: realm-name
    realmKey: realm-key
    ssl: exter
    controllerClient: pot-controller
    controllerSecret:
    viewerClient: ecn-viewer
  controllers:
  - name: alpaca-1
    host: 38.101.23.2
    ssh:
      user: bar
      keyFile: ~/.ssh/id_rsa" > /tmp/controlplane.yaml

Make sure to edit the host, ssh.user, and ssh.keyFile fields to correspond with the remote host we are deploying to.

Once we have edited the fields to our liking, go ahead and run:

potctl deploy -f /tmp/controlplane.yaml

Verify the Deployment​

We can use the following commands to verify the Control Plane is up and running:

potctl get controllers
potctl describe controller alpaca-1
potctl describe controlplane
Where to go from here?

Having our Control Plane up and running, we can now go to Setup Agents guide to deploy our Agents and finalize the ECN deployment.
