The idea behind this repo was to make it super easy to spin up a Azure Orkestra.
This will work both locally or on Azure as it based on cloud-init
When running the server locally you will need to install multipass.
This is an open source project from canonical which will work on Windows, MacOS and Linux. So what ever you OS you choose to develop on multipass will have you covered. This is the only dependency of the project.
Once multipass is installed just run the following
curl -L -o cloud-init.yaml 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/scotty-c/orkestra-dev/main/cloud-init.yaml'
multipass launch --name orkestra --cpus 2 --mem 4G --disk 20G --cloud-init cloud-init.yaml
Under the hood we are spinning up a new Ubuntu server for the control plane we are going to use microk8s. This will give us a super light control plane to use to deploy Orkestra.
There is a known issue that you might get the following error when deploying this locally
launch failed: The following errors occurred:
timed out waiting for initialization to complete
This is ok, the installation will continue inside the server. We can check this by tailing the logs but first we need to access the servers shell.
To do this we just issue the command multipass shell orkestra
You will be greeted with the following MOTD
To follow the logs tail -f output.txt
Once everything is installed you can check your pods with
kubectl get pods --all-namespaces
To run this on Azure we will use exactly the same code. We will make the assumption that you have the Azure cli that is signed into to your subscription.
Then just run the script ./deploy-azure.sh
The script will ask you a couple of questions
Enter the subscription to use:
Enter the resource group for the vm:
Enter the name for the vm:
Then print out the instructions to access the server.
Once you have access to the servers shell just tail -f output.txt
The MOTD will give you the rest of the instructions.
A big thanks goes to Aaron Wislang for some the original code and ideas that I implemented in this repo :)
