# First steps with Constellation
|
|
|
|
The following steps guide you through the process of creating a cluster and deploying a sample app. This example assumes that you have successfully [installed and set up Constellation](install.md),
|
|
and have access to a cloud subscription.
|
|
|
|
:::tip
|
|
If you don't have a cloud subscription, you can also set up a [local Constellation cluster using virtualization](../getting-started/first-steps-local.md) for testing.
|
|
:::
|
|
|
|
:::note
|
|
If you encounter any problem with the following steps, make sure to use the [latest release](https://github.com/edgelesssys/constellation/releases/latest) and check out the [known issues](https://github.com/edgelesssys/constellation/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22known+issue%22).
|
|
:::
|
|
|
|
## Create a cluster
|
|
|
|
1. Create the [configuration file](../workflows/config.md) and state file for your cloud provider.
|
|
|
|
<Tabs groupId="csp">
|
|
<TabItem value="aws" label="AWS">
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
constellation config generate aws
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
</TabItem>
|
|
<TabItem value="azure" label="Azure">
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
constellation config generate azure
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
</TabItem>
|
|
<TabItem value="gcp" label="GCP">
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
constellation config generate gcp
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
</TabItem>
|
|
<TabItem value="stackit" label="STACKIT">
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
constellation config generate stackit
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
</TabItem>
|
|
</Tabs>
|
|
|
|
2. Create your [IAM configuration](../workflows/config.md#creating-an-iam-configuration).
|
|
|
|
<Tabs groupId="csp">
|
|
<TabItem value="aws" label="AWS">
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
constellation iam create aws --zone=us-east-2a --prefix=constellTest --update-config
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This command creates IAM configuration for the AWS zone `us-east-2a` using the prefix `constellTest` for all named resources being created. It also updates the configuration file `constellation-conf.yaml` in your current directory with the IAM values filled in.
|
|
|
|
Depending on the attestation variant selected on config generation, different regions are available.
|
|
AMD SEV-SNP machines (requires the default attestation variant `awsSEVSNP`) are currently available in the following regions:
|
|
* `eu-west-1`
|
|
* `us-east-2`
|
|
|
|
You can find a list of regions that support AMD SEV-SNP in [AWS's documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/snp-requirements.html).
|
|
|
|
NitroTPM machines (requires the attestation variant `awsNitroTPM`) are available in all regions.
|
|
Constellation OS images are currently replicated to the following regions:
|
|
* `eu-central-1`
|
|
* `eu-west-1`
|
|
* `eu-west-3`
|
|
* `us-east-2`
|
|
* `ap-south-1`
|
|
|
|
If you require the OS image to be available in another region, [let us know](https://github.com/edgelesssys/constellation/issues/new?assignees=&labels=&template=feature_request.md&title=Support+new+AWS+image+region:+xx-xxxx-x).
|
|
|
|
You can find a list of all [regions in AWS's documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/using-regions-availability-zones.html#concepts-available-regions).
|
|
|
|
</TabItem>
|
|
<TabItem value="azure" label="Azure">
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
constellation iam create azure --region=westus --resourceGroup=constellTest --servicePrincipal=spTest --update-config
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This command creates IAM configuration on the Azure region `westus` creating a new resource group `constellTest` and a new service principal `spTest`. It also updates the configuration file `constellation-conf.yaml` in your current directory with the IAM values filled in.
|
|
|
|
CVMs are available in several Azure regions. Constellation OS images are currently replicated to the following:
|
|
|
|
* `germanywestcentral`
|
|
* `westus`
|
|
* `eastus`
|
|
* `northeurope`
|
|
* `westeurope`
|
|
* `southeastasia`
|
|
|
|
If you require the OS image to be available in another region, [let us know](https://github.com/edgelesssys/constellation/issues/new?assignees=&labels=&template=feature_request.md&title=Support+new+Azure+image+region:+xx-xxxx-x).
|
|
|
|
You can find a list of all [regions in Azure's documentation](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/global-infrastructure/services/?products=virtual-machines®ions=all).
|
|
|
|
</TabItem>
|
|
<TabItem value="gcp" label="GCP">
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
constellation iam create gcp --projectID=yourproject-12345 --zone=europe-west2-a --serviceAccountID=constell-test --update-config
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This command creates IAM configuration in the GCP project `yourproject-12345` on the GCP zone `europe-west2-a` creating a new service account `constell-test`. It also updates the configuration file `constellation-conf.yaml` in your current directory with the IAM values filled in.
|
|
|
|
Note that only regions offering CVMs of the `C2D` or `N2D` series are supported. You can find a [list of all regions in Google's documentation](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/regions-zones#available), which you can filter by machine type `C2D` or `N2D`.
|
|
|
|
</TabItem>
|
|
<TabItem value="stackit" label="STACKIT">
|
|
|
|
To use Constellation on STACKIT, the cluster will use the User Access Token (UAT) that's generated [during the install step](./install.md).
|
|
After creating the accounts, fill in the STACKIT details in `constellation-conf.yaml` under `provider.openstack`:
|
|
|
|
* `stackitProjectID`: STACKIT project id (can be found after login on the [STACKIT portal](https://portal.stackit.cloud))
|
|
|
|
</TabItem>
|
|
</Tabs>
|
|
|
|
:::tip
|
|
To learn about all options you have for managing IAM resources and Constellation configuration, see the [Configuration workflow](../workflows/config.md).
|
|
:::
|
|
|
|
<!--
|
|
:::info
|
|
|
|
In case you don't have access to CVMs on Azure, you may use less secure [trusted launch VMs](../workflows/trusted-launch.md) instead. For this, set **confidentialVM** to `false` in the configuration file.
|
|
|
|
:::
|
|
-->
|
|
|
|
3. Create the cluster. `constellation apply` uses options set in `constellation-conf.yaml`.
|
|
If you want to manually manage your cloud resources, for example by using [Terraform](../reference/terraform.md), follow the corresponding instructions in the [Create workflow](../workflows/create.md).
|
|
|
|
:::tip
|
|
|
|
On Azure, you may need to wait 15+ minutes at this point for role assignments to propagate.
|
|
|
|
:::
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
constellation apply -y
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This should look similar to the following:
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
$ constellation apply -y
|
|
Checking for infrastructure changes
|
|
The following Constellation cluster will be created:
|
|
3 control-plane nodes of type n2d-standard-4 will be created.
|
|
1 worker node of type n2d-standard-4 will be created.
|
|
Creating
|
|
Cloud infrastructure created successfully
|
|
Your Constellation master secret was successfully written to ./constellation-mastersecret.json
|
|
Connecting
|
|
Initializing cluster
|
|
Installing Kubernetes components
|
|
Your Constellation cluster was successfully initialized.
|
|
|
|
Constellation cluster identifier g6iMP5wRU1b7mpOz2WEISlIYSfdAhB0oNaOg6XEwKFY=

|
|
|
|
You can now connect to your cluster by executing:
|
|
export KUBECONFIG="$PWD/constellation-admin.conf"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The cluster's identifier will be different in your output.
|
|
Keep `constellation-mastersecret.json` somewhere safe.
|
|
This will allow you to [recover your cluster](../workflows/recovery.md) in case of a disaster.
|
|
|
|
:::info
|
|
|
|
Depending on your CSP and region, `constellation apply` may take 10+ minutes to complete.
|
|
|
|
:::
|
|
|
|
4. Configure kubectl.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
export KUBECONFIG="$PWD/constellation-admin.conf"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Deploy a sample application
|
|
|
|
1. Deploy the [emojivoto app](https://github.com/BuoyantIO/emojivoto)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
kubectl apply -k github.com/BuoyantIO/emojivoto/kustomize/deployment
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Expose the frontend service locally
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
kubectl wait --for=condition=available --timeout=60s -n emojivoto --all deployments
|
|
kubectl -n emojivoto port-forward svc/web-svc 8080:80 &
|
|
curl http://localhost:8080
|
|
kill %1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Terminate your cluster
|
|
|
|
Use the CLI to terminate your cluster. If you manually used [Terraform](../reference/terraform.md) to manage your cloud resources, follow the corresponding instructions in the [Terminate workflow](../workflows/terminate.md).
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
constellation terminate
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This should give the following output:
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
$ constellation terminate
|
|
You are about to terminate a Constellation cluster.
|
|
All of its associated resources will be DESTROYED.
|
|
This action is irreversible and ALL DATA WILL BE LOST.
|
|
Do you want to continue? [y/n]:
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Confirm with `y` to terminate the cluster:
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
Terminating ...
|
|
Your Constellation cluster was terminated successfully.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Optionally, you can also [delete your IAM resources](../workflows/config.md#deleting-an-iam-configuration).
