Support ibm-pak in place of cloudctl
Closed this issue · 0 comments
Ref: https://github.com/IBM/ibm-pak-plugin#overview
There'll be changes in case_prepare and case_mirror to achieve this, and at this point, we may even fold them into a single role perhaps seeing as ibm-pak is doing much of the prep for us now.
ibm-pak doesn't offer a built-in replacement for the excluded_images capability in our automation, so we'll need to retain some post-processing.
This should be a relatively straight-forward change. If we keep the roles as they are today it would be only a patch change, as we're not really changing anything about how the user interacts, if we go for a bigger change and consolidate the roles then it needs to be a major.
Example
Install
curl -L https://github.com/IBM/ibm-pak-plugin/releases/download/v1.2.0/oc-ibm_pak-linux-amd64.tar.gz -o oc-ibm_pak-linux-amd64.tar.gz
tar -xvf oc-ibm_pak-linux-amd64.tar.gz
mv oc-ibm_pak-linux-amd64 ~/bin/oc-ibm_pak
Prepare For Mirror
oc ibm-pak get ibm-mas --version 8.8.0
oc ibm-pak generate mirror-manifests ibm-mas $TARGET_REGISTRY --version 8.8.0
Mirror
Maybe we could do this in a loop in ansible (processing the same file) for better feedback to the user instead of launching a command that basically offers no status (in ansible) until it finishes, which could be hours!
oc image mirror \
-f ~/.ibm-pak/data/mirror/$CASE_NAME/$CASE_VERSION/images-mapping.txt \
--filter-by-os '.*' \
-a $REGISTRY_AUTH_FILE \
--insecure \
--skip-multiple-scopes \
--max-per-registry=1
When we do this, maybe we also look at supporting the mirror to filesystem / mirror from filesystem paradigm as well, we are focused on the bastion model for our initial Air gap launch
