| 0f4d08 | 2 | |
| 74d1f1 | 3 | > In this lab learners will use Ansible to drive automated provisioning of Projects, Access Control, Git, Jenkins and Nexus |
| D | 4 | |
| 5 | _____ | |
| 0f4d08 | 6 | |
| D | 7 | ## Learning Outcomes |
| 8 | As a learner you will be able to | |
| 74d1f1 | 9 | |
| D | 10 | 1. Run the OpenShift Applier to automate creating cluster content |
| 11 | 1. Create and admin project namespaces in OpenShift | |
| 12 | 1. Deploy commonly used applications to support the development process | |
| 0f4d08 | 13 | |
| D | 14 | ## Tools and Frameworks |
| 15 | ||
| 74d1f1 | 16 | * [GitLab](https://about.gitlab.com/) - Community driven Git server now with integrated DevOps Toolchain. |
| D | 17 | * [Nexus](https://www.sonatype.com/nexus-repository-sonatype) - Repository manager for storing lots of application types. Can also host `npm` and `Docker` registries. |
| 18 | * [Jenkins](https://jenkins.io/) - OpenSource Build automation server. Highly customisable with plugins. | |
| 19 | * [Ansible](https://www.ansible.com/) - IT Automation tool used to provision and manage state of cloud and physical infrastructure. | |
| 20 | * [OpenShift Applier](https://github.com/redhat-cop/openshift-applier) - Community driven Git server | |
| 0f4d08 | 21 | |
| 74d1f1 | 22 | ## Big Picture |
| D | 23 | This exercise begins with an empty Cluster |
| 24 | > TODO - add big picture here... | |

| D | 28 | ## 10,000 Ft View |
| 74d1f1 | 29 | > This lab is aimed at the creation of the tooling that will be used to support the rest of the Exercises. The highlevel goal is to create a collection of project namespaces and populate them with Git, Jenkins & Nexus. |
| D | 30 | |
| 31 | If you're feeling confident and don't want to follow the step-by-step guide these highlevel instructions should provide a challenge for you: | |
| 32 | ||
| 33 | 2. Clone the repo `git@github.com:rht-labs/enablement-ci-cd.git` which contains the scaffold of the project. | |
| 34 | 2. Create `<your-name>-ci-cd`, `<your-name>-dev` and `<your-name>-test` project namespaces using the inventory and run them with the OpenShift Applier to populate the cluster | |
| 35 | 2. Use the templates provided to create build and deployment configs in `<your-name>-ci-cd` for: | |
| 36 | * Nexus | |
| 37 | * GitLab | |
| 38 | * Jenkins | |
| 39 | 2. Commit your `enablement-ci-cd` repository to the GitLab Instance you've created | |
| 0f4d08 | 40 | |
| D | 41 | ## Step by Step Instructions |

| 0f4d08 | 43 | |
| bd7806 | 44 | ### Part 1 - Create OpenShift Projects |
| D | 45 | 3. Clone the scaffold project to your local machine and open it in your favourite editor. |
| 46 | ```bash | |
| 47 | git clone git@github.com:rht-labs/enablement-ci-cd.git | |
| 0f4d08 | 48 | ``` |
| D | 49 | |
| bd7806 | 50 | 3. The project is laid out as follows |
| D | 51 | ``` |
| 52 | . | |
| 53 | ├── README.md | |
| 54 | ├── docker | |
| 55 | │ └── jenkins-slave-node | |
| 56 | ├── inventory | |
| 57 | │ ├── group_vars | |
| 58 | │ │ └── all.yml | |
| 59 | │ └── hosts | |
| 60 | ├── jenkins-s2i | |
| 61 | │ ├── configuration | |
| 62 | ├── params | |
| 63 | │ └── project-requests-ci-cd | |
| 64 | ├── requirements.yml | |
| 65 | └── templates | |
| 66 | └── project-requests.yml | |
| 67 | ``` | |
| 68 | * `docker` folder contains our jenkins-slave images that will be used by the builds. | |
| 69 | * `jenkins-s2i` contains the configuration and plugins we want to bring jenkins to life with | |
| 70 | * `params` houses the variables we will load the templates with | |
| 71 | * `templates` is a collection of OpenShift templates | |
| 72 | * `inventory/group_vars/all.yml` is the collection of objects we want to insert into the cluster. | |
| 73 | * `requirements.yml` is a manifest which contains the ansible modules needed to run the playbook | |
| 74 | Open the `inventory/group_vars/all.yml` file; you should see a some variables setup to create the `ci-cd` namespace. This calls the `templates/project-requests.yml` template with the `params/project-requests-ci-cd` parameters. We will add some additional content here but first let's explore the parameters and the template | |
| 75 | ||
| 76 | 3. Open the `params/project-requests-ci-cd` and replace the `<your name or initials>` with your name to create the correstponding projects in the cluster. | |
| 77 |  | |
| 78 | ||
| 79 | 3. Create another two params files for `params/project-requests-dev` & `params/project-requests-test` and add the `NAMESPACE=<your name>-dev` && `NAMESPACE=<your name>-test` and update their Display names. | |
| 80 | ||
| 81 | 3. In the `inventory/group_vars/all.yml` file; add the new inventory items for the projects you want to create (dev & test) by adding another object to the content array. You can copy and paste them from the `ci-cd` example and update them accordingly eg | |
| 82 | ```yaml | |
| 83 | - name: <your name>-dev | |
| 84 | template: "{{ inventory_dir }}/../templates/project-requests.yml" | |
| 85 | template_action: create | |
| 86 | params: "{{ inventory_dir }}/../params/project-requests-dev" | |
| 87 | tags: | |
| 88 | - projects | |
| 89 | - name: <your name>-test | |
| 90 | template: "{{ inventory_dir }}/../templates/project-requests.yml" | |
| 91 | template_action: create | |
| 92 | params: "{{ inventory_dir }}/../params/project-requests-test" | |
| 93 | tags: | |
| 94 | - projects | |
| 95 | ``` | |
| da55a5 | 96 |  |
| bd7806 | 97 | |
| D | 98 | 3. With the configuration in place; install the OpenShift Applier dependency |
| 99 | ```bash | |
| 100 | $ ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml --roles-path=roles | |
| 101 | ``` | |
| 102 | ||
| 103 | 3. Apply the inventory by logging into OpenShift and then running | |
| 104 | ```bash | |
| 105 | $ oc login -p <password> -u <user> <cluster_url> | |
| 106 | $ ansible-playbook roles/casl-ansible/playbooks/openshift-cluster-seed.yml -i inventory/ | |
| 107 | ``` | |
| 108 | ||
| 109 | 3. Once successful you should see an output similar to this  | |
| 110 | ||
| 111 | ### Part 2 - Nexus and GitLab | |
| da55a5 | 112 | > _Now that we have our Projects setup; we can start to populate them with Apps to be used in our dev lifecycle_ |
| bd7806 | 113 | |
| da55a5 | 114 | 4. In the `enablement-ci-cd` repo, checkout the templates for GitLab and Nexus by running |
| D | 115 | ```bash |
| 116 | $ git checkout | |
| 117 | ``` | |
