Deploying a New Cluster on On-premises VirtualBox using Kubernetes

Files to Modify

Only Single zone deployment is supported for on-premises deployment.

After building the Mashery Local images, copy the /var/jenkins_home/tmgc-deploy folder in the tml-installer container to the desired host from where you want to run the deployment. If your build and deployment host are the same, the following sample command will copy the tmgc-deploy folder from the container to the current working directory on the local machine: 
docker cp tml-installer:/var/jenkins_home/tmgc-deploy .

Kubernetes Configuration

The On-premises deployment will create Virtual Box instances for each Kubernetes node.

The k8s cluster creation script creates one Kubernetes Master Node VM and the given number of worker VMs where ML containers will be deployed.

The Kubernetes master VM needs at least 2 GB of memory.

A Kubernetes worker Node VM needs at least 6 GB of memory for even the smallest deployment containing a single instance of each ML component.

So if you plan to create a cluster of 1 Kubernetes master VM and one Kubernetes worker VM, please plan for minimum 8GB of memory for the cluster to work properly.

Mashery Local Component configuration

The following settings can be customized. tml_image_tag must be updated to match your docker image build.

Setting up Mashery Service Configuration data

Mashery Local offers the option of importing service configuration data offline. A sample data.zip is provided with the TIBCO Mashery Local build that can be loaded into the database during TIBCO Mashery Local Cluster creation.

To load the sample data:
  1. Copy the sample data.zip (located at tmgc-deploy/sample_data/data.zip) into the tmgc-deploy/properties/ directory.
  2. This ensures that the data from the data.zip will be automatically loaded in the database when the TIBCO Mashery Local cluster is created.
Note: Make sure that the apiKey and apiSecret is empty in the tml_sql_properties.json in the tmgc-deploy/properties/ folder if you want to use the offline data loading feature. Default is blank.
TIBCO Mashery Local also offers the capability to sync data from an active MoM host at the time of cluster creation. To load the data using the MoM sync configuration, please specify the following three properties in the tml_sql_properties.json: 
"mom-host": "<MOM_HOST>",
"apiKey": "<MOM_API_KEY>",
"apiSecret": "<MOM_API_SECRET>",
The tml_sql_properties.json is located in the tmgc-deploy/properties/ folder.
Note: Do not place the sample data.zip in the tmgc-deploy/properties/ folder if you are loading the data using the MoM sync configuration.
