provider-alibaba

Overview

provider-alibaba is the Crossplane infrastructure provider for Alibaba Cloud. The provider that is built from the source code in this repository can be installed into a Crossplane control plane and adds the following new functionality:

• Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) that model Alibaba Cloud infrastructure and services
• Controllers to provision these resources in Alibaba Cloud based on the users desired state captured in CRDs they create
• Implementations of Crossplane's portable resource abstractions, enabling Alibaba Cloud resources to fulfill a user's general need for cloud services

Getting Started

In the following, We will deploy flight tracker app using OAM and Alibaba RDS resource:

Make sure you have installed:

• kind
• kubectl
• helm

Then set up the environment on first trial:

helm repo add crossplane-master https://charts.crossplane.io/master/
git clone git@github.com:crossplane/addon-oam-kubernetes-local.git ../addon-oam-kubernetes-local
export ACCESS_KEY_ID=<your-access-key-id>
export ACCESS_KEY_SECRET=<your-access-key-secret>

Access key should be obtained via Alibaba cloud.

Then run command:

make demo

This will deploy the Crossplane, addon-oam-kubernetes-local, setting up cloud provider, and finally deploy an OAM app with a cloud RDS database.

Use the following script to wait until the database and the app has been deployed successfully and do port-forward:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

until kubectl port-forward deployment/web-ui 8080:8080 --address 0.0.0.0; do
  sleep 5
done

The demo app could be access at http://localhost:8080 .
