1.8. Provision Containers

Provisioning containers
Copy link

All of the prerequisites are now in place for provisioning Red Hat JBoss Fuse containers in the cloud. After joining your local container to the fabric (which enables you to administer the fabric remotely), you can provision a new container in the cloud by entering a single console command.

Create container and deploy profile in one step

If you already know what profiles you want to deploy in the new containers, the most efficient approach is to create the compute instances and specify the profiles all in the same command.
For example, to create a new compute instances as part of the current fabric, and to deploy the profiles mq-default and fabric into it, perform the following steps:
  1. Log on to the Fabric Server on EC2 using the client utility: 
    ./client -u admin -p admin -h 50.19.18.91

  2. Enter the following console command: 
    Fabric8:admin@registry> fabric:container-create-cloud --name aws-ec2
--hardwareId t1.micro --os-family rhel --os-version 6.4
--profile mq-default --profile fabric mqserver
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    Note how you can deploy multiple profiles, by specifying the --provider option multiple times.
The preceding fabric:container-create-cloud command produces output like the following: 
Looking up for compute service.
Creating 1 nodes on aws-ec2. It may take a while ...
Node fabric-72d5f553 has been succesfully created.

Create container and deploy profile in two steps
Copy link

You can create containers and deploy profiles in separate steps, as follows:
  1. Log on to the Fabric Server on EC2 using the client utility: 
    ./client -u admin -p admin -h 50.19.18.91
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  2. Create a new Fabric container, mqserver, as follows: 
    Fabric8:admin@registry> fabric:container-create-cloud --name aws-ec2
--hardwareId t1.micro --os-family rhel --os-version 6.4 mqserver
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  3. Deploy the profiles mq-default and fabric into the new container, as follows: 
    Fabric8:admin@registry> fabric:container-change-profile mqserver mq-default fabric
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Check the provision status

After creating and deploying, you can test the provision status of the new containers using the fabric:container-list command, as follows: 
 Fabric8:admin@registrygt container-list
[id]       [version] [connected] [profiles]                                     [provision status]
mqserver   1.0       true        mq-default, fabric                             success
registry*  1.0       true        fabric, fabric-ensemble-0000-1, cloud-aws.ec2  success
