Chapter 1. Select your installation platform
As systems administrator, you can select two different installation platforms to run Red Hat Trusted Profile Analyzer (RHTPA). You can deploy RHTPA to Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform or Red Hat Enterprise Linux. For supporting infrastructure you can use Red Hat services, such as single sign-on (SSO) and OpenShift Data Foundation, or you can use Amazon Web Services (AWS) as the infrastructure for authentication, storage, and database access.
Select your target installation platform:
1.1. Installing Trusted Profile Analyzer by using Ansible Copy linkLink copied to clipboard!
You can install the Red Hat Trusted Profile Analyzer (RHTPA) on Red Hat Enterprise Linux by using a Red Hat-provided Ansible Playbook. With Ansible deployments of RHTPA, you can specify your own PostgreSQL database, OpenID Connect (OIDC) provider, and a Simple Storage Service (S3) provider.
Prerequisites
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 9.3 or later.
- A Red Hat user account to access the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console.
- A configured OIDC provider, either Red Hat’s SSO or Amazon Cognito.
- A storage provider, either Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation or Amazon S3.
- An available PostgreSQL or Amazon RDS database instance.
Procedure
- Log in to the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console with your Red Hat credentials.
- From the home page, click the Services drop-down menu, and click Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform.
- From the navigational menu, expand Automation Hub, and click Collections.
- In the search field type rhtpa and press enter.
- Click the trusted_profile_analyzer link on the Red Hat Trusted Profile Analyzer tile.
Click the Documentation tab, and follow the steps there to complete the installation of RHTPA on Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
NoteFor a detailed overview of all the configuration parameters, click the tpa_single_node link under the Roles section.
1.2. Resource recommendations for deploying on OpenShift Copy linkLink copied to clipboard!
Size your infrastructure resources before deploying Red Hat Trusted Profile Analyzer (RHTPA) to ensure optimal service performance. The size of your object store depends on how many SBOM and VEX documents you plan to initially upload to RHTPA.
For example, if you upload 10,000 SBOM documents, with an average document size of 500 KB, your initial object storage size is 5 GB. Over the next year, if you create or update SBOM documents 100 times daily, you can estimate resulting object storage growth requirements. In this example, you can plan on a growth in storage of 18.25 GB over the next year. Adding in some buffer, say 20%, your estimated total object storage allocation would be roughly 28 GB.
Here are the baseline CPU, memory, and storage resources you can start with:
- 4 CPU cores
- 8 GB of RAM
- 45 GB of storage for database
- 45 GB of storage for objects
1.3. Installing Trusted Profile Analyzer using the Operator Lifecycle Manager Copy linkLink copied to clipboard!
You can install the Red Hat Trusted Profile Analyzer (RHTPA) Operator, and deploy the RHTPA service by using OpenShift Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM). This deployment gives you a basic RHTPA environment, and a web-based user interface (UI) to manage the service. You can configure either Red Hat single sign-On (SSO) technology or Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cognito as an OpenID Connect (OIDC) provider. You can configure either Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation or AWS Simple Storage Service (S3) for storage. You can also configure either a PostgreSQL database or use Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) to store advisory and analytical data.
Prerequisites
- Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.17 or later.
-
Access to the OpenShift web console with the
cluster-adminrole. - A configured OIDC provider, either Red Hat SSO or AWS Cognito.
- A storage provider, either Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation or Amazon S3.
- An available PostgreSQL or Amazon RDS database instance.
Procedure
-
Log in to the OpenShift web console with a user that has the
cluster-adminrole. - From the Administrator perspective, expand the Operators navigation menu, and click OperatorHub.
- In the search field, type trusted, and click the Red Hat Trusted Profile Analyzer tile.
- Click the Install button to show the operator details.
- On the Install Operator page, select your installation namespace from the drop-down menu, or create a new project namespace. Accept the rest of the default values, and click the Install button. Wait for the installation to finish.
- Once the installation of the RHTPA operator completes, click the View Operator button.
To deploy the Trusted Profile Analyzer service:
- On the Red Hat Trusted Profile Analyzer Operator page, under the Details tab, click the Create instance link on the TrustedProfileAnalyzer tile.
- On the Create TrustedProfileAnalyzer page, select YAML view.
-
Copy the OIDC provider, storage, and importer sections from the Helm chart for AWS services or Red Hat services, and paste them under the
specsection. - Update the OIDC provider, storage, and importer values for your environment.
- Click the Create button.
- You can check on the health of the new Trusted Profile Analyzer service by checking that the pods are up and running. You can also verify the exposure of the access route URL, and that the Trusted Profile Analyzer service is accessible.
1.4. Installing Trusted Profile Analyzer by using Helm with Amazon Web Services Copy linkLink copied to clipboard!
You can install Red Hat Trusted Profile Analyzer (RHTPA) service on OpenShift by using a Helm chart from Red Hat. This procedure guides you on integrating Amazon Web Services (AWS) with RHTPA by using a customized values file for Helm.
If the secret values change after the installation, OpenShift redeploys RHTPA.
Prerequisites
A Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform cluster running version 4.17 or later.
- Support for the Ingress resource to serve publicly trusted certificates that use HTTPS.
- Helm version 3.17 or higher.
- The ability to provision Transport Layer Security (TLS) certificates for Helm.
An AWS account with access to the following services:
- Simple Storage Service (S3)
- Relational Database Service (RDS) using a PostgreSQL database instance.
- Cognito with an existing Cognito domain.
Have the following unversioned S3 bucket name created:
-
trustify-UNIQUE_ID
ImportantThis bucket name must be unique across all AWS accounts in all AWS regions within the same partition. See Amazon S3 documentation for more information on bucket naming rules.
