Breeze Agent Deployment For Kubernetes

This article instructs on how to install Cloudaware Breeze agent on a Kubernetes cluster running in a private network. One sample of Breeze agent will be installed on a cluster automatically enabling TunHub Gateway on it. NOTE: Linux only.

Breeze Agent Setup

1. Log in to Cloudaware account. Select Admin under your username in the upper right corner.

2. Locate Breeze in the list of DevOps Integrations → 1 Configured.

3. Select Linux* Agent version to download the Breeze agent.

*This integration is for Linux only.

4. Clone or download the breeze-tools repository from Cloudaware GitHub repo:

CODE

# git clone https://github.com/cloudaware/breeze-tools.git

5. Change the working directory to kubernetes, put the archive with Breeze agent installer and then extract it:

CODE

# cd breeze-tools/kubernetes/
# cp /path/to/agent/distro/breeze-agent.x86_64.linux.tgz .
# tar xf breeze-agent.x86_64.linux.tgz

WHERE

breeze-agent.x86_64.linux.tgz should be replaced by the name of the dowloaded installer file (e.g. breeze-agent.1x11xx1xxxx11x11111x1x1x.11111111.0.x86_64.linux.tgz).

6. Build docker images:

CODE

# docker build -t breeze-agent-init -f Dockerfile.breeze-agent-init .
# docker build -t breeze-agent -f Dockerfile.breeze-agent .

In order to check if images have been generated, the following command can be used:

CODE

# docker images "breeze*"

7. Create two repositories named 'breeze-agent' and 'breeze-agent-init' in your private Docker registry.

8. Push the created images to the PRIVATE Docker container registry:

CODE

# docker tag breeze-agent-init:latest CONTAINER_REGISTRY_URI/breeze-agent-init:latest
# docker push breeze-agent-init:latest CONTAINER_REGISTRY_URI/breeze-agent-init:latest
# docker tag breeze-agent:latest CONTAINER_REGISTRY_URI/breeze-agent:latest
# docker push breeze-agent:latest CONTAINER_REGISTRY_URI/breeze-agent:latest

WHERE

CONTAINER_REGISTRY_URI should be replaced by your private container registry URI (e.g. 111111111111.dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/breeze-agent).

9. Open file breeze-agent-deployment-eks.yaml (for Amazon EKS) or breeze-agent-deployment-aks.yaml (for Azure AKS) in the text editor and replace the following placeholders with valid values:

CONTAINER_REGISTRY_URI - same as in the previous step
IMAGE_PULL_SECRET_NAME - name of the Kubernetes secret containing auth data of the private registry

10. Apply the configuration:

CODE

# kubectl create -f breeze-agent-deployment-eks.yaml

Integration Status Check

Once Breeze is installed, Cloudaware automatically enables TunHub Gateway for a secure connection with Kubernetes which may be running in a private network.

Go back to Cloudaware Admin → Clouds & Integrations → TunHub. Ensure that the TunHub connection has been created and has a green status.

Checking Cloudaware Access To EKS/AKS

Amazon EKS: ensure that Cloudaware has required permissions using this guide.

Azure AKS: ensure that Cloudaware has required permissions using this guide.

Please allow 1 hour for the data to load into Cloudaware.
