Infrastructure as Code and GitOps are ongoing big topics related to DevOps and CI/CD which needs effective automation to shorter the Software Development Lifecycle and simplify production deployments. In this blog post we don't talk much about these processes and methodologies. The blog post is more about how to reduce efforts to build an automation by using the IBM Accelerator Toolkit.
In that blog post we use the IasCable framework to create a Virtual Private Cloud and a Red Hat OpenShift cluster on IBM Cloud. I covered the starting point for the IasCable framework in my last blog post “Get started with an installable component infrastructure by selecting components from a catalog of available modules with IasCable“
In that blog post we get started with the IasCable framework. The IasCable framework is a part of the Cloud Native Toolkit project with the objective to build an installable component infrastructure based on components from a catalog of available modules.
This blog post contains a simply example to create a Virtual Private Cloud and a Kubernetes Cluster on IBM Cloud using Terraform.
When software is provided as a managed service (SaaS), using a multi-tenant approach helps minimise costs for the deployments and operations of each tenant. In order to leverage these advantages, applications need to be designed so that they can be deployed to support multiple tenants, while maintaining isolation for security reasons. At the same time, common deployment and operation models are required so that new SaaS versions can be deployed to existing tenants, or to onboard new tenants, in a reliable and efficient way.
