This blog post shows an alternative way to access the example application with the Ngnix load balancer on the Virtual Service Instance (VSI) from the last blog post titled Use a Ngnix load balancer on a VSI to access an application on OpenShift in VPC.
This blog post is about automating the creation of a Red Hat OpenShift cluster on IBM Cloud in a Virtual Private Cloud. I used bash scripting with the IBM Cloud CLI and and the associated IBM Cloud CLI plugins vpc-infrastructure and kubernetes-service. I also use jq to handle json output.
I created the bash automation in combination of the IBM Cloud documentation and tutorials and my blog post about the automated setup of a simple Virtual Private Cloud. It’s more about learning and not so much for production.
These are the three resources I used in the IBM Cloud documentation:
I’m not going to show every function of the bash script in this blog post. For details, please visit the script in the GitHub project.

This blog post is a cheat sheet: how to create and configure a very basic Virtual Private Cloud in IBM Cloud using the IBM Cloud vpc-infrastructure CLI.
We will create following resources:
| Resources | Auto created resources |
|---|---|
| VPC (Virual Private Cloud) | Routing Table, Security Group |
| Public Gateway | |
| Subnet |
This is a “simple” cheat sheet, how to create a single virtual server instance (VSI) in the virtual private cloud (VPC) infrastructure on IBM Cloud using Terraform.
“Terraform is to write infrastructure as code using declarative configuration files. HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL) allows for concise descriptions of resources using blocks, arguments, and expressions.” resource Terraform
There is an awesome documentation on IBM Cloud to do this:
That blog post reuses a lot of the content in the IBM Cloud documentation. You need to install Terraform and and clone the example GitHub project as your example terraform project folder.
