Getting Started with Cloudify
This page will guide you through installing Cloudify and deploying your first Hello World application on your local machine.
First install Cloudify Manager on your local machine
This tutorial assumes that you have Docker installed on your local machine
Open your terminal and create/start the Docker container (requires password)
sudo docker run --name cfy_manager_local -d --restart unless-stopped -v /sys/fs/cgroup:/sys/fs/cgroup:ro --tmpfs /run --tmpfs /run/lock --security-opt seccomp:unconfined --cap-add SYS_ADMIN -p 80:80 -p 8000:8000 cloudifyplatform/community-cloudify-manager-aio
Deploy the Hello World Example on your local machine
|
1. Run the Hello-World blueprint inside the container (see the blueprint on Github) docker exec -it cfy_manager_local sh -c "cfy install https://github.com/cloudify-community/blueprint-examples/releases/download/5.0.5-8/simple-hello-world-example.zip" 2. Go to docker exec -it cfy_manager_local sh -c "cfy uninstall simple-hello-world-example"
4. You can uninstall Cloudify by removing the Docker container using docker rm -f cfy_manager_local
|
1. Go to localhost in your browser to see the Cloudify UI. Login and password are both admin.
2. Click on 
3. Paste in this URL: https://github.com/cloudify-community/blueprint-examples/releases/download/5.0.5-8/simple-hello-world-example.zip and change the Blueprint name to “simple-hello-world-example” then click “Upload”
4. Go to the Local Blueprints page and click on 
5. Give the deployment a name and click “Deploy”
6. Go to the Deployments page, click on 
and choose “Install” then “Execute”
7. Finally, go to localhost:8000in your browser
If you see the following image on the page, you did it!

8. Tear down your deployment by clicking on and choosing “Uninstall” then “Execute”
9. You can uninstall Cloudify by removing the Docker container using docker rm -f cfy_manager_local in the terminal
Now that you have successfully deployed the Cloudify Hello World, please explore deeper usage with the multi-cloud getting started.
First install Cloudify Manager on your local machine
This tutorial assumes that you have Docker installed on your local machine, and that you already have a cloud service account for API access set up.
Open your terminal and create/start the Docker container (requires password)
sudo docker run --name cfy_manager_local -d --restart unless-stopped -v /sys/fs/cgroup:/sys/fs/cgroup:ro --tmpfs /run --tmpfs /run/lock --security-opt seccomp:unconfined --cap-add SYS_ADMIN -p 80:80 -p 8000:8000 cloudifyplatform/community-cloudify-manager-aio
Deploy the Hello World Example on AWS, GCP, Azure, or OpenStack
|
1. Create the secrets (credentials) on your local manager for the cloud of your choice from the below list: For AWS docker exec -it cfy_manager_local sh -c "cfy secrets create aws_access_key_id --secret-string <value>" docker exec -it cfy_manager_local sh -c "cfy secrets create aws_secret_access_key --secret-string <value>" For Azure docker exec -it cfy_manager_local sh -c "cfy secrets create subscription_id --secret-string <value>" docker exec -it cfy_manager_local sh -c "cfy secrets create tenant_id --secret-string <value>" docker exec -it cfy_manager_local sh -c "cfy secrets create client_id --secret-string <value>" docker exec -it cfy_manager_local sh -c "cfy secrets create client_secret --secret-string <value>" For GCP docker exec -it cfy_manager_local sh -c "cfy secrets create gcp_client_x509_cert_url --secret-string <value>" docker exec -it cfy_manager_local sh -c "cfy secrets create gcp_client_email --secret-string <value>" docker exec -it cfy_manager_local sh -c "cfy secrets create gcp_client_id --secret-string <value>" docker exec -it cfy_manager_local sh -c "cfy secrets create gcp_project_id --secret-string <value>" docker exec -it cfy_manager_local sh -c "cfy secrets create gcp_private_key_id --secret-string <value>" docker exec -it cfy_manager_local sh -c "cfy secrets create gcp_private_key --secret-string <value>" docker exec -it cfy_manager_local sh -c "cfy secrets create gcp_zone --secret-string <value>" For more help finding your GCP credentials, please see the docs section covering this topic. For Openstack docker exec -it cfy_manager_local sh -c "cfy secrets create keystone_username --secret-string <value>" docker exec -it cfy_manager_local sh -c "cfy secrets create keystone_password --secret-string <value>" docker exec -it cfy_manager_local sh -c "cfy secrets create keystone_tenant_name --secret-string <value>" docker exec -it cfy_manager_local sh -c "cfy secrets create keystone_url --secret-string <value>" 2. Upload the default plugins (this takes a few minutes) docker exec -it cfy_manager_local sh -c "cfy plugins bundle-upload" 3. Run the Hello-World blueprint on the cloud of your choice (see the blueprint on Github): For AWS docker exec -it cfy_manager_local sh -c "cfy install https://github.com/cloudify-cosmo/cloudify-hello-world-example/archive/master.zip -n aws.yaml -i aws_region_name=<AWS_REGION_NAME>" For Azure docker exec -it cfy_manager_local sh -c "cfy install https://github.com/cloudify-cosmo/cloudify-hello-world-example/archive/master.zip -n azure.yaml -i location=<YOUR_LOCATION> -i agent_password=<CHOOSE_PASSWORD_PER_AZURE_AMDINPWD_REQS>" For GCP docker exec -it cfy_manager_local sh -c "cfy install https://github.com/cloudify-cosmo/cloudify-hello-world-example/archive/master.zip -n gcp.yaml -i region=<YOUR_REGION>" For Openstack docker exec -it cfy_manager_local sh -c "cfy install https://github.com/cloudify-cosmo/cloudify-hello-world-example/archive/master.zip -n openstack.yaml -i region=<YOUR_REGION> -i external_network_name=<NETWORK_NAME> -i image=<UBUNTU_TRUSTY_IMAGE_ID> -i flavor=<IMAGE_FLAVOR>" 4. Get the URL of the webserver docker exec -it cfy_manager_local sh -c "cfy deployment outputs cloudify-hello-world-example-master.aws" For GCP docker exec -it cfy_manager_local sh -c "cfy deployment outputs cloudify-hello-world-example-master.gcp" For Azure docker exec -it cfy_manager_local sh -c "cfy deployment outputs cloudify-hello-world-example-master.azure" For OpenStack docker exec -it cfy_manager_local sh -c "cfy deployment outputs cloudify-hello-world-example-master.openstack" You will see output like this: Retrieving outputs for deployment cloudify-hello-world-example-master.aws...
- "application_endpoint":
Description: The external endpoint of the application.
Value: http://3.122.71.142:80
Copy and paste the URL “Value” into your browser, and if you see something similar to the below image on the page, you did it! docker exec -it cfy_manager_local sh -c "cfy uninstall cloudify-hello-world-example-master.<aws/gcp/azure/openstack>" 6. You can uninstall Cloudify by removing the Docker container using docker rm -f cfy_manager_local
