IBM Cloud Integration

Ops can integrate with your existing IBM Cloud Platform (IBM) account. You can use Ops CLI to create and upload an image to your account. Once, you have uploaded image, you can also create an instance with a particular image using CLI.

Pre-requisites

Create an api key and export it:

$ export TOKEN="somethinguniqueandrandom"

Image Operations

Create Image

If you have already created an Ops project, you can update your existing config.json. You need to add CloudConfig which mentions specific details like BucketName.

{
  "RunConfig": {
    "Ports": ["8080"]
  },
  "CloudConfig" :{
    "Zone": "us-south-2",
    "BucketName":"nanos-test"
  }
}

Once, you have updated config.json you can create an image in IBM Cloud with the following command.

$ ops image create -t ibm <program> -c config.json

For creating an image using a particular package, you need to provide the package name to ops image create command with -p option.

$ ops image create -c config.json -p node_v14.2.0 -a ex.js -i <image_name> -t ibm

List Images

You can list existing images on IBM cloud with ops image list.

$ ops image list
+--------------------+--------+-------------------------------+
|        NAME        | STATUS |            CREATED            |
+--------------------+--------+-------------------------------+
| nanos-main-image   | READY  | 2019-03-21T15:06:17.567-07:00 |
+--------------------+--------+-------------------------------+
| nanos-node-image   | READY  | 2019-04-16T23:16:03.145-07:00 |
+--------------------+--------+-------------------------------+
| nanos-server-image | READY  | 2019-03-21T15:50:04.456-07:00 |
+--------------------+--------+-------------------------------+

Delete Image

ops image delete <imagename> can be used to delete an image from IBM Cloud.

$ ops delete image nanos-main-image

Instance Operations

Create Instance

After the successful creation of an image in IBM Cloud, we can create an instance from an existing image.

You need to export TOKEN.

$ export TOKEN=<token>
$ ops instance create <image_name> -t ibm -c config.json

List Instances

You can list instance on IBM Cloud using ops instance list command.

You need to export TOKEN:

$ export TOKEN=token
$ ops instance list
+-----------------------------+---------+-------------------------------+-------------+--------------+
|            NAME             | STATUS  |            CREATED            | PRIVATE IPS |  PUBLIC IPS  |
+-----------------------------+---------+-------------------------------+-------------+--------------+
| nanos-main-image-1556601450 | RUNNING | 2019-04-29T22:17:34.609-07:00 | 10.240.0.40 | 34.83.204.40 |
+-----------------------------+---------+-------------------------------+-------------+--------------+

Alternatively you can pass zone with cli options.

$ ops instance list -t ibm

Get Logs for Instance

Delete Instance

ops instance delete command can be used to delete instance on IBM Cloud.

You need to export TOKEN.

$ export TOKEN=mytoken
$ ops instance delete my-instance-running
