Breeze Agent Deployment For Kubernetes

Breeze Agent Setup

1. Download the Breeze agent. Log in to Cloudaware account → Admin → Breeze → 1 Configured → Linux* Agent version.

2. Clone or download the breeze-tools repository:

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

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

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

4. Build docker images:

# 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:

# docker images "breeze*"

5. Create two repositories named ‘breeze-agent' and 'breeze-agent-init’ in the private Docker registry.

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

# 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 - the fully qualified path to the private registry with the repositories

7. Open file breeze-agent-deployment-eks.yaml (for EKS) or breeze-agent-deployment-aks.yaml (for AKS) in the text editor and replace the following placeholders with proper 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

8. Apply the configuration:

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

Checking Cloudaware Access To Amazon EKS

Ensure that Cloudaware has required permissions for Amazon EKS using this guide.
