With the release of IBM Cloud Deployable Architectures, it is easy to provision an exisiting pre-defined architecture or customize and import.
In this hands-on lab, you will learn to:
- Create a customized VPC-based topology using the VPC Landing Zone Deployable Architecture
- Deploy and expose a web application on top of this secure topology. For this lab, we will use an Apache service as an example.
- Share this deployable pattern with your enterprise through the IBM Cloud Private Catalog
The objective of this lab is split into two distinct parts. The first part is built as a stepping stone for the second part.
- Part 1 shows how the end-to-end steps to deploy a sample web application on top of a secure VPC-topology in your own account.
- The secure VPC-based topology will be deployed using the Landing Zone Deployable Architecture.
- Operator access will be provided through a manually deployed jump box VSI
- An Apache server will be deployed in a secure VSI workload VPC
- The web application will be exposed for outside access.
- Part 2 shows how to automate the manual steps in Part 1, and then, how to package, and share the automation as a “Deployable Architecture” with other user through a private IBM Cloud Catalog
