Introduction

This docs will describe how to install Osclass on IBM Cloud. These four steps will be needed as follows:

• Step 1: Provision Kubernetes Cluster
• Step 2: Deploy IBM Cloud Block Storage plug-in
• Step 3: Deploy Osclass
• Step 4: Verify Installation

So let's get started.

Step 1: Provision Kubernetes Cluster

• Search for Kubernetes and select Kubernetes Service from the list.
  

You will be redirected to the Kubernetes cluster creation page.

Option A: Create free Kubernetes Engine:

• Price Plan: Free

Enter the cluster name of your choice then click Create to provision the free Kubernetes Cluster.
Please wait for few moments to provision the cluster.

Option B: Create Standard Kubernetes Engine with the following attributes:

• Price Plan: Standard

• Infrastructure: Classic
• Availability: Multi Zone
• Metro: Dallas
• 4 VCPU
• 16 GB RAM
• Worker nodes per zone: 3

Enter the cluster name of your choice then click Create to provision.

Please wait for a few moments to provision the cluster.

Step 2: Deploy IBM Cloud Block Storage plug-in

• Just like in step 1, search for "Block Storage" and Click on it.

• On the Block Storage page click on Create

• Now input the storage details

N.B. Select location as the cluster location.

• Location > Europe > London > LON02

• Billing Method > Monthly > 20 GB

• OS type > Linux

• IOPS > 2 IOPS/GB
  

• Click on “I have agreed to the terms and conditions listed below”.

Now a storage plugin will be available in the dashboard.

Step 3: Deploy Osclass

• Again Search for Osclass and Click on it.

You will be taken to the Osclass deployment page.

In the Osclass creation page add the details below:

• Target: IBM Kubernetes Service
• Method: Helm chart
• Kubernetes cluster: mycluster-free
• Target namespace: osclass
• Workspace: osclass
• Resource group: Default

• Check on “I have agreed to the terms and conditions listed below”.

Click Install to deploy Osclass.
Please wait for all the process to complete.

Step 4: Verify Installation

• Go to Left Navigation Menu.
• Click on Kubernetes

• Click on your Cluster "mycluster-free".

You will be taken to your clusters overview page where you will see the details of your cluster as well.

• To verify the installation find the Actions..
• Click on it and select Web terminal from the dropdown menu.

Click install, then wait for a couple of minutes to finish the process.

• After completing the installation click on Actions > Web terminal again.

A command line terminal will appear. Type the command below:

Get the list of pods:

kubectl get ns

See if it is running:

kubectl get pod -n osclass -o wide

The Installation is now done! Enjoy !
