Platform Provisioner by TIBCO®

Platform Provisioner by TIBCO® is a lightweight, extensible, and easy to use recipe based provisioning system for cloud native platforms. It consists of the following components:

• Recipes: YAML files containing all the information to provision platform infrastructure and applications.
• Pipelines: Scripts that run inside a Docker image to parse and execute recipes.
• Runtime Docker Image: A Docker image containing all the supporting tools (bash, yq, helm, kubectl, etc.) to run a pipeline with a given recipe.

Why Platform Provisioner?

The Platform Provisioner is designed for the following use cases:

• Developer/DevOps engineer wants to provision platform infrastructure and applications in both cloud and on-premises.
• SRE/DevOps engineer has code snippets to run periodically for operational tasks.
• Platform team wants to provide a zero-trust provisioning system for multi-cloud environments.
• Platform team wants to dynamically provision platform infrastructure and applications on demand.
• Platform team wants to provide a self-service provisioning system for developers.

The Platform Provisioner does not create another layer of abstraction on top of existing tools. It provides 2 kinds of pipelines: generic-runner and helm-install. The pipelines are focused on workflow orchestration and recipe parsing, so that users can put their favorite tools in the Docker image and use recipes to manage their workflow.

Getting Started

The platform-provisioner can be run in headless mode with a Docker container as well as in a Kubernetes cluster. For more information see: Architecture Documentation

Prerequisites

• Docker installed
• Bash shell
• yq version 4 installed

Run the Platform Provisioner

Go to the project root directory and run the following command:

export PIPELINE_INPUT_RECIPE="docs/recipes/tests/test-container-binaries.yaml"
./dev/platform-provisioner.sh

For this sample pipeline:

• The recipe is docs/recipes/tests/test-container-binaries.yaml
• The pipeline is called generic-runner
• The runtime Docker image is ghcr.io/tibcosoftware/platform-provisioner/platform-provisioner:latest

The platform provisioner script platform-provisioner.sh will:

• Parse the recipe and copy it to the Docker container
• Load the pipeline script generic-runner into the Docker container
• Run the pipeline script with the recipe inside the Docker container
