title: Cloud Services
|
|
description: This section introduces the delivery of services provided by cloud vendors through KubeVela and orchestrating your services in the Kubernetes cluster.
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
Integrating cloud service is the most frequent need in our daily development, varying from the Object storage, Cloud
|
|
database to LoadBalancer, Cache, or search engine. Faster to load them save more time, meanwhile, to orchestrate
|
|
different resources from multi-cloud is quite a pain point.
|
|
|
|
In this section, we introduce an example to show you how to deploy cloud services.
|
|
|
|
## Before starting
|
|
|
|
- Has a cloud vendor account with proper access to your target cloud resources
|
|
|
|
- Ensure your account has a sufficient balance
|
|
|
|
- Connect to a Kubernetes cluster on this cloud vendor for hosting your cloud services
|
|
|
|
## Enabling cloud vendor Addons
|
|
|
|
First, visit [VelaUX (KubeVela Dashboard)](../install#3-install-velaux), switch to the tab `Addon`, and click up addon
|
|
`terraform-xxx`. `xxx` stands for the cloud provider name. We support the following Addons:
|
|
|
|
- terraform-alibaba
|
|
- terraform-aws
|
|
- terraform-azure
|
|
- terraform-tencent
|
|
- terraform-gcp
|
|
- terraform-baidu
|
|
|
|
We can provision cloud resources in Alibaba Cloud, AWS, Azure, Tencent Cloud, Google Cloud Platform and Baidu Cloud respectively.
|
|
|
|
Follow the instructions on all the properties of the addon for each cloud provider to set the addon and enable it.
|
|
|
|
For example, for Alibaba Cloud, you need to set the following properties:
|
|
|
|
> Notice: KubeVela encrypts all the keys, hence no need to worry about its safety.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then fill in your ALICLOUD_ACCESS_KEY, ALICLOUD_REGION, and ALICLOUD_SECRET_KEY to enable it。
|
|
|
|
The creating process of cloud services pulls configuration from GitHub. If your control plane
|
|
cluster that runs KubeVela is very hard to connect to GitHub, please open up the `GithubBlocked` option in `terraform`
|
|
addon.
|
|
|
|
All supported Terraform cloud resources can be seen in the [list](../end-user/components/cloud-services/cloud-resources-list).
|
|
|
|
## Creating your cloud service
|
|
|
|
First [create an application](../how-to/dashboard/application/create-application). Please choose the type of your cloud service,
|
|
which has a prefix of `aws-`, `azure`, `alibaba-` or `tencent-`.
|
|
|
|
For different vendors, these parameters update accordingly.
|
|
|
|
For example, `aws-s3` has the following parameters:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`azure-database-mariadb` has the following parameters:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`alibaba-rds` has the following parameters:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All cloud resources have some common parameters.
|
|
|
|
- DeleteResource: Whether to delete the corresponding cloud service when the app is deleted
|
|
- ProviderRef: The Provider which is referenced by a cloud service
|
|
- Region: Region is cloud provider's region. It will override `providerRef`.
|
|
|
|
Set the above parameters according to your needs to complete creating the application, and then [deploy the application](../how-to/dashboard/application/deploy-application).
|
|
|
|
## Viewing cloud resource creation status
|
|
|
|
- Check the cloud instance list
|
|
|
|
Like other apps, cloud service apps also need to switch to the corresponding environment page to view instance information.
|
|
By default, there are several targets in an environment, and the cloud service will generate a corresponding number of instances.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the instance list, the instance name, status, resource type, and location are displayed. In the beginning, the name is empty,
|
|
because the cloud service instance generation takes a certain amount of time, and the name will appear when the instance is generated normally.
|
|
|
|
- View the cloud resource in the console of the cloud provider
|
|
|
|
You can visit the instance in the console of the cloud provider. For example, you can check the name or console to visit it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example, you can check Alibaba Cloud RDS instance in [https://console.aliyun.com](https://console.aliyun.com).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Check details and status of the cloud instance
|
|
|
|
Click the `Check the detail` button to view the application details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You will find that each instance generates a Secret resource, which generally records the service's access address and
|
|
key information. Secret resources will be distributed to the cluster and Namespace where the target is located while the
|
|
control cluster exists. Therefore, other applications in the same environment can directly use the resource in the
|
|
environment variable to obtain the access address and key.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the last section `Component Status`, the health status and the message of the cloud service instance is displayed.
|
|
|
|
## FAQ
|
|
|
|
- The cloud service is always ProvisioningAndChecking and has no name
|
|
|
|
> The creation of cloud services generally takes a certain amount of time. Please wait or enter the cloud vendor console to view the creation progress.
