Deploy the AppDynamics Operator on Red Hat OpenShift

To deploy the AppDynamics Operator on OpenShift, open a command prompt and follow the steps below. If you are not on OpenShift, see Deploy the AppDynamics Operator on Kubernetes.

This document contains links to Red Hat OpenShift documentation. AppDynamics makes no representation as to the accuracy of Red Hat OpenShift documentation because Red Hat controls its own documentation.

1. Ensure your oc is pointing to your Kubernetes cluster. For more details see, Get Started with the CLI in the Red Hat OpenShift documentation.

2. Log on as a cluster administrator.

3. Create a namespace for appdynamics in your Red Hat OpenShift cluster:

   $ oc new-project appdynamics

   CODE

4. Verify your namespace is created by running:

   $ oc get project

   CODE

   Example output:

   NAME                                DISPLAY NAME   STATUS
   appdynamics                                        Active
   default                                            Active
   kube-public                                        Active
   kube-service-catalog                               Active
   kube-system                                        Active

   TEXT

5. To install the latest version of the AppDynamics Operator for Red Hat OpenShift

   $ oc create -f cluster-agent-operator-openshift.yaml

   CODE

   The AppDynamics Operator creates a Custom Resource Definition, which extends the Kubernetes APIs to create a new Kubernetes type called clusteragents. The AppDynamics Operator also creates a serviceaccount, a clusterrole, and clusterrolebinding for the namespace.

   Example output: 

   customresourcedefinition.apiextensions.k8s.io/clusteragents.appdynamics.com created
   customresourcedefinition.apiextensions.k8s.io/infravizs.appdynamics.com created
   serviceaccount/appdynamics-operator created
   serviceaccount/appdynamics-infraviz created
   podsecuritypolicy.extensions/appdynamics-infraviz created
   clusterrole.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/appdynamics-operator created
   clusterrolebinding.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/appdynamics-operator created
   clusterrolebinding.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/appdynamics-infraviz created
   role.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/appdynamics-infraviz created
   rolebinding.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/appdynamics-infraviz created
   deployment.apps/appdynamics-operator created

   CODE

6. Verify that the AppDynamics Operator is running:

   oc -n appdynamics get pods

   CODE

   Example output:

   NAME									READY		STATUS		RESTARTS	AGE
   appdynamics-operator-95ffb549c-m8tjv	1/1			Running		0			30s

   CODE

   This output shows that OpenShift extends the custom resource definitions that you provided.  Now you are ready to Build the Cluster Agent Container Image.

7. Create a secret with the Controller access key:

   oc -n appdynamics create secret generic cluster-agent-secret \
   --from-literal=controller-key="<controller-access-key>" \

   CODE
