common services) [Product doc](https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cpfs). It includes IAM and certificate management.\n* **IBM® Automation Insights foundation** operator installs the required dependency operators, such as the IBM Events Operator, the Elasticsearch Operator and the Event Processing Operator.\n* **Cloud Pak for Business Automation** includes Business Automation Studio and Business Automation Navigator to provide a unified authoring environment and an entry point to various low-code design tools with a single sign-on (SSO) experience and team management.\n\n\nOnce those operators are installed, the way operands will be added will depend on the\ndifferent products (capabilities) to install and if they are shared between developer teams or not.\n\nRead this [important note](https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cloud-paks/cp-biz-automation/21.0.3?topic=deployment-capabilities-starter-deployments) on the relationship between capabilities and operators.\n\nDepending on the selected capabilities, the needed components of the foundation are installed. The final custom resource file combines capabilities and components from one or more capabilities.\n\n\n### Common Services\n\nInstalling most of those operators will create Foundational service instances like in the following figure:\n\n![](./docs/images/Foundational_Services_on_OCP.png)\n\n(src for this diagram: [docs/diagrams/Foundational_Services_on_OCP.drawio](./docs/diagrams/Foundational_Services_on_OCP.drawio))\n\n### Business Automation Workflow (BAW) example\n\nIf we want to develop process applications, we will have the Automation Studio deployed in one namespace and then the workflow server and other runtimes in the different environment namespaces (dev, staging):\n\n![](./docs/images/BAW_BAI.png)\n\n(src for this diagram: [docs/diagrams/Business_Automation_WorkflowOCP.drawio](./docs/diagrams/Business_Automation_WorkflowOCP.drawio))\n\nThis GitOps Catalog defines the operator only. The [infra gitOps repository](https://github.com/ibm-cloud-architecture/dba-infra-gitops) defines\ncustom resources for runtime and authoring component deployments.\n\n### Automation Decision Services on AWS - ROSA\n\nSee the detailed article to deploy Cloud Pak for Business Automation and ADS on AWS Managed Red Hat OpenShift ROSA [here](./docs/CP4BA-ADS-ROSAV.md)\n\n## Reuse diagrams and images\n\nHead to the [docs readme](https://github.com/ibm-cloud-architecture/dba-gitops-catalog/tree/main/docs/README.md) for information on the draw.io diagrams and images that can be used immediately and customized for your needs.\n\n### Example diagram: Business Automation Workflow (BAW) deployment on OpenShift Container Platform (OCP)\n\n![](./docs/images/Business_Automation_WorkflowOCP.png)\n\n## Setting up a cluster\n\nIn this section we will present how to bootstrap the operators deployment\n\n### Prerequisites\n\n#### On your laptop\n\n* git client, oc CLI, podman or docker CLIs, with unzip tool\n* Get this repository for the scripts and Custom Resources\n\n```sh\ngit clone https://github.com/ibm-cloud-architecture/dba-gitops-catalog.git\n```\n\n#### Red Hat OpenShift  \n\n* Get a running OpenShift v4.7+ cluster with enough resources to deploy cloud pak for automation.\nA cluster will all capabilities need 11 nodes (see [system requirements](https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cloud-paks/cp-biz-automation/21.0.3?topic=ppd-system-requirements)):\n\n   * Master (3 nodes): 4 vCPU and 8 GB memory on each node.\n   * Worker (8 nodes): 16 vCPU and 32 GB memory on each node.\n\n* Be sure to have the cluster using Network Time Protocol by setting [a chrony time service](https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/openshift?source=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.openshift.com%2Fcontainer-platform%2F4.7%2Finstalling%2Finstall_config%2Finstalling-customizing.html%23installation-special-config-chrony_installing-customizing\u0026referrer=SSYHZ8_21.0.x%2Fcom.ibm.dba.install%2Fop_topics%2Ftsk_preparing_demo.html).\n\nFor demo purpose, a three nodes cluster should be enough (32 CPUs and 64 GB RAM, for example flavor c3c.32x64 on ROKS). See this [set of questions](https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cloud-paks/cp-biz-automation/21.0.3?topic=deployments-quick-reference-qa-demo)\nto review.\n\n#### Active Directory\n\nFor production deployment, you need a LDAP server accessible from the OpenShift cluster. For demonstration purpose, Cloud Pak for Business Automation starter configuration uses OpenLDAP.\n\n#### IBM Entitlement Key\n\nThe IBM Entitlement Key is required to pull IBM Cloud Pak specific container images from the IBM Entitled Registry. To get an entitlement key,\n\n* Log in to MyIBM Container Software Library with an IBMid and password associated with the entitled software. See\n[https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cloud-paks/1.0?topic=clusters-obtaining-your-entitlement-key](https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cloud-paks/1.0?topic=clusters-obtaining-your-entitlement-key)\n\n    1. Select the View library option to verify your entitlement(s).\n    1. Select the Get entitlement key to retrieve the key, place it in a file called `./assets/entitlement_key.text`\n    1. Enter the email address used to generate the entitlement key in a file called `./assets/ibm_email.text`\n\n\n## Deploy a solution\n\nEach solution will deploy the different IBM Automation components according to their requirements.\n\nAs an example the [dba-infra-gitops](https://github.com/ibm-cloud-architecture/dba-infra-gitops) repository is using scripts,\nOpenShift GitOps to deploy Business Automation Workflow (BAW), Business Automation Insights (BAI), and Automation Decision Services (ADS).\n\n## Resources\n\n*Preparing:*\n\nResources: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cloud-paks/cp-biz-automation/21.0.x?topic=deployments-preparing-enterprise-deployment\n\nCluster: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cloud-paks/cp-biz-automation/21.0.x?topic=cluster-setting-up-by-running-script\n\nCapabilities: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cloud-paks/cp-biz-automation/21.0.x?topic=capabilities-enterprise-deployments\n\nLDAP: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cloud-paks/cp-biz-automation/21.0.x?topic=parameters-ldap-configuration\n\nUMS DB: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cloud-paks/cp-biz-automation/21.0.x?topic=database-preparing-postgresql\n\nBAN DB: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cloud-paks/cp-biz-automation/21.0.x?topic=navigator-preparing-database\n\nBAS/Playback Server Engine DB: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cloud-paks/cp-biz-automation/21.0.x?topic=databases-creating-postgresql-database\n\nSecrets: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cloud-paks/cp-biz-automation/21.0.x?topic=authoring-creating-secrets-protect-sensitive-configuration-data\n\n*Configuration:*\n\nUMS: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cloud-paks/cp-biz-automation/21.0.x?topic=resource-configuring-user-management-services\n\nBAS: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cloud-paks/cp-biz-automation/21.0.x?topic=resource-configuring-business-automation-studio\n\nADS: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cloud-paks/cp-biz-automation/21.0.x?topic=resource-configuring-automation-decision-services\n\n*Parameters*:\n\nUMS: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cloud-paks/cp-biz-automation/21.0.x?topic=parameters-ums\n\nBAS: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cloud-paks/cp-biz-automation/21.0.x?topic=parameters-business-automation-studio\n\nADS: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cloud-paks/cp-biz-automation/21.0.x?topic=parameters-automation-decision-services\n\nHelm based GitOps for Cloud Pak [https://github.com/IBM/cloudpak-gitops](https://github.com/IBM/cloudpak-gitops)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fibm-cloud-architecture%2Fdba-gitops-catalog","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fibm-cloud-architecture%2Fdba-gitops-catalog","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fibm-cloud-architecture%2Fdba-gitops-catalog/lists"}
