`ibmcloud plugin install infrastructure-service`
After you've logged in using `ibmcloud login` you can set a target region:
Target a specific region
REGION='us-east' # run `ibmcloud regions` to view options
ibmcloud target -r $REGION
Target a specific resource group
RESOURCE_GROUP='my-resource-group'
ibmcloud resource group-create $RESOURCE_GROUP # Create the resource group if it doesn't exist
ibmcloud target -g $RESOURCE_GROUP
There are also several other pieces that need to be in place, like a VPC, SSH keys, networks, permissions, etc. Unfortunately, this guide is not a comprehensive IBM Cloud guide. If you are new to IBM Cloud please familiarize yourself using https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/vpc?topic=vpc-getting-started[the documentation for IBM Cloud VPC networks] first.
Creating an Image
The following sets of commands will show you how to download the most recent image for a stream, upload it to cloud storage, and then create the cloud image in IBM Cloud. It is worth noting that Fedora CoreOS comes in three streams, with different update schedules per stream. These steps show the `stable` stream as an example, but can be used for other streams too.
Fetch the latest image suitable for your target stream (or https://fedoraproject.org/coreos/download/[download and verify] it from the web).
STREAM='stable'
ARCH='x86_64' # or 's390x'
coreos-installer download -s $STREAM -a $ARCH -p ibmcloud -f qcow2.xz --decompress
Create a Service Account for uploading and an Authorization Policy to allow creating images from the uploaded objects.
BUCKET='my-unique-bucket'
ibmcloud resource service-instance-create "${BUCKET}-service-instance" cloud-object-storage standard global
SERVICE_INSTANCE_ID='25df0db0-89a4-4cb8-900f-ed8b44259f80' # from just created service account
ibmcloud iam authorization-policy-create is --source-resource-type image cloud-object-storage Reader --target-service-instance-id $SERVICE_INSTANCE_ID
Upload the fetched image file to IBM Cloud Object Storage.
FCOS_VERSION='...'
FILE="fedora-coreos-${FCOS_VERSION}-ibmcloud.${ARCH}.qcow2"
ibmcloud cos create-bucket --bucket $BUCKET --ibm-service-instance-id $SERVICE_INSTANCE_ID
ibmcloud cos upload --bucket=$BUCKET --key="${FILE}" --file="${FILE}"
Create the image from the storage object.
IMAGE=${FILE:0:-6} # pull off .qcow2
IMAGE=${IMAGE//[._]/-} # replace . and _ with -
[ $ARCH == 'x86_64' ] && OSNAME='fedora-coreos-stable-amd64'
[ $ARCH == 's390x' ] && OSNAME='red-8-s390x-byol'
ibmcloud is image-create "${IMAGE}" --file "cos://${REGION}/${BUCKET}/${FILE}" --os-name $OSNAME
For `s390x` we use `--os-name=red-8-s390x-byol` (a RHEL 8 profile) here because there is not currently a `fedora-coreos-stable-s390x` profile to use.
You'll have to wait for the image creation process to finish and go from `pending` to `available` before you can use the image. Monitor with the following command:
Monitor image creation progress by viewing the images in your account
ibmcloud is images --visibility private
Launching a VM instance
Now that you have an image created in your account you can launch a VM instance. You'll have to specify several pieces of information in the command. Embedded in the example below are tips for how to grab that information before launching an instance.
You'll also need the Ignition config you created earlier. Here it is represented in the example command as `@example.ign`, which indicates a file in the current directory named `example.ign`. The @ is required before the path to the Ignition file.
NAME='instance1'
ZONE="${REGION}-1" # view more with `ibmcloud is zones`
PROFILE='bx2-2x8' # view more with `ibmcloud is instance-profiles`
VPC='r014-c9c65cc4-cfd3-44de-ad54-865aac182ea1' # `ibmcloud is vpcs`
IMAGE='r014-1823b4cf-9c63-499e-8a27-b771be714ad8' # `ibmcloud is images --visibility private`
SUBNET='0777-bf99cbf4-bc82-4c46-895a-5b7304201182' # `ibmcloud is subnets`
SSHKEY='r014-b44c37d0-5c21-4c2b-aba2-438a5b0a228d' # `ibmcloud is keys`
ibmcloud is instance-create "${NAME}" $VPC $ZONE $PROFILE $SUBNET --image $IMAGE --keys $SSHKEY --user-data @example.ign
If needed you may have to first create a subnet with a command like `ibmcloud is subnet-create my-subnet $VPC --ipv4-address-count 256 --zone $ZONE`.
Make sure you choose an appropriate instance type based on your architecture. For example, you may want to use `bz2-2x8` instead of `bx2-2x8` above if you are targeting `s390x`.
Next, if you'd like to SSH into the instance from outside IBM Cloud, you can assign a public IP to the instance:
Create and Assign a Floating IP
ibmcloud is floating-ip-reserve floating-ip-1 --zone=$ZONE
FIP='72251a2e-d6c5-42b4-97b0-b5f8e8d1f479'
NIC='0777-dd174c80-dbd9-41b1-b221-39bbcef8a481' # find from `ibmcloud is instance` output
ibmcloud is floating-ip-update $FIP --nic $NIC
