Configuring Storage

We'll need to configure the storage bucket that Opsmaru will use to store build artifacts and various other assets required for the clusters to operate successfully.

Adding the Storage block

On the first step of the infrastructure builder go ahead and click customize. Then add the storage block to your configuration.

Give it a name and description and click next.

The code generator will output the following code. I've only highlighted the main files here for the full list of files please refer to the preview generated.

// Generated by insterra

variable "identifier" {}
module "aws_storage_polaris_lzb" {
  source  = "upmaru/instellar/aws//modules/storage"
  version = "0.9.5"

  blueprint   = var.identifier
  bucket_name = var.identifier
}

The above is the content of storages.tf. You can see that it's referencing our storage module. There is another important file here by the name of links.tf

// Generated by insterra

module "instellar_link_polaris_mrw" {
  source  = "upmaru/bootstrap/instellar//modules/storage"
  version = "0.8.1"

  access_key            = module.aws_storage_polaris_lzb.access_key_id
  bucket                = module.aws_storage_polaris_lzb.name
  host                  = module.aws_storage_polaris_lzb.host
  insterra_component_id = 464
  region                = var.aws_region
  secret_key            = module.aws_storage_polaris_lzb.secret_access_key
}

The resources in links.tf is how the storage credentials is passed back to Opsmaru. This is the storage that will be attached to your workspace on Opsmaru.

Creating and updating the repository

Once you click next you'll be asked to create a repository on github. Enter a name for your repository and click create. If you are making edits to your blueprint you will see an update repository button. This will create a pull request.
