Validating Kyvos resources for AWS Platform

Applies to: Kyvos Enterprise  Kyvos Cloud (SaaS on AWS) Kyvos AWS Marketplace

Kyvos Azure Marketplace   Kyvos GCP Marketplace Kyvos Single Node Installation (Kyvos SNI)

Currently, environment validation functionality can be used/triggered in two ways:

1. Using automated deployment in which environment validation is automatically performed by Kyvos Manager just before starting the cluster deployment provided the user has opted for environment validation.

2. Using standalone validation capability.  

For performing environment validation during automated deployment, there is no change or additional input provided/required in the resource creation wizard (I want to create resources) of Kyvos Manager. Preference, whether to perform environment validation during automated deployment or not, is completely governed by a parameter (flag) in the deployment template. If in that parameter user requests to perform environment validation, then environment validation is performed just before starting automated cluster deployment. When environment validation is requested and if the environment validation fails, then the cluster deployment is not started. If environment validation is not requested, then environment validation is skipped and the cluster deployment is started directly.  

Standalone environment validation always needs to be initiated by the user. This can be performed by executing a command and passing a few arguments (path of metadata folder/files and environment information file) into it. Details of exact commands and arguments are given in the steps below. One of the arguments is the path to the environment information details file. The environment details file is a property file that expects configuration values of the environment to be provided as a key-value pair in the property file. 

To manually validate the Kyvos resource, perform the following steps. 

1. Download the env-validation.jar file.

2. If you are running validation from a non-AWS machine, Validate node reachability using key file/secret/password (encrypted/decrypted).

3. Create a properties file, having the following parameters: 

4. Run the command:

   <KM install path>/kyvosmanager_war/kyvosmanager/jre/bin/java -cp <path>/env-validation*.jar com.kyvos.cloud.validators.EnvironmentValidationInitiator <KM install path>/kyvosmanager_war/kyvosmanagerdata/server/repo/metadata.Kyvos/metadata.Validations/aws/ <path>/aws.properties aws

5. Verify the logs generated in same folder where validation jar is executed.
