Install Armory Continuous Deployment for Spinnaker in Air-Gapped Environments

Armory Continuous Deployment (Armory CD) requires a license. For more information, contact Armory.

Overview of air-gapped environments

An air-gapped deployment environment is one where any combination of the following conditions is true:

• Your deployment environment, such as a Kubernetes cluster, doesn’t have internet access AWS S3 bucket and docker.io.

If your deployment environment is air-gapped, you need to host the Armory Continuous Deployment Bill of Materials (BOM) and Docker images in a location that your deployment environment can access. To set this up, you need public internet access so you can get the BOM and images, authority to create or access internal storage and image hosting, and permissions to move the Armory Continuous Deployment materials to your internal systems.

The first step is to familiarize yourself with the Armory Continuous Deployment Bill of Materials.

Before you begin

• You have access to public AWS S3 buckets and docker.io.
• You have installed the AWS CLI.

Inspect the Armory Continuous Deployment Bill of Materials

Armory Continuous Deployment’s Bill of Materials (BOM) is stored in the public S3 bucket halconfig. You can see the contents of this bucket using the AWS CLI:

aws s3 ls s3://halconfig

There are bom and profiles directories as well as four files: versions-edge.yml, versions-ossedge.yml, version-rc.yml, and versions.yml.

You can view the content of s3://halconfig/versions.yml by executing:

aws s3 cp s3://halconfig/versions.yml -

Output is similar to:

latestHalyard: 1.10.1
latestSpinnaker: 2.25.0
versions:
    - version: 2.25.0
      alias: Spinnaker Release 1.25.3
      changelog: https://docs.armory.io/docs/release-notes/rn-armory-spinnaker/armoryspinnaker_v2-25-0/
      minimumHalyardVersion: 1.10.1
      lastUpdate: "1616710502000"

The bom folder contains files for each release. To see the BOM for a specific release, you can run:

 aws s3 ls s3://halconfig/bom/<release-number>.yml

Then you can inspect the file’s contents. For example, to see the BOM for release 2.25.0:

aws s3 cp s3://halconfig/bom/2.25.0.yml -

Output is similar to:
