REST Container on

Using Samples

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Protegrity delivers a sample application as part of the REST Container installation package. The sample application consists of the following items:

Policy package.
Sample Postman collection (to test AP-REST Container Pods serving deployed IMP).
Autoscaling script (to push more load to the Kubernetes cluster to force autoscaling of the AP-REST Container Pods).

Run this sample application end-to-end, as a sanity test. This will enable them to confirm that the installation was completed accurately. In this section are details on the exact steps a customer must follow to run the sample application end-to-end. Those details explain usage of the components included in REST-Samples_Linux-ALL-ALL_x86-64_<AP-REST_version>.tgz archive.

Running the Autoscaling Script

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The Autoscaling script is used to issue continuous requests on the AP-REST containers. When the number of REST requests hitting the container are increased, with Horizontal Pod Autoscaling, Kubernetes automatically scales the number of pods based on the CPU utilization observed.

The user can run the autoscaling script from any Linux node, which can connect the external IP for the deployment.

Usage

./Sample_App_autoscale.sh <Ingress address> <CA certificate path> <Client certificate path> <Client key path> <version_endpoint>

Using Dockerfiles to Build Custom Images

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Protegrity base images use the default RHEL Universal Base Image. Using Dockerfiles, you can use a base image of your choice.

To create custom image:

Download the installation package.

For more information about downloading the installation package, refer to the section Extracting the Installation Package.

Important: The dependency packages required for building the Docker images are specified in the HOW-TO-BUILD file, which is a part of the installation package. You must ensure that these dependency packages can be downloaded either from the Internet or from your internal repository.

Appendix - Deploying the Helm Charts by Using the Set Argument

To deploy Helm charts using the set argument:

Navigate to the directory where you have stored the values.yaml file for deploying the corresponding Helm chart.
Deploy the Helm chart using the following command.

 helm install <name for this helm deployment> <Location of the directory that contains the Helm chart> -n <Namespace>
 --set <tag 1>="Value 1"
 --set <tag 2>="Value 2"
 --set <tag 3>="Value 3"
 --set <tag 4>="Value 4"
