Introduction
I'm creating this blog post to announce the assets I've created for deployment of IBM Security Verify Access in container environments. These are updates to assets I've previously posted for IBM Security Access Manager. Quite a few updates were required to my scripts (more from a naming point-of-view than anything) and I'm also going to have to work through my cookbooks to get them up to date with these changes.
Deployment assets available on GitHub
My assets for deploying IBM Security Verify Access in a variety of container environments are hosted on GitHub. They are publicly accessible. You can download a point-in-time version of the scripts as a zip file or, to stay current, I would recommend cloning the repository (as Git intended).
The URL for the repository is https://github.com/iamexploring/container-deployment.
The assets cover Native Docker, Docker Compose, Kubernetes, Helm, and OpenShift.
Helm Repository
In addition to the Helm Charts published as part of the assets above, a Helm repository for these charts is also available which can be used to load the charts directly. This repository is maintained within the IBM-Security organization on GitHub. To load the repository, use the command:
helm repo add stable https://raw.githubusercontent.com/IBM-Security/helm-charts/master/repo/stable
Cookbooks
Currently I have only updated one cookbook for Verify Access. More to follow.
Docker and Docker Compose Basics Cookbook
This cookbook covers some basic docker concepts and then provides step-by-step instructions for installing the Verify Access containers and performing an initial basic configuration. It starts with native docker deployment but also covers docker-compose. This is a great place to start with container deployment of IBM Security Verify Access.
