I just want to build a VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Cluster to learn the various Data Management capabilities e.g. Backup/Restore, Disaster Recovery and Application Mobility. It is challenging to create a Tanzu cluster if you are not familiar to it. After the cluster is up running, you still need to install Kasten, create a sample DB, create policies etc.. The whole process is not that simple.

This script based automation allows you to protect containers on a running TKGm cluster on AWS Cloud in ~3 minutes. If you don't have a VMware TKGm cluster, you can watch the Youtube video and follow the guide to build a TKGm cluster on AWS Cloud. Once the TKGm cluster is up running, you can proceed to the next steps.

Here're the prerequisities.

1. Log in to the terminal where you can access the TKGm Cluster via Kubectl
2. Clone the github repo to your local host, run below command

git clone https://github.com/yongkanghe/tkg-k10.git

3. Complete the preparation tasks first, set the worker cluster name

cd tkg-k10;./vmwprep.sh

4. Optionally to customize region, bucketname, object storage profile etc.

vim setenv.sh

To build the labs, run

./k10-deploy.sh

1. Install Kasten K10
2. Deploy a Postgresql database
3. Create a AWS S3 location profile
4. Create a backup policy
5. Run an on-demand backup job

To delete the labs, run

./k10-destroy.sh

1. Remove Postgresql Database
2. Remove Kasten K10
3. Remove all the relevant disks
4. Remove all the relevant snapshots
5. Remove the objects from the bucket

3 minutes to protect containers on TKGm Cluster
