Overview

In this lab, you create a CI/CD pipeline that automatically builds a container image from committed code, stores the image in Artifact Registry, updates a Kubernetes manifest in a Git repository, and deploys the application to Google Kubernetes Engine using that manifest.

For this lab you will create 2 Git repositories:

• app repository: contains the source code of the application itself
• env repository: contains the manifests for the Kubernetes Deployment

When you push a change to the app repository, the Cloud Build pipeline runs tests, builds a container image, and pushes it to Artifact Registry. After pushing the image, Cloud Build updates the Deployment manifest and pushes it to the env repository. This triggers another Cloud Build pipeline that applies the manifest to the GKE cluster and, if successful, stores the manifest in another branch of the env repository.

The app and env repositories are kept separate because they have different lifecycles and uses. The main users of the app repository are actual humans and this repository is dedicated to a specific application. The main users of the env repository are automated systems (such as Cloud Build), and this repository might be shared by several applications. The env repository can have several branches that each map to a specific environment (you only use production in this lab) and reference a specific container image, whereas the app repository does not.

When you finish this lab, you have a system where you can easily:

• Distinguish between failed and successful deployments by looking at the Cloud Build history.
• Access the manifest currently used by looking at the production branch of the env repository.
• Rollback to any previous version by re-executing the corresponding Cloud Build build.

Objectives

In this lab, you learn how to perform the following tasks:

• Create Kubernetes Engine clusters
• Create GitHub Repositories
• Trigger Cloud Build from GitHub Repositories
• Automate tests and publish a deployable container image via Cloud Build
• Manage resources deployed in a Kubernetes Engine cluster via Cloud Build

Setup and requirements

Before you click the Start Lab button

Read these instructions. Labs are timed and you cannot pause them. The timer, which starts when you click Start Lab, shows how long Google Cloud resources will be made available to you.

This hands-on lab lets you do the lab activities yourself in a real cloud environment, not in a simulation or demo environment. It does so by giving you new, temporary credentials that you use to sign in and access Google Cloud for the duration of the lab.

To complete this lab, you need:

• Access to a standard internet browser (Chrome browser recommended).

Note: Use an Incognito or private browser window to run this lab. This prevents any conflicts between your personal account and the Student account, which may cause extra charges incurred to your personal account.

• Time to complete the lab---remember, once you start, you cannot pause a lab.

Note: If you already have your own personal Google Cloud account or project, do not use it for this lab to avoid extra charges to your account.

How to start your lab and sign in to the Google Cloud console

1. Click the Start Lab button. If you need to pay for the lab, a pop-up opens for you to select your payment method. On the left is the Lab Details panel with the following:

   • The Open Google Cloud console button
   • Time remaining
   • The temporary credentials that you must use for this lab
   • Other information, if needed, to step through this lab

2. Click Open Google Cloud console (or right-click and select Open Link in Incognito Window if you are running the Chrome browser).

   The lab spins up resources, and then opens another tab that shows the Sign in page.

   Tip: Arrange the tabs in separate windows, side-by-side.

   Note: If you see the Choose an account dialog, click Use Another Account.

3. If necessary, copy the Username below and paste it into the Sign in dialog.

   {{{user_0.username | "Username"}}}

   You can also find the Username in the Lab Details panel.

4. Click Next.

5. Copy the Password below and paste it into the Welcome dialog.

   {{{user_0.password | "Password"}}}

   You can also find the Password in the Lab Details panel.

6. Click Next.

   Important: You must use the credentials the lab provides you. Do not use your Google Cloud account credentials. Note: Using your own Google Cloud account for this lab may incur extra charges.

7. Click through the subsequent pages:

   • Accept the terms and conditions.
   • Do not add recovery options or two-factor authentication (because this is a temporary account).
   • Do not sign up for free trials.

After a few moments, the Google Cloud console opens in this tab.

Note: To view a menu with a list of Google Cloud products and services, click the Navigation menu at the top-left.

Activate Cloud Shell

Cloud Shell is a virtual machine that is loaded with development tools. It offers a persistent 5GB home directory and runs on the Google Cloud. Cloud Shell provides command-line access to your Google Cloud resources.

1. Click Activate Cloud Shell at the top of the Google Cloud console.

When you are connected, you are already authenticated, and the project is set to your Project_ID, . The output contains a line that declares the Project_ID for this session:

Your Cloud Platform project in this session is set to {{{project_0.project_id | "PROJECT_ID"}}}

gcloud is the command-line tool for Google Cloud. It comes pre-installed on Cloud Shell and supports tab-completion.

2. (Optional) You can list the active account name with this command:

gcloud auth list

3. Click Authorize.

Output:

ACTIVE: * ACCOUNT: {{{user_0.username | "ACCOUNT"}}} To set the active account, run: $ gcloud config set account `ACCOUNT`

4. (Optional) You can list the project ID with this command:

gcloud config list project

Output:

[core] project = {{{project_0.project_id | "PROJECT_ID"}}} Note: For full documentation of gcloud, in Google Cloud, refer to the gcloud CLI overview guide.

Task 1. Initialize Your Lab

1. In Cloud Shell, set your project ID and project number. Save them as PROJECT_ID and PROJECT_NUMBER variables:

export PROJECT_ID=$(gcloud config get-value project) export PROJECT_NUMBER=$(gcloud projects describe $PROJECT_ID --format='value(projectNumber)') export REGION={{{ project_0.default_region }}} gcloud config set compute/region $REGION

In the next task you will prepare your Google Cloud Project for use by enabling the required APIs, initializing the git configuration in Cloud Shell, and downloading the sample code used later in the lab.

2. Run the following command to enable the APIs for GKE, Cloud Build, Secret Manager and Container Analysis:

gcloud services enable container.googleapis.com \ cloudbuild.googleapis.com \ secretmanager.googleapis.com \ containeranalysis.googleapis.com

3. Create an Artifact Registry Docker repository named my-repository in the region to store your container images:

gcloud artifacts repositories create my-repository \ --repository-format=docker \ --location=$REGION

4. Create a GKE cluster to deploy the sample application of this lab:

gcloud container clusters create hello-cloudbuild --num-nodes 1 --region $REGION

Run the following command:

curl -sS https://webi.sh/gh | sh gh auth login gh api user -q ".login" GITHUB_USERNAME=$(gh api user -q ".login") git config --global user.name "${GITHUB_USERNAME}" git config --global user.email "${USER_EMAIL}" echo ${GITHUB_USERNAME} echo ${USER_EMAIL}

Press Enter to accept the default options. Read the instructions in the CLI tool to Github Login with a web browser. If you have logged in successfully, it will show your GitHub username.

Click Check my progress to verify the objective. Enable services, create an artifact registry and the GKE cluster

Task 2. Create the Git repositories in GitHub Repositories

In this task, you create the two Git repositories (hello-cloudbuild-app and hello-cloudbuild-env) and initialize hello-cloudbuild-app with some sample code.

1. In Cloud Shell, run the following to create the two Git repositories:

gh repo create hello-cloudbuild-app --private gh repo create hello-cloudbuild-env --private

2. Download the sample code from Cloud Storage:

cd ~ mkdir hello-cloudbuild-app gcloud storage cp -r gs://spls/gsp1077/gke-gitops-tutorial-cloudbuild/* hello-cloudbuild-app

3. Configure Github Repository as a remote:

cd ~/hello-cloudbuild-app export REGION={{{project_0.default_region | "REGION"}}} sed -i "s/us-central1/$REGION/g" cloudbuild.yaml sed -i "s/us-central1/$REGION/g" cloudbuild-delivery.yaml sed -i "s/us-central1/$REGION/g" cloudbuild-trigger-cd.yaml sed -i "s/us-central1/$REGION/g" kubernetes.yaml.tpl PROJECT_ID=$(gcloud config get-value project) git init git config credential.helper gcloud.sh git remote add google https://github.com/${GITHUB_USERNAME}/hello-cloudbuild-app git branch -m master git add . && git commit -m "initial commit"

The code you just cloned contains a simple "Hello World" application.

from flask import Flask app = Flask('hello-cloudbuild') @app.route('/') def hello(): return "Hello World!\n" if __name__ == '__main__': app.run(host = '0.0.0.0', port = 8080)

Task 3. Create a container image with Cloud Build

The code you cloned already contains the following Dockerfile.

FROM python:3.7-slim RUN pip install flask WORKDIR /app COPY app.py /app/app.py ENTRYPOINT ["python"] CMD ["/app/app.py"]

With this Dockerfile, you can create a container image with Cloud Build and store it in Artifact Registry.

1. In Cloud Shell, create a Cloud Build build based on the latest commit with the following command:

cd ~/hello-cloudbuild-app COMMIT_ID="$(git rev-parse --short=7 HEAD)" gcloud builds submit --tag="${REGION}-docker.pkg.dev/${PROJECT_ID}/my-repository/hello-cloudbuild:${COMMIT_ID}" .

Cloud Build streams the logs generated by the creation of the container image to your terminal when you execute this command.

2. After the build finishes, in the Cloud console go to Artifact Registry > Repositories to verify that your new container image is indeed available in Artifact Registry. Click my-repository.

Click Check my progress to verify the objective. Create the container image with Cloud Build

Task 4. Create the Continuous Integration (CI) pipeline

In this task, you will configure Cloud Build to automatically run a small unit test, build the container image, and then push it to Artifact Registry. Pushing a new commit to GitHub Repositories triggers this pipeline automatically. The cloudbuild.yaml file already included in the code is the pipeline's configuration.

1. In the Cloud console, go to Cloud Build > Triggers.

2. Click Create Trigger

3. In the Name field, type hello-cloudbuild. Under Region select lab region .

4. Under Event, select Push to a branch.

5. Under Source, for Repository click Click Connect Repository.

   a. Select GitHub (Cloud Build GitHub App).Click Continue.

   b. Authenticate to your source repository with your username and password.

   c. If you get the pop up The GitHub App is not installed on any of your repositories then follow below steps.

   1. Click Install Google Cloud Build. Install the Cloud Build GitHub App in your account or in an organization you own. Permit the installation using your GitHub account.

   2. Under Repository access. Choose Only select repositories. Click the Select repositories dropdown and select the repository $${GITHUB_USERNAME}/hello-cloudbuild-app and $${GITHUB_USERNAME}/hello-cloudbuild-env.

   3. Click Install.

   d. Select ${GITHUB_USERNAME}/hello-cloudbuild-app for Repository. click Ok.

   e. Select the checkbox stating 'I understand that GitHub content for the selected repositories..'

   f. Click Connect.

6. If Cloud Build GitHub App already installed in your account or in an organization you own, you get the option to Edit Repositories on GitHub.

a. Under **Repository access**. Choose Only select repositories. Click the Select repositories dropdown and select the repository ${GITHUB_USERNAME}/hello-cloudbuild-app and ${GITHUB_USERNAME}/hello-cloudbuild-env. b. Click **Save**.

7. On the Trigger page from the list of available repositories, select the repository ${GITHUB_USERNAME}/hello-cloudbuild-app.
8. Under Source select .* (any branch) as your Branch
9. Under Build configuration, select Cloud Build configuration file.
10. In the Cloud Build configuration file location field, type cloudbuild.yaml after the /.
11. For the Service account, use the Compute Engine default service account.
12. Click Create.

When the trigger is created, return to the Cloud Shell. You now need to push the application code to GitHub Repositories to trigger the CI pipeline in Cloud Build.

10. To start this trigger, run the following command:

cd ~/hello-cloudbuild-app git add . git commit -m "Type Any Commit Message here" git push google master

11. In the Cloud console, go to Cloud Build > Dashboard.

12. You should see a build running or having recently finished. You can click on the build to follow its execution and examine its logs.

Click Check my progress to verify the objective. Create the Continuous Integration (CI) Pipeline

Task 5. Accessing GitHub from a build via SSH keys

In this step use the Secret Manager with Cloud Build to access private GitHub repositories.

Create a SSH key

1. In the cloud Shell change to home directory.

   cd ~

2. Create a new directory named workingdir and navigate into it:

   mkdir workingdir cd workingdir

3. Create a new GitHub SSH key, where github-email is your GitHub email address.

   ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -N '' -f id_github -C {your-github-email}

   This step will create two files id_github and id_github.pub.

4. Click on the three dots icon of the cloud shell. Click Toggle file browser and select the dropdown and workingdir folder to download the id_github file in your local machine.

Store the private SSH key in Secret Manager

1. In the Google Cloud console. Go to the Secret Manager.

2. On the Secret Manager page, click Create Secret.

3. On the Create secret page, under Name, enter a name for the secret as ssh_key_secret.

4. In the Secret value field, click Upload and upload your id_github file.

5. Leave the Regions section unchanged.

6. Click the Create secret button.

This will upload your id_github file to Secret Manager.

Add the public SSH key to your private repository's deploy keys

1. Login to GitHub

2. In the upper-right corner, click your profile photo, then click Your profile.

3. On your profile page, click Repositories, then click the name of your repository hello-cloudbuild-env.

4. From your repository, click Settings.

5. In the sidebar, click Deploy Keys, then click Add deploy key.

6. Provide a title SSH_KEY, paste your public SSH key from workingdir/id_github.pub from Cloud Shell.

7. Select Allow write access if you want this key to have write access to the repository. A deploy key with write access lets a deployment push to the repository.

8. Click Add key.

9. Delete the SSH key from your disk:

   rm id_github*

Grant permission to access Secret Manager to the service account

gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding ${PROJECT_NUMBER} \ --member=serviceAccount:${PROJECT_NUMBER}-compute@developer.gserviceaccount.com \ --role=roles/secretmanager.secretAccessor

Click Check my progress to verify the objective. Accessing GitHub from a build via SSH keys

Task 6. Create the Test Environment and CD pipeline

Cloud Build is also used for the continuous delivery pipeline. The pipeline runs each time a commit is pushed to the candidate branch of the hello-cloudbuild-env repository. The pipeline applies the new version of the manifest to the Kubernetes cluster and, if successful, copies the manifest over to the production branch. This process has the following properties:

• The candidate branch is a history of the deployment attempts.
• The production branch is a history of the successful deployments.
• You have a view of successful and failed deployments in Cloud Build.
• You can rollback to any previous deployment by re-executing the corresponding build in Cloud Build. A rollback also updates the production branch to truthfully reflect the history of deployments.

Next you will modify the continuous integration pipeline to update the candidate branch of the hello-cloudbuild-env repository, triggering the continuous delivery pipeline.

Grant Cloud Build access to GKE

To deploy the application in your Kubernetes cluster, Cloud Build needs the Kubernetes Engine Developer Identity and Access Management role.

1. In Cloud Shell execute the following command:

cd ~ PROJECT_NUMBER="$(gcloud projects describe ${PROJECT_ID} --format='get(projectNumber)')" gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding ${PROJECT_NUMBER} \ --member=serviceAccount:${PROJECT_NUMBER}@cloudbuild.gserviceaccount.com \ --role=roles/container.developer

You need to initialize the hello-cloudbuild-env repository with two branches (production and candidate) and a Cloud Build configuration file describing the deployment process.

The first step is to clone the hello-cloudbuild-env repository and create the production branch. It is still empty.

2. In Cloud Shell download the sample code from Cloud Storage:

mkdir hello-cloudbuild-env gcloud storage cp -r gs://spls/gsp1077/gke-gitops-tutorial-cloudbuild/* hello-cloudbuild-env cd hello-cloudbuild-env export REGION={{{project_0.default_region | "REGION"}}} sed -i "s/us-central1/$REGION/g" cloudbuild.yaml sed -i "s/us-central1/$REGION/g" cloudbuild-delivery.yaml sed -i "s/us-central1/$REGION/g" cloudbuild-trigger-cd.yaml sed -i "s/us-central1/$REGION/g" kubernetes.yaml.tpl

3. For Cloud Build to connect to GitHub, you must add the public SSH key to the known_hosts file in Cloud Build's build environment. In your hello-cloudbuild-env directory, create a file named known_hosts.github , add the public SSH key to this file amd provide the necessory permission to the file.

cd ~/hello-cloudbuild-env ssh-keyscan -t rsa github.com > known_hosts.github chmod +x known_hosts.github git init git config credential.helper gcloud.sh git remote add google https://github.com/${GITHUB_USERNAME}/hello-cloudbuild-env git branch -m master git add . && git commit -m "initial commit" git push google master cd ~/hello-cloudbuild-env git checkout -b production

4. Next you need to replace the cloudbuid.yaml file available in the hello-cloudbuild-env repository and commit the change:

cd ~/hello-cloudbuild-env

5. Replace the cloudbuid.yaml in the hello-cloudbuild-env repository with below code. Replace {GITHUB-USERNAME} with your github username

The cloudbuild.yaml file describes the deployment process to be run in Cloud Build. It has two steps:

• Cloud Build applies the manifest on the GKE cluster.
• If successful, Cloud Build copies the manifest on the production branch.

6. Create a candidate branch and push both branches for them to be available in GitHub Repositories:

git checkout -b candidate git push google production git push google candidate

Create the trigger for the continuous delivery pipeline

1. In the Cloud console, go to Cloud Build > Triggers.

2. Click Create Trigger.

3. In the Name field, type hello-cloudbuild-deploy. Under Region select lab region .

4. Under Event, select Push to a branch.

5. Under Source, for Repository click Click Connect new repository.

   a. Select GitHub (Cloud Build GitHub App).Click Continue.

   b. Authenticate to your source repository with your username and password.

   c. Select ${GITHUB_USERNAME}/hello-cloudbuild-env repository. click Ok.

   d. Select the checkbox stating 'I understand that GitHub content for the selected repositories..'

   e. Click Connect.

6. Under Repository select ${GITHUB_USERNAME}/hello-cloudbuild-env.

7. Under Source, select ^candidate$ as your Branch.

8. Under Build configuration, select Cloud Build configuration file.

9. In the Cloud Build configuration file location field, type cloudbuild.yaml after the /.

10. For the Service account, use the Compute Engine default service account.

11. Click Create.

12. In your hello-cloudbuild-app directory, create a file named known_hosts.github , add the public SSH key to this file amd provide the necessory permission to the file.

cd ~/hello-cloudbuild-app ssh-keyscan -t rsa github.com > known_hosts.github chmod +x known_hosts.github git add . git commit -m "Adding known_host file." git push google master

Modify the continuous integration pipeline to trigger the continuous delivery pipeline.

Next, add some steps to the continuous integration pipeline that will generate a new version of the Kubernetes manifest and push it to the hello-cloudbuild-env repository to trigger the continuous delivery pipeline.

1. Copy the extended version of the cloudbuild.yaml file for the app repository:

cd ~/hello-cloudbuild-app

The cloudbuild.yaml file adds the steps below: they generate the new Kubernetes manifest and trigger the continuous delivery pipeline.

Configure the build

1. Replace the cloudbuid.yaml file with below code. Replace ${GITHUB-USERNAME} with your github username.

In reality, you will benefit from using a dedicated tool such as kustomize or skaffold. They allow for more control over the rendering of the manifest templates.

2. Commit the modifications and push them to GitHub Repositories:

cd ~/hello-cloudbuild-app git add cloudbuild.yaml git commit -m "Trigger CD pipeline" git push google master

This triggers the continuous integration pipeline in Cloud Build.

Click Check my progress to verify the objective. Create the Test Environment and CD Pipeline

Task 7. Review Cloud Build Pipeline

1. In the Cloud console, go to Cloud Build > Dashboard.
2. Click into the hello-cloudbuild-app trigger to follow its execution and examine its logs. The last step of this pipeline pushes the new manifest to the hello-cloudbuild-env repository, which triggers the continuous delivery pipeline.

3. Return to the main Dashboard.
4. You should see a build running or having recently finished for the hello-cloudbuild-env repository. You can click on the build to follow its execution and examine its logs.

Task 8 . Test the complete pipeline

The complete CI/CD pipeline is now configured. Test it from end to end.

1. In the Cloud console, go to Kubernetes Engine > Gateways,Services & Ingress > Services.

There should be a single service called hello-cloudbuild in the list. It has been created by the continuous delivery build that just ran.

2. Click on the endpoint for the hello-cloudbuild service. You should see "Hello World!". If there is no endpoint, or if you see a load balancer error, you may have to wait a few minutes for the load balancer to be completely initialized. Click Refresh to update the page if needed.

3. In Cloud Shell, replace "Hello World" with "Hello Cloud Build", both in the application and in the unit test:

cd ~/hello-cloudbuild-app sed -i 's/Hello World/Hello Cloud Build/g' app.py sed -i 's/Hello World/Hello Cloud Build/g' test_app.py

4. Commit and push the change to GitHub Repositories:

git add app.py test_app.py git commit -m "Hello Cloud Build" git push google master

5. This triggers the full CI/CD pipeline.

After a few minutes, reload the application in your browser. You should now see "Hello Cloud Build!".

Task 9. Test the rollback

In this task, you rollback to the version of the application that said "Hello World!".

1. In the Cloud console, go to Cloud Build > Dashboard.
2. Click on View all link under Build History for the hello-cloudbuild-env repository.
3. Click on the second most recent build available.
4. Click Rebuild.

When the build is finished, reload the application in your browser. You should now see "Hello World!" again.

Congratulations!

Now you can use Cloud Build to create and rollback continuous integration pipelines with GKE on Google Cloud!
