​Are you familiar with docker-compose in the Workload Automation (WA) deployment process? 
 
It’s about time you started using it to deploy Workload Automation containers. 
The 3 “S” joint venture of WA, along with Docker Compose, stand by the following slogans:

  • Simplicity?!?!?!? Not more than 5 steps …………. 
  • Speed?!?!?!? Just enough time for a coffee break …….
  • Security?!?!?! No worries, we take care of everything ………
Picture
​Let’s start the 3 “S” adventure!

  1. If you are an IBM customer retrieve your IBM entitled key to access the IBM Entitled Registry or request a new one. To request a new one, see https://github.com/WorkloadAutomation/ibm-workload-automation-docker-compose/blob/master/README.md.

    If you are an HCL customer, ask to your Sales representative for a HCL entitled key. For more information, see 
    https://github.com/WorkloadAutomation/hcl-workload-automation-docker-compose/blob/master/README.md.

  2. If you are an IBM customer, log in to the IBM Entitled Registry and look for the most recent WA docker images:
docker login -u cp -p <your_IBM_entitled_key> cp.icr.io
 
You should find entries similar to the following in the IBM Entitled Registry:
cp.icr.io/cp/ibm-workload-automation-agent-dynamic:9.5.0.02.20200727
cp.icr.io/cp/ibm-workload-automation-server:9.5.0.02.20200727
cp.icr.io/cp/ibm-workload-automation-console:9.5.0.02.2020072
 
If you are an HCL customer, log in to the HCL Entitled Registry and look for the most recent WA docker images:
docker login -u <your_username> -p <your_HCL_entitled_key> hclcr.io
 
You should find entries similar to the following in the HCL Entitled Registry:
hclcr.io/wa/hcl-workload-automation-agent-dynamic:9.5.0.02.20200727
hclcr.io/wa/hcl-workload-automation-server:9.5.0.02.20200727
hclcr.io/wa/hcl-workload-automation-console:9.5.0.02.20200727
 

3. Clone the Workload Automation public Docker Compose repository on your machine by running:  
IBM:
git clone https://github.com/WorkloadAutomation/ibm-workload-automation-docker-compose.git
 
or
 
HCL:
git clone https://github.com/WorkloadAutomation/hcl-workload-automation-docker-compose.git
 
 
Otherwise, if you do not have Git installed on your machine, download the zipped file from the main page of the repository by clicking “Code” and select “Download zip file”.

4. Customize the WA container installation parameters as required by modifying them in your local docker-compose.yml file.

5. Accept the license in wa.env and, additionally, for HCL customers only, set the Flexera License ID. 

6. To start the WA containers, from the directory where the docker-compose.yml file has been cloned, run the following command:  
      docker-compose up –d
 
 
And that’s it! Now go have a coffee while the WA containers get up and running, and by the time you’re done, they’ll be ready to use …………
 
If you’re curious, then try it out and become a 3 “S” joint venture sponsor user!
