Dear KNIME Community,
I was wondering whether anybody has experience with automated deployments on Azure. I am not super experienced in all options that are available in Azure, but got the gut feeling that ARM templates or Ansible could be suitable for this. I found some documentation in the KNIME docs, however the links to example ARM templates are broken.
The reason I am interested in templated deployments, is that I have to provide my own certificate (using Let’s Encrypt) and would like to automate those commands for retrieving it (since the setup I am currently creating has to be handed over and maintence and redeployment have to be as easy as possible).
In my ideal scenario I would like to have the following:
- Deploy a new version of KNIME Server using the Azure Marketplace (this includes the billing for the KNIME Server license)
- Run “post-installation”-scripts (installing the certificate)
- Tune the tomcat config (to match the newly installed certificate)
The reason Hashicorp Packer would not work (as far as I understand), is that this won’t include the license for the server, since that is managed via Azure Marketplace.
Is this approach even possible and how could I create this setup?
Thanks!
Lars
