Automation Suite on EKS/AKS installation guide

Description​

Solution​

1. Make sure Helm 3.14 runs on the jumpbox or laptop used for installing Automation Suite.

2. Extract the configuration values of the failed Helm chart, which in this case is Velero:

   assignment

   helm -n velero get values velero > customvals.yaml
   helm -n velero get values velero > customvals.yaml
   

3. Add the missing image pull secret in the customvals.yaml file, under the .image.imagePullSecrets path:

   assignment

   image:
     imagePullSecrets:
     - uipathpullsecret
   image:
     imagePullSecrets:
     - uipathpullsecret
   

4. If Velero has already been installed, uninstall it:

   assignment

   helm uninstall -n velero velero
   helm uninstall -n velero velero
   

5. Create a new file called velerosecrets.txt. Populate it with your specific information, as shown in the following example:

   assignment

   AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET=<secretforserviceprincipal>
   AZURE_CLIENT_ID=<clientidforserviceprincipal>
   AZURE_TENANT_ID=<tenantidforserviceprincipal> 
   AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID=<subscriptionidforserviceprincipal>
   AZURE_CLOUD_NAME=AzurePublicCloud
   AZURE_RESOURCE_GROUP=<infraresourcegroupoftheakscluster>
   AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET=<secretforserviceprincipal>
   AZURE_CLIENT_ID=<clientidforserviceprincipal>
   AZURE_TENANT_ID=<tenantidforserviceprincipal> 
   AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID=<subscriptionidforserviceprincipal>
   AZURE_CLOUD_NAME=AzurePublicCloud
   AZURE_RESOURCE_GROUP=<infraresourcegroupoftheakscluster>
   

6. Encode the velerosecrets.txt file:

   assignment

   export b64velerodata=$(cat velerosecrets.txt | base64)
   export b64velerodata=$(cat velerosecrets.txt | base64)
   

7. Create the velero-azure secret in the velero namespace. Include the following content:

   assignment

   apiVersion: v1
   kind: Secret
   metadata:
     name: velero-azure
     namespace: velero
   data:
     cloud: <put the $b64velerodata value here>
   apiVersion: v1
   kind: Secret
   metadata:
     name: velero-azure
     namespace: velero
   data:
     cloud: <put the $b64velerodata value here>
   

8. Reinstall Velero:

   assignment

   helm install velero -n velero <path to velero - 3.1.6 helm chart tgz> -f customvals.yaml
   helm install velero -n velero <path to velero - 3.1.6 helm chart tgz> -f customvals.yaml
