About the Lab Environment

Summary of what you can expect in this program

1 - Linux VM with local k8s-cluster
2 - Cluster Namespaces
4 - Apps (Camunda, ELK, Prometheus & Grafana)
6 - Guided parts on the portal to assist you with the installation, run pre-built BPMN solution for Lead To Opportunity, build a Kibana dashboard and more
7 - User accounts to manage it all
8 - Hours of dedicated access to the environment for each participant
20 - Shell commands issued to get the platform up & running
25 - Pods or containers running

Below diagrams represent a summary view of the resources provisioned to support this program: Camunda + Kubernetes Playground.

The resources are subject to the security principles that are typically applied to public cloud environments.

Each participant will be granted access to use them for the duration of this program.

Logical View: represents the list of services that compose of the end to end solution
Physical View: guides you to envisage the physical layout and the flow of transactions and control as you build the platform from the base.
A comprehensive list of all “user accounts” referred to during this program.

Be aware that security controls are applied to ensure safe access is extended to each participant. If you have any questions, please contact the Program Coordinator.

Physical Architecture

Base Server OS Linux VM	FQDN: `c8-<xyz>.makelabs.in` Hostname: `c8-<xyz>` xyz = generic name such as city name (hampi, peru, nyc) or fruit name (mango) or color (blue) or chemical periodic table (cobalt) Specification: Ubuntu Pro version 24.04 20 vCPU 32 GB RAM 100 GB Disk space GUI available: yes Command Line Shell: bash
kubernetes-local cluster	Consists of four virtual nodes. All the nodes share the same underlying resources of the base OS – as shown above
Namespaces within the cluster	elastic c86-mini Note: We will be creating these during the hands on labs.
Chrome Remote Desktop	Remote access software
Lab instructions and test scripts	Portal site – cep-now.makelabs.in
Supporting apps	Postman (on cloud) Docker site (access token to pull images from the docker repository) Gmail account (for Chrome Remote acccess)

Application Architecture

Name	Details	Security Controls
External Access	Cloudflare (Handling domain such as `makelabs.in`, security and routing)	Program Coordinator
Compute Layer	Ubuntu Pro VM on GCP Hosting server apps – Rancher Desktop by SUSE: Local kubernetes cluster with 4 virtual nodes – Project Lens IDE for kubernetes Note: These two apps are pre-installed and configured on the provisioned Linux VM.	Participant & Program Coordinator
Application Layer	Below apps are deployed to the `kubernetes-local` env. – Camunda self-managed `8.7.0-alpha4` with Keycloak for User Access Management – Elasticsearch 8.5.1 and Kibana – Prometheus and Grafana	Participant

All Pods View

At the end of deploying the requisite apps, you should see below set of pods running in the local cluster.

All User Accounts

Below are the comprehensive set of user accounts that are used in this program.

Component	Accessible via Internet (External Access)	User-id	Notes
Ubuntu Pro Linux VM	Yes	ubuntu raghu	For majority of the steps, you will be using the account “raghu”. The popup windows ask for password associated with user account “ubuntu”. Example – access to Default ring, saving user preferences etc.
Ubuntu Pro Linux VM	Yes	6 digit number	To sign in via Chrome Remote Desktop
Elastic and Kibana	No	elastic
Camunda Webapps: – Operate – Tasklist – Optimize	Yes	demo
Camunda Keycloak (User Management)	Yes	admin	Keycloak administration account
Camunda Connectors (inbound webhook)	Yes	—	Secured via x-pi-key
Grafana	No	admin	Password is auto generated. Refer to Part 4 for more details.
