Weekly Notes

For the week, I ran across a few things and wrote one blog for the IBM Power Developer Exchange.

  1. Provisioning Fedora CoreOS on QEMU

a. get the coreos container

STREAM="stable"
coreos-installer download -s "${STREAM}" -p qemu -f qcow2.xz --decompress -C ~/.local/share/libvirt/images/

b. create the qemu vm

IGNITION_CONFIG="/path/to/example.ign"
IMAGE="/path/to/image.qcow2"
# for s390x/ppc64le:
IGNITION_DEVICE_ARG="-drive file=${IGNITION_CONFIG},if=none,format=raw,readonly=on,id=ignition -device virtio-blk,serial=ignition,drive=ignition"

qemu-kvm -m 2048 -cpu host -nographic -snapshot \
	-drive if=virtio,file=${IMAGE} ${IGNITION_DEVICE_ARG}
	-nic user,model=virtio,hostfwd=tcp::2222-:22
  1. coreos/butane has a nice getting started page with advanced configuration for OpenShift 4.13 link
  2. A curated list of OCP Security and Compliance info

As you define, build, and run your OpenShift Container Platform cluster, you should be aware of the rich security features available. Here is a curated list of security and compliance focused resources on topics from configuring FIPS to using the Compliance Operator on the Power Platform: https://community.ibm.com/community/user/powerdeveloper/blogs/paul-bastide/2023/03/29/the-blog-of-blogs-security-and-compliance-resource #PDeX #IBM #IBMPower #RedHat #OpenShift #Containers #Security #Compliance
