Tag Example

Goals

• Create a tag for an IP address

• Add a parent tag for the IP tag

• Reference the parent tag in a resource’s permit list

• Add a new tag to the parent tag

• See that the resource’s permit list has been updated accordingly

Installation

$ git clone https://github.com/paraglider-project/paraglider
$ cd paraglider
$ make build install

Controller Setup

$ glided startup <path_to_config>

You can find example configuration files in the tools/examples/controller-configs directory.

Note

This example will create a VM in GCP. You can create the VM in whichever cloud you prefer. Make sure that your chosen cloud provider is configured in the controller configuration file.

Steps

1. Create a tag for an IP address with name iptag

   $ glide tag set iptag --ip 1.1.1.1
   

2. Assign iptag to a parent tag named parenttag

   $ glide tag set parenttag --children iptag
   

3. Resolve the parent tag down to list of names

   $ glide tag get parenttag --resolve
   

4. Create a resource name vm1

   $ glide resource create gcp vm1 <path_to_config>
   

   Note

   You can find example configuration files in the tools/examples/vm-configs directory.

4. Add a rule referencing the parent tag to a resource

   $ glide rule add gcp vm1 --ping parenttag
   

5. Create a tag, iptag2

   $ glide tag set iptag2 --ip 2.2.2.2
   

6. Add iptag2 to parenttag

   $ glide tag set parenttag --children iptag2
   

7. Get the permit list of the resource we added to

   $ glide rule get gcp vm1
   

8. Resolve the parent tag

   $ glide tag get parenttag --resolve
