The Operate First initiative currently manages two clusters within the MOC environment.

• Smaug cluster for all user workloads
• Infra cluster for cluster management, housing ACM and ArgoCD

Operate First deploys the following cluster within the EMEA region.

• Rick cluster for experimental user workloads

OS-Climate (OSC) cluster provides a unified, open Multimodal Data Processing platform used by OS-Climate members to collect, normalize and integrate climate and ESG data from public and private sources.

Operate First manages various applications and services in the environments listed above.

• Grafana

  • We use Grafana for monitoring and dashboards
  • To request access to Grafana, please file an issue here

• Open Data Hub

  • We manage a deployment of Open Data Hub (ODH) on the Smaug cluster and OSC cluster
  • Read more about our deployment of ODH and access our dashboard

• ArgoCD

  • We manage a multi-tenant deployment of ArgoCD on the MOC Infra cluster
  • Anyone can be onboarded to this ArgoCD instance and use it to deploy to any cluster managed by Operate First
    • Before being onboarded to ArgoCD, you must be onboarded to the OCP cluster you wish to deploy your applications on
    • Request access to an OCP cluster by filing an issue here and ArgoCD by filing an issue here
  • Console: https://argocd.operate-first.cloud

• Observatorium

  Note: Links are currently outdated as Observatorium is being migrated to Smaug cluster. We will update this document with the new routes once the migration is complete.

  • We have an instance of Observatorium currently being used to provision Thanos and Loki
  • Thanos enables long term storage for Prometheus (deployed by ODH)
    • Anyone can enable their applications deployed on the Smaug cluster to be monitored by this Prometheus instance
    • To do so, follow the instructions here and make a pull request against this repo
  • Loki is used to query logs; click here to learn more about sending or retrieving logs using Loki
  • Thanos: http://thanos-query-frontend-opf-observatorium.apps.zero.massopen.cloud

• OpenShift Data Foundation

  • We deploy the OpenShift Data Foundation (ODF) operator on the Smaug cluster
  • ODF provides both persistent volumes and S3 compatible object storage via Rook Operator
  • Users can deploy their own S3 buckets via ObjectBucketClaims. Visit this page for more information and request an S3 bucket by filing an issue here.

• Dex OIDC Provider

  • We manage an instance of Dex on the Smaug cluster to provide authentication for some of our services
  • Our Dex instance can also be used to drive authentication for other users. While documents are not yet available for this, experienced users can find the configurations here
