Preparing an Environment

ECS

This server functions as a DevCloud task deployment host to deploy and update FunctionGraph functions.

• Specifications: 1 vCPU | 1 GiB
• Image: CentOS 8.2 64 bits
• Other: Configure an EIP because you will need to install the Python library and DevCloud and configure the ECS as a deployment host.
• DevCloud uses this server as a deployment host through port 22 over SSH. For high security, add the following IP addresses to the security group of the server. Otherwise, authorization will fail.

  42.202.130.147

  49.4.3.11

  122.112.212.206

  139.159.226.153

  49.4.85.127

  124.70.46.237

5. Return to the ECS console, click the ECS name, and change the security group to functions-deploy.

Installing Python Libraries

Run the following commands to install the pyyaml and pycryptodome libraries: The two libraries will respectively parse the cam.yaml configuration file of your function and encrypts and decrypts the function's environment variables.

pip3 install pyyaml

pip3 install pycryptodome

Installing KooCLI

1. Install KooCLI.

   Remotely log in to the purchased ECS, and run the following command to install KooCLI:

   curl -sSL https://ap-southeast-3-hwcloudcli.obs.ap-southeast-3.myhuaweicloud.com/cli/latest/hcloud_install.sh -o ./hcloud_install.sh && bash ./hcloud_install.sh

   Figure 5 Installing KooCLI
   

2. Initialize KooCLI.

   Run the following command to initialize KooCLI:

   hcloud configure init

   Enter an access key ID (AK), secret access key (SK), and region name. For details about how to obtain them, see 3 and 4.

   Figure 6 Initializing KooCLI
   
3. Obtain an access key (AK/SK).
   • If you have access to the console, log in, and create an access key on the My Credentials page. For details, see Creating an Access Key. An AK/SK file is downloaded. Generally, it is named credentials.csv. As shown in the following figure, the file contains a username, AK, and SK.
     Figure 7 Content of the credentials.csv file
     
   • If you do not have access to the console, request the administrator to create an access key for you on the IAM console in case your access key is lost or needs to be reset. For details, see Managing Access Keys for an IAM User.
4. Obtain a region name.
   For details, see Regions and Endpoints.
