Getting Started

Overview

This section describes the environments, applications, and components of ServiceStage.

• An environment is a combination of compute resources (such as CCE clusters), network resources (such as load balancers and EIPs), and middleware (such as DCS instances, RDS instances, and CSE engines). When deploying applications and components, you need to select an environment. After the environment is selected, the resources contained in the environment are automatically loaded.
• An application is a service system with functions and consists of one or more components. For example, a typical Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system is an application, which generally consists of modules such as accounting, finance, production control, logistics, procurement, distribution, and inventory. These modules are closely related to each other, and each module is a component.
• A component is an implementation of a service feature of an application, for example, a module of the preceding ERP system. In microservice application scenarios, each component has an independent software package and can be deployed and run independently. The deployed component is called a component instance. A component can have multiple component instances to form a cluster to ensure high reliability of applications and components. O&M operations are supported, such as starting, stopping, deploying (upgrading), rolling back, and scaling application component instances, viewing logs, viewing events, setting access modes, and setting threshold alarms.

This document describes how to set up an environment, create an application, create and deploy a component, confirm the deployment, access the application, and perform application O&M.

Prerequisites

1. Create a VPC. For details, see Creating a VPC.
2. Create a CCE cluster. For details, see Creating a CCE Cluster.

   The cluster must contain at least one ECS node with 8 vCPUs and 16 GB memory or two ECS nodes with 4 vCPUs and 8 GB memory and be bound to an EIP.

3. Create a bucket for storing software packages. For details, see Creating a Bucket.
4. For details about how to create a microservice engine with security authentication disabled, see Creating a Microservice Engine.
5. This example provides a microservice demo, which is compiled, built, and packaged locally. You must install the Java JDK and Maven on the local host and the local host can access the Maven central library.

   After the installation, open the Command Prompt, and run the mvn -v command to query the versions of Java JDK and Maven. If their versions are displayed, the installation is successful. In this example, Maven 3.6.3 and JDK 1.8.0 are used.

   Apache Maven 3.6.3 (cecedd343002696d0abb50b32b541b8a6ba2883f)
   ...
   Java version: 1.8.0_201,......

Preparing Software Packages

1. Download the microservice demo source code package to the local host and decompress it.
2. In the root directory of the project (for example, D:\servicecomb-samples-master\servicecomb-samples-master\ServiceComb-SpringMVC), run the cmd and mvn clean package commands to compile and package the Java project.

   D:\servicecomb-samples-master\servicecomb-samples-master\ServiceComb-SpringMVC>mvn clean package
   ......
   [INFO] --- maven-jar-plugin:2.6:jar (default-jar) @ servicecomb ---
   [INFO] Building jar: D:\servicecomb-samples-master\servicecomb-samples-master\ServiceComb-SpringMVC\target\servicecomb-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
   [INFO]
   [INFO] --- spring-boot-maven-plugin:1.5.9.RELEASE:repackage (default) @ servicecomb ---
   [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
   [INFO] BUILD SUCCESS
   ......

   After compilation, the servicecomb-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar software package is generated in the target subdirectory in the root directory of the project (for example, D:\servicecomb-samples-master\servicecomb-samples-master\ServiceComb-SpringMVC\target), and the message "BUILD SUCCESS" is displayed.

3. Upload the generated servicecomb-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar software package to the created OBS bucket.

   For details about how to upload the software package, see Uploading a File.
