Utilizing IBM Cloud VPC images to maximize their potential

Maximizing Performance with IBM Cloud VPC Images

IBM Cloud VPC instances are created using images. Choose a stock, custom, or catalog image based on your needs. What are stock pics?

What are stock images?

The default operating system for IBM Cloud VPC environments is a stock image. It deploys virtual or bare metal servers of various architectures.

These images have all the configurations needed to provision a server and deploy instances quickly. IBM updates stock images, but users should apply the latest vendor fixes and packages when provisioning an instance.

IBM offers many alternatives. On IBM Cloud VPC, IBM support Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Windows Server, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, Debian, Ubuntu, Rocky Linux, CentOS Stream, and Fedora.

IBM will follow each vendor’s end-of-support (EOS) dates for most of these images. IBM will assign stock photos three statuses based on their stage to manage their lifecycle:

Available

Deprecated

Obsolete

If an OS is supported by the vendor, IBM’s current stock image will always be “available”. Outdated versions will be marked “deprecated”. Stock photos with vendor-set OS expiration dates are marked “obsolete”.

Remember that you can launch instances using available and deprecated instances, but not obsolete stock images.

Stock photos may be deployed and used immediately for any purpose, which is a major benefit. Custom images can be made from stock photographs.

Instance deployment using stock pictures

1. Click Change image on the instance creation page’s image and profile section.

2. A side panel will display all stock photos for architecture selection:

3. Type the OS name into the filter on the Stock pictures tab, pick it, and click Save:

4. After closing the side panel, the UI should show the new stock image:

Describe custom images

Customers develop virtual servers using custom operating system images with their own specifications. Antivirus, databases, and other software can be added to custom images. You can generate a custom picture by leveraging an existing instance with a customized base stock image or by creating and importing it on-premises.

Custom image owners set the image status (available, deprecated, or obsolete), unlike IBM for stock photos.

End-of-support (EOS) photos are not instantly “deprecated” like stock photographs, but the same rules apply. Planning the lifecycle of your images will save your firm time and resources and help it innovate by adopting the newest OS versions.

Custom images let you preserve your settings and setups. Use a custom image to deploy more instances in the same area, control their lifespan, and export and import into another region to deploy instances there.

Custom image creation

1. Select Images and click Create on the VPC menu.

2. Name your custom image.

3. You can customize an instance image. Stop the instance before creating the custom image.

4. Select an instance’s boot volume to create a custom image. Like the previous step, halt the instance before creating the custom image.

5. You can import Cloud Object Storage images. You must save the picture in a COS bucket and specify the base operating system when importing.

6. Provide the picture file URL and base OS to import from COS.

7. Choose encryption.

8. Custom image lifecycle management is optional. You can set the deprecation date, obsolete date, or both in advance by date or days.

Custom image instance deployment

1. Click Change picture under picture and profile.

2. After choosing the architecture type, choose Custom images, select the custom image you need to deploy an instance, and click Save.

What are catalog images?

Catalog images are bespoke images you or an IBM partner add into a private or public catalog. Other cloud providers call them marketplace images. Each catalog image will include an IBM Cloud Catalog tile. Only virtual servers support catalog images; bare metal servers are not supported.

Enterprise accounts can exchange custom photos via private catalogs. Multiple accounts (or selected accounts) within the same enterprise can have product access managed. The only restriction is that encrypted images cannot be cataloged and must be “available”.

Image lifecycle management at the catalog level includes “available,” “deprecated,” and “obsolete” states. Set the following catalog statuses:

The Catalog lists “available” as “published/verified” in VPC.

“Deprecated” is the same in VPC and Catalog.

The Catalog lists VPC “obsolete” items as “archived”.

IBM Partners and ISVs can share IBM Catalog pictures using public catalogs.  Partners and ISVs must undergo onboarding before publishing photographs publicly from the collection.

IBM partners can only accept free products today. In future project deliveries, they will be able to onboard charged images and get paid by IBM customers for consumption, exactly as other cloud providers in their markets.

Using catalog images to deploy instances

1. Select Change picture under picture and profile.

2. Select a catalog image from your account under the Catalog images tab.

3. Click Save and create instance.

Learn more

IBM offer several business images depending on your goals.

Stock images are best for quickly deploying instances. Custom images are best for replicating or moving setups to different regions or zones. Finally, a catalog picture is best for using the photographs of a trusted third-party seller or sharing them within your company.

Virtual spaces in a grid

Drawing about theme of virtual space. Such a grid. Which often you can see as a theme for wallpaper. If to surf net. So, it is a typical image, it is connected with aesthetic of retro wave. And everything that is similar, like 8 bit, virtual space, retro wave. And it is now a moment for me to create something like this, image with space made of grid. I was all the time impressed how other can do this.

And this is my drawing about the same theme. Two pictures. One is made in palette with parameters CGA RGB Color OFF, and second is made with palette from Nes 8 bit.

Let’s move to grid CGA. At first. We have here a space. With clouds and stars. It is simply space. Dreams in retro clouds. Flight amongst the clouds. Retro. And not to be lost here - there is a grid here. For navigation in this space. It is more simple space. You can test flight here. Or just walk. There is no gravity here.

And now let’s move to space Nes 8 bit. It is a filed. With chamomile or sunflowers. 8 bit flowers and grass. So here it is going a raining. Which is giving water to little flowers. It is already more made retro 8 bit space. It exists with more length in time. And it is updated with objects. So, here it is gravity. And already plants are growing. Clouds are making a rain. And you can have a walk into this 8 bit field.

Maybe to remember your country house memories. As you play 8 bit Nes videogames at the country house. For example. Or some another system. Watched VHS videotapes. Moment of nostalgia about 80s. 8 bit field is calling you to run here. And get yourself under the rain. And with a fun to run back to your house.

Grass is such green and so familiar, which you can see in the field. Chamomile and sunflowers also are well known for you. Even form of clouds, looks like, is taken from 8 bit games from cartridges. From some kind Adventure Island. But, well, no, not out of this game. Grass will grow. And maybe even birds will fly and a little house to appear.

Dima Link is making retro videogames, apps, a little of music, write stories, and some retro more.

On-premises network and IBM Cloud VPC via oneVPN

It’s essential to create secure connections between networks and resources in order to guarantee data privacy and trustworthy access. But it gets difficult to keep up with all the connections we make since there are so many of them.

Fortunately, IBM’s VPN services, Client-to-Site VPN and Site-to-Site VPN, allow you to immediately optimize your VPN connections. To connect to your IBM Cloud and on-premises environments via a single Client-to-Site VPN connection, feel free to follow the procedures provided in this blog article. You can read more about these offerings here.

Figure 1 below shows a graphic representation of the use case. A single Client-to-Site VPN connection is used by end users to access to both the VSIs in their IBM Cloud VPC and the instances and databases in their on-premises environment:

Your IBM Cloud account must first deploy a Client-to-Site VPN server and gateway for this optimal design.

Prerequisites

An IBM Cloud account with a VPC and at least one VSI to verify VPN connections.

IAM rights, Security Groups, and ACLs needed to create VPN gateways and other resources.

On-premises peer device and Subnet CIDR data.

Your local laptop’s OpenVPN client will verify VPN connectivity.

Steps to set up both VPNs simultaneously

Create a Site-to-Site VPN first, then a Client-to-Site VPN. To connect VPNs, we’ll construct routes, authentication, and service-to-service authorisation after deployment. Finally, we’ll install OpenVPN on the laptop and test IBM Cloud and on-premises connectivity. Each step will be explained below.

Create the Site-to-Site VPN gateway

Before starting this phase, gather your on-premises Peer Gateway, Preshared Key, and IKE and IPsec policies.

Log in to IBM Cloud Catalog, search “VPN” and pick VPC VPN. Choose Site-to-site gateways and enter the gateway’s deployment location and other information. Choose route-based for the VPN tunnel.

Click the right-hand Create VPN gateway button. This connects your IBM Cloud to your on-premises data center via VPN. The IBM Cloud portal should show the gateway as active after creation. Right now, the connection is ready to transport IBM Cloud traffic to your on-premises system.

Create Site-to-Site VPN routes

After connecting to the VPN, we’ll design VPN routes to connect IBM Cloud VPC to your on-premises router. Create a VPN route in the VPC Routing Tables or use an existing one. Enter all needed fields. As an example:

Subnet destination: on-premises CIDR

Action: Deliver

Type of next hop: VPN connection

The VPN gateway: It is the newly created VPN .

VPN connection: Connection name supplied when creating VPN gateway.

Here are detailed instructions for designing and managing routes.

Important: After creating routes, attach VPC source subnets to the routing table.

You should now have a VPN with routing between your IBM Cloud VPC and on-premises environment. Figure 1 shows this flow in red.

Set up authentication and authorization

Before creating a Client-to-Site VPN, we must generate and store client and server certificates in IBM Cloud Secrets Manager. Generate and import certificates into Secrets Manager using these methods.

Establishing a service-to-service permission for the VPN Server and IBM Cloud Secrets Manager allows the VPN to access Secrets Manager certificates.

Client-to-Site VPN server creation

Enter IBM Cloud Catalog, search VPN, and pick VPC VPN. Client-to-site servers and the gateway deployment location (with all input parameters) are selected. This article uses a solo configuration. Select a CIDR range for the Client IPv4 address pool to assign IPs to client connections. In Subnets, fill out all required fields.

Configure Server and Client Authentications next. Select Server and Client Certificates from Secrets Manager from earlier procedures. Choose User ID and passcode for further security. Finally, configure Security Group rules to enable VPN traffic into the network.

To allow all traffic across the VPN interface and into the VPN tunnel, select Full tunnel in this form. The rest of the input options are optional. Click the right-hand Create VPN server button.

Create Client-to-Site VPN routes

Once the connection is operational on the Portal, you must construct two routes: one for VPC resources and one for remote/on-premises network access. Click here for route creation instructions. In the VPC diagram above, solid green and red dashed lines represent this flow.

Configure client profiles

Finally, download the VPN server client profile. Click Download client profile on the Clients tab of your IBM Cloud VPN server. Add Client certificate and Private Key to Client Profile.ovpn.

This article describes how to configure the client VPN environment to connect to a VPN server.

Config OpenVPN client and test connectivity

A VPN client is needed to access IBM Cloud and on-premises environments. Here you can download and install a VPN client for your operating system. Install OpenVPN and open the client to connect to the VPC using the profile established in the previous steps.

This VPN connection lets users connect to their IBM Cloud VPC and on-premises environment via IBM Cloud VPN. Visit the Clients tab on the VPN server in your IBM Cloud interface to verify client connections.
