Cookbook for MCM Solution Architects

Viewing the Cookbook

The HTML-readable version of the cookbook is available via https://ibm-cloud-architecture.github.io/kubernetes-multicloud-management/.

Building the Cookbook locally

The Cookbook for ICP Solution Architects is written to support MkDocs and can be built into a book-readable format by following standard Markdown writing styles and MkDocs build processes.

1. Install MkDocs locally following the official documentation instructions.
2. Clone the code and serve pages locally as follows:

   git clone https://github.com/ibm-cloud-architecture/kubernetes-multicloud-management.git
   cd kubernetes-multicloud-management
   mkdocs serve

3. Go to http://127.0.0.1:8000 in your browser.

Pushing the Cookbook to GitHub Pages

FORK this repository first, then clone it as follows:

export GITHUB_USERNAME=PUT_YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME_HERE
git clone git@github.com:${GITHUB_USERNAME}/kubernetes-multicloud-management.git
cd kubernetes-multicloud-management

1. Ensure that all your local changes to the master branch have been committed and pushed to the remote repository.
   1. git push origin master
2. Ensure that you have the latest commits to the gh-pages branch.

   git checkout gh-pages
   git pull origin gh-pages
   git checkout master

3. Run mkdocs gh-deploy from the root directory. Note that the gh-deploy command will fail if you do not have the latest commits to the branch pulled locally.
   • If you have git remote links for both this repository and your fork, you will need to run the command with an extra flag. For example, here is a local clone of the code that has 2 remote repos: fabio (fork) and origin (main repo):

   fabio	git@github.com:fabiogomezdiaz/kubernetes-multicloud-management.git (fetch)
   fabio	git@github.com:fabiogomezdiaz/kubernetes-multicloud-management.git (push)
   origin	https://github.com/ibm-cloud-architecture/kubernetes-multicloud-management.git (fetch)
   origin	https://github.com/ibm-cloud-architecture/kubernetes-multicloud-management.git (push)

   • To deploy the MkDocs pages to the fabio repo, you will need to run the command as mkdocs gh-deploy -r fabio
4. Open https://${GITHUB_USERNAME}.github.io/kubernetes-multicloud-management/ to see
