Tanzu Community Edition Platform Demo

This repository contains configuration for demonstrating Tanzu Community Edition by using it to build a platform.

The platform is built using a number of TCE packages.

The packages have been configured such that the platform (cluster) will automatically:

• Build application source code into an image when commits are pushed to the application's git repository
• Publish the image to Harbor
• Deploy a Knative Serving Service to run the application image
• Deploy a PostgreSQL database and bind it to the application
• Create DNS entries for the application
• Route traffic from the Internet to the application using the Host header allowing for a single point of ingress into the cluster for any number of applications with different DNS names
• Provision a Let's Encrypt certificate for the application's route

Given this behavior, an application developer is able to produce a running application with an attached PostgreSQL database, a DNS name, ingress from the Internet, and a valid Let's Encrypt certificate by simply:

1. Creating a Secret to store their application's git repository access key
2. Creating a Workload definition that references the git repository where source code is pushed
3. Pushing a commit to their git repository to trigger the "source-to-url-with-postgres" supply chain

Conventions & Assumptions

This platform has conventions built into it a team must consider, and assumptions it makes about a team's application for that application to succeed in the supply chains. See Conventions for details.
