Build your first container

Step1 Content

In this step, you download the first of two Red Container Development Kit (CDK) files. For the download, you will need to register with developers.redhat.com. After you register as a developer, you will be given a subscription for Red Hat Enterprise Linux Developer Suite, which will give you access to the CDK. Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server, and additional development tools are included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux Developer Suite.

Download the #{site.download_manager_base_url}/download-manager/file/cdk-2.0.0-beta5.zip[cdk-2.0.0-beta5.zip].

Note: Later in this guide, you will need the Red Hat username and password you create during registration for accessing Red Hat sites.

Step2 Content

The CDK delivers the latest container tools in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux virtual machine (VM). To use the CDK you will need:

1. A virtualization platform: VirtualBox, VMware, or Linux KVM/libvirt

2. Vagrant, an open source tool for creating and distributing portable development environments.

3. The CDK Red Hat Enterprise Linux Vagrant box that matches your virtualization platform.

4. Cygwin (Microsoft Windows only) to provide ssh and rsync.

Install a virtualization platform (hypervisor)

First, download and install a virtualization platform:

• VirtualBox (For Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac OS X, or Linux)

• VMware Fusion (For Apple Mac OS X), VMware Workstation Pro or VMware Workstation Player (For Microsoft Windows or Linux)

• Linux KVM/libvirt (For Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, or Fedora)

Note: If you are using Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac OS X, or a Linux distribution other than Red Hat, Fedora or CentOS, VirtualBox is recommended.

Install Vagrant

Next, download Vagrant. All of the VM configuration details on your development system will be handled for you by Vagrant.

NOTE: We recommend you use Vagrant version 1.7.4, or a version later than 1.8.1. Vagrant releases 1.8.0 and 1.8.1 should be avoided due to some bugs that impact proper operation of the CDK.

If you are using:

• Microsoft Windows 7 and later, download the Vagrant .msi universal installer.

• Apple Mac OS X, download the Vagrant .dmg universal installer.

• Red Hat Enterprise Linux, install the Vagrant software collection using the instructions in the CDK Installation Guide.

• CentOS Linux, install the Vagrant software collection using the instructions in the CDK Installation Guide.

• Fedora 23, install the Vagrant packages included with Fedora using dnf. See the CDK Installation Guide.

For other Linux distributions, install Vagrant using the packages included with your distribution if it includes a recent version. Alternatively, download a .deb or .rpm package from vagrantup.com.

Install Cygwin on Microsoft Windows

To provide ssh and rsync on Microsoft Windows, install Cygwin by downloading and running:

• setup-x86.exe for 32-bit versions of Windows.

• setup-x86_64.exe for 64-bit versions of Windows.

Download Red Hat Enterprise Linux CDK Vagrant Box

Next, download the Red Hat Enterprise Linux CDK Vagrant box that matches your virtualization platform:

• #{site.download_manager_base_url}/download-manager/file/rhel-cdk-kubernetes-7.2-21.x86_64.vagrant-virtualbox.box[Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2 Vagrant box for VirtualBox, window='_blank']

• #{site.download_manager_base_url}/download-manager/file/rhel-cdk-kubernetes-7.2-21.x86_64.vagrant-vmware-fusion.box[Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2 Vagrant box for VMware, window='_blank']

• #{site.download_manager_base_url}/download-manager/file/rhel-cdk-kubernetes-7.2-21.x86_64.vagrant-libvirt.box[Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2 Vagrant box for KVM/libvirt, window='_blank']

Step3 Content

Next, install the CDK by following the CDK Installation Guide for your operating system:

• Installing the CDK on Microsoft Windows

• Installing the CDK on Apple Mac OS X

• Installing the CDK on Fedora or Red Hat Enterprise Linux
