Welcome to the SAP HANA Academy. My
name is Bob and in this series of videos
we'll be looking at SAP Vora 2.0. In
this series of videos were going to be
looking at installation. And in this
first video of a 5 video series we'll be
looking at creating an Ubuntu server within the
Google Cloud Platform where eventually
we'll end up with an installation of Vora.
The first thing we need to do is go to
the Google Cloud Platform. The assumption
in this video is that you've already got
a Google Cloud Platform account and when
you've logged in you'll need to go to
your console. Now that we're there the
assumption is that you've already
created a project. This is the name of my
project which is SAP HANA Academy. We’re
going to do our work in that project. So
I'll go to my compute engine and then
I'll go to my VM instances. Of course the
first thing we'll need to do is create a
brand new VM instance. You can see I've
already got one here which is a Windows
server. So we do that with this icon that
you can see in the middle of the screen.
I'll select create instance and then
we're going to create ourselves a brand
new instance. A singular instance for
Vora. So I'm going to call this one Vora 2.
I'll place it in the US East Zone
which is where I'm based of course. And
then this really depends for me I'm
going to build myself a specific machine
based on a template. Which is a 52
gigabyte of RAM 8 CPU. Of course you can
change that as well by selecting the
various options here. So to change it, of
course if you scroll up you've got the
option here to customize. So at the
moment is 52 gig 8 CPU. I'm going to
upgrade I'm going to customize this and
I'm going to drop it down to 4 CPU but
put the memory back up to 52 gig. We can
do this by selecting extend memory and
then I'll make this 52 gig like so. Again
that's fully customizable. So once you've
done that then we just need to decide
what we want the boot disk to be. So I'll
change that. Now I've done the install
of Minikube and Kubenettes
on a Ubuntu system. So if I go
back to my boot disk and click on change
we can change the iOS. If I scroll down
I'm going to choose here Ubuntu 16.04
LTS and I'm going to make the disk size
100 gigabytes. Of course that's where
I've installed Minikube. Again if you
want to do this the same follow along
with the same specs that I've specified
here. For the moment there's nothing else
we need to change. So all I need to do is
at the bottom go and select create. And
it's going to take a few seconds for
that server to create. Of course there's
lots more options which you can
configure. I'm just doing the bare
minimum. So you can get up and running
with Vora as quickly as possible. So
obviously you'll see by the green circle
with the white tick that instance has
indeed started. Actually only takes a few
seconds. We connect here with SSH. So I
can select here. Open in a browser window.
And this is essentially going to launch
a web-based SSH tool. So I'll just make
it fullscreen. It’ll take a few seconds
to connect because of course it's going
to connect via an SSH key to that
virtual machine. It takes around five
seconds to connect. This is great because
it means we don't have to install tools
like Putty or we don't need a remit
windows remote desktop and this is what
it looks like. So it's just for you to
know if you click on the settings you
can increase the size here of the text
or you and can change the color settings.
Lastly I'll run a clear and now we're
ready to perform the machine prep. In
terms of getting access to Vora you need
to log in to the SAP support portal. Once
you've logged in make sure that you've
actually logged in. You've got the right
authentication here. You can see I've
actually logged in as my user. I'll then
go to download software. Of course it's
going to authenticate you using your SAP
login. Now once you've logged in of
course I'm going to go to installations
upgrades. I'll go to V for Vora. I'll then go
to SAP Vora. We'll go to of course SAP
Vora 2
and we're going to get this file which
is in SAP Vora 2, which is this TGZ
file. So all you need to do is put it in
your download basket and of course then
you'll download it. It’s around one and a
half gig and it takes a bit of time to
download. Then of course you'll have to
use W get or some method
FTP to get it on your server running in
GCP. Here you can see it's downloading. So
now that it's downloading it's probably
a good idea to explain the scripts. All
our scripts are available in our GitHub
repository. All you have to do is a
search for SAP HANA Academy and then
Vora. And if I go right to the bottom
you'll see a series of scripts on Vora
2.0. And here you can see I've got
scripts to install in an image in the
Google Cloud Platform and also the
similar Ubuntu image book in AWS. So you
can choose which cloud environment you
want to install in. Now that we've
covered these scripts for both AWS and
GCP and we've also had a look at how to
create our Ubuntu image in GCP, in the
next video we're going to look at
prepping the server.
