SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill simplifies the deployment and management of InterSystems IRIS data platform configurations across various cloud and on-premises environments, abstracting the complexities of infrastructure provisioning and container orchestration.

Core Features & Use Cases

Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Define your desired InterSystems IRIS deployment in declarative configuration files.
Automated Provisioning: Automatically provision cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP, etc.) and existing virtual/physical clusters.
Containerized Deployment: Deploy InterSystems IRIS instances within Docker containers.
Lifecycle Management: Manage the entire application lifecycle, from provisioning and deployment to configuration, scaling, and unprovisioning.
Use Case: Deploy a scalable, mirrored InterSystems IRIS sharded cluster on AWS with automated provisioning and containerized application deployment.

Quick Start

Use the InterSystems Cloud Manager skill to provision the infrastructure defined in 'definitions.json' and deploy the InterSystems IRIS containers.

FAQPage Schema

How do I deploy InterSystems IRIS on cloud infrastructure using Terraform?▼

To deploy InterSystems IRIS on cloud infrastructure, you define your desired state in declarative JSON configuration files, which the Skill processes alongside Terraform to automatically provision and manage the required cloud resources.

Can I use Docker to orchestrate InterSystems IRIS containers with this approach?▼

Yes, you can use Docker for container orchestration of InterSystems IRIS deployments. The Skill manages the entire application lifecycle by deploying and scaling IRIS instances within Docker containers on your provisioned infrastructure.

What is the best way to automate provisioning for an InterSystems IRIS sharded cluster?▼

Automating provisioning for an InterSystems IRIS sharded cluster is best handled by using Infrastructure as Code principles. You define the scalable mirrored cluster topology in declarative JSON files for automated cloud resource provisioning and deployment.

Does InterSystems Cloud Manager support elastic scaling for existing virtual clusters?▼

Yes, it supports elastic scaling for existing virtual and physical clusters. You can manage the entire InterSystems IRIS application lifecycle, from initial provisioning to configuration and scaling, across both cloud and on-premises environments.

How do I unprovision InterSystems IRIS cloud infrastructure declaratively?▼

You unprovision InterSystems IRIS cloud infrastructure by updating or removing the resources defined in your declarative JSON configuration files, allowing the Infrastructure as Code process to automatically tear down the managed cloud and container environments.
