This directory contains reusable configuration file building blocks which can be used with the init-and-merge.sh script to produce a unique config file. The variables have been named to avoid collision with other blocks. Most blocks assume that a VNET exists (hence the dependency on the vnet.json block) and being installed from a jumpbox.

It's easy as the blocks have been designed to be merged together into a single configuration file. The init-and-merge.sh will do the merge and initialization and you just need to provide an ordered list of the blocks you want to use and json file containing the variables you want to set. The init.sh script below will create a config file to deploy a VNET, a JUMPBOX with NFS and a BEEGFS cluster.

#/bin/bash
block_dir=$azhpc_dir/blocks
AZHPC_CONFIG=config.json
AZHPC_VARIABLES=variables.json

blocks="$block_dir/vnet.json $block_dir/jumpbox-nfs.json $block_dir/beegfs-cluster.json"

# Initialize config file
echo "{}" >$AZHPC_CONFIG
$azhpc_dir/init-and-merge.sh "$blocks" $AZHPC_CONFIG $AZHPC_VARIABLES

Before running that script I need to create a variables.json file which contains all the <NOT-SET> values of my blocks. In our case these are only resource_group and location.

{
  "variables": {
    "resource_group": "my resource group",
    "location": "my location"
  }
}

Once done I can run the init script wich produce a config.json that I can use to build my whole environment.

$ ./init.sh
$ azhpc-build
