Installing multiple IFS CLOUD containerized MWS using the same Windows Managed server?

Hi,
- maybe
If they are on the same version and same version on Ubuntu version, then yes.
When you upgrade the Linux version to Ubuntu 22.04 of one of them, you will need a new remote version which uses a newer version of the powershell module posh-ssh which is a common Windows resource .
Not sure the scripts will be able to downport posh-ssh if you need to do something ole the older remotes… but maybe. 

If you keep all versions in sync it should be ok​​​​​​ at least.

You would most likely have to create multiple windows users. If you check your user home on the management server, you’ll see two directories: .ssh and .kube. If you check .kube for example, you’ll see that it links to the Ubuntu server. This is to allow kubectl to communicate with the Ubuntu server from the management server. There can only be one and unless you want to switch back and forth, you should at least create a second user.

Hi Remo,
Not necessarily - the KUBECONFIG used by main.ps1 is always the one in ifsroot\config\kube\config

And if you want to use kubectl towards the different MT servers there is a script in the ifsinstaller folder set_remote_envs.cmd which will set your session’s  KUBECONFIG to the correct ifsroot\config\kube\config.

The script only works if you have the folder structures exactly as specified in the documentation.
e.g. C:\remote\ifsroot\deliveries\<delivery>\ifsinstaller

Note - powershell is only required when running main.ps1 - a normal cmd is easier for ssh/kubectl etc. 
 

Thanks! I wasn’t aware of it. I guess I still wouldn’t want a single server since we have a bunch of other things we do on the management server related to kubectl, but good to know anyway.

Thanks for your valuable input.
