Deploy

Deployment uses Red Hat AAP to configure platform objects and deliver both observability components and the AI application stack.

Objectives

  • Configure AAP Controller and EDA objects for the workshop.
  • Deploy Dynatrace apps and API settings.
  • Deploy EdgeConnect and OneAgent.
  • Build and deploy the easyTravel AI Travel Advisor stack using Podman workflows.

Step 1: Create AAP Service Account User

Before running deployment automation, create and validate the aap-service-account user on the RHEL host.

Reference guide: ansible/deploy/docs/aap-service-account-setup.md

Step 2: Configure AAP and EDA

Run the bootstrap playbooks from the ansible directory.

cd ~/workshop-destination-automation/ansible
ansible-playbook deploy/playbooks/configure_aap.yml

ansible-playbook deploy/playbooks/configure_eda.yml

After playbook completion, review credentials and inventory objects in the AAP UI.

Apply Credentials via UI

  • [ ] aap-service-account

aap-service-account

  • [ ] destination-automation-dynatrace-monaco

dynatrace monaco

  • [ ] destination-automation-dynatrace-oauth

dynatrace oauth

  • [ ] destination-automation-dynatrace-oneagent

dynatrace oneagent

  • [ ] destination-automation-dynatrace-otlp

dynatrace otlp

Create Job Template Domains (optional, recommended)

AAP Web UI -> Automation Execution (Automation Controller) -> Templates: Configure Domains (🔧 wrench icon)

  • Name: Dynatrace
    • Labels: dynatrace
  • Name: App
    • Labels: app

Domains

Step 3: Deploy Dynatrace Components

Launch the relevant AAP job templates for:

  • Dynatrace AppEngine apps
    • destination-automation-deploy-dynatrace-apps
  • Dynatrace Monaco project
    • destination-automation-deploy-dynatrace-monaco
  • Dynatrace EdgeConnect (when private network connectivity requires it)
    • destination-automation-deploy-dynatrace-edgeconnect
    • Verify you're using the correct value of dynatrace_edgeconnect_oauth_endpoint variable
  • Dynatrace OneAgent on workshop host
    • destination-automation-deploy-dynatrace-oneagent

Configure OpenPipeline Routing Tables (Manually):

OpenPipeline routing tables are comprehensive for the environment. If existing rules exist in the routing table, applying a new configuration with Monaco will delete/overwrite the existing rules. To avoid this behavior, for now, routing table rules need to be created manually.

Logs:

  • Name: 
destination-automation-logs
  • Matching Condition: 
matchesValue(dt.host_group.id,"destination-automation")
  • Pipeline: destination-automation-logs

Spans:

  • Name: 
destination-automation-spans
  • Matching Condition: 
matchesValue(dt.host_group.id,"destination-automation")
  • Pipeline: destination-automation-spans

BizEvents:

  • Name: 
destination-automation-bizevents
  • Matching Condition: 
matchesValue(dt.host_group.id,"destination-automation")
  • Pipeline: destination-automation-bizevents

Here is an example routing table for logs: OpenPipeline Routing Logs

Enable Workflows Authorization:

Open the Workflows app. In the top right corner, click on the gear icon, then Authorization Settings. Enable all Primary Permissions. Enable all Secondary Permissions. Click Save.

Workflow Authorization

Step 4: Deploy the AI Travel Advisor Application

Run the workshop app deployment workflow template from AAP:

destination-automation-workflow-deploy-app-clean

This workflow template will perform the following:

Workflow

  • Remove the app if it already exists
  • Remove the images if they already exist
  • Build new app images
  • Deploy the app as rootless podman containers
  • Verify health endpoints and access

Access the app on port 81 (HTTP) of your public hostname (FQDN or IP).

Validation

  • [ ] Dynatrace components are installed and authenticated
  • [ ] OneAgent reports data from the workshop host
  • [ ] App stack is reachable and healthy
  • [ ] AAP workflows complete without failed tasks

Continue to Observe and Automate.
