# For M1 / ARM Macs

Create the Kind cluster

Create a file called kind.config

apiVersion: kind.x-k8s.io/v1alpha4
kind: Cluster
nodes:
- role: control-plane
  extraPortMappings:
  - containerPort: 32000
    hostPort: 32000
    listenAddress: "0.0.0.0" # Optional, defaults to "0.0.0.0"
    protocol: tcp # Optional, defaults to tcp
- role: worker
then:
kind create cluster --config=kind.config

Set cluster context for kubectl

kubectl cluster-info --context kind-kind

Install NGINX Ingress Controller

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/main/deploy/static/provider/kind/deploy.yaml

AWX

Set the namespace context

kubectl config set-context --current --namespace=awx

Checkout the tag you want to install from

git checkout 2.7.2

Create a file named kustomization.yaml in the root of your local awx-operator clone. Include the following:

apiVersion: kustomize.config.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: Kustomization
resources:
  # Find the latest tag here: https://github.com/ansible/awx-operator/releases
  - github.com/ansible/awx-operator/config/default?ref=2.7.2

# Set the image tags to match the git version from above
images:
  - name: quay.io/ansible/awx-operator
    newTag: 2.7.2

# Specify a custom namespace in which to install AWX
namespace: awx

Run the following to apply the yaml

kubectl apply -k .

Create a file called awx-cr.yaml with the following contents and any configuration changes you may wish to add.

---
apiVersion: awx.ansible.com/v1beta1
kind: AWX
metadata:
  name: awx-demo
spec:
  service_type: nodeport
  nodeport_port: 32000

Create your AWX CR

oc create -f awx-cr.yaml

Your AWX instance should now be reacheable at http://localhost:32000/

If you configured a custom nodeport_port, you can find it by running kubectl -n awx get svc awx-demo-service

Cleanup

When you are done, you can delete all of this by running

kind delete cluster
