Automation : Using CLI to create / import a dataflow in CDF-PC, then Deploy it to an environment

Goal : Use CLI to create / import a dataflow in CDF-PC

Then, run Teraform to create/import Dataflow into CDF-PC.

Process :

1.  Install CDP CLI (I am using MacOS, so I install cdpcli in this way. 

   pip3 install cdpcli

   Then confirm it's installed correctly

   [zzeng@zeng-mbp ~]$ ll ~/Library/Python/3.9/bin/ | grep cdp
   -rwxr-xr-x@ 1 zzeng  staff   250 Mar  4 12:22 cdp
   -rwxr-xr-x@ 1 zzeng  staff   250 Mar  4 12:22 cdp_completer
   [zzeng@zeng-mbp ~]$ export PATH="$HOME/Library/Python/3.9/bin:$PATH"
   [zzeng@zeng-mbp ~]$ cdp --version
   0.9.107
   [zzeng@zeng-mbp ~]$

2. Configure CLI: (Reference Link) from [Management Console] ->[User] -> [Profile]
3. Then I can find your API key here. If it does not exist, create one.
4. Then, configure the API key in my MacOS (Reference):

   cdp configure

5. After this config,  check the latest status:

   [zzeng@zeng-mbp ~]$ cdp iam get-user
   {
       "user": {
           "userId": *****
           "status": "ACTIVE",
           "workloadPasswordDetails": {
               "isPasswordSet": true
           }
       }
   }

6. Use CLI to create dataflow:

   cdp df import-flow-definition \
     --name "zzeng2-fetch_from_S3_folder" \
     --file "/<<PATH_TO_UPDATE>>/fetch_from_S3_folder.json" \
     --comments "Initial Version"

   
   Example:

   $ cdp df import-flow-definition   --name "zzeng-fetch_from_S3_folder"   --description "Description for this flow"   --file "/Users/zzeng/Library/CloudStorage/OneDrive-Personal/38_CLDR_Docs/50_demo/FetchFromS3Folder/fetch_from_S3_folder.json"   --comments "Initial Version"
   {
       "crn": "crn:cdp:df:us-west-1:******:flow:zzeng-fetch_from_S3_folder",
       "name": "zzeng-fetch_from_S3_folder",
       "versionCount": 1,
       "createdTimestamp": 1709632435790,
       "description": "Description for this flow",
       "modifiedTimestamp": 1709632435790,
       "versions": [
           {
               "crn": "crn:cdp:df:us-west-1:******:flow:zzeng-fetch_from_S3_folder/v.1",
               "bucketIdentifier": "https://s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/*****.cloudera.com/******",
               "author": "Zhen Zeng",
               "version": 1,
               "timestamp": 1709632435792,
               "deploymentCount": 0,
               "comments": "Initial Version",
               "draftCount": 0,
               "tags": []
           }
       ]
   }

7. Deploy the flow to an environment:
   
8. We can use a wizard to do this or use the wizard to generate the command.

Result:

$ cdp df create-deployment \
>   --service-crn crn:cdp:df:us-west-1:******:service:***** \
>   --flow-version-crn "crn:cdp:df:us-west-1:*****:flow:zzeng-fetch_from_S3_folder/v.1" \
>   --deployment-name "zzeng-deploy-01" \
>   --project-crn "crn:cdp:df:us-west-1:****:project:*****" \
>   --cfm-nifi-version 1.24.0.2.3.13.0-9 \
>   --auto-start-flow \
>   --cluster-size-name EXTRA_SMALL \
>   --static-node-count 1 \
>   --no-auto-scaling-enabled
{
    "deploymentCrn": "crn:cdp:df:us-west-1:******:deployment:*****/*****"
}
