You’ve packed your charm. This document shows you how you can now deploy your charm to a cloud of your choosing. This can be easily done with the Juju OLM, assuming you’ve already set it up with the cloud and added a model.
Before we do start deploying, let’s first configure the Juju model to display DEBUG level log messages and watch the output. Open a terminal and run the following:
# Set the default log level to DEBUG
$ juju model-config logging-config="<root>=WARNING;unit=DEBUG"
# Tail the Juju log
$ juju debug-log
Now, going back to the terminal where you packed your charm, run:
$ juju deploy ./my-new-charm.charm
# Watch the Juju status to see the Charm's progress
$ watch -c juju status --color
The deployment will take about 30 seconds, and you should see the various operator events being triggered in the juju debug-log output. If all goes well, you should see output similar to the following from watch -c juju status --color:
Model Controller Cloud/Region Version SLA Timestamp
development micro microk8s/localhost 2.9.0 unsupported 10:25:35+01:00
App Version Status Scale Charm Store Channel Rev OS Address Message
my-new-charm active 1 my-new-charm local 0 kubernetes
Unit Workload Agent Address Ports Message
hello-operator/0* active idle 10.1.215.218
Note that you can inspect the content of your charm easily—the bundle is just a zip file! Go ahead and open up my-new-charm.charm in your native archive viewer to see how the charm gets packaged up.
