Build and Run the AD Insertion Sample on public cloud or local machine

The Open Visual Cloud is highly optimized for the latest Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors. Developers can use their own x86 development system to build, customize, and evaluate Open Visual Cloud reference pipelines, or use a public cloud to assess system scalability and performance.

This tutorial builds and runs the AD Insertion Sample on the Amazon Web Services (AWS), Azure Virtual Machine and Google Cloud Platform Virtual Machine (GCP) or your local machine. The following figures show the running compute instances of the 3 cloud services.

AWS EC2 Instance, Amazon Linux 2

Azure VM Instance, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Google Cloud Platform VM instance, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Unless specifically specified, all the commands in the tutorial apply to all the 3 cloud services.

1. Prerequisites

For AWS, run the following commands to install the software packages required to build the sample:

    
$ sudo yum update –y

$ sudo amazon-linux-extras install –y docker

$ sudo service docker start

$ sudo yum install –y cmake git

    
For Azure and GCP, follow https://docs.docker.com/install/linux/docker-ce/debian/ to install docker.ce.

    
 

    
Run the following command to install cmake and git

    

        
$ sudo apt-get install –y cmake git

    

    
Initialize docker swarm as we will use docker swarm for deployment.

    

        
$ sudo docker swarm init
Swarm initialized: current node (04k9ydxpdtx40nym8ag2j499r) is now a manager.

        
To add a worker to this swarm, run the following command:

        
docker swarm join --token SWMTKN-1-2jthey7uay7ym5ko1db4etp9lt5sjmi8u4qhkv4owe1ysip943-5novs363q4nby8kgaek8ury6i 172.31.18.164:2377
$

        

            
2. Clone the Sample Source Code

            
Run the following command to clone the AD Insertion Sample source code:

            
$ git clone https://github.com/OpenVisualCloud/AD-Insertion-Sample

            
3. Build the Sample

            
Run the following commands to build the AD Insertion Sample. The build time is about 2 hours on t2.large. 

            

                
$ cd AD-Insertion-Sample
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..

The following images are built. The images with tag “build” are not used in the deployment. 

                

            

        

    





4. Start the Sample Service



Now, it is time to start the sample service:




    

    
$ make start_docker_swarm

$

    

        
5. Test the Sample

        
The AD Insertion Sample exposes a web interface at port 443. We need to create a SSH tunnel to access it, as follows:

        
For AWS

    





$ ssh -L 8443:localhost:443 -Nf -i "keypair.pem" ec2-user@3.17.131.107




    


        The SSH tunnel maps localhost port 443 to the AWS EC2 instance port 443, and “keypair.pem” is the ssh access key pair generated for accessing the AWS EC2 instance.

    
Open your browser to https://localhost:8443 and accept the self-signed certificate to proceed to the sample UI. 

    
 

    
For Azure or GCP

    
For Azure or GCP, the command is almost the same.

    
$ ssh -L 8443:localhost:443 -Nf -i ssh_private_key user_name@instance_public_ip

    
ssh_private_key is ssh access private key for accessing Azure or GCP VM instances.

    
Open your browser to https://localhost:8443 and accept the self-signed certificate to proceed to the sample UI. 

    





Optionally, click the user name to change the sample settings, such as turning on the analytics console to peek into service-side activities. 






The analytics console will show the analytic data as an overlay on top of the video playback window, and the server workload will show the CPU utilization at the bottom right corner.
