# \[AIAB-04] Create the system and its components

### Create the System

Duration: 02:00

To model the Online Boutique inside Akamas, we need to create a corresponding System with its components in Akamas, and also associate a Prometheus telemetry instance to the system to allow Akamas to collect the performance metrics.

The entire Akamas system, together with the Prometheus telemetry instance, can be installed with a single command by leveraging the `create-system.sh` script provided in the `scripts` folder.

This script requires, as an argument, the public IP address of the cluster `CLUSTER_IP`.

Now you need to first login to Akamas with the following command:

```bash
akamas login --user <login> --password <password>
```

and then run the above-mentioned script in a shell where you have the Akamas CLI installed:

```bash
bash kubernetes-online-boutique/scripts/create-system.sh <CLUSTER_IP>
```

The scripts should return a message similar to: `System created correctly`.

At this point, you can access the Akamas UI under and verify that the System and its component are listed in the Systems menu:

Notice that this System leverages the following Optimization Packs:

* Kubernetes: it provides a component type required to model each Kubernetes Pod - one for each Deployment in the Online Boutique.
* Optimization Packs for Web Applications: it models the end-to-end metrics of the Online Boutique, such as the application response time and throughput.
