+# Partition Service
+os-partition-gcp is a [Spring Boot](https://spring.io/projects/spring-boot) service that is responsible for creating and retrieving partition specific properties on behalf of other services whether they are secret values or not.
+
+## Getting Started
+These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.
+
+### Prerequisites
+Pre-requisites
+
+* GCloud SDK with java (latest version)
+* JDK 8
+* Lombok 1.16 or later
+* Maven
+
+### Installation
+In order to run the service locally or remotely, you will need to have the following environment variables defined.
+
+| name | value | description | sensitive? | source |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `LOG_PREFIX` | `service` | Logging prefix | no | - |
+| `SERVER_SERVLET_CONTEXPATH` | `/api/partition/v1` | Servlet context path | no | - |
+| `AUTHORIZE_API` | ex `https://entitlements.com/entitlements/v1` | Entitlements API endpoint | no | output of infrastructure deployment |
+| `GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT` | ex `osdu-cicd-epam` | Google Cloud Project Id| no | output of infrastructure deployment |
+| `GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS` | ex `/path/to/directory/service-key.json` | Service account credentials, you only need this if running locally | yes | https://console.cloud.google.com/iam-admin/serviceaccounts |
+
+### Run Locally
+Check that maven is installed:
+
+```bash
+$ mvn --version
+Apache Maven 3.6.0
+Maven home: /usr/share/maven
+Java version: 1.8.0_212, vendor: AdoptOpenJDK, runtime: /usr/lib/jvm/jdk8u212-b04/jre
+...
+```
+
+You may need to configure access to the remote maven repository that holds the OSDU dependencies. This file should live within `~/.mvn/community-maven.settings.xml`:
+
+```bash
+$ cat ~/.m2/settings.xml
+<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
+<settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0"
+ xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
+ xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd">
+ <servers>
+ <server>
+ <id>community-maven-via-private-token</id>
+ <!-- Treat this auth token like a password. Do not share it with anyone, including Microsoft support. -->
+ <!-- The generated token expires on or before 11/14/2019 -->
+ <configuration>
+ <httpHeaders>
+ <property>
+ <name>Private-Token</name>
+ <value>${env.COMMUNITY_MAVEN_TOKEN}</value>
+ </property>
+ </httpHeaders>
+ </configuration>
+ </server>
+ </servers>
+</settings>
+```
+
+* Update the Google cloud SDK to the latest version:
+
+```bash
+gcloud components update
+```
+* Set Google Project Id:
+
+```bash
+gcloud config set project <YOUR-PROJECT-ID>
+```
+
+* Perform a basic authentication in the selected project:
+
+```bash
+gcloud auth application-default login
+```
+
+* Navigate to partition service's root folder and run:
+
+```bash
+mvn jetty:run
+## Testing
+* Navigate to partition service's root folder and run:
+
+```bash
+mvn clean install
+```
+
+* If you wish to see the coverage report then go to testing/target/site/jacoco-aggregate and open index.html
+
+* If you wish to build the project without running tests
+
+```bash
+mvn clean install -DskipTests
+```
+
+After configuring your environment as specified above, you can follow these steps to build and run the application. These steps should be invoked from the *repository root.*
+
+```bash
+cd provider/partition-gcp/ && mvn spring-boot:run
+```
+
+## Testing
+Navigate to partition service's root folder and run all the tests:
+
+```bash
+# build + install integration test core
+$ (cd testing/partition-test-core/ && mvn clean install)
+```
+
+### Running E2E Tests
+This section describes how to run cloud OSDU E2E tests (testing/partition-test-gcp).
+
+You will need to have the following environment variables defined.
+
+| name | value | description | sensitive? | source |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `ENVIRONMENT` | ex `dev` | | no | |
+| `PARTITION_BASE_URL` | ex `http://localhost:8080/` | service base URL | yes | |
+| `CLIENT_TENANT` | ex `opendes` | name of the client partition | yes | |
+| `MY_TENANT` | ex `opendes` | name of the OSDU partition | yes | |
+| `INTEGRATION_TESTER` | `********` | Service account for API calls. Note: this user must have entitlements configured already. Base64 encoded string | yes | https://console.cloud.google.com/iam-admin/serviceaccounts |
+| `NO_DATA_ACCESS_TESTER` | `********` | Service account base64 encoded string without data access | yes | https://console.cloud.google.com/iam-admin/serviceaccounts |
+| `INTEGRATION_TEST_AUDIENCE` | `********` | client application ID | yes | https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials |
+**Entitlements configuration for integration accounts**
+
+| INTEGRATION_TESTER | NO_DATA_ACCESS_TESTER |
+| --- | --- |
+| users<br/>service.entitlements.user<br/>service.partition.admin<br/>data.test1<br/>data.integration.test<br/>users@{tenant1}@{domain}.com | users <br/>service.entitlements.user<br/> |
+
+Execute following command to build code and run all the integration tests:
+
+```bash
+# Note: this assumes that the environment variables for integration tests as outlined
+# above are already exported in your environment.
+$ (cd testing/partition-test-gcp/ && mvn clean test)
+```
+
+## Deployment
+Storage Service is compatible with App Engine Flexible Environment and Cloud Run.
+
+* To deploy into Cloud run, please, use this documentation:
+ https://cloud.google.com/run/docs/quickstarts/build-and-deploy
+
+* To deploy into App Engine, please, use this documentation:
+ https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/flexible/java/quickstart
+
+#### Cloud KMS Setup
+
+Enable cloud KMS on master project
+
+Create king ring and key in the ***master project***
+
+```bash
+ gcloud services enable cloudkms.googleapis.com
+ export KEYRING_NAME="csqp"
+ export CRYPTOKEY_NAME="searchService"
+ gcloud kms keyrings create $KEYRING_NAME --location global
+ gcloud kms keys create $CRYPTOKEY_NAME --location global \
+ --keyring $KEYRING_NAME \
+ --purpose encryption
+```
+
+Add **Cloud KMS CryptoKey Encrypter/Decrypter** role to the **App Engine default service account** of the master project through IAM - Role tab
+
+Add "Cloud KMS Encrypt/Decrypt" role to the "App Engine default service account" of ***master project***
+
+#### Memory Store (Redis Instance) Setup
+
+Create a new Standard tier Redis instance on the ***service project***
+
+The Redis instance must be created under the same region with the App Engine application which needs to access it.
+
+```bash
+ gcloud beta redis instances create redis-cache-search --size=10 --region=<service-deployment-region> --zone=<service-deployment-zone> --tier=STANDARD
+```
