codecoapp-operator

This is the project for the CODECO ACM operator.
Note: It is in PoC mode - current content of the CRD and the operator behavior is still expetimental

Description

This projects is used for the development of the CODECO ACM operator.

The CODECO ACM operatore is the main entry point to the CODECO platform. It serves 2 types of users, and provides 2 different CRDs, one per user.

• Application developer (aka cluster user) - This is a user that deploys an application on the CODECO platforme. The CRD for the application deployment is CodecoApp.
• Cluster admin - TBD

Getting Started

You’ll need a Kubernetes cluster to run against. You can use KIND to get a local cluster for testing, or run against a remote cluster.
Note: Your controller will automatically use the current context in your kubeconfig file (i.e. whatever cluster kubectl cluster-info shows).

Running on the cluster

1. Build and push your image to the location specified by IMG:

> make docker-build docker-push IMG=<some-registry>/codecoapp-operator:tag

Note I: This is required only after code changes in the operator.
Note II: For <some-registry>, choose from a local registry, which also needs to be made visible in your cluster, to a remote registry, e.g., Docker hub or Podman.
Note III: For kind k8s cluster there is a need to push also the controller to the registry.
Run the following step as a one time step (tested with Docker hub) - this is needed if the cluster can't access images on localhost

> docker tag controller:latest <some-registry>/controller:tag
> docker push <some-registry>/controller:tag

1. Deploy the controller to the cluster with the image specified by IMG:

> make deploy IMG=<some-registry>/controller:latest

After successful deployment you should see a pod, a service, a deployment and a replicaset in the odecoapp-operator-system namespace - for example:

  > kubectl get all -n codecoapp-operator-system
  NAME                                                         READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
  pod/codecoapp-operator-controller-manager-8664b86964-6k9t4   2/2     Running   0          11s

  NAME                                                            TYPE        CLUSTER-IP     EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)    AGE
  service/codecoapp-operator-controller-manager-metrics-service   ClusterIP   11.11.11.111   <none>        8443/TCP   11s

  NAME                                                    READY   UP-TO-DATE   AVAILABLE   AGE
  deployment.apps/codecoapp-operator-controller-manager   1/1     1            1           11s

  NAME                                                               DESIRED   CURRENT   READY   AGE
  replicaset.apps/codecoapp-operator-controller-manager-8664b86964   1         1         1       11s

Note IV: For STATUS errors, inspect if the error is not related to the access to your registry. For example, if the error message refers to the correct registry or registry URL, and if your credentials are working.

The pod should be in Running state and ready

1. Install Instances of Custom Resources:

> kubectl apply -f config/samples/

Checking that the operator works (temp)

A check that the PoC operator that is installed from this rep is working - this may change in the future it just represents the PoC minimal functionality implemented now

1. Retrieve the CR deployed in the previous step

    > kubectl get codecoapps.codeco.he-codeco.eu -o yaml
   

2. In the retrieved resource you should see the status with the errormsg field (this field is visible only after the operator handles the resource)

   apiVersion: v1
   items:
   - apiVersion: codeco.he-codeco.eu/v1alpha1
     kind: CodecoApp
     metadata:
       annotations:

       metrics: {}
       status: OK

   metadata:

Uninstall CRDs

To delete the CRDs from the cluster:

> make uninstall

Undeploy controller

UnDeploy the controller from the cluster:

> make undeploy

Customizing the deployment/undeployment process

If you need to customize the deployment process (for example, deploy your own component with the CODECO operator), you can add your customization to the scripts in the ./scripts directory. These are shell scripts that are executed during the deployment and undeployment process.

• post_deploy.sh is executed before the deployment and can be used to install dependencies

Note: This script is executed before the namespace codecoapp-operator-system is created

• post_undeploy.sh is executed after the CODECO operator deplyment and can be used to install additional components, for example CODECO platform sub components (so the make deploy command installs the entire CPDECO platform)
• pre_undeploy.sh is executed before removing the CODECO operator and is the best place to uninstall additional compoenent that were installed in the post_undeploy.sh script.
• post_undeploy.sh is executed after the CODECO operator was removes and is a good place for last minutes cleanups.

Note: This script is executed after the namespace codecoapp-operator-system is removed

How it works

This project aims to follow the Kubernetes Operator pattern.

It uses Controllers, which provide a reconcile function responsible for synchronizing resources until the desired state is reached on the cluster.

Test It Out (Development only, not a real K8s cluster deployment)

1. Install the CRDs into the cluster:

> make install

1. Run your controller (this will run in the foreground, so switch to a new terminal if you want to leave it running):

> make run

NOTE: You can also run this in one step by running: make install run

Modifying the API definitions

If you are editing the API definitions, generate the manifests such as CRs or CRDs using:

> make manifests

NOTE: Run make --help for more information on all potential make targets

More information can be found via the Kubebuilder Documentation

Exploring the APIs

The script in scripts/get_openapi_defs.sh takes the API definitions and exports them in openapi V3 json format into the file codeco_openapi.json - this file is not part of the repo and should be generated by each user.
Note: The script uses the utilities jq and awk. It checks for their existence and asks the user to install them before exeuting.

In order to explore the API with Swagger, you can copy the file content and paste it into the swagger editor
