OAM Kubernetes Runtime

The official Kubernetes plug-in for Open Application Model (OAM).

OAM Kubernetes Runtime implements OAM specification to expose application centric API for any Kubernetes, specifically:

• Components - what workload to run?
• Traits - how to operate the workload?
• ApplicationConfiguration - apply traits to component
• Definitions - discover CRD/k8s API resource as workload/trait

This plug-in is designed as building block for creating OAM compliant platform with Kubernetes, rather than being used directly by developers or end-users.

Architecture

Prerequisites

• Kubernetes v1.16+
• Helm 3

Install OAM Kubernetes Runtime

1. Create namespace for OAM runtime controller

kubectl create namespace oam-system

2. Add helm repo

helm repo add crossplane-master https://charts.crossplane.io/master/

3. Install OAM Kubernetes Runtime

You can directly install it without webhook by:

helm install oam --namespace oam-system crossplane-master/oam-kubernetes-runtime --devel

Or you can install with webhook enabled by following steps:

• Step 1: Admission Webhook need you to prepare certificates and ca for production use. For none-production use, you could generate them by running the shell script provided in repo.

  curl -sfL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/crossplane/oam-kubernetes-runtime/master/hack/ssl/ssl.sh | bash -s oam-kubernetes-runtime-webhook oam-system

  The shell will generate files like below:

  $ tree
  .
  ├── csr.conf
  ├── oam-kubernetes-runtime-webhook.csr
  ├── oam-kubernetes-runtime-webhook.key
  └── oam-kubernetes-runtime-webhook.pem
  
  0 directories, 4 files

• Step 2: Create secret for ssl certificates:

  • Notice the server key and certificate must be named tls.key and tls.crt, respectively.
  • Secret name can be user defined, we'd better align with chart values.

  kubectl -n oam-system create secret generic webhook-server-cert --from-file=tls.key=./oam-kubernetes-runtime-webhook.key --from-file=tls.crt=./oam-kubernetes-runtime-webhook.pem

• Step 3: Get CA Bundle info and install with its value

  caValue=`kubectl config view --raw --minify --flatten -o jsonpath='{.clusters[].cluster.certificate-authority-data}'`
  helm install core-runtime -n oam-system ./charts/oam-kubernetes-runtime --set useWebhook=true --set certificate.caBundle=$caValue 

Get started

• We have some examples in our repo, clone and get started with it.

  git clone [email protected]:crossplane/oam-kubernetes-runtime.git	
  cd ./oam-kubernetes-runtime	

• Apply a sample application configuration

  kubectl apply -f examples/containerized-workload

• Verify that the application is running

  Check its components:

  kubectl get components
  NAME                WORKLOAD-KIND           AGE
  example-component   ContainerizedWorkload   63s

  Check its application configuration:

  kubectl get appconfig
  NAME                AGE
  example-appconfig   3m48s

  Check the status and events from the application

  kubectl describe appconfig example-appconfig
  Status:
    Conditions:
      Last Transition Time:  2020-06-12T21:18:40Z
      Reason:                Successfully reconciled resource
      Status:                True
      Type:                  Synced
    Workloads:
      Component Name:  example-component
      Traits:

          Kind:         ManualScalerTrait

    Normal  Service created        6s (x3 over 6s)  ContainerizedWorkload                      Workload `example-appconfig-workload` successfully server side patched a service `example-appconfig-workload`

  You should also check underlying deployment and service looking like below

  kubectl get deployments
  NAME                                    READY   UP-TO-DATE   AVAILABLE   AGE
  example-appconfig-workload-deployment   3/3   3           3              28s

  kubectl get services
  AME                                             TYPE       CLUSTER-IP     EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)    AGE
  example-appconfig-workload-deployment-service   NodePort   10.96.78.215   <none>        8080/TCP   28s

Cleanup

helm uninstall core-runtime -n oam-system
kubectl delete -f examples/containerized-workload
kubectl delete namespace oam-system --wait
