RemoteResource

RemoteResource is the foundation for implementing continuous deployment with razeedeploy. It retrieves and applies the configuration for all resources.

Install

kubectl apply -f "https://github.com/razee-io/RemoteResource/releases/latest/download/resource.yaml"

Resource Definition

Sample

apiVersion: "deploy.razee.io/v1alpha2"
kind: RemoteResource
metadata:
  name: <remote_resource_name>
  namespace: <namespace>
spec:
  requests:
    - options:
        url: https://<source_repo_url>/<file_name1>
        headers:
          <header_key1>: <header_value1>
          <header_key2>: <header_value2>
          <header_key3>:
            valueFrom:
              secretKeyRef:
                name: <name of secret resource>
                key: <key of secret>
    - optional: true
      options:
        url: http://<source_repo_url>/<file_name2>

Spec

Path: .spec

Description: spec is required and must include section requests.

Schema:

spec:
  type: object
  required: [requests]
  properties:
    requests:
      type: array
      ...

Request Options

Path: .spec.requests[].options

Description: All options defined in an options object will be passed as-is to the http request. This means you can specify things like headers for authentication in this section. See RemoteResourceS3 for authenticating with an S3 object store.

Schema:

options:
  type: object
  oneOf:
    - required: [url]
    - required: [uri]
  properties:
    url:
      type: string
      format: uri
    uri:
      type: string
      format: uri
    headers:
      type: object
      x-kubernetes-preserve-unknown-fields: true

Optional Request

Path: .spec.requests[].optional

Description: if download or applying child resource fails, RemoteResource will stop execution and report error to .status. You can allow execution to continue by marking a reference as optional.

Schema:

optional:
  type: boolean

Default: false

Managed Resource Labels

Reconcile

Child resource: .metadata.labels[deploy.razee.io/Reconcile]

• DEFAULT: true
  • A razeedeploy resource (parent) will clean up a resources it applies (child) when either the child is no longer in the parent resource definition or the parent is deleted.
• false
  • This behavior can be overridden when a child's resource definition has the label deploy.razee.io/Reconcile=false.

Resource Update Mode

Child resource: .metadata.labels[deploy.razee.io/mode]

Razeedeploy resources default to merge patching children. This behavior can be overridden when a child's resource definition has the label deploy.razee.io/mode=<mode>

Mode options:

• DEFAULT: MergePatch
  • A simple merge, that will merge objects and replace arrays. Items previously defined, then removed from the definition, will be removed from the live resource.
  • "As defined in RFC7386, a Merge Patch is essentially a partial representation of the resource. The submitted JSON is "merged" with the current resource to create a new one, then the new one is saved. For more details on how to use Merge Patch, see the RFC." Reference
• StrategicMergePatch
  • A more complicated merge, the kubernetes apiServer has defined keys to be able to intelligently merge arrays it knows about.
  • "Strategic Merge Patch is a custom implementation of Merge Patch. For a detailed explanation of how it works and why it needed to be introduced, see StrategicMergePatch." Reference
  • Kubectl Apply Semantics
• EnsureExists
  • Will ensure the resource is created and is replaced if deleted. Will not enforce a definition.

Debug Individual Resource

.spec.resources.metadata.labels[deploy.razee.io/debug]

Treats the live resource as EnsureExist. If any razeedeploy component is enforcing the resource, and the label deploy.razee.io/debug: true exists on the live resource, it will treat the resource as ensure exist and not override any changes. This is useful for when you need to debug a live resource and don't want razeedeploy overriding your changes. Note: this will only work when you add it to live resources. If you want to have the EnsureExist behavior, see Resource Update Mode.

• ie: kubectl label rr <your-rr> deploy.razee.io/debug=true

Lock Cluster Updates

Prevents the controller from updating resources on the cluster. If this is the first time creating the razeedeploy-config ConfigMap, you must delete the running controller pods so the deployment can mount the ConfigMap as a volume. If the razeedeploy-config ConfigMap already exists, just add the pair lock-cluster: true.

1. export CONTROLLER_NAME=remoteresource-controller && export CONTROLLER_NAMESPACE=razee
2. kubectl create cm razeedeploy-config -n $CONTROLLER_NAMESPACE --from-literal=lock-cluster=true
3. kubectl delete pods -n $CONTROLLER_NAMESPACE $(kubectl get pods -n $CONTROLLER_NAMESPACE | grep $CONTROLLER_NAME | awk '{print $1}' | paste -s -d ',' -)
