OAM Kubernetes Runtime

:tada: We have decided to promote OAM Kubernetes Runtime to an end-to-end app platform engine with the name of KubeVela. Please check its documentation site to learn about using OAM (Open Application Model) with Kubernetes in detail.

We made this decision because the growth of this project's feature set and community adoption have fairly exceeded its original scope as "an OAM library" in past 6 months and this made us feel it worth to promote it to a independent project which may even change how the community build developer-centric platforms in the foresee future.

Note that KubeVela is designed to support all features and APIs (i.e. OAM spec v0.2.x releases) of OAM Kubernetes Runtime. So as existing adopters, you could just replace your binary and everything is all set. We decided to avoid directly renaming this repository to KubeVela because there're some other adopters imported this project as a library, we don't want to break their use cases.

Though this also means we are focusing all of our attention on KubeVela repository and will only be working on this repository for critical updates and bug fixes.

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

Prerequisites

• Kubernetes v1.16+
• Helm 3

Installation

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

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 

For quick developing purpose only:

Verify the Installation

• We have some examples in the repo for you to verify the OAM control plane is working:

  git clone git@github.com: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:

    Last Transition Time:  2020-06-12T21:18:40Z

  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 oam -n oam-system
kubectl delete -f examples/containerized-workload
kubectl delete namespace oam-system --wait
