devops system

shared by 張 旭 on 13 Nov 18 - No Cached
  • DevOps is a set of practices that automates the processes between software development and IT teams, in order that they can build, test, and release software faster and more reliably.
  • increased trust, faster software releases, ability to solve critical issues quickly, and better manage unplanned work.
  • bringing together the best of software development and IT operations.
  • ...39 more annotations...
  • DevOps is a culture, a movement, a philosophy.
  • a firm handshake between development and operations
  • DevOps isn’t magic, and transformations don’t happen overnight.
  • Infrastructure as code
  • Culture is the #1 success factor in DevOps.
  • Building a culture of shared responsibility, transparency and faster feedback is the foundation of every high performing DevOps team.
  •  'not our problem' mentality
  • DevOps is that change in mindset of looking at the development process holistically and breaking down the barrier between Dev and Ops.
  • Speed is everything.
  • Lack of automated test and review cycles block the release to production and poor incident response time kills velocity and team confidence
  • Open communication helps Dev and Ops teams swarm on issues, fix incidents, and unblock the release pipeline faster.
  • Unplanned work is a reality that every team faces–a reality that most often impacts team productivity.
  • “cross-functional collaboration.”
  • All the tooling and automation in the world are useless if they aren’t accompanied by a genuine desire on the part of development and IT/Ops professionals to work together.
  • DevOps doesn’t solve tooling problems. It solves human problems.
  • Forming project- or product-oriented teams to replace function-based teams is a step in the right direction.
  • sharing a common goal and having a plan to reach it together
  • join sprint planning sessions, daily stand-ups, and sprint demos.
  • DevOps culture across every department
  • open channels of communication, and talk regularly
  • DevOps isn’t one team’s job. It’s everyone’s job.
  • automation eliminates repetitive manual work, yields repeatable processes, and creates reliable systems.
  • Build, test, deploy, and provisioning automation
  • continuous delivery: the practice of running each code change through a gauntlet of automated tests, often facilitated by cloud-based infrastructure, then packaging up successful builds and promoting them up toward production using automated deploys.
  • automated deploys alert IT/Ops to server “drift” between environments, which reduces or eliminates surprises when it’s time to release.
  • “configuration as code.”
  • when DevOps uses automated deploys to send thoroughly tested code to identically provisioned environments, “Works on my machine!” becomes irrelevant.
  • A DevOps mindset sees opportunities for continuous improvement everywhere.
  • regular retrospectives
  • A/B testing
  • failure is inevitable. So you might as well set up your team to absorb it, recover, and learn from it (some call this “being anti-fragile”).
  • Postmortems focus on where processes fell down and how to strengthen them – not on which team member f'ed up the code.
  • Our engineers are responsible for QA, writing, and running their own tests to get the software out to customers.
  • How long did it take to go from development to deployment? 
  • How long does it take to recover after a system failure?
  • service level agreements (SLAs)
  • Devops isn't any single person's job. It's everyone's job.
  • DevOps is big on the idea that the same people who build an application should be involved in shipping and running it.
  • developers and operators pair with each other in each phase of the application’s lifecycle.

programming git gitlab flow

shared by 張 旭 on 14 Mar 20 - No Cached
  • GitLab flow as a clearly defined set of best practices. It combines feature-driven development and feature branches with issue tracking.
  • In Git, you add files from the working copy to the staging area. After that, you commit them to your local repo. The third step is pushing to a shared remote repository.
  • branching model
  • ...68 more annotations...
  • The biggest problem is that many long-running branches emerge that all contain part of the changes.
  • It is a convention to call your default branch master and to mostly branch from and merge to this.
  • Nowadays, most organizations practice continuous delivery, which means that your default branch can be deployed.
  • Continuous delivery removes the need for hotfix and release branches, including all the ceremony they introduce.
  • Merging everything into the master branch and frequently deploying means you minimize the amount of unreleased code, which is in line with lean and continuous delivery best practices.
  • GitHub flow assumes you can deploy to production every time you merge a feature branch.
  • You can deploy a new version by merging master into the production branch. If you need to know what code is in production, you can just checkout the production branch to see.
  • Production branch
  • Environment branches
  • have an environment that is automatically updated to the master branch.
  • deploy the master branch to staging.
  • To deploy to pre-production, create a merge request from the master branch to the pre-production branch.
  • Go live by merging the pre-production branch into the production branch.
  • Release branches
  • work with release branches if you need to release software to the outside world.
  • each branch contains a minor version
  • After announcing a release branch, only add serious bug fixes to the branch.
  • merge these bug fixes into master, and then cherry-pick them into the release branch.
  • Merging into master and then cherry-picking into release is called an “upstream first” policy
  • Tools such as GitHub and Bitbucket choose the name “pull request” since the first manual action is to pull the feature branch.
  • Tools such as GitLab and others choose the name “merge request” since the final action is to merge the feature branch.
  • If you work on a feature branch for more than a few hours, it is good to share the intermediate result with the rest of the team.
  • the merge request automatically updates when new commits are pushed to the branch.
  • If the assigned person does not feel comfortable, they can request more changes or close the merge request without merging.
  • In GitLab, it is common to protect the long-lived branches, e.g., the master branch, so that most developers can’t modify them.
  • if you want to merge into a protected branch, assign your merge request to someone with maintainer permissions.
  • After you merge a feature branch, you should remove it from the source control software.
  • Having a reason for every code change helps to inform the rest of the team and to keep the scope of a feature branch small.
  • If there is no issue yet, create the issue
  • The issue title should describe the desired state of the system.
  • For example, the issue title “As an administrator, I want to remove users without receiving an error” is better than “Admin can’t remove users.”
  • create a branch for the issue from the master branch
  • If you open the merge request but do not assign it to anyone, it is a “Work In Progress” merge request.
  • Start the title of the merge request with [WIP] or WIP: to prevent it from being merged before it’s ready.
  • When they press the merge button, GitLab merges the code and creates a merge commit that makes this event easily visible later on.
  • Merge requests always create a merge commit, even when the branch could be merged without one. This merge strategy is called “no fast-forward” in Git.
  • Suppose that a branch is merged but a problem occurs and the issue is reopened. In this case, it is no problem to reuse the same branch name since the first branch was deleted when it was merged.
  • At any time, there is at most one branch for every issue.
  • It is possible that one feature branch solves more than one issue.
  • GitLab closes these issues when the code is merged into the default branch.
  • If you have an issue that spans across multiple repositories, create an issue for each repository and link all issues to a parent issue.
  • use an interactive rebase (rebase -i) to squash multiple commits into one or reorder them.
  • you should never rebase commits you have pushed to a remote server.
  • Rebasing creates new commits for all your changes, which can cause confusion because the same change would have multiple identifiers.
  • if someone has already reviewed your code, rebasing makes it hard to tell what changed since the last review.
  • never rebase commits authored by other people.
  • it is a bad idea to rebase commits that you have already pushed.
  • If you revert a merge commit and then change your mind, revert the revert commit to redo the merge.
  • Often, people avoid merge commits by just using rebase to reorder their commits after the commits on the master branch.
  • Using rebase prevents a merge commit when merging master into your feature branch, and it creates a neat linear history.
  • every time you rebase, you have to resolve similar conflicts.
  • Sometimes you can reuse recorded resolutions (rerere), but merging is better since you only have to resolve conflicts once.
  • A good way to prevent creating many merge commits is to not frequently merge master into the feature branch.
  • keep your feature branches short-lived.
  • Most feature branches should take less than one day of work.
  • If your feature branches often take more than a day of work, try to split your features into smaller units of work.
  • You could also use feature toggles to hide incomplete features so you can still merge back into master every day.
  • you should try to prevent merge commits, but not eliminate them.
  • Your codebase should be clean, but your history should represent what actually happened.
  • If you rebase code, the history is incorrect, and there is no way for tools to remedy this because they can’t deal with changing commit identifiers
  • Commit often and push frequently
  • You should push your feature branch frequently, even when it is not yet ready for review.
  • A commit message should reflect your intention, not just the contents of the commit.
  • each merge request must be tested before it is accepted.
  • test the master branch after each change.
  • If new commits in master cause merge conflicts with the feature branch, merge master back into the branch to make the CI server re-run the tests.
  • When creating a feature branch, always branch from an up-to-date master.
  • Do not merge from upstream again if your code can work and merge cleanly without doing so.

  • in AngularJS, we have a separate model layer that we can manage in any way we want, completely independently from the view.
  • keep your concerns separate
  • do DOM manipulation and augment your view with directives
  • ...34 more annotations...
  • DI means that you can declare components very freely and then from any other component, just ask for an instance of it and it will be granted
  • do test-driven development iteratively in AngularJS!
  • only do DOM manipulation in a directive
  • with ngClass we can dynamically update the class;
  • ngBind allows two-way data binding;
  • ngShow and ngHide programmatically show or hide an element;
  • The less DOM manipulation, the easier directives are to test, the easier they are to style, the easier they are to change in the future, and the more re-usable and distributable they are.
  • still wrong.
  • Before doing DOM manipulation anywhere in your application, ask yourself if you really need to.
  • a few things wrong with this
  • jQuery was never necessary
  • use angular.element and our component will still work when dropped into a project that doesn't have jQuery.
  • just use angular.element
  • the element that is passed to the link function would already be a jQuery element!
  • directives aren't just collections of jQuery-like functions
  • Directives are actually extensions of HTML
  • If HTML doesn't do something you need it to do, you write a directive to do it for you, and then use it just as if it was part of HTML.
  • think how the team would accomplish it to fit right in with ngClick, ngClass, et al.
  • Don't even use jQuery. Don't even include it.
  • ry to think about how to do it within the confines the AngularJS.
  • In jQuery, selectors are used to find DOM elements and then bind/register event handlers to them.
  • Views are (declarative) HTML that contain AngularJS directives
  • Directives set up the event handlers behind the scenes for us and give us dynamic databinding.
  • Views are tied to models (via scopes). Views are a projection of the model
  • In AngularJS, think about models, rather than jQuery-selected DOM elements that hold your data.
  • AngularJS uses controllers and directives (each of which can have their own controller, and/or compile and linking functions) to remove behavior from the view/structure (HTML). Angular also has services and filters to help separate/organize your application.
  • Think about your models
  • Think about how you want to present your models -- your views.
  • using the necessary directives to get dynamic databinding.
  • Attach a controller to each view (using ng-view and routing, or ng-controller)
  • Make controllers as thin as possible.
  • You can do a lot with jQuery without knowing about how JavaScript prototypal inheritance works.
  • jQuery is a library
  • AngularJS is a beautiful client-side framework

  • 把Code Review称为“代码回顾”好一些。如果大家放弃“挑错”，来“共同学习”
  • 团队成员共同识别模式
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • 程序员编写代码的习惯
  • 几百行的一个类文件
  • 复杂的if-else嵌套
  • 代码回顾的过程中，完全可以不提谁是代码的作者，而只提“好模式”和“反模式”，这样能让作者放松心态
  • 好模式和反模式，其实就是编程的好习惯和坏习惯。代码回顾应该重在识别编程习惯，而不是找bug
  • 代码回顾也需要每次少量，每日持续
  • 将每日代码回顾的时间控制在半小时以内，细水长流，才能持续
  • 每日的代码回顾，仅需要在半小时内，大家一起看200～300行随机抽取的当天编写的代码就够了
  • 如果代码编写得好，那么不是作者的人就能在没有作者帮助的情况下读懂。我希望一位不是这段代码作者的志愿者，来为大家解释一下这段代码是做什么的。
  • 要尽量找那些被改正过来的曾经的反模式，比如“这段代码用到了方法提取，且命名富有表达力，改掉了昨天’长方法’的反模式”。只识别反模式，不识别好模式，会让代码回顾退化到令人生畏的代码审查，打掉大家长期坚持的积极性。

  • a synchronous driver that will execute jobs immediately (for local use)
  • ...56 more annotations...
  • A null queue driver is also included which discards queued jobs.
  • In your config/queue.php configuration file, there is a connections configuration option.
  • any given queue connection may have multiple "queues" which may be thought of as different stacks or piles of queued jobs.
  • each connection configuration example in the queue configuration file contains a queue attribute.
  • if you dispatch a job without explicitly defining which queue it should be dispatched to, the job will be placed on the queue that is defined in the queue attribute of the connection configuration
  • pushing jobs to multiple queues can be especially useful for applications that wish to prioritize or segment how jobs are processed
  • specify which queues it should process by priority.
  • If your Redis queue connection uses a Redis Cluster, your queue names must contain a key hash tag.
  • ensure all of the Redis keys for a given queue are placed into the same hash slot
  • all of the queueable jobs for your application are stored in the app/Jobs directory.
  • Job classes are very simple, normally containing only a handle method which is called when the job is processed by the queue.
  • we were able to pass an Eloquent model directly into the queued job's constructor. Because of the SerializesModels trait that the job is using, Eloquent models will be gracefully serialized and unserialized when the job is processing.
  • When the job is actually handled, the queue system will automatically re-retrieve the full model instance from the database.
  • The handle method is called when the job is processed by the queue
  • The arguments passed to the dispatch method will be given to the job's constructor
  • delay the execution of a queued job, you may use the delay method when dispatching a job.
  • dispatch a job immediately (synchronously), you may use the dispatchNow method.
  • When using this method, the job will not be queued and will be run immediately within the current process
  • specify a list of queued jobs that should be run in sequence.
  • Deleting jobs using the $this->delete() method will not prevent chained jobs from being processed. The chain will only stop executing if a job in the chain fails.
  • this does not push jobs to different queue "connections" as defined by your queue configuration file, but only to specific queues within a single connection.
  • To specify the queue, use the onQueue method when dispatching the job
  • To specify the connection, use the onConnection method when dispatching the job
  • defining the maximum number of attempts on the job class itself.
  • to defining how many times a job may be attempted before it fails, you may define a time at which the job should timeout.
  • using the funnel method, you may limit jobs of a given type to only be processed by one worker at a time
  • using the throttle method, you may throttle a given type of job to only run 10 times every 60 seconds.
  • If an exception is thrown while the job is being processed, the job will automatically be released back onto the queue so it may be attempted again.
  • dispatch a Closure. This is great for quick, simple tasks that need to be executed outside of the current request cycle
  • When dispatching Closures to the queue, the Closure's code contents is cryptographically signed so it can not be modified in transit.
  • Laravel includes a queue worker that will process new jobs as they are pushed onto the queue.
  • once the queue:work command has started, it will continue to run until it is manually stopped or you close your terminal
  • queue workers are long-lived processes and store the booted application state in memory.
  • they will not notice changes in your code base after they have been started.
  • during your deployment process, be sure to restart your queue workers.
  • customize your queue worker even further by only processing particular queues for a given connection
  • The --once option may be used to instruct the worker to only process a single job from the queue
  • The --stop-when-empty option may be used to instruct the worker to process all jobs and then exit gracefully.
  • Daemon queue workers do not "reboot" the framework before processing each job.
  • you should free any heavy resources after each job completes.
  • Since queue workers are long-lived processes, they will not pick up changes to your code without being restarted.
  • restart the workers during your deployment process.
  • php artisan queue:restart
  • The queue uses the cache to store restart signals
  • the queue workers will die when the queue:restart command is executed, you should be running a process manager such as Supervisor to automatically restart the queue workers.
  • each queue connection defines a retry_after option. This option specifies how many seconds the queue connection should wait before retrying a job that is being processed.
  • The --timeout option specifies how long the Laravel queue master process will wait before killing off a child queue worker that is processing a job.
  • When jobs are available on the queue, the worker will keep processing jobs with no delay in between them.
  • While sleeping, the worker will not process any new jobs - the jobs will be processed after the worker wakes up again
  • the numprocs directive will instruct Supervisor to run 8 queue:work processes and monitor all of them, automatically restarting them if they fail.
  • Laravel includes a convenient way to specify the maximum number of times a job should be attempted.
  • define a failed method directly on your job class, allowing you to perform job specific clean-up when a failure occurs.
  • a great opportunity to notify your team via email or Slack.

  • Rollbacks are often costly, time-consuming, or even impossible.
  • In a rolling deployment, an application’s new version gradually replaces the old one.
  • new and old versions will coexist without affecting functionality or user experience.
  • Each container is modified to download the latest image from the app vendor’s site.
  • two identical production environments work in parallel.
  • Once the testing results are successful, application traffic is routed from blue to green.
  • In a blue-green deployment, both systems use the same persistence layer or database back end.
  • You can use the primary database by blue for write operations and use the secondary by green for read operations.
  • Blue-green deployments rely on traffic routing.
  • long TTL values can delay these changes.
  • The main challenge of canary deployment is to devise a way to route some users to the new application.
  • Using an application logic to unlock new features to specific users and groups.
  • With CD, the CI-built code artifact is packaged and always ready to be deployed in one or more environments.
  • Use Build Automation tools to automate environment builds
  • Use configuration management tools
  • Enable automated rollbacks for deployments
  • An application performance monitoring (APM) tool can help your team monitor critical performance metrics including server response times after deployments.

  • apiVersion: The chart API version, always "v1" (required)
  • Every chart must have a version number. A version must follow the SemVer 2 standard.
  • non-SemVer names are explicitly disallowed by the system.
  • When generating a package, the helm package command will use the version that it finds in the Chart.yaml as a token in the package name.
  • the appVersion field is not related to the version field. It is a way of specifying the version of the application.
  • appVersion: The version of the app that this contains (optional). This needn't be SemVer.
  • If the latest version of a chart in the repository is marked as deprecated, then the chart as a whole is considered to be deprecated.
  • deprecated: Whether this chart is deprecated (optional, boolean)
  • one chart may depend on any number of other charts.
  • dependencies can be dynamically linked through the requirements.yaml file or brought in to the charts/ directory and managed manually.
  • the preferred method of declaring dependencies is by using a requirements.yaml file inside of your chart.
  • A requirements.yaml file is a simple file for listing your dependencies.
  • The repository field is the full URL to the chart repository.
  • you must also use helm repo add to add that repo locally.
  • helm dependency update and it will use your dependency file to download all the specified charts into your charts/ directory for you.
  • When helm dependency update retrieves charts, it will store them as chart archives in the charts/ directory.
  • Managing charts with requirements.yaml is a good way to easily keep charts updated, and also share requirements information throughout a team.
  • All charts are loaded by default.
  • The condition field holds one or more YAML paths (delimited by commas). If this path exists in the top parent’s values and resolves to a boolean value, the chart will be enabled or disabled based on that boolean value.
  • The tags field is a YAML list of labels to associate with this chart.
  • all charts with tags can be enabled or disabled by specifying the tag and a boolean value.
  • The --set parameter can be used as usual to alter tag and condition values.
  • Conditions (when set in values) always override tags.
  • The first condition path that exists wins and subsequent ones for that chart are ignored.
  • The keys containing the values to be imported can be specified in the parent chart’s requirements.yaml file using a YAML list. Each item in the list is a key which is imported from the child chart’s exports field.
  • specifying the key data in our import list, Helm looks in the exports field of the child chart for data key and imports its contents.
  • the parent key data is not contained in the parent’s final values. If you need to specify the parent key, use the ‘child-parent’ format.
  • To access values that are not contained in the exports key of the child chart’s values, you will need to specify the source key of the values to be imported (child) and the destination path in the parent chart’s values (parent).
  • To drop a dependency into your charts/ directory, use the helm fetch command
  • A dependency can be either a chart archive (foo-1.2.3.tgz) or an unpacked chart directory.
  • name cannot start with _ or .. Such files are ignored by the chart loader.
  • a single release is created with all the objects for the chart and its dependencies.
  • Helm Chart templates are written in the Go template language, with the addition of 50 or so add-on template functions from the Sprig library and a few other specialized functions
  • When Helm renders the charts, it will pass every file in that directory through the template engine.
  • Chart developers may supply a file called values.yaml inside of a chart. This file can contain default values.
  • Chart users may supply a YAML file that contains values. This can be provided on the command line with helm install.
  • When a user supplies custom values, these values will override the values in the chart’s values.yaml file.
  • Template files follow the standard conventions for writing Go templates
  • {{default "minio" .Values.storage}}
  • Values that are supplied via a values.yaml file (or via the --set flag) are accessible from the .Values object in a template.
  • pre-defined, are available to every template, and cannot be overridden
  • the names are case sensitive
  • Release.Name: The name of the release (not the chart)
  • Release.IsUpgrade: This is set to true if the current operation is an upgrade or rollback.
  • Release.Revision: The revision number. It begins at 1, and increments with each helm upgrade
  • Chart: The contents of the Chart.yaml
  • Files: A map-like object containing all non-special files in the chart.
  • Files can be accessed using {{index .Files "file.name"}} or using the {{.Files.Get name}} or {{.Files.GetString name}} functions.
  • .helmignore
  • access the contents of the file as []byte using {{.Files.GetBytes}}
  • Any unknown Chart.yaml fields will be dropped
  • Chart.yaml cannot be used to pass arbitrarily structured data into the template.
  • A values file is formatted in YAML.
  • A chart may include a default values.yaml file
  • be merged into the default values file.
  • The default values file included inside of a chart must be named values.yaml
  • accessible inside of templates using the .Values object
  • Values files can declare values for the top-level chart, as well as for any of the charts that are included in that chart’s charts/ directory.
  • Charts at a higher level have access to all of the variables defined beneath.
  • lower level charts cannot access things in parent charts
  • Values are namespaced, but namespaces are pruned.
  • the scope of the values has been reduced and the namespace prefix removed
  • Helm supports special “global” value.
  • a way of sharing one top-level variable with all subcharts, which is useful for things like setting metadata properties like labels.
  • If a subchart declares a global variable, that global will be passed downward (to the subchart’s subcharts), but not upward to the parent chart.
  • global variables of parent charts take precedence over the global variables from subcharts.
  • helm lint
  • A chart repository is an HTTP server that houses one or more packaged charts
  • Any HTTP server that can serve YAML files and tar files and can answer GET requests can be used as a repository server.
  • Helm does not provide tools for uploading charts to remote repository servers.
  • the only way to add a chart to $HELM_HOME/starters is to manually copy it there.
  • Helm provides a hook mechanism to allow chart developers to intervene at certain points in a release’s life cycle.
  • Execute a Job to back up a database before installing a new chart, and then execute a second job after the upgrade in order to restore data.
  • Hooks are declared as an annotation in the metadata section of a manifest
  • Hooks work like regular templates, but they have special annotations
  • pre-install
  • post-install: Executes after all resources are loaded into Kubernetes
  • pre-delete
  • post-delete: Executes on a deletion request after all of the release’s resources have been deleted.
  • pre-upgrade
  • post-upgrade
  • pre-rollback
  • post-rollback: Executes on a rollback request after all resources have been modified.
  • crd-install
  • test-success: Executes when running helm test and expects the pod to return successfully (return code == 0).
  • test-failure: Executes when running helm test and expects the pod to fail (return code != 0).
  • Hooks allow you, the chart developer, an opportunity to perform operations at strategic points in a release lifecycle
  • Tiller then loads the hook with the lowest weight first (negative to positive)
  • Tiller returns the release name (and other data) to the client
  • If the resources is a Job kind, Tiller will wait until the job successfully runs to completion.
  • if the job fails, the release will fail. This is a blocking operation, so the Helm client will pause while the Job is run.
  • If they have hook weights (see below), they are executed in weighted order. Otherwise, ordering is not guaranteed.
  • good practice to add a hook weight, and set it to 0 if weight is not important.
  • The resources that a hook creates are not tracked or managed as part of the release.
  • leave the hook resource alone.
  • To destroy such resources, you need to either write code to perform this operation in a pre-delete or post-delete hook or add "helm.sh/hook-delete-policy" annotation to the hook template file.
  • Hooks are just Kubernetes manifest files with special annotations in the metadata section
  • One resource can implement multiple hooks
  • no limit to the number of different resources that may implement a given hook.
  • When subcharts declare hooks, those are also evaluated. There is no way for a top-level chart to disable the hooks declared by subcharts.
  • Hook weights can be positive or negative numbers but must be represented as strings.
  • sort those hooks in ascending order.
  • Hook deletion policies
  • "before-hook-creation" specifies Tiller should delete the previous hook before the new hook is launched.
  • By default Tiller will wait for 60 seconds for a deleted hook to no longer exist in the API server before timing out.
  • Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) are a special kind in Kubernetes.
  • The crd-install hook is executed very early during an installation, before the rest of the manifests are verified.
  • A common reason why the hook resource might already exist is that it was not deleted following use on a previous install/upgrade.
  • Helm uses Go templates for templating your resource files.
  • two special template functions: include and required
  • include function allows you to bring in another template, and then pass the results to other template functions.
  • The required function allows you to declare a particular values entry as required for template rendering.
  • If the value is empty, the template rendering will fail with a user submitted error message.
  • When you are working with string data, you are always safer quoting the strings than leaving them as bare words
  • Quote Strings, Don’t Quote Integers
  • when working with integers do not quote the values
  • env variables values which are expected to be string
  • to include a template, and then perform an operation on that template’s output, Helm has a special include function
  • The above includes a template called toYaml, passes it $value, and then passes the output of that template to the nindent function.
  • Go provides a way for setting template options to control behavior when a map is indexed with a key that’s not present in the map
  • The required function gives developers the ability to declare a value entry as required for template rendering.
  • The tpl function allows developers to evaluate strings as templates inside a template.
  • Rendering a external configuration file
  • (.Files.Get "conf/app.conf")
  • Image pull secrets are essentially a combination of registry, username, and password.
  • Automatically Roll Deployments When ConfigMaps or Secrets change
  • configmaps or secrets are injected as configuration files in containers
  • a restart may be required should those be updated with a subsequent helm upgrade
  • The sha256sum function can be used to ensure a deployment’s annotation section is updated if another file changes
  • checksum/config: {{ include (print $.Template.BasePath "/configmap.yaml") . | sha256sum }}
  • helm upgrade --recreate-pods
  • "helm.sh/resource-policy": keep
  • resources that should not be deleted when Helm runs a helm delete
  • this resource becomes orphaned. Helm will no longer manage it in any way.
  • create some reusable parts in your chart
  • In the templates/ directory, any file that begins with an underscore(_) is not expected to output a Kubernetes manifest file.
  • by convention, helper templates and partials are placed in a _helpers.tpl file.
  • The current best practice for composing a complex application from discrete parts is to create a top-level umbrella chart that exposes the global configurations, and then use the charts/ subdirectory to embed each of the components.
  • SAP’s Converged charts: These charts install SAP Converged Cloud a full OpenStack IaaS on Kubernetes. All of the charts are collected together in one GitHub repository, except for a few submodules.
  • Deis’s Workflow: This chart exposes the entire Deis PaaS system with one chart. But it’s different from the SAP chart in that this umbrella chart is built from each component, and each component is tracked in a different Git repository.
  • YAML is a superset of JSON
  • any valid JSON structure ought to be valid in YAML.
  • As a best practice, templates should follow a YAML-like syntax unless the JSON syntax substantially reduces the risk of a formatting issue.
  • There are functions in Helm that allow you to generate random data, cryptographic keys, and so on.
  • a chart repository is a location where packaged charts can be stored and shared.
  • A chart repository is an HTTP server that houses an index.yaml file and optionally some packaged charts.
  • Because a chart repository can be any HTTP server that can serve YAML and tar files and can answer GET requests, you have a plethora of options when it comes down to hosting your own chart repository.
  • It is not required that a chart package be located on the same server as the index.yaml file.
  • A valid chart repository must have an index file. The index file contains information about each chart in the chart repository.
  • The Helm project provides an open-source Helm repository server called ChartMuseum that you can host yourself.
  • $ helm repo index fantastic-charts --url https://fantastic-charts.storage.googleapis.com
  • A repository will not be added if it does not contain a valid index.yaml
  • add the repository to their helm client via the helm repo add [NAME] [URL] command with any name they would like to use to reference the repository.
  • Helm has provenance tools which help chart users verify the integrity and origin of a package.
  • Integrity is established by comparing a chart to a provenance record
  • The provenance file contains a chart’s YAML file plus several pieces of verification information
  • Chart repositories serve as a centralized collection of Helm charts.
  • Chart repositories must make it possible to serve provenance files over HTTP via a specific request, and must make them available at the same URI path as the chart.
  • We don’t want to be “the certificate authority” for all chart signers. Instead, we strongly favor a decentralized model, which is part of the reason we chose OpenPGP as our foundational technology.
  • The Keybase platform provides a public centralized repository for trust information.
  • A chart contains a number of Kubernetes resources and components that work together.
  • A test in a helm chart lives under the templates/ directory and is a pod definition that specifies a container with a given command to run.
  • The pod definition must contain one of the helm test hook annotations: helm.sh/hook: test-success or helm.sh/hook: test-failure
  • helm test
  • nest your test suite under a tests/ directory like <chart-name>/templates/tests/

kubernetes helm system

shared by 張 旭 on 17 Jul 19 - No Cached
  • Helm will figure out where to install Tiller by reading your Kubernetes configuration file (usually $HOME/.kube/config). This is the same file that kubectl uses.
  • kubectl cluster-info
  • Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) enabled
  • ...133 more annotations...
  • initialize the local CLI
  • install Tiller into your Kubernetes cluster
  • helm install
  • helm init --upgrade
  • By default, when Tiller is installed, it does not have authentication enabled.
  • helm repo update
  • Without a max history set the history is kept indefinitely, leaving a large number of records for helm and tiller to maintain.
  • helm init --upgrade
  • Whenever you install a chart, a new release is created.
  • one chart can be installed multiple times into the same cluster. And each can be independently managed and upgraded.
  • helm list function will show you a list of all deployed releases.
  • helm delete
  • helm status
  • you can audit a cluster’s history, and even undelete a release (with helm rollback).
  • the Helm server (Tiller).
  • The Helm client (helm)
  • brew install kubernetes-helm
  • Tiller, the server portion of Helm, typically runs inside of your Kubernetes cluster.
  • it can also be run locally, and configured to talk to a remote Kubernetes cluster.
  • Role-Based Access Control - RBAC for short
  • create a service account for Tiller with the right roles and permissions to access resources.
  • run Tiller in an RBAC-enabled Kubernetes cluster.
  • run kubectl get pods --namespace kube-system and see Tiller running.
  • helm inspect
  • Helm will look for Tiller in the kube-system namespace unless --tiller-namespace or TILLER_NAMESPACE is set.
  • For development, it is sometimes easier to work on Tiller locally, and configure it to connect to a remote Kubernetes cluster.
  • even when running locally, Tiller will store release configuration in ConfigMaps inside of Kubernetes.
  • helm version should show you both the client and server version.
  • Tiller stores its data in Kubernetes ConfigMaps, you can safely delete and re-install Tiller without worrying about losing any data.
  • helm reset
  • The --node-selectors flag allows us to specify the node labels required for scheduling the Tiller pod.
  • --override allows you to specify properties of Tiller’s deployment manifest.
  • helm init --override manipulates the specified properties of the final manifest (there is no “values” file).
  • The --output flag allows us skip the installation of Tiller’s deployment manifest and simply output the deployment manifest to stdout in either JSON or YAML format.
  • By default, tiller stores release information in ConfigMaps in the namespace where it is running.
  • switch from the default backend to the secrets backend, you’ll have to do the migration for this on your own.
  • a beta SQL storage backend that stores release information in an SQL database (only postgres has been tested so far).
  • Once you have the Helm Client and Tiller successfully installed, you can move on to using Helm to manage charts.
  • Helm requires that kubelet have access to a copy of the socat program to proxy connections to the Tiller API.
  • A Release is an instance of a chart running in a Kubernetes cluster. One chart can often be installed many times into the same cluster.
  • helm init --client-only
  • helm init --dry-run --debug
  • A panic in Tiller is almost always the result of a failure to negotiate with the Kubernetes API server
  • Tiller and Helm have to negotiate a common version to make sure that they can safely communicate without breaking API assumptions
  • helm delete --purge
  • Helm stores some files in $HELM_HOME, which is located by default in ~/.helm
  • A Chart is a Helm package. It contains all of the resource definitions necessary to run an application, tool, or service inside of a Kubernetes cluster.
  • it like the Kubernetes equivalent of a Homebrew formula, an Apt dpkg, or a Yum RPM file.
  • A Repository is the place where charts can be collected and shared.
  • Set the $HELM_HOME environment variable
  • each time it is installed, a new release is created.
  • Helm installs charts into Kubernetes, creating a new release for each installation. And to find new charts, you can search Helm chart repositories.
  • chart repository is named stable by default
  • helm search shows you all of the available charts
  • helm inspect
  • To install a new package, use the helm install command. At its simplest, it takes only one argument: The name of the chart.
  • If you want to use your own release name, simply use the --name flag on helm install
  • additional configuration steps you can or should take.
  • Helm does not wait until all of the resources are running before it exits. Many charts require Docker images that are over 600M in size, and may take a long time to install into the cluster.
  • helm status
  • helm inspect values
  • helm inspect values stable/mariadb
  • override any of these settings in a YAML formatted file, and then pass that file during installation.
  • helm install -f config.yaml stable/mariadb
  • --values (or -f): Specify a YAML file with overrides.
  • --set (and its variants --set-string and --set-file): Specify overrides on the command line.
  • Values that have been --set can be cleared by running helm upgrade with --reset-values specified.
  • Chart designers are encouraged to consider the --set usage when designing the format of a values.yaml file.
  • --set-file key=filepath is another variant of --set. It reads the file and use its content as a value.
  • inject a multi-line text into values without dealing with indentation in YAML.
  • An unpacked chart directory
  • When a new version of a chart is released, or when you want to change the configuration of your release, you can use the helm upgrade command.
  • Kubernetes charts can be large and complex, Helm tries to perform the least invasive upgrade.
  • It will only update things that have changed since the last release
  • $ helm upgrade -f panda.yaml happy-panda stable/mariadb
  • deployment
  • If both are used, --set values are merged into --values with higher precedence.
  • The helm get command is a useful tool for looking at a release in the cluster.
  • helm rollback
  • A release version is an incremental revision. Every time an install, upgrade, or rollback happens, the revision number is incremented by 1.
  • helm history
  • a release name cannot be re-used.
  • you can rollback a deleted resource, and have it re-activate.
  • helm repo list
  • helm repo add
  • helm repo update
  • The Chart Development Guide explains how to develop your own charts.
  • helm create
  • helm lint
  • helm package
  • Charts that are archived can be loaded into chart repositories.
  • chart repository server
  • Tiller can be installed into any namespace.
  • Limiting Tiller to only be able to install into specific namespaces and/or resource types is controlled by Kubernetes RBAC roles and rolebindings
  • Release names are unique PER TILLER INSTANCE
  • Charts should only contain resources that exist in a single namespace.
  • not recommended to have multiple Tillers configured to manage resources in the same namespace.
  • a client-side Helm plugin. A plugin is a tool that can be accessed through the helm CLI, but which is not part of the built-in Helm codebase.
  • Helm plugins are add-on tools that integrate seamlessly with Helm. They provide a way to extend the core feature set of Helm, but without requiring every new feature to be written in Go and added to the core tool.
  • Helm plugins live in $(helm home)/plugins
  • The Helm plugin model is partially modeled on Git’s plugin model
  • helm referred to as the porcelain layer, with plugins being the plumbing.
  • helm plugin install https://github.com/technosophos/helm-template
  • command is the command that this plugin will execute when it is called.
  • Environment variables are interpolated before the plugin is executed.
  • The command itself is not executed in a shell. So you can’t oneline a shell script.
  • Helm is able to fetch Charts using HTTP/S
  • Variables like KUBECONFIG are set for the plugin if they are set in the outer environment.
  • In Kubernetes, granting a role to an application-specific service account is a best practice to ensure that your application is operating in the scope that you have specified.
  • restrict Tiller’s capabilities to install resources to certain namespaces, or to grant a Helm client running access to a Tiller instance.
  • Service account with cluster-admin role
  • The cluster-admin role is created by default in a Kubernetes cluster
  • Deploy Tiller in a namespace, restricted to deploying resources only in that namespace
  • Deploy Tiller in a namespace, restricted to deploying resources in another namespace
  • When running a Helm client in a pod, in order for the Helm client to talk to a Tiller instance, it will need certain privileges to be granted.
  • SSL Between Helm and Tiller
  • The Tiller authentication model uses client-side SSL certificates.
  • creating an internal CA, and using both the cryptographic and identity functions of SSL.
  • Helm is a powerful and flexible package-management and operations tool for Kubernetes.
  • default installation applies no security configurations
  • with a cluster that is well-secured in a private network with no data-sharing or no other users or teams.
  • With great power comes great responsibility.
  • Choose the Best Practices you should apply to your helm installation
  • Role-based access control, or RBAC
  • Tiller’s gRPC endpoint and its usage by Helm
  • Kubernetes employ a role-based access control (or RBAC) system (as do modern operating systems) to help mitigate the damage that can be done if credentials are misused or bugs exist.
  • In the default installation the gRPC endpoint that Tiller offers is available inside the cluster (not external to the cluster) without authentication configuration applied.
  • Tiller stores its release information in ConfigMaps. We suggest changing the default to Secrets.
  • release information
  • charts
  • charts are a kind of package that not only installs containers you may or may not have validated yourself, but it may also install into more than one namespace.
  • As with all shared software, in a controlled or shared environment you must validate all software you install yourself before you install it.
  • Helm’s provenance tools to ensure the provenance and integrity of charts
