Repository map

• .pipelines: CI workflows using Azure pipelines.

• cmd/aro: RP entrypoint.

• deploy: ARM templates to deploy RP in development and production.

• docs: Documentation.

• hack: Build scripts and utilities.

• pkg: RP source code:

  • pkg/api: RP internal and external API definitions.

  • pkg/backend: RP backend workers.

  • pkg/bootstraplogging: Bootstrap logging configuration

  • pkg/client: Autogenerated ARO service Go client.

  • pkg/cluster: Cluster create/update/delete operations wrapper for OCP installer.

  • pkg/database: RP CosmosDB wrapper layer.

  • pkg/deploy: /deploy ARM template generation code.

  • pkg/env: RP environment-specific shims for running in production, development or test

  • pkg/frontend: RP frontend webserver.

  • pkg/metrics: Handles RP metrics via statsd.

  • pkg/mirror: OpenShift release mirror tooling.

  • pkg/monitor: Monitors running clusters.

  • pkg/operator/controllers: A list of controllers instantiated by the operator component.

    • alertwebhook: Ensures that the receiver endpoint defined in the alertmanager-main secret matches the webserver endpoint at aro-operator-master.openshift-azure-operator:8080, to avoid the AlertmanagerReceiversNotConfigured warning.

    • azurensg: Ensures that the Network Security Groups (NSGs) are correct, and updates the Azure Machine Provider spec with subnet, vnet, and Network Resource Group.

    • checker: Watches the Cluster resource for changes and updates conditions of the resource based on checks mentioned below

      • internetchecker: validate outbound internet connectivity to the nodes

      • serviceprincipalchecker: validate cluster service principal has the correct role/permissions

    • clusteroperatoraro: Ensures that the ARO cluster object is consistent and immutable

    • dnsmasq: Ensures that a dnsmasq systemd service is defined as a machineconfig for all nodes. The dnsmasq config contains records for azure load balancers such as api, api-int and *.apps domains so they will resolve even if custom DNS on the VNET is set.

    • genevalogging: Ensures all the Geneva logging resources in the openshift-azure-logging namespace matches the pre-defined specification found in pkg/operator/controllers/genevalogging/genevalogging.go.

    • machine: validate machine objects have the correct provider spec, vm type, vm image, disk size, three master nodes exist, and the number of worker nodes match the desired worker replicas

    • machineset: Ensures that a minimum of two worker replicas are met.

    • monitoring: Ensures that the OpenShift monitoring configuration in the openshift-monitoring namespace is consistent and immutable.

    • node: Force deletes pods when a node fails to drain for 1 hour. It should clear up any pods that refuse to be evicted on a drain due to violating a pod disruption budget.

    • pullsecret: Ensures that the ACR credentials in the openshift-config/pull-secret secret match those in the openshift/azure-operator/cluster secret.

    • rbac: Ensures that the aro-sre clusterrole and clusterrolebinding exist and are consistent.

    • routefix: Ensures all the routefix resources in the namespace openshift-azure-routefix remain on the cluster.

    • workaround: Applies a set of temporay workarounds to the ARO cluster.

  • pkg/portal: Portal for running promql queries against a cluster or requesting a kubeconfig for a cluster.

  • pkg/proxy: Proxy service for portal kubeconfig cluster access.

  • pkg/swagger: Swagger specification generation code.

  • pkg/util: Utility libraries.

• python: Autogenerated ARO service Python client and az aro client extension.

• swagger: Autogenerated ARO service Swagger specification.

• test: End-to-end tests.

• vendor: Vendored Go libraries.

Basic architecture

• pkg/frontend is intended to become a spec-compliant RP web server. It is backed by CosmosDB. Incoming PUT/DELETE requests are written to the database with an non-terminal (Updating/Deleting) provisioningState.

• pkg/backend reads documents with non-terminal provisioningStates, asynchronously updates them and finally updates document with a terminal provisioningState (Succeeded/Failed). The backend updates the document with a heartbeat - if this fails, the document will be picked up by a different worker.

• As CosmosDB does not support document patch, care is taken to correctly pass through any fields in the internal model which the reader is unaware of (see github.com/ugorji/go/codec.MissingFielder). This is intended to help in upgrade cases and (in the future) with multiple microservices reading from the database in parallel.

• Care is taken to correctly use optimistic concurrency to avoid document corruption through concurrent writes (see RetryOnPreconditionFailed).

• The pkg/api architecture differs somewhat from github.com/openshift/openshift-azure: the intention is to fix the broken merge semantics and try pushing validation into the versioned APIs to improve error reporting.

• Everything is intended to be crash/restart/upgrade-safe, horizontally scaleable, upgradeable...
