Install

1. Install the following:

   • go 1.12 or later
   • az client

2. Log in to Azure:

   az login
   

3. You will need a publicly resolvable DNS zone resource in Azure. For RH ARO engineering, this is the osadev.cloud zone in the dns resource group.

4. You will need an AAD application with:

   • client certificate and (for now) client secret authentication enabled
   • (for now) User Access Administrator role granted on the subscription
   • (for now) Azure Active Directory Graph / Application.ReadWrite.OwnedBy privileges granted

   For RH ARO engineering, this is the aro-team-shared AAD application. You will need the client ID, client secret, and a key/certificate file (aro-team-shared.pem) that can be loaded into your key vault. Ask if you do not have these.

   For non-RH ARO engineering, a suitable key/certificate file can be generated using the following helper utility:

   # Non-RH ARO engineering only
   go run ./hack/genkey -extKeyUsage client "$AZURE_CLIENT_ID"
   

5. Copy env.example to env, edit the values and source the env file. This file holds (only) the environment variables necessary for the RP to run.

   • AZURE_TENANT_ID: Azure tenant UUID

   • AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID: Azure subscription UUID

   • AZURE_CLIENT_ID: Azure AD application client UUID

   • AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET: Azure AD application client secret

   • LOCATION: Azure location where RP and cluster(s) will run (default: eastus)

   • RESOURCEGROUP: Name of a new resource group which will contain the RP resources

   • PULL_SECRET: A cluster pull secret retrieved from Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager

   • RP_MODE: Set to development when not in production.

   cp env.example env
   vi env
   . ./env
   

6. Choose the RP deployment parameters:

   • COSMOSDB_ACCOUNT: Name of a new CosmosDB account
   • DOMAIN: DNS subdomain shared by all clusters (RH: $something.osadev.cloud)
   • KEYVAULT_NAME: Name of a new key vault
   • ADMIN_OBJECT_ID: AAD object ID for key vault admin(s) (RH: az ad group list --query "[?displayName=='Engineering'].objectId" -o tsv)
   • RP_OBJECT_ID: AAD object ID for AAD application (RH: az ad app list --all --query "[?appId=='$AZURE_CLIENT_ID'].objectId" -o tsv)

7. Create the resource group and deploy the RP resources:

   COSMOSDB_ACCOUNT=mycosmosdb
   DOMAIN=mydomain.osadev.cloud
   KEYVAULT_NAME=mykeyvault
   ADMIN_OBJECT_ID=$(az ad group list --query "[?displayName=='Engineering'].objectId" -o tsv)
   RP_OBJECT_ID=$(az ad app list --all --query "[?appId=='$AZURE_CLIENT_ID'].objectId" -o tsv)
   
   az group create -g "$RESOURCEGROUP" -l "$LOCATION"
   
   az group deployment create -g "$RESOURCEGROUP" --mode complete --template-file deploy/rp.json --parameters "location=$LOCATION" "databaseAccountName=$COSMOSDB_ACCOUNT" "domainName=$DOMAIN" "keyvaultName=$KEYVAULT_NAME" "adminObjectId=$ADMIN_OBJECT_ID" "rpObjectId=$RP_OBJECT_ID"
   

8. Load the application key/certificate into the key vault:

   AZURE_KEY_FILE=aro-team-shared.pem
   
   az keyvault certificate import --vault-name "$KEYVAULT_NAME" --name azure --file "$AZURE_KEY_FILE"
   

9. Generate a self-signed serving key/certificate and load it into the key vault:

   TLS_KEY_FILE=localhost.pem
   go run ./hack/genkey localhost
   az keyvault certificate import --vault-name "$KEYVAULT_NAME" --name tls --file "$TLS_KEY_FILE"
   

10. Create a glue record in the parent DNS zone:

    PARENT_DNS_RESOURCEGROUP=dns
    
    az network dns record-set ns create --resource-group "$PARENT_DNS_RESOURCEGROUP" --zone "$(cut -d. -f2- <<<"$DOMAIN")" --name "$(cut -d. -f1 <<<"$DOMAIN")"
    
    for ns in $(az network dns zone show --resource-group "$RESOURCEGROUP" --name "$DOMAIN" --query nameServers -o tsv); do az network dns record-set ns add-record --resource-group "$PARENT_DNS_RESOURCEGROUP" --zone "$(cut -d. -f2- <<<"$DOMAIN")" --record-set-name "$(cut -d. -f1 <<<"$DOMAIN")" --nsdname $ns; done
    

Running the RP

go run ./cmd/rp

Useful commands

export CLUSTER=cluster

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...

Debugging

• Get an admin kubeconfig:

  hack/get-admin-kubeconfig.sh /subscriptions/$AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID/resourceGroups/$CLUSTER/providers/Microsoft.RedHatOpenShift/openShiftClusters/$CLUSTER
  export KUBECONFIG=admin.kubeconfig
  oc version
  

• SSH to the bootstrap node:

  hack/ssh-bootstrap.sh /subscriptions/$AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID/resourceGroups/$CLUSTER/providers/Microsoft.RedHatOpenShift/openShiftClusters/$CLUSTER
