****************
KUD Architecture
****************

This document explains the different components of the Kubernetes
Reference Deployment project and how they can be configured to modify
its default behaviour.

Vagrantfile
###########

This file describes how the Virtual Machines are going to be
configured and the scripts and arguments used during their
provisioning process. This file uses *elastic/ubuntu-16.04-x86_64*
vagrant box for VirtualBox and Libvirt providers.

config/
#######

This folder contains the POD Descriptor File (PDF) which is used
by Vagrant during the provisioning process. The *samples* folder
contains examples for some setups (All-in-One, Mini, NoHA, HA, etc.)
that can be used.

This list contains the valid entries used by Vagrant to define the virtual
resources used by Vagrant during the creation of the Virtual Machines:

    * ip - The static IP address assigned to the VM. (String value)
    * memory - The amount of memory RAM. (KB - Integer value)
    * cpus - Number of CPUs. (Integer value)
    * volumes - List of volumes to be formatted and mounted to the VM.

config/default.yml
******************

If there is no *pdf.yml* file present in *config* folder, Vagrant will
use the information specified in the **config/default.yml**. The following
diagram displays how the services are installed in the nodes using the
default configuration.

.. image:: ./img/default_pdf.png

docs/
#####

This folder contains documentation files using reStructuredText
(RST) syntax. It's possible to generate documentation in  *html*
format using `python tox module <https://tox.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`_
. Once this is installed, it's possible to build html files using
this following command:

.. code-block:: bash

    tox -e docs

After its execution, the **docs/build** subfolder will contain
subfolders and html files that can be opened from any web browser.

galaxy-requirements.yml
#######################

This file contains third party Ansible roles. Only those tasks which
are not related with the main installation process have been placed in
this file.

installer.sh
############

Main bash script that installs dependencies and executes ansible
playbooks for provisioning KUD components on external nodes.

inventory/
##########

This folder contains the Ansible host inventory file. The
**inventory/host.ini** file, which is used during the execution of
Ansible playbooks, is created by Vagrant using the values specified
in the *config/pdf.yml* file (or *config/default.yml*).

inventory/group_vars/k8s-cluster.yml
************************************

A preferred practice in Ansible is to not store variables in the
main inventory file. The configuration variables required for
`Kubespray <https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/kubespray>`_ are
stored in this file.

node.sh
#######

This bash script is executed in every node after this has been
provisioned. The script provides the possibility to partition and
mount external volumes.

playbooks/
##########

This folder contains a set of Ansible playbooks which perform the
tasks required for configuring services like Multus, Virtlet and/or
OVN.

playbooks/configure-kud.yml
***************************

This ansible playbook collects the common actions among all the
Kubernetes AddOns offered by the KUD.

playbooks/kud-vars.yml
************************

This file centralizes the version numbers and source URLs used for
different components offered by the KUD. Bumping a version requires
extensive testing to ensure compatibility.

setup.sh
########

This bash script is used for the installation and configuration of
dependencies required for the usage of the KUD via Virtual Machines.
Some of this dependencies are:

  - `Vagrant <https://www.vagrantup.com/>`_,
  - `Libvirt <https://libvirt.org/>`_ or `VirtualBox <https://www.virtualbox.org/>`_

The *-p* argument determines the Virtualization provider to be used
and installed in the host machine.

.. code-block:: bash

    sudo ./setup.sh -p libvirt

Vagrant uses VirtualBox as default Virtualization provider. It's
possible to modify this behavior using the global enviroment variable
named **VAGRANT_DEFAULT_PROVIDER**.

.. note::  The execution of this script is recommended only during the initial setup.

tests/
######

This folder contains the health check scripts that guarantee the
proper installation/configuration of Kubernetes AddOns. Its
execution is disabled by default. In order to enable it, it's
necessary to export KUD_ENABLE_TESTS=true environment variable before calling the **installer.sh** bash
script, usually through changing the arguments in the *Vagrantfile*.
