To enable direct access to this Portal from a +user's own environment (a laptop etc.) the portal application's port 8989 is +exposed through a `Kubernetes LoadBalancer`_ object. + +Typically, to be able to access the Kubernetes nodes publicly a public address +is assigned. In OpenStack this is a floating IP address. + +When the `portal-app` chart is deployed a Kubernetes service is created that +instantiates a load balancer. The LB chooses the private interface of one of +the nodes as in the example below (10.0.0.4 is private to the K8s cluster only). +Then to be able to access the portal on port 8989 from outside the K8s & +OpenStack environment, the user needs to assign/get the floating IP address that +corresponds to the private IP as follows:: + + > kubectl -n onap get services|grep "portal-app" + portal-app LoadBalancer 10.43.142.201 10.0.0.4 8989:30215/TCP,8006:30213/TCP,8010:30214/TCP 1d app=portal-app,release=dev + + +In this example, use the 10.0.0.4 private address as a key find the +corresponding public address which in this example is 10.12.6.155.

Such health monitors are often used as +inputs to distributed coordination systems (such as etcd, Zookeeper, or Consul) +and monitoring systems (such as Nagios or Zabbix). OOM provides two mechanisms +to monitor the real-time health of an ONAP deployment: + +- a Consul GUI for a human operator or downstream monitoring systems and + Kubernetes liveness probes that enable automatic healing of failed + containers, and +- a set of liveness probes which feed into the Kubernetes manager which + are described in the Heal section. + +Within ONAP, Consul is the monitoring system of choice and deployed by OOM in +two parts: + +- a three-way, centralized Consul server cluster is deployed as a highly + available monitor of all of the ONAP components, and +- a number of Consul agents. + +The Consul server provides a user interface that allows a user to graphically +view the current health status of all of the ONAP components for which agents +have been created - a sample from the ONAP Integration labs follows: + +.. figure:: consulHealth.png + :align: center + +To see the real-time health of a deployment go to: http://:30270/ui/ +where a GUI much like the following will be found: + + +.. figure:: oomLogoV2-Heal.png + :align: right + +Heal +==== + +The ONAP deployment is defined by Helm charts as mentioned earlier. These Helm +charts are also used to implement automatic recoverability of ONAP components +when individual components fail. Once ONAP is deployed, a "liveness" probe +starts checking the health of the components after a specified startup time. + +Should a liveness probe indicate a failed container it will be terminated and a +replacement will be started in its place - containers are ephemeral. Should the +deployment specification indicate that there are one or more dependencies to +this container or component (for example a dependency on a database) the +dependency will be satisfied before the replacement container/component is +started. This mechanism ensures that, after a failure, all of the ONAP +components restart successfully. + +To test healing, the following command can be used to delete a pod:: + + > kubectl delete pod [pod name] -n [pod namespace] + +One could then use the following command to monitor the pods and observe the +pod being terminated and the service being automatically healed with the +creation of a replacement pod:: + + > kubectl get pods --all-namespaces -o=wide + +.. figure:: oomLogoV2-Scale.png + :align: right + +Scale +===== + +Many of the ONAP components are horizontally scalable which allows them to +adapt to expected offered load. During the Beijing release scaling is static, +that is during deployment or upgrade a cluster size is defined and this cluster +will be maintained even in the presence of faults. The parameter that controls +the cluster size of a given component is found in the values.yaml file for that +component. Here is an excerpt that shows this parameter: + +.. code-block:: yaml + + # default number of instances + replicaCount: 1 + +In order to change the size of a cluster, an operator could use a helm upgrade +(described in detail in the next section) as follows:: + + > helm upgrade --set replicaCount=3 onap/so/mariadb + +The ONAP components use Kubernetes provided facilities to build clustered, +highly available systems including: Services_ with load-balancers, ReplicaSet_, +and StatefulSet_. Some of the open-source projects used by the ONAP components +directly support clustered configurations, for example ODL and MariaDB Galera. + +The Kubernetes Services_ abstraction to provide a consistent access point for +each of the ONAP components, independent of the pod or container architecture +of that component. For example, SDN-C uses OpenDaylight clustering with a +default cluster size of three but uses a Kubernetes service to and change the +number of pods in this abstract this cluster from the other ONAP components +such that the cluster could change size and this change is isolated from the +other ONAP components by the load-balancer implemented in the ODL service +abstraction. + +A ReplicaSet_ is a construct that is used to describe the desired state of the +cluster. For example 'replicas: 3' indicates to Kubernetes that a cluster of 3 +instances is the desired state. Should one of the members of the cluster fail, +a new member will be automatically started to replace it. + +Some of the ONAP components many need a more deterministic deployment; for +example to enable intra-cluster communication. For these applications the +component can be deployed as a Kubernetes StatefulSet_ which will maintain a +persistent identifier for the pods and thus a stable network id for the pods. +For example: the pod names might be web-0, web-1, web-{N-1} for N 'web' pods +with corresponding DNS entries such that intra service communication is simple +even if the pods are physically distributed across multiple nodes. An example +of how these capabilities can be used is described in the Running Consul on +Kubernetes tutorial. + +.. figure:: oomLogoV2-Upgrade.png + :align: right + +Upgrade +======= + +Helm has built-in capabilities to enable the upgrade of pods without causing a +loss of the service being provided by that pod or pods (if configured as a +cluster). As described in the OOM Developer's Guide, ONAP components provide +an abstracted 'service' end point with the pods or containers providing this +service hidden from other ONAP components by a load balancer. This capability +is used during upgrades to allow a pod with a new image to be added to the +service before removing the pod with the old image. This 'make before break' +capability ensures minimal downtime. + +Prior to doing an upgrade, determine of the status of the deployed charts:: + + > helm list + NAME REVISION UPDATED STATUS CHART NAMESPACE + so 1 Mon Feb 5 10:05:22 2018 DEPLOYED so-2.0.1 default + +When upgrading a cluster a parameter controls the minimum size of the cluster +during the upgrade while another parameter controls the maximum number of nodes +in the cluster. For example, SNDC configured as a 3-way ODL cluster might +require that during the upgrade no fewer than 2 pods are available at all times +to provide service while no more than 5 pods are ever deployed across the two +versions at any one time to avoid depleting the cluster of resources. In this +scenario, the SDNC cluster would start with 3 old pods then Kubernetes may add +a new pod (3 old, 1 new), delete one old (2 old, 1 new), add two new pods (2 +old, 3 new) and finally delete the 2 old pods (3 new). During this sequence +the constraints of the minimum of two pods and maximum of five would be +maintained while providing service the whole time. + +Initiation of an upgrade is triggered by changes in the Helm charts. For +example, if the image specified for one of the pods in the SDNC deployment +specification were to change (i.e. point to a new Docker image in the nexus3 +repository - commonly through the change of a deployment variable), the +sequence of events described in the previous paragraph would be initiated. + +For example, to upgrade a container by changing configuration, specifically an +environment value:: + + > helm deploy onap onap/so --version 2.0.1 --set enableDebug=true + +Issuing this command will result in the appropriate container being stopped by +Kubernetes and replaced with a new container with the new environment value. + +To upgrade a component to a new version with a new configuration file enter:: + + > helm deploy onap onap/so --version 2.0.2 -f environments/demo.yaml + +To fetch release history enter:: + + > helm history so + REVISION UPDATED STATUS CHART DESCRIPTION + 1 Mon Feb 5 10:05:22 2018 SUPERSEDED so-2.0.1 Install complete + 2 Mon Feb 5 10:10:55 2018 DEPLOYED so-2.0.2 Upgrade complete + +Unfortunately, not all upgrades are successful.

The schemas of these databases may +change from version to version in such a way that data stored within the +database needs to be migrated between versions. If such a migration script is +available it can be invoked during the upgrade (or rollback) by Container +Lifecycle Hooks. Two such hooks are available, PostStart and PreStop, which +containers can access by registering a handler against one or both. Note that +it is the responsibility of the ONAP component owners to implement the hook +handlers - which could be a shell script or a call to a specific container HTTP +endpoint - following the guidelines listed on the Kubernetes site. Lifecycle +hooks are not restricted to database migration or even upgrades but can be used +anywhere specific operations need to be taken during lifecycle operations. + +OOM uses Helm K8S package manager to deploy ONAP components. Each component is +arranged in a packaging format called a chart - a collection of files that +describe a set of k8s resources. Helm allows for rolling upgrades of the ONAP +component deployed. To upgrade a component Helm release you will need an +updated Helm chart. The chart might have modified, deleted or added values, +deployment yamls, and more.
