(c) Authors of Clover + +.. _controller_services_config_guide: + +============================================== +Clover Controller Services Configuration Guide +============================================== + +This document provides a guide to use the Clover controller services, which are introduced in +the Clover Gambia release. + +Overview +========= + +Clover controller services allow users to control and access information about Clover +microservices. Two new components are added to Clover to facilitate an ephemeral, cloud native +workflow. A CLI interface with the name **cloverctl** interfaces to the Kubernetes (k8s) +API and also to **clover-controller**, a microservice deployed within the k8s cluster to +instrument other Clover k8s services including sample network services, visibility/validation +services and supporting datastores (redis, cassandra). The **clover-controller** service +provides message routing communicating REST with cloverctl or other API/UI interfaces and +gRPC to internal k8s cluster microservices. It acts as an internal agent and reduces the need +to expose multiple Clover services outside of a k8s cluster. + +The **clover-controller** is packaged as a docker container with manifests to deploy +in a Kubernetes (k8s) cluster. The **cloverctl** CLI is packaged as a binary (Golang) within a +tarball with associated yaml files that can be used to configure and control other Clover +microservices within the k8s cluster via **clover-controller**. The **cloverctl** CLI can also +deploy/delete other Clover services within the k8s cluster for convenience. + +The **clover-controller** service provides the following functions: + + * **REST API:** interface allows CI scripts/automation to control sample network sample services, + visibility and validation services. Analyzed visibility data can be consumed by other + services with REST messaging. + + * **CLI Endpoint:** acts as an endpoint for many **cloverctl** CLI commands using the + **clover-controller** REST API and relays messages to other services via gRPC. + + * **UI Dashboard:** provides a web interface exposing visibility views to interact with + Clover visibility services. It presents analyzed visibility data and provides basic controls + such as selecting which user services visibility will track. + +.. image:: imgs/controller_services.png + :align: center + :scale: 100% + +The **cloverctl** CLI command syntax is similar to k8s kubectl or istio istioctl CLI tools, using +a <verb> <noun> convention. + +Help can be accessed using the ``--help`` option, as shown below:: + + $ cloverctl --help + +Deploying Clover system services +================================ + +Prerequisites +------------- + +The following assumptions must be met before continuing on to deployment: + + * Installation of Docker has already been performed.

To modify this, edit the yaml relative +to the **cloverctl** path at ``yaml/controller/service_nodeport.yaml`` before invoking +the command above. Delete the ``nodePort:`` key in the yaml to let k8s select an +available port within the the range 30000-32767. + +Using LoadBalancer +------------------ + +For k8s clusters that support a LoadBalancer service, such as GKE, one can be created for +**clover-controller** with the following command:: + + $ cloverctl create system controller lb + +Setup with cloverctl CLI +------------------------ + +The **cloverctl** CLI will communicate with **clover-controller** on the service exposed above +and requires the IP address of either the load balancer or a cluster node IP address, if a +NodePort service is used. For a LoadBalancer service, **cloverctl** will automatically find +the IP address to use and no further action is required. + +However, if a NodePort service is used, an additional step is required to configure the IP +address for **cloverctl** to target. This may be the CNI (ex. flannel/weave) IP address or the IP +address of an k8s node interface. The **cloverctl** CLI will automatically determine the +NodePort port number configured. To configure the IP address, create a file named +``.cloverctl.yaml`` and add a single line to the yaml file with the following:: + + ControllerIP: <IP addresss> + +This file must be located in your ``HOME`` directory or in the same directory as the **cloverctl** +binary. + +Uninstall from Kubernetes environment +===================================== + +Delete with Clover CLI +----------------------- + +When you're finished working with Clover system services, you can uninstall it with the +following command: + +.. code-block:: bash + + $ cloverctl delete system controller + $ cloverctl delete system controller nodeport # for NodePort + $ cloverctl delete system controller lb # for LoadBalancer + + +The commands above will remove the clover-controller deployment and service resources +created from the current k8s context. + +Uninstall from Docker environment +================================= + +The OPNFV docker image for the **clover-controller** can be removed with the following commands +from nodes in the k8s cluster. + +.. code-block:: bash + + $ docker rmi opnfv/clover-controller diff --git a/docs/release/configguide/index.rst b/docs/release/configguide/index.rst index daf8986..41c1eca 100644 --- a/docs/release/configguide/index.rst +++ b/docs/release/configguide/index.rst @@ -3,14 +3,20 @@ .. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 ..

Its +functionality has been integrated into the Clover project to allow various CI validations +and performance tests to be performed. The system under test can either be REST services/APIs +directly or a set of L7 network services. In the latter scenario, Clover nginx servers may +be employed as an endpoint to allow traffic to be sent end-to-end across a service chain. + +The Clover JMeter integration is packaged as docker containers with manifests to deploy +in a Kubernetes (k8s) cluster. The Clover CLI (**cloverctl**) can be used to configure and +control the JMeter service within the k8s cluster via **clover-controller**. + +The Clover JMeter integration has the following attributes: + + * **Master/Slave Architecture:** uses the native master/slave implementation of JMeter. The master + and slaves have distinct OPNFV docker containers for rapid deployment and usage. Slaves allow + the scale of the emulation to be increased linearly for performance testing. However, for + functional validations and modest scale, the master may be employed without any slaves. + + * **Test Creation & Control:** JMeter makes use of a rich XML-based test plan. While this offers + a plethora of configurable options, it can be daunting for a beginner user to edit directly. + Clover provides an abstracted yaml syntax exposing a subset of the available configuration + parameters. JMeter test plans are generated on the master and tests can be started from + **cloverctl** CLI. + + * **Result Collection:** summary log results and detailed per-request results can be retrieved + from the JMeter master during and after tests from the **cloverctl** or from a REST API exposed + via **clover-controller**. + +.. image:: imgs/jmeter_overview.png + :align: center + :scale: 100% + +Deploying Clover JMeter service +=============================== + +Prerequisites +------------- + +The following assumptions must be met before continuing on to deployment: + + * Installation of Docker has already been performed.

Deployments and respective services will be created with three slave +replica pods added with the **clover-jmeter-slave** prefix. A single master pod will be +created with the **clover-jmeter-master** prefix. + +Deploy from source +------------------ + +To continue to deploy from the source code, clone the Clover git repository and navigate +within to the directory, as shown below: + +.. code-block:: bash + + $ git clone https://gerrit.opnfv.org/gerrit/clover + $ cd clover/clover/tools/jmeter/yaml + $ git checkout stable/gambia + +To deploy the master use the following two commands, which will create a manifest with +the Gambia release tags and creates the deployment in the k8s cluster:: + + $ python render_master.py --image_tag=opnfv-7.0.0 --image_path=opnfv + $ kubectl create -f clover-jmeter-master.yaml + +JMeter can be injected into an Istio service mesh.

GET, POST). The ``user-agent`` parameter allows this + HTTP header to be specified per request and can be used to emulate browsers and devices. + +The ``url`` syntax is <domain or IP>:<port #>. The colon port number may be omitted if port 80 +is intended. + +The test plan yaml is an abstraction of the JMeter XML syntax (uses .jmx extension) and can be +pushed to the master using the **cloverctl** CLI with the following command: + +.. code-block:: bash + + $ cloverctl create testplan –f jmeter_testplan.yaml + +The test plan can now be executed and will automatically be distributed to available JMeter slaves. + +Starting the test +----------------- + +Once a test plan has been created on the JMeter master, a test can be started for the test plan +with the following command: + +.. code-block:: bash + + $ cloverctl start testplan + +The test will be executed from the **clover-jmeter-master** pod, whereby HTTP requests will +originate directly from the master. The number of aggregate threads/users and request rates +can be scaled by increasing the thread count or decreasing the ramp time respectively in the +test plan yaml. However, the scale of the test can also be controlled by adding slaves to the +test. When slaves are employed, the master will only be used to control slaves and will not be +a source of traffic. Each slave pod will execute the test plan in its entirety. + +To execute tests using slaves, add the flag '-s' to the start command from the Clover CLI as shown +below: + +.. code-block:: bash + + $ cloverctl start testplan –s <slave count> + +The **clover-jmeter-slave** pods must be deployed in advance before executing the above command. If +the steps outlined in section `Deploy with Clover CLI`_ have been followed, three slaves will +have already been deployed. + +Retrieving Results +------------------ + +Results for the test can be obtained by executing the following command: + +.. code-block:: bash + + $ cloverctl get testresult + $ cloverctl get testresult log + +The bottom of the log will display a summary of the test results, as shown below:: + + 3 in 00:00:00 = 111.1/s Avg: 7 Min: 6 Max: 8 Err: 0 (0.00%) + 20 in 00:00:48 = 0.4/s Avg: 10 Min: 6 Max: 31 Err: 0 (0.00%) + +Each row of the summary table is a snapshot in time with the final numbers in the last row. +In this example, 20 requests (5 users/threads x 2 URLs) x loops) were sent successfully +with no HTTP responses with invalid/error (4xx/5xx) status codes.
