Sylvain Desbureaux557628a2021-03-24 14:59:16 +010018OOM User Guide helm3 (experimental)
19###################################
Roger Maitland953b5f12018-03-22 15:24:04 -040020
21The ONAP Operations Manager (OOM) provide the ability to manage the entire
22life-cycle of an ONAP installation, from the initial deployment to final
23decommissioning. This guide provides instructions for users of ONAP to
24use the Kubernetes_/Helm_ system as a complete ONAP management system.
25
26This guide provides many examples of Helm command line operations. For a
27complete description of these commands please refer to the `Helm
28Documentation`_.

32
33The following sections describe the life-cycle operations:
34
35- Deploy_ - with built-in component dependency management
36- Configure_ - unified configuration across all ONAP components
37- Monitor_ - real-time health monitoring feeding to a Consul UI and Kubernetes
38- Heal_- failed ONAP containers are recreated automatically
39- Scale_ - cluster ONAP services to enable seamless scaling
Eric Debeau993b77b2020-08-19 15:30:00 +020040- Upgrade_ - change-out containers or configuration with little or no service
41 impact
Roger Maitland953b5f12018-03-22 15:24:04 -040042- Delete_ - cleanup individual containers or entire deployments

50The OOM team with assistance from the ONAP project teams, have built a
51comprehensive set of Helm charts, yaml files very similar to TOSCA files, that
52describe the composition of each of the ONAP components and the relationship
53within and between components. Using this model Helm is able to deploy all of
Roger Maitlandbb8adda2018-04-05 16:18:11 -040054ONAP with a few simple commands.
55
56Pre-requisites
57--------------
Piotr Marcinkiewicz2ca8a472021-04-29 13:29:02 +020058Your environment must have the Kubernetes `kubectl` with Cert-Manager
59and Helm setup as a one time activity.
Roger Maitlandbb8adda2018-04-05 16:18:11 -040060
61Install Kubectl
62~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sylvain Desbureaux983c7552019-01-28 13:59:43 +010063Enter the following to install kubectl (on Ubuntu, there are slight differences
64on other O/Ss), the Kubernetes command line interface used to manage a
65Kubernetes cluster::
Roger Maitlandbb8adda2018-04-05 16:18:11 -040066
ramagp060a51c2020-10-29 04:24:16 +000067 > curl -LO https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/v1.15.11/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl
Roger Maitlandbb8adda2018-04-05 16:18:11 -040068 > chmod +x ./kubectl
69 > sudo mv ./kubectl /usr/local/bin/kubectl
70 > mkdir ~/.kube
71
Sylvain Desbureaux983c7552019-01-28 13:59:43 +010072Paste kubectl config from Rancher (see the :ref:`cloud-setup-guide-label` for
73alternative Kubernetes environment setups) into the `~/.kube/config` file.
Roger Maitlandbb8adda2018-04-05 16:18:11 -040074
75Verify that the Kubernetes config is correct::
76
77 > kubectl get pods --all-namespaces
78
ramagp060a51c2020-10-29 04:24:16 +000079At this point you should see Kubernetes pods running.
Roger Maitlandbb8adda2018-04-05 16:18:11 -040080
Piotr Marcinkiewicz2ca8a472021-04-29 13:29:02 +020081Install Cert-Manager
82~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
83Details on how to install Cert-Manager can be found
84:doc:`here <oom_setup_paas>`.
85
Roger Maitlandbb8adda2018-04-05 16:18:11 -040086Install Helm
87~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sylvain Desbureaux983c7552019-01-28 13:59:43 +010088Helm is used by OOM for package and configuration management. To install Helm,
89enter the following::
Roger Maitlandbb8adda2018-04-05 16:18:11 -040090
Sylvain Desbureaux557628a2021-03-24 14:59:16 +010091 > wget https://get.helm.sh/helm-v3.5.2-linux-amd64.tar.gz
92 > tar -zxvf helm-v3.5.2-linux-amd64.tar.gz
Roger Maitlandbb8adda2018-04-05 16:18:11 -040093 > sudo mv linux-amd64/helm /usr/local/bin/helm
94
95Verify the Helm version with::
96
97 > helm version
98
Roger Maitlandbb8adda2018-04-05 16:18:11 -040099Install the Helm Repo
100---------------------
Sylvain Desbureaux983c7552019-01-28 13:59:43 +0100101Once kubectl and Helm are setup, one needs to setup a local Helm server to
102server up the ONAP charts::
Roger Maitland953b5f12018-03-22 15:24:04 -0400103
104 > helm install osn/onap
105
106.. note::
107 The osn repo is not currently available so creation of a local repository is
108 required.
109
110Helm is able to use charts served up from a repository and comes setup with a
111default CNCF provided `Curated applications for Kubernetes`_ repository called
112stable which should be removed to avoid confusion::
113
114 > helm repo remove stable
115
116.. To setup the Open Source Networking Nexus repository for helm enter::
117.. > helm repo add osn 'https://nexus3.onap.org:10001/helm/helm-repo-in-nexus/master/'
118
119To prepare your system for an installation of ONAP, you'll need to::
120
Sylvain Desbureaux557628a2021-03-24 14:59:16 +0100121 > git clone -b guilin --recurse-submodules -j2 http://gerrit.onap.org/r/oom
Roger Maitlandbb8adda2018-04-05 16:18:11 -0400122 > cd oom/kubernetes
123
Roger Maitland953b5f12018-03-22 15:24:04 -0400124
Sylvain Desbureaux557628a2021-03-24 14:59:16 +0100125To install a local Helm server::
126
127 > curl -LO https://s3.amazonaws.com/chartmuseum/release/latest/bin/linux/amd64/chartmuseum
128 > chmod +x ./chartmuseum
129 > mv ./chartmuseum /usr/local/bin
130
Roger Maitland953b5f12018-03-22 15:24:04 -0400131To setup a local Helm server to server up the ONAP charts::
132
Sylvain Desbureaux557628a2021-03-24 14:59:16 +0100133 > mkdir -p ~/helm3-storage
134 > chartmuseum --storage local --storage-local-rootdir ~/helm3-storage -port 8879 &
Roger Maitland953b5f12018-03-22 15:24:04 -0400135
Sylvain Desbureaux983c7552019-01-28 13:59:43 +0100136Note the port number that is listed and use it in the Helm repo add as
137follows::
Roger Maitland953b5f12018-03-22 15:24:04 -0400138
139 > helm repo add local http://127.0.0.1:8879
140
141To get a list of all of the available Helm chart repositories::
142
143 > helm repo list
144 NAME URL
145 local http://127.0.0.1:8879
146
Roger Maitland9e5067c2018-03-27 10:57:08 -0400147Then build your local Helm repository::
148
Jakub Latusekdb52a6d2020-10-15 15:02:47 +0200149 > make SKIP_LINT=TRUE [HELM_BIN=<HELM_PATH>] all
150
151`HELM_BIN`
Sylvain Desbureaux557628a2021-03-24 14:59:16 +0100152 Sets the helm binary to be used. The default value use helm from PATH
Roger Maitland9e5067c2018-03-27 10:57:08 -0400153
Roger Maitland953b5f12018-03-22 15:24:04 -0400154The Helm search command reads through all of the repositories configured on the
155system, and looks for matches::
156
Sylvain Desbureaux557628a2021-03-24 14:59:16 +0100157 > helm search repo local
Roger Maitland953b5f12018-03-22 15:24:04 -0400158 NAME VERSION DESCRIPTION
Sylvain Desbureaux557628a2021-03-24 14:59:16 +0100159 local/appc 2.0.0 Application Controller
160 local/clamp 2.0.0 ONAP Clamp
161 local/common 2.0.0 Common templates for inclusion in other charts
162 local/onap 2.0.0 Open Network Automation Platform (ONAP)
163 local/robot 2.0.0 A helm Chart for kubernetes-ONAP Robot
164 local/so 2.0.0 ONAP Service Orchestrator
Roger Maitland953b5f12018-03-22 15:24:04 -0400165
166In any case, setup of the Helm repository is a one time activity.
167
ramagp060a51c2020-10-29 04:24:16 +0000168Next, install Helm Plugins required to deploy the ONAP release::
Pawel Wieczorek1d4b96f2019-01-23 16:46:56 +0100169
Sylvain Desbureaux557628a2021-03-24 14:59:16 +0100170 > cp -R ~/oom/kubernetes/helm/plugins/ ~/.local/share/helm/plugins
Pawel Wieczorek1d4b96f2019-01-23 16:46:56 +0100171
Sylvain Desbureaux983c7552019-01-28 13:59:43 +0100172Once the repo is setup, installation of ONAP can be done with a single
173command::
Roger Maitland953b5f12018-03-22 15:24:04 -0400174
ramagp060a51c2020-10-29 04:24:16 +0000175 > helm deploy development local/onap --namespace onap --set global.masterPassword=password
Roger Maitland953b5f12018-03-22 15:24:04 -0400176
177This will install ONAP from a local repository in a 'development' Helm release.
178As described below, to override the default configuration values provided by
179OOM, an environment file can be provided on the command line as follows::
180
ramagp060a51c2020-10-29 04:24:16 +0000181
182
183 > helm deploy development local/onap --namespace onap -f overrides.yaml --set global.masterPassword=password
184
185.. note::
186 Refer the Configure_ section on how to update overrides.yaml and values.yaml
Roger Maitland953b5f12018-03-22 15:24:04 -0400187
188To get a summary of the status of all of the pods (containers) running in your
189deployment::
190
ramagp060a51c2020-10-29 04:24:16 +0000191 > kubectl get pods --namespace onap -o=wide
Roger Maitland953b5f12018-03-22 15:24:04 -0400192
193.. note::
194 The Kubernetes namespace concept allows for multiple instances of a component
195 (such as all of ONAP) to co-exist with other components in the same
196 Kubernetes cluster by isolating them entirely. Namespaces share only the
197 hosts that form the cluster thus providing isolation between production and
ramagp060a51c2020-10-29 04:24:16 +0000198 development systems as an example.
Roger Maitland953b5f12018-03-22 15:24:04 -0400199
200.. note::
Roger Maitlandd96413f2018-04-09 10:06:07 -0400201 The Helm `--name` option refers to a release name and not a Kubernetes namespace.
Roger Maitland953b5f12018-03-22 15:24:04 -0400202
203
204To install a specific version of a single ONAP component (`so` in this example)
Pawel Wieczorek1d4b96f2019-01-23 16:46:56 +0100205with the given release name enter::
Roger Maitland953b5f12018-03-22 15:24:04 -0400206
ramagp060a51c2020-10-29 04:24:16 +0000207 > helm deploy so onap/so --version 8.0.0 --set global.masterPassword=password --set global.flavor=unlimited --namespace onap
208
209.. note::
210 The dependent components should be installed for component being installed
211
Roger Maitland953b5f12018-03-22 15:24:04 -0400212
213To display details of a specific resource or group of resources type::
214
215 > kubectl describe pod so-1071802958-6twbl
216
217where the pod identifier refers to the auto-generated pod identifier.

222Configure
223=========
224
225Each project within ONAP has its own configuration data generally consisting
226of: environment variables, configuration files, and database initial values.
227Many technologies are used across the projects resulting in significant
228operational complexity and an inability to apply global parameters across the
229entire ONAP deployment. OOM solves this problem by introducing a common
230configuration technology, Helm charts, that provide a hierarchical
Gildas Lanilis64d17ae2018-05-18 16:58:05 -0700231configuration with the ability to override values with higher
Roger Maitland953b5f12018-03-22 15:24:04 -0400232level charts or command line options.
233
234The structure of the configuration of ONAP is shown in the following diagram.
235Note that key/value pairs of a parent will always take precedence over those
236of a child. Also note that values set on the command line have the highest
237precedence of all.
238

247 oReq [label="requirements.yaml"]
248 soValues [label="values.yaml"]

262 so -> soValues
263 so -> soReq
264 so -> charts
265 charts -> mariadb
266 mariadb -> mdValues
267
268 }
269
270The top level onap/values.yaml file contains the values required to be set
271before deploying ONAP. Here is the contents of this file:
272
Pawel Wieczoreka1903d62019-11-14 14:19:59 +0100273.. include:: ../kubernetes/onap/values.yaml
Roger Maitland953b5f12018-03-22 15:24:04 -0400274 :code: yaml
275
276One may wish to create a value file that is specific to a given deployment such
277that it can be differentiated from other deployments. For example, a
278onap-development.yaml file may create a minimal environment for development
279while onap-production.yaml might describe a production deployment that operates
280independently of the developer version.
281
282For example, if the production OpenStack instance was different from a
283developer's instance, the onap-production.yaml file may contain a different
284value for the vnfDeployment/openstack/oam_network_cidr key as shown below.

315To deploy ONAP with this environment file, enter::
316
ramagp060a51c2020-10-29 04:24:16 +0000317 > helm deploy local/onap -n onap -f onap/resources/environments/onap-production.yaml --set global.masterPassword=password

320 :code: yaml
321
322When deploying all of ONAP a requirements.yaml file control which and what
323version of the ONAP components are included. Here is an excerpt of this
324file:
325
326.. code-block:: yaml

328 # Referencing a named repo called 'local'.

ramagp060a51c2020-10-29 04:24:16 +0000335 version: ~8.0.0
Roger Maitland953b5f12018-03-22 15:24:04 -0400336 repository: '@local'
337 condition: so.enabled
338 <...>
339
ramagp060a51c2020-10-29 04:24:16 +0000340The ~ operator in the `so` version value indicates that the latest "8.X.X"
Roger Maitland953b5f12018-03-22 15:24:04 -0400341version of `so` shall be used thus allowing the chart to allow for minor
ramagp060a51c2020-10-29 04:24:16 +0000342upgrades that don't impact the so API; hence, version 8.0.1 will be installed
Roger Maitland953b5f12018-03-22 15:24:04 -0400343in this case.
344
ramagp060a51c2020-10-29 04:24:16 +0000345The onap/resources/environment/dev.yaml (see the excerpt below) enables
Roger Maitland953b5f12018-03-22 15:24:04 -0400346for fine grained control on what components are included as part of this
347deployment. By changing this `so` line to `enabled: false` the `so` component
348will not be deployed. If this change is part of an upgrade the existing `so`
349component will be shut down. Other `so` parameters and even `so` child values
350can be modified, for example the `so`'s `liveness` probe could be disabled
351(which is not recommended as this change would disable auto-healing of `so`).

384------------------------------------------------------------
385
386The ONAP deployment created by OOM operates in a private IP network that isn't
Eric Debeau993b77b2020-08-19 15:30:00 +0200387publicly accessible (i.e. OpenStack VMs with private internal network) which

389user's own environment (a laptop etc.) the portal application's port 8989 is
390exposed through a `Kubernetes LoadBalancer`_ object.
391
Sylvain Desbureaux983c7552019-01-28 13:59:43 +0100392Typically, to be able to access the Kubernetes nodes publicly a public address
Eric Debeau993b77b2020-08-19 15:30:00 +0200393is assigned. In OpenStack this is a floating IP address.
Roger Maitlandda221582018-05-10 13:43:58 -0400394
395When the `portal-app` chart is deployed a Kubernetes service is created that
396instantiates a load balancer. The LB chooses the private interface of one of
397the nodes as in the example below (10.0.0.4 is private to the K8s cluster only).
398Then to be able to access the portal on port 8989 from outside the K8s &
Eric Debeau993b77b2020-08-19 15:30:00 +0200399OpenStack environment, the user needs to assign/get the floating IP address that
Roger Maitlandda221582018-05-10 13:43:58 -0400400corresponds to the private IP as follows::
401
402 > kubectl -n onap get services|grep "portal-app"
403 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
404
405
406In this example, use the 10.0.0.4 private address as a key find the
407corresponding public address which in this example is 10.12.6.155. If you're
Eric Debeau993b77b2020-08-19 15:30:00 +0200408using OpenStack you'll do the lookup with the horizon GUI or the OpenStack CLI
Roger Maitlandda221582018-05-10 13:43:58 -0400409for your tenant (openstack server list). That IP is then used in your
410`/etc/hosts` to map the fixed DNS aliases required by the ONAP Portal as shown
411below::

Hector Anapan-Lavalle55547da2018-07-26 13:33:17 -0400445 | Alternatives Considered:
446
447 - Kubernetes port forwarding was considered but discarded as it would require
448 the end user to run a script that opens up port forwarding tunnels to each of
449 the pods that provides a portal application widget.
450
451 - Reverting to a VNC server similar to what was deployed in the Amsterdam
452 release was also considered but there were many issues with resolution, lack
453 of volume mount, /etc/hosts dynamic update, file upload that were a tall order
454 to solve in time for the Beijing release.
455
456 Observations:
457
458 - If you are not using floating IPs in your Kubernetes deployment and directly attaching
459 a public IP address (i.e. by using your public provider network) to your K8S Node
460 VMs' network interface, then the output of 'kubectl -n onap get services | grep "portal-app"'
461 will show your public IP instead of the private network's IP. Therefore,
462 you can grab this public IP directly (as compared to trying to find the floating
463 IP first) and map this IP in /etc/hosts.

468Monitor
469=======
470
471All highly available systems include at least one facility to monitor the
472health of components within the system. Such health monitors are often used as
Eric Debeau993b77b2020-08-19 15:30:00 +0200473inputs to distributed coordination systems (such as etcd, Zookeeper, or Consul)
474and monitoring systems (such as Nagios or Zabbix). OOM provides two mechanisms
Roger Maitland953b5f12018-03-22 15:24:04 -0400475to monitor the real-time health of an ONAP deployment:
476
477- a Consul GUI for a human operator or downstream monitoring systems and
478 Kubernetes liveness probes that enable automatic healing of failed
479 containers, and
480- a set of liveness probes which feed into the Kubernetes manager which
481 are described in the Heal section.
482
Sylvain Desbureaux983c7552019-01-28 13:59:43 +0100483Within ONAP, Consul is the monitoring system of choice and deployed by OOM in
484two parts:
Roger Maitland953b5f12018-03-22 15:24:04 -0400485
486- a three-way, centralized Consul server cluster is deployed as a highly
Gildas Lanilis64d17ae2018-05-18 16:58:05 -0700487 available monitor of all of the ONAP components, and
Roger Maitland953b5f12018-03-22 15:24:04 -0400488- a number of Consul agents.
489
490The Consul server provides a user interface that allows a user to graphically
491view the current health status of all of the ONAP components for which agents
492have been created - a sample from the ONAP Integration labs follows:
493

Eric Debeauc4e405f2020-12-07 14:49:52 +0100497To see the real-time health of a deployment go to: ``http://<kubernetes IP>:30270/ui/``

505 :align: right
506
507Heal
508====
509
510The ONAP deployment is defined by Helm charts as mentioned earlier. These Helm
511charts are also used to implement automatic recoverability of ONAP components
512when individual components fail. Once ONAP is deployed, a "liveness" probe
513starts checking the health of the components after a specified startup time.
514
515Should a liveness probe indicate a failed container it will be terminated and a
516replacement will be started in its place - containers are ephemeral. Should the
517deployment specification indicate that there are one or more dependencies to
518this container or component (for example a dependency on a database) the
519dependency will be satisfied before the replacement container/component is
520started. This mechanism ensures that, after a failure, all of the ONAP
521components restart successfully.
522
523To test healing, the following command can be used to delete a pod::
524
525 > kubectl delete pod [pod name] -n [pod namespace]
526
527One could then use the following command to monitor the pods and observe the
528pod being terminated and the service being automatically healed with the
529creation of a replacement pod::
530
531 > kubectl get pods --all-namespaces -o=wide
532
533.. figure:: oomLogoV2-Scale.png
534 :align: right
535
536Scale
537=====
538
539Many of the ONAP components are horizontally scalable which allows them to
540adapt to expected offered load. During the Beijing release scaling is static,
541that is during deployment or upgrade a cluster size is defined and this cluster
542will be maintained even in the presence of faults. The parameter that controls
543the cluster size of a given component is found in the values.yaml file for that
544component. Here is an excerpt that shows this parameter:
545
546.. code-block:: yaml
547
548 # default number of instances
549 replicaCount: 1
550
551In order to change the size of a cluster, an operator could use a helm upgrade
552(described in detail in the next section) as follows::
553
ramagp060a51c2020-10-29 04:24:16 +0000554 > helm upgrade [RELEASE] [CHART] [flags]
555
556The RELEASE argument can be obtained from the following command::
557
558 > helm list
559
560Below is the example for the same::
561
562 > helm list

568
569Here the Name column shows the RELEASE NAME, In our case we want to try the
570scale operation on cassandra, thus the RELEASE NAME would be dev-cassandra.
571
572Now we need to obtain the chart name for casssandra. Use the below
573command to get the chart name::
574
575 > helm search cassandra
576
577Below is the example for the same::
578
579 > helm search cassandra
580 NAME CHART VERSION APP VERSION DESCRIPTION
581 local/cassandra 8.0.0 ONAP cassandra
582 local/portal-cassandra 8.0.0 Portal cassandra
583 local/aaf-cass 8.0.0 ONAP AAF cassandra
584 local/sdc-cs 8.0.0 ONAP Service Design and Creation Cassandra
585
586Here the Name column shows the chart name. As we want to try the scale
587operation for cassandra, thus the correponding chart name is local/cassandra
588
589
590Now we have both the command's arguments, thus we can perform the
591scale opeartion for cassandra as follows::
592
593 > helm upgrade dev-cassandra local/cassandra --set replicaCount=3
594
595Using this command we can scale up or scale down the cassadra db instances.
596
Roger Maitland953b5f12018-03-22 15:24:04 -0400597
598The ONAP components use Kubernetes provided facilities to build clustered,
599highly available systems including: Services_ with load-balancers, ReplicaSet_,
600and StatefulSet_. Some of the open-source projects used by the ONAP components
601directly support clustered configurations, for example ODL and MariaDB Galera.
602
603The Kubernetes Services_ abstraction to provide a consistent access point for
604each of the ONAP components, independent of the pod or container architecture
605of that component. For example, SDN-C uses OpenDaylight clustering with a
606default cluster size of three but uses a Kubernetes service to and change the
607number of pods in this abstract this cluster from the other ONAP components
608such that the cluster could change size and this change is isolated from the
609other ONAP components by the load-balancer implemented in the ODL service
610abstraction.
611
612A ReplicaSet_ is a construct that is used to describe the desired state of the
613cluster. For example 'replicas: 3' indicates to Kubernetes that a cluster of 3
614instances is the desired state. Should one of the members of the cluster fail,
615a new member will be automatically started to replace it.
616
617Some of the ONAP components many need a more deterministic deployment; for
618example to enable intra-cluster communication. For these applications the
619component can be deployed as a Kubernetes StatefulSet_ which will maintain a
620persistent identifier for the pods and thus a stable network id for the pods.
621For example: the pod names might be web-0, web-1, web-{N-1} for N 'web' pods
622with corresponding DNS entries such that intra service communication is simple
623even if the pods are physically distributed across multiple nodes. An example
624of how these capabilities can be used is described in the Running Consul on
625Kubernetes tutorial.
626
627.. figure:: oomLogoV2-Upgrade.png
628 :align: right
629
630Upgrade
631=======
632
633Helm has built-in capabilities to enable the upgrade of pods without causing a
634loss of the service being provided by that pod or pods (if configured as a
635cluster). As described in the OOM Developer's Guide, ONAP components provide
636an abstracted 'service' end point with the pods or containers providing this
637service hidden from other ONAP components by a load balancer. This capability
638is used during upgrades to allow a pod with a new image to be added to the
639service before removing the pod with the old image. This 'make before break'
640capability ensures minimal downtime.
641
642Prior to doing an upgrade, determine of the status of the deployed charts::
643
644 > helm list
645 NAME REVISION UPDATED STATUS CHART NAMESPACE
ramagp060a51c2020-10-29 04:24:16 +0000646 so 1 Mon Feb 5 10:05:22 2020 DEPLOYED so-8.0.0 onap
Roger Maitland953b5f12018-03-22 15:24:04 -0400647
648When upgrading a cluster a parameter controls the minimum size of the cluster
649during the upgrade while another parameter controls the maximum number of nodes
650in the cluster. For example, SNDC configured as a 3-way ODL cluster might
651require that during the upgrade no fewer than 2 pods are available at all times
652to provide service while no more than 5 pods are ever deployed across the two
653versions at any one time to avoid depleting the cluster of resources. In this
654scenario, the SDNC cluster would start with 3 old pods then Kubernetes may add
655a new pod (3 old, 1 new), delete one old (2 old, 1 new), add two new pods (2
656old, 3 new) and finally delete the 2 old pods (3 new). During this sequence
657the constraints of the minimum of two pods and maximum of five would be
658maintained while providing service the whole time.
659
660Initiation of an upgrade is triggered by changes in the Helm charts. For
661example, if the image specified for one of the pods in the SDNC deployment
662specification were to change (i.e. point to a new Docker image in the nexus3
663repository - commonly through the change of a deployment variable), the
664sequence of events described in the previous paragraph would be initiated.
665
666For example, to upgrade a container by changing configuration, specifically an
667environment value::
668
ramagp060a51c2020-10-29 04:24:16 +0000669 > helm upgrade so onap/so --version 8.0.1 --set enableDebug=true
Roger Maitland953b5f12018-03-22 15:24:04 -0400670
671Issuing this command will result in the appropriate container being stopped by
672Kubernetes and replaced with a new container with the new environment value.
673
674To upgrade a component to a new version with a new configuration file enter::
675
ramagp060a51c2020-10-29 04:24:16 +0000676 > helm upgrade so onap/so --version 8.0.1 -f environments/demo.yaml
Roger Maitland953b5f12018-03-22 15:24:04 -0400677
678To fetch release history enter::
679
680 > helm history so
681 REVISION UPDATED STATUS CHART DESCRIPTION

683 2 Mon Feb 5 10:10:55 2020 DEPLOYED so-8.0.1 Upgrade complete
Roger Maitland953b5f12018-03-22 15:24:04 -0400684
685Unfortunately, not all upgrades are successful. In recognition of this the
686lineup of pods within an ONAP deployment is tagged such that an administrator
687may force the ONAP deployment back to the previously tagged configuration or to
688a specific configuration, say to jump back two steps if an incompatibility
689between two ONAP components is discovered after the two individual upgrades
690succeeded.
691
692This rollback functionality gives the administrator confidence that in the
693unfortunate circumstance of a failed upgrade the system can be rapidly brought
694back to a known good state. This process of rolling upgrades while under
695service is illustrated in this short YouTube video showing a Zero Downtime
696Upgrade of a web application while under a 10 million transaction per second
697load.
698
699For example, to roll-back back to previous system revision enter::
700
701 > helm rollback so 1
702
703 > helm history so

709.. note::
710
711 The description field can be overridden to document actions taken or include
712 tracking numbers.
713
714Many of the ONAP components contain their own databases which are used to
715record configuration or state information. The schemas of these databases may
716change from version to version in such a way that data stored within the
717database needs to be migrated between versions. If such a migration script is
718available it can be invoked during the upgrade (or rollback) by Container
719Lifecycle Hooks. Two such hooks are available, PostStart and PreStop, which
720containers can access by registering a handler against one or both. Note that
721it is the responsibility of the ONAP component owners to implement the hook
722handlers - which could be a shell script or a call to a specific container HTTP
723endpoint - following the guidelines listed on the Kubernetes site. Lifecycle
724hooks are not restricted to database migration or even upgrades but can be used
725anywhere specific operations need to be taken during lifecycle operations.
726
727OOM uses Helm K8S package manager to deploy ONAP components. Each component is
728arranged in a packaging format called a chart - a collection of files that
729describe a set of k8s resources. Helm allows for rolling upgrades of the ONAP
730component deployed. To upgrade a component Helm release you will need an
731updated Helm chart. The chart might have modified, deleted or added values,
732deployment yamls, and more. To get the release name use::
733
734 > helm ls
735
736To easily upgrade the release use::
737
738 > helm upgrade [RELEASE] [CHART]
739
740To roll back to a previous release version use::
741
742 > helm rollback [flags] [RELEASE] [REVISION]
743
744For example, to upgrade the onap-so helm release to the latest SO container
745release v1.1.2:
746
747- Edit so values.yaml which is part of the chart
748- Change "so: nexus3.onap.org:10001/openecomp/so:v1.1.1" to
749 "so: nexus3.onap.org:10001/openecomp/so:v1.1.2"
750- From the chart location run::
751
752 > helm upgrade onap-so
753
754The previous so pod will be terminated and a new so pod with an updated so
755container will be created.

760Delete
761======
762
763Existing deployments can be partially or fully removed once they are no longer
764needed. To minimize errors it is recommended that before deleting components
765from a running deployment the operator perform a 'dry-run' to display exactly
ramagp060a51c2020-10-29 04:24:16 +0000766what will happen with a given command prior to actually deleting anything.
767For example::

Sylvain Desbureaux557628a2021-03-24 14:59:16 +0100775 > helm undeploy onap

ramagp060a51c2020-10-29 04:24:16 +0000777Once complete undeploy is done then delete the namespace as well
778using following command::
779
780 > kubectl delete namespace <name of namespace>
781
782.. note::
783 You need to provide the namespace name which you used during deployment,
784 below is the example::
785
786 > kubectl delete namespace onap
787
Roger Maitland953b5f12018-03-22 15:24:04 -0400788One can also remove individual components from a deployment by changing the
789ONAP configuration values. For example, to remove `so` from a running
790deployment enter::
791
Sylvain Desbureaux557628a2021-03-24 14:59:16 +0100792 > helm undeploy onap-so
Roger Maitland953b5f12018-03-22 15:24:04 -0400793
794will remove `so` as the configuration indicates it's no longer part of the
795deployment. This might be useful if a one wanted to replace just `so` by
