Programming Languages

infinispan-cloud uses KUBE_PING to query the Kube API for nodes, pods and labels we need to add permissions, hence the service account associated with the deployment need to be added with the required roles to allow infinispan to query kubernetes API.

This application uses a service account called popular-movie-store to run the pod, the service account popular-movie-store should be given view permissions to use Kube API.

Typically we do the following on OpenShift to add the role to the user,

oc policy add-role-to-user view system:serviceaccount:$(oc project -q):default -n $(oc project -q)  # (1)

oc policy add-role-to-user view system:serviceaccount:$(oc project -q):popular-movie-store -n $(oc project -q) # (2)

Adds view role to default service account
Adds view role to popular-movie-store service account

Since we use fabric8 maven plugin we have automated this step, using the rb.yml resource

API Key

You need the themoviedb API key for running the application, you can get one from themoviedb.

Once you have the API key from themoviedb, generate a base64 encoded value of it,

echo -n '<your-api-key>' | openssl base64

Deploying

Assuming you having a running Kubernetes cluster, execute the following command to deploy the application,

./mvnw  -DapiKey=<api-key> clean fabric8:deploy #(1)

./mvnw -Pcanary clean -DapiKey=<api-key> clean fabric8:deploy #(2)

The fabric8:deploy will trigger deployment of manifests in Kubernetes cluster
The application is configured with maven profile called canary pom.xml, which aids in performing the Canary Releases

Tip	Everytime you do fabric8:deploy all resources are recreated this could be an issue with services as nodePort will refreshed on every deployment, to avoid that just add `-Dfabric8.deploy.ignoreServices` when doing re-deployments.

Note	The build will take some time for the very first deployment, as bunch of images needs to be pulled.

Accessing the Application

Once the application is deployed in Kubernetes you can access the application with one of the following ways

If you are using minikube you can open the application in the browser using the command minikube service popular-movie-store

(OR)

If you are using minishift you can OpenShift console in the browser using the command minishift console and find the application url from the console refer to screenshot below

Sessions API

The core idea of the demo is to see if my sessions stand with rolling upgrade of the applications, to know your current sessions you can access the url http://<application-url>/sessions, which will return the JSON of the currently active sessions, where the application url is the same one from Accessing the Application

Undeploying

The application can be undeployed using the following fabric8-maven-plugin goals,

Normal release

./mvnw  -DapiKey=<api-key> fabric8:undeploy

Canary Release

./mvnw -Pcanary -DapiKey=<api-key> fabric8:undeploy

Pipelines

The application is enabled for OpenShit CI/CD via Jenkins. Fork your the project to your user id and then,

Login to the OpenShift server using oc login, please make sure you login with user who can has cluster admin role to enable creation of github secrets
From the Project root do mvn fabric8:import
You will now see the Buid Config for the project created in Github
To get the GitHub webhook url run the command oc describe bc/popular-moive-store
Add the GitHub WebHook url displayed in GitHub Web Hook settings

You are now all set to trigger the pipelines via GitHub pushes.

Note	Automatic builds for GitHub will work only if the project is reachable via internet otherwise you need to start the builds manually

Utilities and Tools

Applications

The following applications are very handy for development, and its purely optional to have them installed to the kubernetes environment, they are available at Kubernetes or OpenShift for respective environments

exposecontroller - a utility that can exposes the service automatically when it the manifests has label expose:true
configmapcontroller - a utility that does a rebounce of the pod when the configmap mentioned in the annotation of the deployment changes

Tools
