Why Operator ?

Kubernetes is good, but ......

  • 維護困難 (yaml 缺乏變數、迴圈機制)
    • Deployment / DaemonSet
       
    • Service / Ingress / Network Policy
       
    • PV / PVC /ConfigMap / Secret
       
    • RBAC / ServiceAccount
       
    • CRD ?

Kubernetes is good, but ......

  • 缺乏Lifecycle管理、程式相依性管理
     
  • Stateful 機制不足,導致 CrashLoop
     
  • 專業知識要求高,例如:
    • MSSQL Always On
    • etcd cluster scale up
    • Virtual Machine (kubevirt)
    • Sidecar Injection (Istio)

Operator Framework

  • 此概念由CoreOS 提出,
    被大量用在 RedHat OpenShift 中
     
  • 為了管理 CRD 而產生,結合 Lifecycle 的概念
     
  • 復用 kube-controller 的機制
    (可視為,管理 Deployment 的一種 Operator)
     
  • Golang為主要的開發語言,提供變數、迴圈的機制

Operator Framework

  • Etcd Operator
  • Prometheus Operator
  • Rook.io (Ceph Operator)

Operator Framework

Operator not Popular?

Pros

  • 不用學習 Golang
     
  • Event Hook 機制
     
  • 既有 Shell Script 重複利用
     
  • 不用自行實作「監控CRD」
    (不重複造輪子)
     
  • 自帶 metrics 、 logging

Cons

  • 變數、迴圈不友善
     
  • 沒有 Template 機制 (envsubst)
     
  • Lifecycle 綁定既定框架
    (Auto-scale with custom Metrics)
     
  • 非聲明式 => IaC 難實現
    (Infrastructure as Code)

Shell Operator

FROM kubespheredev/shell-operator:v1.0.0-beta.5-alpine3.12

ENV  ANSIBLE_ROLES_PATH /kubesphere/installer/roles
WORKDIR /kubesphere
ADD controller/* /hooks/kubesphere/

ADD roles /kubesphere/installer/roles
ADD env /kubesphere/results/env
ADD playbooks /kubesphere/playbooks
USER kubesphere

Ansible / Kubernetes

 

其實是可以一起使用的......

Compare with......

Ansible / Kubernetes

Same

  • IaC 實現
  • 豐富的生態系
  • 商業支持 (RedHat)
     
  • 腳本為yaml 格式
  • 皆沒有 Lifecycle Management

Diff

  • Kubernetes:
    • Containerilzed
    • CRI, CNI, CSI
  • Ansible
    • Variable, Loop, Condition
    • Template
    • Python Extension
    • 缺乏RBAC
    • Need Inventory File

Compare with......

Ansible Operator/ Helm 3

Same

  • Template (jinja v.s. Go Template)
  • Version Control
  • Containerlized
     
  • 豐富的生態系
  • 腳本為yaml 格式
  • OCI Compatible
  • 繼承所有 Kubernetes 特性
    (CRI, CNI, CSI)
     

Diff

  • Helm 3:
    • 缺乏Lifecycle Management
    • Dry-run Usage
       
  • Ansible Operator:
    • Custom Image
    • Agent 依賴性
    • Python Extension
