DCAE Platform in Dublin release supports new feature to deploy components via helm chart. This is enabled by integrating Helm Cloudify plugin into Cloudify Manager instance DCAE-Platform uses to deploy other required services. The cloudify plugin itself is under CCSDK project delivered part of Casablanca. For Dublin, this plugin has been integrated into DCAE ONAP deployment.

Dublin Scope

The helm plugin was intended to support deployment scenario of stand-alone application similar to capability offered under OOM. With this plugin integration, any charts packaged under ONAP OOM can be deployed through DCAE platform in ONAP. This provides an opportunity for operators to use a single orchestration through Cloudify for deploying both Helm and Toscal work flows if required.

As all DCAE MS currently are TOSCA work flow based, the helm plugin is not used for DCAE component deployment.

Pre-Configuration Steps

Helm needs to be installed on the CM pod

Code Block

language	bash
theme	Midnight

kubectl exec -n onap <Cloudify Manager pod> /bin/bash

wget http://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-helm/helm-v2.9.1-linux-amd64.tar.gz
tar -zxvf helm-v2.9.1-linux-amd64.tar.gz
sudo mv linux-amd64/helm /usr/local/bin/helm

2. Tiller service should be updated to expose a nodeport

Code Block

language	bash
theme	Midnight


kubectl edit svc -n kube-system tiller-deploy -o yaml
# Assign an unused nodeport available in cluster

Installation

Both above templates are loaded into DCAE bootstrap pod for convenience

Note: Explanation of parameters are documented under CCSDK wiki page : Introduction of Helm Plugin

Future Enhancement

Requires changing nodeport for tiller; since the deployment is done from bootstrap pod, clusterip/port must also be supportable
Existing namespace cannot be used currently
Deployment error not being logged
