The CSAR is a heat template package with Helm chart in it. Basic package consists of an environment file, base_dummy.yaml file (for the sake of example) and MANIFEST.json and the tar.gz file (of Helm chart). We need to zip all of these files before onboarding. 

One thing to pay much attention to is the naming convention which must be followed while making the tgz.

NOTE: The Naming convention is for the helm chart tgz file.

Naming convention follows the format:

<free format string>_cloudtech_<technology>_<subtype>.extension

1.       Cloudtech is a fixed pattern and should not be changed if not necessary
2.      Technology: k8s, azure, aws, ….
3.       Subtype:  charts, day0, configtemplate, ...
4.      Extension: zip, tgz, csar, …”

NOTE: The .tgz file must be a tgz created from the top level helm chart folder. I.e a folder that contains a Chart.yaml file in it. For vFW use case the content of the tgz file must be following

...

$ helm package firewall

$ tar -tf firewall-0.1.0.tgz

firewall/.helmignore
firewall/Chart.yaml

Create CSAR with Helm chart as an artifact

For onboarding instructions please refer to steps 4-9 from the document here.

Distribute the CSAR

On onboarding, a service gets stored in SDC and as a final action, it is distributed to SO and other services. When distribution happens it takes tar.gz file and uploads to k8s plugin.

Update K8sConfig

Workaround for R4 Dublin. This step will not be needed from R5.

Edit the configMap helm-release-name-multicloud-k8s for K8s plugin to make changes to the config like below to add ovn-central-address:

{
"ca-file": "/opt/multicloud/k8splugin/certs/root_ca.cer",
"server-cert": "/opt/multicloud/k8splugin/certs/multicloud-k8s.pub",
"server-key": "/opt/multicloud/k8splugin/certs/multicloud-k8s.pr",
"password": "c2VjcmV0bWFuYWdlbWVudHNlcnZpY2VzZWNyZXRwYXNzd29yZA==",
"database-type": "mongo",
"database-address": "multicloud-k8s-mongo",
"etcd-ip": "multicloud-k8s-etcd",
"plugin-dir": "/opt/multicloud/k8splugin/plugins",

 "ovn-central-address": "<IP address of the Kubernetes controller>:6641"
}

(the configMap is based on  oom/kubernetes/multicloud/charts/multicloud-k8s/resources/config/k8sconfig.json )

Restart the Multoclod-K8s Plugin for the changes to take effect.

Register KUD Cloud region with AAI

Onboard a service it gets stored in SDC final action is distributed. SO and other services are notified sdc listener in the multicloud sidecar. When distribution happens it takes tar.gz file and uploads to k8s plugin.

Create Profile Manually

K8s-plugin artifacts start in the form of Definitions. These are nothing but Helm Charts wrapped with some metadata about the chart itself. Once the Definitions are created, we are ready to create some profiles so that we can customize that definition and instantiate it in Kubernetes.

(NOTE: Refer this link for complete API lists and documentation: MultiCloud K8s-Plugin-service API)

A profile contains the following:

1. manifest.yaml
1. Contains the details for the profile and everything contained within
2. A HELM values override yaml file.
1. It can have any name as long as it matches the corresponding entry in the manifest.yaml
3. Any number of files organized in a folder structure
1. All these files should have a corresponding entry in manifest.yaml file

Creating a Profile Artifact

...

The manifest file contains the following

Note: values: "values_override.yaml" can be empty file if you are creating a dummy profile

Note: A dummy profile does not need any customization. The following is optional in the manifest file.

With this information, we are ready to upload the profile with the following JSON data

...

{
   "rb-name": "test-rbdef",
   "rb-version": "v1",
   "profile-name": "p1",
   "release-name": "r1", //If release-name is not provided, profile-name will be used
   "namespace": "testnamespace1",
   "kubernetes-version": "1.12.3"
}

 Command to create (POST) Profile

...

curl -i -d @create_rbprofile.json -X POST http://MSB_NODE_IP:30280/api/multicloud-k8s/v1/v1/rb/definition/test-rbdef/v1/profile

Command to UPLOAD artifact for Profile

...

curl -i --data-binary @profile.tar.gz -X POST http://MSB_NODE_IP:30280/api/multicloud-k8s/v1/v1/rb/definition/test-rbdef/v1/profile/p1/content

Command to GET Profiles

Command to DELETE Profile

Instantiation

Instantiation is done by SO. SO then talks to Multi Cloud-broker via MSB and that in turn looks up the cloud region in AAI to find the endpoint. If k8sregion one is registered with AAI and SO makes a call with that, then the broker will know that it needs to talk to k8s-plugin based on the type of the registration.

Instantiate the created Profile via the following REST API

Using the following JSON:

4. Addition of Cloud Region to SO Catalog DB

See starting around 4:45 of the video -  https://lf-onap.atlassian.net/wiki/download/attachments/16377507/vfwk8s_cloud_registration_720.mp4

Additional SO Configuration

There is a configuration needed for SO – it is described here in the docs (in step 4): https://onap.readthedocs.io/en/latest/submodules/integration.git/docs/docs_vfwHPA.html#docs-vfw-hpa

But also replicated below for convenience:

Modify the SO bpmn configmap to change the SO vnf adapter endpoint to v2

oom-rancher#    kubectl -n onap edit configmap dev-so-so-bpmn-infra-app-configmap

- vnf:

          endpoint: http://so-openstack-adapter.onap:8087/services/VnfAdapter

          rest:

            endpoint: http://so-openstack-adapter.onap:8087/services/rest/v1/vnfs

+ vnf:

          endpoint: http://so-openstack-adapter.onap:8087/services/VnfAdapter

          rest:

            endpoint: http://so-openstack-adapter.onap:8087/services/rest/v2/vnfs

Then delete the bpmn pod

oom-rancher#  kubectl delete <pod-name> -n onap

Creating a Profile Artifact

The manifest file contains the following

Note: values: "values_override.yaml" can be empty file if you are creating a dummy profile

Note: A dummy profile does not need any customization. The following is optional in the manifest file.

We need to read the name of the Definition which was created while distribution of the service from SDC.

Command to read the Definition name and its version

On the ONAP K8s Rancher host execute following statement 

From the output read the name of the definition which is "rb-name" and "rb-version" respectively

Command to read (GET) Definition

With this information, we are ready to upload the profile with the following JSON data

NOTE: Make sure that the namespace is already created before instantiation.

Instantiate the profile with the ID provided above

Command to Instantiate a Profile

 Command to create (POST) Profile

Command to UPLOAD artifact for Profile

The command returns the following JSON

Delete Instantiated Kubernetes resources

The id  field from the returned JSON can be used to DELETE the resources created in the previous step. This executes a Delete operation using the Kubernetes API.

GET Instantiated Kubernetes resources

The id field from the returned JSON can be used to GET the resources created in the previous step. This executes a get operation using the Kubernetes API.

Command to GET Profiles

Command to DELETE Profile

Known Issues:

• Use the vFw Helm chart from the Master branch - (https://github.com/onap/multicloud-k8s/tree/master/kud/demo/firewall)
• Artifact broker version issue (Libo to update this section)
  • please refer to the description in 

    Jira Legacy
    server System Jira serverId 4733707d-2057-3a0f-ae5e-4fd8aff50176 key MULTICLOUD-749

• Recommended way tar the resource bundle image is tar.gz. helm package is not supported in Dublin.
• In Dublin Get all Definitions is not supported in K8s Plugin API's. Bug is filed for this.

Commands for instantiation using K8s API:

These commands can be used to interact directly with K8s Plugin with SO.

...

We need to create parameters that ultimately get translated as:

Delete Instantiated Kubernetes resources

The id  field from the returned JSON can be used to DELETE the resources created in the previous step. This executes a Delete operation using the Kubernetes API.

GET Instantiated Kubernetes resources

The id field from the returned JSON can be used to GET the resources created in the previous step. This executes a get operation using the Kubernetes API.
