Introduction

In Casablanca release, MSB project is integrating Istio Service Mesh with ONAP to manage ONAP microservices. Istio Service Mesh is a dedicated infrastructure layer to connect, manage and secure microservices, which brings the below benefits:

  • Stability and Reliability: Reliable communication with retries and circuit breaker 
  • Security: Secured communication with TLS 
  • Performance: Latency aware load balancing with warm cache
  • Observability: Metrics measurement and distributed tracing without instrumenting application 
  • Manageability: Routing rule and rate limiting enforcement 
  • Testability: Fault injection to test resilience of the services

Installation

Currently, the installation scripts are in Github, they will be moved to ONAP Gerrit once the requested repo is created.

Download installation scripts with git clone:

git clone https://github.com/zhaohuabing/istio-install-scripts.git

Kubernetes Master

We need Kubernetes1.9 or newer to enable automatic sidecar injection, so we don't have to modify every individual ONAP kubernetes yaml deployment files to add the sidecar container, which would be inconvenient.

Istio leverages the webhook feature of Kubernetes to automatically inject an Envoy sidecar to each Pod. Kubernetes API server will call the Istio sidecar injection webhook when it receives a request to create a Pod resource, the webhook adds an Envoy sidecar container to the Pod, then the modified Pod resource is stored into etcd.    

Webhook and other needed features have already been configured in the install scripts.

Create the Kubernetes master by running this script:

cd istio-install-scripts
sudo ./1_install_k8s_master.sh

This script will create a Kubernetes master node with Kubeadm and install calico network plugin. Some other needed tools such as Docker, Kubectl and Helm will also be installed.

From the output of the script, you should see a command on how to join a node to the created Kubernets cluster. Note that this is an example, the token and cert-hash of your installation will be different, please copy & paste the command to somewhere, we will need it later.

You can now join any number of machines by running the following on each node
as root:

  kubeadm join 10.12.5.104:6443 --token 1x62yf.60ys5p2iw13tx2t8 --discovery-token-ca-cert-hash sha256:f06628c7cee002b262e69f3f9efadf47bdec125e19606ebff743a3e514a8383b


Kubernetes worker Node

Log in the worker node machine, run this script to create a kubernetes worker node:

cd istio-install-scripts
sudo ./2_install_k8s_minion.sh

You can now join this machines by running "kubeadmin join" command as root:

sudo kubeadm join 10.12.5.104:6443 --token 1x62yf.60ys5p2iw13tx2t8 --discovery-token-ca-cert-hash sha256:f06628c7cee002b262e69f3f9efadf47bdec125e19606ebff743a3e514a8383b

Please note that this is just an example, please refer to the output of the "kubeamin init" when creating the k8s master for the exact command to use in your k8s cluster.

If you would like to get kubectl talk to your k8s master, you need to copy the administrator kubeconfig file from your master to your workstation like this:

scp root@<master ip>:/etc/kubernetes/admin.conf .
kubectl --kubeconfig ./admin.conf get nodes

or you can manually copy the content of this file to ~/.kube/conf if scp can't be used due to security reason.
