PERF Operator

Please refer to EDP documentation to get the notion of the main concepts and guidelines.

Get acquainted with the PERF Operator and the installation process as well as the local development, and architecture scheme.

Overview

PERF Operator is an EDP operator that is responsible for for integration with the Project Performance Board (PERF board), maintenance, and creation of the data source in the delivery metrics. Operator installation can be applied on two container orchestration platforms: OpenShift and Kubernetes.

NOTE: Operator is platform-independent, that is why there is a unified instruction for deploying.

Prerequisites

Linux machine or Windows Subsystem for Linux instance with Helm 3 installed;
Cluster admin access to the cluster;
EDP project/namespace is deployed by following the Install EDP instruction.

Installation

In order to install the PERF Operator, follow the steps below:

To add the Helm EPAMEDP Charts for local client, run “helm repo add”:
```
  helm repo add epamedp https://epam.github.io/edp-helm-charts/stable
```

Choose available Helm chart version:

  helm search repo epamedp/perf-operator -l
  NAME                           CHART VERSION   APP VERSION     DESCRIPTION
  epamedp/perf-operator          2.12.0          2.12.0          A Helm chart for EDP Perf Operator
  epamedp/perf-operator          2.11.0          2.11.0          A Helm chart for EDP Perf Operator

NOTE: It is highly recommended to use the latest released version.

Create manually the corresponding secrets:

3.1 OpenShift:

 oc -n <edp-project> create secret generic <perf.credentialName> --from-literal=username=<username_to_perf> --from-literal=password=<password_to_perf>
 oc -n <edp-project> create secret generic <perf.luminate.credentialName> --from-literal=username=<username_to_luminate> --from-literal=password=<password_to_luminate>

3.2 Kubernetes:

 kubectl -n <edp-project> create secret generic <perf.credentialName> --from-literal=username=<username_to_perf> --from-literal=password=<password_to_perf>
 kubectl -n <edp-project> create secret generic <perf.luminate.credentialName> --from-literal=username=<username_to_luminate> --from-literal=password=<password_to_luminate>

INFO: The <perf.credentialName> and <perf.luminate.credentialName> parameters are described below.

IMPORTANT: Pay attention that at this point, the PERF integration works only on the top of Luminate service so it is required to create the Luminate secret.

Create config map with luminate data:

4.1 OpenShift:

 oc -n <edp-project> create configmap luminatesec-conf --from-literal=apiUrl=<api_url_to_get_luminate_token> --from-literal=credentialName=<perf.luminate.credentialName>

4.2 Kubernetes:

 kubectl -n <edp-project> create configmap luminatesec-conf --from-literal=apiUrl=<api_url_to_get_luminate_token> --from-literal=credentialName=<perf.luminate.credentialName>

Create PerfServer CR:

 apiVersion: v2.edp.epam.com/v1
 kind: PerfServer
 metadata:
   name: <perf_cr_name>
   namespace: <namespace>
 spec:
   apiUrl: '<perf.apiUrl>'
   credentialName: '<perf.credentialName>'
   projectName: '<perf.projectName>'
   rootUrl: '<perf.rootUrl>'

NOTE: As soon as the connection is established, the following information will be displayed in the status parameter:
status:
 available: true
detailed_message: connected

Create secrets with administrative rights to integrate the PERF data source with services (e.g. Jenkins, Sonar, GitLab):

6.1 OpenShift:

 oc -n <edp-project> create secret generic gitlab-admin-password --from-literal=username=<username_to_gitlab> --from-literal=password=<password_to_gitlab>
 oc -n <edp-project> create secret generic jenkins-admin-token --from-literal=username=<username_to_jenkins> --from-literal=password=<password_to_jenkins>
 oc -n <edp-project> create secret generic sonar-admin-password --from-literal=username=<username_to_sonar> --from-literal=password=<password_to_sonar>

6.2 Kubernetes:

 kubectl -n <edp-project> create secret generic gitlab-admin-password --from-literal=username=<username_to_gitlab> --from-literal=password=<password_to_gitlab>
 kubectl -n <edp-project> create secret generic jenkins-admin-token --from-literal=username=<username_to_jenkins> --from-literal=password=<password_to_jenkins>
 kubectl -n <edp-project> create secret generic sonar-admin-password --from-literal=username=<username_to_sonar> --from-literal=password=<password_to_sonar>

Full chart parameters available in deploy-templates/README.md.

Install operator in the namespace with the helm command; find below the installation command example:

     helm install perf-operator epamedp/perf-operator --version <chart_version> --namespace <edp-project> \
     --set name=perf-operator \
     --set global.edpName=<edp-project> \
     --set global.platform=openshift \
     --set perf.integration=true \
     --set perf.name=<perf_server_name> \
     --set perf.apiUrl=<api_url> \
     --set perf.rootUrl=<URL_to_project_in_perf> \
     --set perf.credentialName=<credential_name> \
     --set perf.projectName=<project_name_in_perf> \
     --set perf.luminate.enabled=true \
     --set perf.luminate.apiUrl=<api_url> \
     --set perf.luminate.credentialName=<credential_name> \

Check the namespace that should contain operator deployment with your operator in a running status.

Local Development

In order to develop the operator, first set up a local environment. For details, please refer to the Local Development page.

Development versions are also available, please refer to the snapshot helm chart repository page.
