Armada is a tool for managing multiple helm charts with dependencies by centralizing
all configurations in a single Armada yaml and providing lifecycle
hooks for all helm releases.
Armada is a tool for managing multiple Helm charts with dependencies by centralizing
all configurations in a single Armada YAML and providing lifecycle
hooks for all Helm releases.
Armada consists of two separate but complementary components:
#. CLI component (**mandatory**) which interfaces directly with `Tiller`_.
#. API component (**optional**) which services user requests through a wsgi
server (which in turn communicates with the `Tiller`_ server) and provides
the following additional functionality:
* Role-Based Access Control.
* Limiting projects to specific `Tiller`_ functionality by leveraging
project-scoping provided by `Keystone`_.

Developer Install Guide
=======================
Quick Start (via Container)
---------------------------
.. note::
If actively developing new Armada functionality, it is recommended to proceed
with :ref:`manual-installation` instead.
To use the docker container to develop:
1. Fork the `Repository <http://github.com/att-comdev/armada>`_
2. Clone the forked repo
3. Change to the directory of the cloned repo
#. Clone the `Armada repository <http://github.com/att-comdev/armada>`_.
#. ``cd`` into the cloned directory.
.. code-block:: bash
.. code-block:: bash
git clone http://github.com/att-comdev/armada.git && cd armada
$ git clone http://github.com/att-comdev/armada.git && cd armada
pip install tox
#. Next, run the following commands to install ``tox``, generate sample policy
and configuration files, and build Armada charts as well as the Armada
container image::
tox -e genconfig
tox -e genpolicy
$ pip install tox
docker build . -t armada/latest
$ tox -e genconfig
$ tox -e genpolicy
make images
$ docker build . -t armada/latest
$ make images
.. code-block:: bash
#. Run the container via Docker::
# Run Docker Image
docker run -d --name armada -v ~/.kube/:/armada/.kube/ -v $(pwd)/etc:/etc armada:local
$ docker run -d --name armada -v ~/.kube/:/armada/.kube/ -v $(pwd)/etc:/etc armada:local

.. _manual-installation:
How to set up armada in your local using virtualenv:
Manual Installation
-------------------
Pre-requisites
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Armada has many pre-requisites because it relies on `Helm`_, which itself
has pre-requisites. The guide below consolidates the installation of all
pre-requisites. For help troubleshooting individual resources, reference
their installation guides.
Armada requires a Kubernetes cluster to be deployed, along with `kubectl`_,
`Helm`_ client, and `Tiller`_ (the Helm server).
#. Install Kubernetes (k8s) and deploy a k8s cluster.
This can be accomplished by cloning the
`k8s repo <https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes>_` and running
``kube-up.sh`` in ``kubernetes/cluster``.
Alternatively, reference the :ref:`k8s-cluster-management` section below.
#. Install and configure `kubectl`_
#. Ensure that ``~/.kube/config`` exists and is properly configured by
executing::
$ kubectl config view
If the file does not exist, please create it by running::
$ kubectl
#. Install and configure the `Helm`_ client.
#. Install and configure `Tiller`_ (Helm server).
#. Verify that Tiller is installed and running correctly by running:
::
$ kubectl get pods -n kube-system
.. _k8s-cluster-management:
Kubernetes Cluster Management
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
To test Armada fixes/features a Kubernetes cluster must be installed.
Either software is recommended:
* `Kubeadm <https://kubernetes.io/docs/setup/independent/create-cluster-kubeadm/>`_
* `Kubeadm-AIO <https://docs.openstack.org/openstack-helm/latest/install/
developer/all-in-one.html>`_
.. _armada-cli-installation:
Armada CLI Installation
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Follow the steps below to install the Armada CLI.
.. note::
Suggest that you use a Ubuntu 16.04 VM
Some commands below use ``apt-get`` as the package management software.
Use whichever command corresponds to the Linux distro being used.
From the directory of the forked repository:
.. warning::
.. code-block:: bash
Armada is only tested against a Ubuntu 16.04 environment.
Clone the Armada repository, ``cd`` into it::
git clone http://github.com/att-comdev/armada.git && cd armada
virtualenv -p python3 venv
It is recommended that Armada be run inside a virtual environment. To do so::
.. code-block:: bash
$ virtualenv -p python3 venv
...
>> New python executable in <...>/venv/bin/python3
pip install -r requirements.txt -r test-requirements.txt
Afterward, ``source`` the executable::
make bootstrap # install only requirements lib
make bootstrap-all # install all requirements and tests lib
source <...>/venv/bin/activate
Next, ensure that ``pip`` is installed.
.. code-block:: bash
$ apt-get install -y python3-pip
$ pip3 install --upgrade pip
pip install .
make build
Finally, run (from inside the Armada root directory)::
$ (venv) make build
.. code-block:: bash
The above command will install ``pip`` requirements and execute
``python setup.py build`` within the virtual environment.
# Testing your armada code
# The tox command will execute lint, bandit, cover
Verify that the Armada CLI is installed::
pip install tox
$ armada --help
tox
make test-all
Which should emit::
# Linting
tox -e pep8
make test-pep8
make lint
>> Usage: armada [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...
>>
>> Multi Helm Chart Deployment Manager
...
# Bandit
tox -e bandit
make test-bandit
Armada API Server Installation
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
# Coverage
tox -e coverage
make test-coverage
The Armada API server is not required in order to use the Armada CLI,
which in this sense is standalone. The Armada CLI communicates with the Tiller
server and, as such, no API server needs to be instantiated in order for
Armada to communicate with Tiller. The Armada API server and CLI interface
have the exact same functionality. However, the Armada API server offers the
following additional functionality:
# build charts
make charts
* Role-Based Access Control, allowing Armada to provide authorization around
specific Armada (and by extension) Tiller functionality.
* `Keystone`_ authentication and project scoping, providing an additional
layer of security.
# policy and config are used in order to use and configure Armada API
tox -e genconfig
tox -e genpolicy
Before proceeding, ensure that the steps in :ref:`armada-cli-installation`
have been followed.
#. Determine where the Armada configuration/deployment files should be stored.
The default location is ``/etc/armada``. To override the default, run::
.. note::
$ export OS_ARMADA_CONFIG_DIR=<desired_path>
If building from source, Armada requires that git be installed on
the system.
#. If the directory specified by ``OS_ARMADA_CONFIG_DIR`` is empty, run
(from the Armada root directory)::
Kubernetes
##########
$ cp etc/armada/* <OS_ARMADA_CONFIG_DIR>/
$ mv <OS_ARMADA_CONFIG_DIR>/armada.conf.sample <OS_ARMADA_CONFIG_DIR>/armada.conf
To test your armada fixes/features you will need to set-up a Kubernetes cluster.
# Install ``uwsgi``::
We recommend:
$ apt-get install uwsgi -y
`Kubeadm <https://kubernetes.io/docs/setup/independent/create-cluster-kubeadm/>`_
#. Ensure that port 8000 is available or else change the ``PORT`` value in
``entrypoint.sh``.
`Kubeadm-AIO <https://docs.openstack.org/openstack-helm/latest/install/
developer/all-in-one.html>`_
#. From the root Armada directory, execute::
$ ./entrypoint.sh server
#. Verify that the Armada server is running by executing::
$ TOKEN=$(openstack token issue --format value -c id)
$ curl -i -X GET localhost:8000/versions -H "X-Auth-Token: $TOKEN"
Note that the port above uses the default value in ``entrypoint.sh``.
Development Utilities
---------------------
Armada comes equipped with many utilities useful for developers, such as
unit test or linting jobs.
Many of these commands require that ``tox`` be installed. To do so, run::
$ pip3 install tox
To run the Python linter, execute::
$ tox -e pep8
To lint Helm charts, execute::
$ make lint
To run unit tests, execute::
$ tox -e py35
To run the test coverage job::
$ tox -e coverage
To run security checks via `Bandit`_ execute::
$ tox -e bandit
To build all Armada charts, execute::
$ make charts
To generate sample configuration and policy files needed for Armada deployment,
execute (respectively)::
$ tox -e genconfig
$ tox -e genpolicy
Troubleshooting
---------------
The error messages are included in bullets below and tips to resolution are
included beneath each bullet.
* "FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/etc/armada/api-paste.ini'"
Reason: this means that Armada is trying to instantiate the server but
failing to do so because it can't find an essential configuration file.
Solution::
$ cp etc/armada/armada.conf.sample /etc/armada/armada.conf
This copies the sample Armada configuration file to the appropriate
directory.
* For any errors related to ``tox``:
Ensure that ``tox`` is installed::
$ sudo apt-get install tox -y
* For any errors related to running ``tox -e py35``:
Ensure that ``python3-dev`` is installed::
$ sudo apt-get install python3-dev -y
