Sensu operator

CircleCI

Status: Proof of concept

The Sensu operator manages Sensu 2.0 clusters deployed to Kubernetes and automates tasks related to operating a Sensu cluster.

It is based on and heavily inspired by the etcd-operator.

Setup

Start Minikube with CNI plugins enabled and install Calico for network policies to take effect:

$ minikube start --memory=3072 --kubernetes-version v1.10.0 --extra-config=controller-manager.cluster-cidr=192.168.0.0/16 --extra-config=controller-manager.allocate-node-cidrs=true --network-plugin=cni --extra-config=kubelet.network-plugin=cni
$ kubectl apply -f https://docs.projectcalico.org/v3.1/getting-started/kubernetes/installation/hosted/rbac-kdd.yaml
$ kubectl apply -f https://docs.projectcalico.org/v3.1/getting-started/kubernetes/installation/hosted/kubernetes-datastore/calico-networking/1.7/calico.yaml

Network policies will get installed automatically with a Sensu cluster.

For testing, a NetworkPolicy capable CNI plugin is not necessary, the operator will install the policy regardless without effect.

$ minikube start --memory=3072 --kubernetes-version v1.10.0

Prerequisites

Build the binaries:

$ make build

Since there is no official, public sensu-operator container image yet, i.e. you have to build your own:

#### Make sure the container image is build with the Minikube Docker
#### instance so that it's available for the kubelet later:
$ eval $(minikube docker-env)

#### Build the container:
$ make container

Installation

Create a role and role binding:

$ ./example/rbac/create-role

Create a sensu-operator deployment:

$ kubectl apply -f example/deployment.yaml

You should end up with three running pods, e.g.:

$ kubectl get pods -l name=sensu-operator
NAME                              READY     STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
sensu-operator-6444f68845-54bvs   1/1       Running   0          1m
sensu-operator-6444f68845-p74zn   1/1       Running   0          1m
sensu-operator-6444f68845-vpkxj   1/1       Running   0          1m

Usage example

Create your first SensuCluster:

$ kubectl apply -f example/example-sensu-cluster.yaml

From within the cluster, the Sensu cluster agent should now be reachable via:

ws://example-sensu-cluster-agent.default.svc.cluster.local:8081

To reach the Sensu cluster's services via NodePort do:

$ kubectl apply -f example/example-sensu-cluster-service-external.yaml

$ curl -Li http://$(minikube ip):31980/health
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Thu, 21 Jun 2018 14:44:47 GMT
Content-Length: 0

Let's deploy a dummy agent:

$ kubectl apply -f example/dummy-agent-deployment.yaml

The Sensu dashboard (via http://192.168.99.100:31900/default/default/entities) should now show you two entities. 192.168.99.100 is the IP of the Minikube instance and could be different on your system, see minikube ip.

Backup & restore

Setup

Sensu backup and restore operators can be set up to backup and restore the state of a SensuCluster to and from S3.

Deploy the Sensu backup and restore operators:

$ kubectl apply -f example/backup-operator/deployment.yaml
$ kubectl apply -f example/restore-operator/deployment.yaml

Create a S3 bucket and an AWS IAM user with at least the following privileges:

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": "s3:ListAllMyBuckets",
            "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::*"
        },
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": "s3:*",
            "Resource": [
                "arn:aws:s3:::YOUR_BUCKET",
                "arn:aws:s3:::YOUR_BUCKET/*"
            ]
        }
    ]
}

Create AWS S3 credentials like follows:

$ mkdir -p s3creds

$ cat <<EOF >s3creds/credentials
[default]
aws_access_key_id = YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_ID
aws_secret_access_key = YOUR_SECRES_ACCESS_KEY
EOF

$ cat <<EOF >s3creds/config
[default]
region = YOUR_BUCKET_REGION
EOF

$ kubectl create secret generic sensu-backups-aws-secret --from-file s3creds/credentials --from-file s3creds/config

Backup

The create-backup helper script can be used to create backups:

$ ./example/backup-operator/create-backup --aws-bucket-name=YOUR_BUCKET --backup-name=sensu-cluster-backup-$(date +%s)
Backup of cluster 'example-sensu-cluster' with backup named 'sensu-cluster-backup-1529593491'
sensubackup.sensu.io "sensu-cluster-backup-1529593491" created

Restore

To restore the state of a SensuCluster

  • deploy a new clean SensuCluster and
  • use the restore-backup helper script to restore a previously created backup.

For example:

$ kubectl apply -f example/example-sensu-cluster.yaml

$ ./example/restore-operator/restore-backup --cluster-name=example-sensu-cluster --aws-bucket-name=YOUR_BUCKET --backup-name=sensu-cluster-backup-1529593491
Restore of cluster 'example-sensu-cluster' with backup named 'sensu-cluster-backup-1529593491'
sensurestore.sensu.io "example-sensu-cluster" created

If everything went well, delete the SensuRestore resource, e.g.:

kubectl delete sensurestore example-sensu-cluster

Testing

For example, to run the e2e tests (PASSES="e2e"):

$ minikube start --kubernetes-version v1.10.0
$ eval $(minikube docker-env)
$ make
$ ./example/rbac/create-role
$ KUBECONFIG=~/.kube/config \
  OPERATOR_IMAGE=sensu/sensu-operator:v0.0.1 \
  TEST_NAMESPACE=default \
  TEST_AWS_SECRET=sensu-backups-aws-secret \
  TEST_S3_BUCKET=sensu-backup-test \
  PASSES="e2e" \
  ./hack/test
