Armada

Docker Repository on Quay Build Status Doc Status

A python orchestrator for a installing, upgrading, and managing a collection of helm charts, dependencies, and values overrides.

Note that this project is pre-alpha and under active development. It may undergo drastic changes to support the long-term vision but contributions are welcome.

Overview

The armada python library and command line tool provides a way to synchronize a helm (tiller) target with an operators intended state, consisting of several charts, dependencies, and overrides using a single file or directory with a collection of files. This allows operators to define many charts, potentially with different namespaces for those releases, and their overrides in a central place. With a single command, deploy and/or upgrade them where applicable.

Armada also supports fetching helm chart source and then building charts from source from various local and remote locations, such as git/github endpoints. In the future, it may supprot other mechanisms as well.

It will also give the operator some indication of what is about to change by assisting with diffs for both values, values overrides, and actual template changes.

Its functionality may extend beyond helm, assisting in interacting with kubernetes directly to perform basic pre and post steps, such as removing completed or failed jobs, running backup jobs, blocking on chart readiness, or deleting resources that do not support upgrades. However, primarily, it will be an interface to support orchestrating Helm.

Running Armada

To use this container, use these simple instructions:

docker run -d --name armada -p 8000:8000 -v ~/.kube/config:/root/.kube/config -v $(pwd)/examples/:/examples -v /tmp:/dev/log quay.io/attcomdev/armada:latest

Manual Install

If you want to build the docker image, follow these steps:

docker build . -t <namespace>/armada
docker run -d --name armada -p 8000:8000 -v ~/.kube/config:/root/.kube/config -v $(pwd)/examples/:/examples <namespace>/armada

Installation

The installation is fairly straight forward:

Recomended Enviroment: Ubuntu 16.04

Installing Dependecies:

you can run:

  • tox testenv:ubuntu or sudo sh scripts/libgit2.sh
  • sudo pip install -r requirements.txt

NOTE: If you want to use virtualenv please refer to pygit2

Installing armada:

sudo pip install -e .

armada [-h | --help]

Using Armada

Before using armada we need to check a few things:

  1. you have a properly configure ~/.kube/config
    • kubectl config view
    • If it does not exist, you can create it using kubectl
  2. Check that you have a running Tiller
    • kubectl get pods -n kube-system

To run armada, simply supply it with your YAML based intention for any number of charts:

$ aramda apply examples/armada.yaml [--debug ]

Your output will look something like this:

$ armada apply examples/armada.yaml 2017-02-10 09:42:36,753
