Solgate

License Python version Latest release PyPI Quay.io

Yet another data sync pipelines job runner.

A CLI utility that is expected to be automated via container native workflow engines like Argo or Tekton.

Installation

pip install solgate

Configuration

Solgate relies on a configuration file that holds all the information required to fully perform the synchronization. This config file is expected to be of a YAML format and it should contain following keys:

  • source key. Value to this key specifies where the data are sourced from.
  • destinations key. It's value is expected to be an array for locations. Their purpose is to define sync destinations.
  • other top level keys for a general configuration that is not specific to a single location.

General config section

All configuration in this section is optional. Use this section if you'd like to modify the default behavior. Default values are denoted below:

alerts_smtp_server: smtp.corp.redhat.com
alerts_from: solgate-alerts@redhat.com
alerts_to: dev-null@redhat.com
timedelta: 1d

Description:

  • alerts_smtp_server, alerts_from, alerts_to are used for email alerting only
  • timedelta defines a time window in which the objects in the source bucket must have been modified, to be eligible fo the bucket listing. Only files modified no later than timedelta from now are included.

Source key

source:
  aws_access_key_id: KEY_ID
  aws_secret_access_key: SECRET
  base_path: DH-PLAYPEN/storage/input # at least the bucket name is required, sub path within this bucket is optional
  endpoint_url: https://s3.amazonaws.com # optional, defaults to s3.amazonaws.com
  formatter: "{date}/{collection}.{ext}" # optional, defaults to None

If the formatter is not set, no repartitioning is expected to happen and the S3 object key is left intact, same as it is in the source bucket (within the base_path context). Specifying the formatter in the source section only, doesn't result in repartitioning of all object by itself, only those destinations that also have this option specified are eligible for object key modifications.

Destinations key

destinations:
  - aws_access_key_id: KEY_ID
    aws_secret_access_key: SECRET
    base_path: DH-PLAYPEN/storage/output # at least the bucket name is required, sub path within this bucket is optional
    endpoint_url: https://s3.upshift.redhat.com # optional, defaults to s3.upshift.redhat.com
    formatter: "{date}/{collection}.{ext}" # optional, defaults to None
    unpack: yes # optional, defaults to False/no

The endpoint_url defaults to a different value for destination compared to source section. This is due to the usual data origin and safe destination host.

If the formatter is not set, no repartitioning is expected to happen and the S3 object key is left intact, same as it is in the source bucket (within the base_path context). If repartitioning is desired, the formatter string must be defined in the source section as well - otherwise object name can't be parsed properly from the source S3 object key.

unpack option specifies if the gunzipped archives should be unpacked during the transfer. The .gz suffix is automatically dropped from the resulting object key, no matter if the repartitioning is on or off. Switching this option on results in weaker object validation, since the implicit metadata checksum and size checks can't be used to verify the file integrity.

Separate credentials into different files

In case you don't feel like inlining aws_access_key_id, aws_secret_access_key in plaintext into the config file is a good idea, you can separate these credentials into their distict files. If the credentials keys are not found (inlined) in the config, solgate tries to locate them in the config folder (the same folder as the main config file is located).

The credentials file is expected to contain following:

aws_access_key_id: KEY_ID
aws_secret_access_key: SECRET

For source the expected filename is source.creds.yaml, for destinations destination.X.creds.yaml where X is the index in the destinations list in the main config file. For destinations we allow credentials sharing, therefore if destination.X.creds.yaml is not located, solgate tries to load destination.creds.yaml (not indexed).

Full example

Let's have this file structure in our /etc/solgate:

$ tree /etc/solgate
/etc/solgate
├── config.yaml
├── destination.0.creds.yaml
├── destination.creds.yaml
└── source.creds.yaml

And a main config file /etc/solgate/config.yaml looking like this:

source:
  base_path: DH-PLAYPEN/storage/input

destinations:
  - base_path: DH-PLAYPEN/storage/output0 # idx=0

  - base_path: DH-PLAYPEN/storage/output1 # idx=1

  - base_path: DH-PLAYPEN/storage/output2 # idx=2
    aws_access_key_id: KEY_ID
    aws_secret_access_key: SECRET

Solgate will use these credentials:

  • For source the source.creds.yaml is read, because no credentials are inlined
  • For destination idx=0 the destination.0.creds.yaml is used, because no credentials are inlined
  • For destination idx=1 the destination.creds.yaml is used, because no credentials are inlined and there's no destination.1.creds.yaml file
  • For destination idx=2 the inlined credentials are used

The resolution priority:

type priority
source inlined > source.creds.yaml
destination inlined > destination.INDEX.creds.yaml > destination.creds.yaml

Example config file

Here's a full configuration file example, all together.

alerts_smtp_server: smtp.corp.redhat.com
alerts_from: solgate-alerts@redhat.com
alerts_to: dev-null@redhat.com
timedelta: 1d

source:
  aws_access_key_id: KEY_ID
  aws_secret_access_key: SECRET
  endpoint_url: https://s3.upshift.redhat.com
  formatter: "{date}/{collection}.{ext}"
  base_path: DH-PLAYPEN/storage/input

destinations:
  - aws_access_key_id: KEY_ID
    aws_secret_access_key: SECRET
    endpoint_url: https://s3.upshift.redhat.com
    formatter: "{collection}/historic/{date}-{collection}.{ext}"
    base_path: DH-PLAYPEN/storage/output

  - aws_access_key_id: KEY_ID
    aws_secret_access_key: SECRET
    endpoint_url: https://s3.upshift.redhat.com
    formatter: "{collection}/latest/full_data.csv"
    base_path: DH-PLAYPEN/storage/output
    unpack: yes

Usage

Solgate is mainly intended for use in automation within Argo Workflows. However it can be also used as a standalone CLI tool for manual transfers and (via extensions) for (TBD) manifest scaffold generation and (TBD) deployed instance monitoring.

List bucket for files ready to be transferred

Before the actual sync can be run, it is required

solgate list
CLI option Config file entry Description
-o Output to a file instead of stdout. Creates a listing file.
timedelta Define a lookup restriction. Only files newer than this value are reported. Defaults to 1 day.

Sync objects

solgate send KEY
CLI option Description
-l, --listing-file A listing file ingested by this command. Format is expected to be the same as solgate list output. If set, the KEY argument is ignored.

Notification service

Send an workflow status alert via email from Argo environment.

Command expects to be passed values matching available Argo variable format as described here.

solgate report

Options can be set either via CLI argument or via environment variable:

  • Options which map to Argo Workflow variables:

    CLI option Environment variable name Value should map to Argo workflow variable Description
    --failures WORKFLOW_FAILURES {{workflow.failures}} JSON serialized into a string listing all the failed workflow nodes
    -n, --name WORKFLOW_NAME {{workflow.name}} Workflow instance name.
    --namespace WORKFLOW_NAMESPACE {{workflow.namespace}} Project namespace where the workflow was executed.
    -s, --status WORKFLOW_STATUS {{workflow.status}} Current status of the workflow execution.
    -t, --timestamp WORKFLOW_TIMESTAMP {{workflow.creationTimestamp}} Workflow execution timestamp.
  • Options which map to config file entries. Priority order:

    CLI option > Environment variable > Config file entry > Default value
    CLI option Environment variable name Config file entry Description
    --from ALERT_SENDER alerts_from Email alert sender address. Defaults to solgate-alerts@redhat.com.
    --to ALERT_RECIPIENT alerts_to Email alert recipient address. Defaults to data-hub-alerts@redhat.com.
    --smtp SMTP_SERVER alerts_smtp_server SMTP server URL. Defaults to smtp.corp.redhat.com.
  • Other:

    CLI option Environment variable name Description
    --host ARGO_UI_HOST Argo UI external facing hostname.

Workflow manifests

Additionally to the solgate package this repository also features deployment manifests in the manifests folder. The current implementation of Kubernetes manifests relies on Argo, Argo Events and are structured in a Kustomize format. Environments for deployment are specified in the manifests/overlays/ENV_NAME folder.

Each environment features multiple solgate workflow instances. Configuration config.ini file and selected triggers are defined in instance subfolder within the particular environment folder.

Deploy

Environment deployments are expected to be handled via Argo CD in AI-CoE SRE, however it can be done manually as well.

Local prerequisites:

    sops -e -i overlays/ENV_NAME/NEW_INSTANCE_NAME/INSTANCE_NAME.env.yaml

    Please make sure the *.creds.yaml entries in the secret are encrypted.

  5. Create cronwf.yaml with following content, please change the name and config variable value to match the secret above:

    apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
    kind: CronWorkflow
    metadata:
      generateName: solgate-NAME
      name: solgate-NAME
    spec:
      schedule:
      concurrencyPolicy: "Replace"
      workflowSpec:
        arguments:
          parameters:
            - name: config
              value: solgate-NAME
        workflowTemplateRef:
          name: solgate
  6. Update the resource and patch listing in the overlays/ENV_NAME/kustomization.yaml:

    resources:
      - ...
      - ./NEW_INSTANCE_NAME

Backfill

A backfill job ensures processing of all objects in the source bucket. This job assumes none of the objects were processed before and syncs it all potentially overwriting any changes in the destination bucket.

There's a backfill.yaml available to be submitted directly. Please specify the config parameter before submitting. Value must match a name of a Secret config resource for targeted pipeline.

argo submit -p config=solgate-NAME manifests/backfill.yaml

Workflow parameters

CronWorkflow resource defined for each pipeline instance allows you to define 3 parameters:

Parameter Value Required Description
config string yes Define which config secret to mount to pods and pass to the solgate runtime
is-backfil string (boolean in quotes) no If set to true sync all data in the source bucket. Defaults to false
split string (int in quotes) no Define amount of files that is handled by a single sync pod. If there's more files to sync, the pipeline will spin up additional pods. Defaults to 5000
