Kubernetes Operator for µONOS

This project provides a set of Kubernetes operators for managing components of the µONOS architecture. µONOS operators extend the Kubernetes API with custom resources and integrate µONOS subsystems with the Kubernetes control plane.

To install the µONOS operator:

> kubectl create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/onosproject/onos-operator/master/deploy/onos-operator.yaml
customresourcedefinition.apiextensions.k8s.io/models.config.onosproject.org created
customresourcedefinition.apiextensions.k8s.io/modelregistries.config.onosproject.org created
customresourcedefinition.apiextensions.k8s.io/services.topo.onosproject.org created
customresourcedefinition.apiextensions.k8s.io/entities.topo.onosproject.org created
customresourcedefinition.apiextensions.k8s.io/relations.topo.onosproject.org created
customresourcedefinition.apiextensions.k8s.io/kinds.topo.onosproject.org created
serviceaccount/onos-operator created
clusterrole.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/onos-operator created
clusterrolebinding.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/onos-operator created
deployment.apps/config-operator created
mutatingwebhookconfiguration.admissionregistration.k8s.io/config-operator created
service/config-operator created
deployment.apps/topo-operator created
configmap/onos-operator-config created

The operator consists of a topo-operator pod and a config-operator pod which will be installed in the kube-system namespace by default.

> kubectl get pods -n kube-system
NAME                                         READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
config-operator-56dc64df8d-8xwkm             1/1     Running   0          25s
topo-operator-6f555cb86-b94kp                1/1     Running   0          24s

Topology operator

The topology operator extends the Kubernetes API with custom resources for defining µONOS topology objects. Topology resources are propagated from the Kubernetes API to the onos-topo service via the onos-api. When a topology resource is created, the topology operator adds the object to µONOS topology. When a topology resource is deleted, the operator will remove the associated object from the µONOS topology.

Kind

To define a topology object kind, create a Kind resource:

apiVersion: topo.onosproject.org/v1beta1
kind: Kind
metadata:
  name: e2-node
spec:
  attributes:
    foo: bar

Entity

To define a topology entity, create an Entity resource:

apiVersion: topo.onosproject.org/v1beta1
kind: Entity
metadata:
  name: e2-node-1
spec:
  kind:
    name: e2-node
  attributes:
    baz: foo

Relation

To define a topology relation, create a Relation resource connecting a source and target entity:

apiVersion: topo.onosproject.org/v1beta1
kind: Relation
metadata:
  name: e2-node-1-e2t-1
spec:
  kind:
    name: e2-connection
  source:
    name: e2-node-1
  target:
    name: e2t-1

Dynamic topology management

The topology operator supports dynamic entity sets with Kubernetes label selectors using the Service resource:

apiVersion: topo.onosproject.org/v1beta1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: my-app
spec:
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      name: my-app
  kind:
    name: my-app-node

The operator will automatically populate the µONOS topology with an entity for each pod matching the service's label selector. This allows dynamic/autoscaling Kubernetes components like ReplicaSets to be represented as dynamic objects in the µONOS topology.

Config operator

The config operator extends the Kubernetes API, adding a custom Model resource for defining config (YANG) models. The config operator automatically injects configured Model resources into onos-config pods, compiling plugins on the fly.

apiVersion: config.onosproject.org/v1beta1
kind: Model
metadata:
  name: ric
spec:
  plugin:
    type: ric
    version: 1.0.0
  modules:
  - name: test1
