Addon Operator is an OSD operator that orchestrates the lifecycle of Addons and is an integral part of the Addons Flow architecture.

Addon Operator is a subscriber of Boilerplate and derives most of the standardized artifacts from Boilerplate's openshift/golang-osd-operator convention.

All operator related manifests reside in the deploy folder of the repository. These are all production-grade manifests.

All development tooling can be accessed via make, use make help to get an overview of all supported targets.

To contribute new features or add/run tests, podman or docker and the go tool chain need to be present on the system.

Dependencies are loaded as required and are kept local to the project in the .cache directory and you can setup or update all dependencies via make dependencies

A few dependencies, namely controller-gen, golangci-lint etc. with standardized versions are inherited from the Boilerplate convention.

Updating dependency versions at the top of the Makefile will automatically update the dependencies when they are required.

If both docker and podman are present you can explicitly force the container runtime by setting CONTAINER_RUNTIME.

e.g.:

CONTAINER_RUNTIME=docker make dev-setup

Before making your first commit, please consider installing pre-commit and run pre-commit install in the project directory.

Pre-commit is running some basic checks for every commit and makes our code reviews easier and prevents wasting CI resources.

While you can run make targets locally during development to test your code changes. However, differences in platforms and environments may lead to unpredictable results. Therefore Boilerplate provides a utility to run targets in a container environment that is designed to be as similar as possible to CI.

• To generate the CRDs via Boilerplate's standardized controller-gen version:

make container-generate

• To run linters via Boilerplate's standardized golangci-lint version:

make container-lint

Just wanting to play with the operator deployed on a cluster?

# In checkout directory:
make test-setup

This command will:

1. Setup a cluster via kind
2. Install OLM and OpenShift Console
3. Compile your checkout
4. Build containers
5. Load them into the kind cluster (no registry needed)
6. Install the Addon Operator

This will give you a quick environment for playing with the operator.

You can also use it to develop integration tests, against a complete setup of the Addon Operator:

# edit tests

# Run all integration tests and skip setup and teardown,
# as the operator is already installed by: make test-setup
make test-integration-short

# repeat!

If you want to setup the cluster, install the operator and run integration tests all in one go, then use the target:

make test-integration-local

The make tooling offers the following flags to tweak your local in-cluster installation of the AddonOperator:

• ENABLE_WEBHOOK=true/false - Deploy the AddonOperator webhook server that runs Admission webhooks.
• WEBHOOK_PORT=<PORT> - Port to use while running the webhook server
• ENABLE_API_MOCK=true/false - Deploy the mock OCM API server for testing and validating the UpgradePolicy flow
• ENABLE_MONITORING=true/false - Deploy the kube-prometheus monitoring stack for adding / testing AddonOperator metrics

To iterate fast on code changes and experiment, the operator can also run out-of-cluster. This way we don't have to rebuild images, load them into the cluster and redeploy the operator for every code change.

Prepare the environment:

make dev-setup

This command will:

1. Setup a cluster via kind
2. Install OLM and OpenShift Console

# Install Addon Operator CRDs
# into the cluster.
make setup-addon-operator-crds

# Make sure we run against the new kind cluster.
export KUBECONFIG=$PWD/.cache/dev-env/kubeconfig.yaml

# Set Addon operator namespace environment variable
export ADDON_OPERATOR_NAMESPACE=openshift-addon-operator

# Run the operator out-of-cluster:
# Mind your `KUBECONFIG` environment variable!
make run-addon-operator-manager

The bundle folder reflects the Addon Operator's OLM bundle.

To generate the OLM bundle, run:

make generate-bundle

As a developer, each time you modify the operator manifest(s) that reside in the deploy folder make sure you generate a new bundle to generate the CSV with the manifest updates.

Note: This bundle is only intended for use with Prow CI to install the operator and run the end-to-end tests against a commit. This is not deployed to production. For production, we leverage bundle manifests that reside in app-interface that is dynamically generated in the continuous integration pipeline.

We can run all the unit tests and mock tests locally. This way we can test the testable parts of the operator, individually and independently for proper operation.

# To run all the unit tests and mock tests
make test-unit

Warning:

• Your code runs as cluster-admin, you might run into permission errors when running in-cluster.
• Code-Generators need to be re-run and CRDs re-applied via make setup-addon-operator-crds when code under ./api is changed.

The Addon Operator is instrumented with the prometheus-client provided by controller-runtime to record some useful Addon metrics.

See Quickstart for instructions on how to setup a local monitoring stack for development / testing.

The Addon Operator metrics can be exposed locally by port forwarding the addon-operator-metrics service which allows users to access the service running inside a Kubernetes cluster from their local machine.

• Run Addon Operator locally:

export ENABLE_MONITORING=true

make test-setup

• Ensure you have the KUBECONFIG environment variable setup:

export KUBECONFIG=/.cache/dev-env/kubeconfig.yaml

• Forward traffic from port 8443 on the addon-operator-metrics service:

kubectl port-forward service/addon-operator-metrics -n addon-operator 8443:8443

• Fetch the metrics:

curl -k http://localhost:8443/metrics

Addon Operator releasing/deployment are fully automated in integration and staging environments.

Once a pull request is merged, the operator & OLM registry images are built and pushed via the CI followed by which a new OLM bundle is generated.

A new version of the operator is progressively deployed into integration & staging on every pull request merge.

Addon Operator continuous deployment is orchestrated via Red Hat AppSRE's proprietary component app-interface.

Set nf_conntrack_max

When using docker to spin a new Kind cluster, kube-proxy would not start throwing this error:

I0511 11:47:28.965997       1 conntrack.go:100] Set sysctl 'net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_max' to XXXXXX
F0511 11:47:28.966114       1 server.go:495] open /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_max: permission denied

Make sure to: sudo sysctl net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_max=<value>, and add a drop-in file to /etc/sysctl.d/99-custom.conf to set the kernel parameters permanently.
