Simple example to build a custom docker image, debug it, and run it in a kubernetes job.
make
A docker hub account
A kubernetes configuration file for your cluster (in ~/.kube/config)
Clone this repo and change into its directory:
git clone https://github.com/rcurrie/kubernetes.git
cd kubernetes
Build a custom image with run.py in it:
$ make build
# Build custom docker image
docker build -f Dockerfile -t rcurrie-ubuntu .

Run the image in a container locally:
$ make run
# Run the image in a container locally
docker run -it --rm \
rcurrie-ubuntu -c 3 foobar

Calculating magic on block 1 from file foobar
Calculating magic on block 2 from file foobar
Push your image to docker hub so it is accessible to the cluster:
$ DOCKERHUB_ACCOUNT=<your docker hub account> make push
# Push our image to dockerhub for running in k8s
docker tag rcurrie-ubuntu robcurrie/ubuntu
docker push robcurrie/ubuntu
The push refers to repository [docker.io/robcurrie/ubuntu]

Run the image in a container in a kubernetes job:
$ DOCKERHUB_ACCOUNT=robcurrie make run-job
# Run a kubernetes job with our image, prefix with USERNAME and timestamp
TS=`date +"%Y%m%d-%H%M%S"` envsubst < job.yml | kubectl create -f -
job.batch/rcurrie-20190904-171803 created
List all the jobs in the namespace:
$ kubectl get jobs
NAME COMPLETIONS DURATION AGE
rcurrie-20190904-171803 0/1 17s 17s
Tail the log output from the job
$ kubectl logs -f rcurrie-20190904-171803-dwkst
Performing magic block 0 from foobar
Performing magic block 1 from foobar
...
NOTE: You can view the logs of completed jobs as well as running jobs
Run the image in a docker container on your local machine with the local run.py mapped and shell into it:
$ make debug
# Run our image with the local version of the app and shell into it
docker run -it --rm \
-v `pwd`:/app \
--user=`id -u`:`id -g` \
--entrypoint /bin/bash \
rcurrie-ubuntu
groups: cannot find name for group ID 2000
I have no name!@afa68a3595b2:/app$ python3 run.py foobar
Calculating magic on block 0 from foobar
Calculating magic on block 1 from foobar
...
Changing run.py will show up in the container immediately as its a mapped file which is handy for editing externally and running in the container locally by exec'ing /bin/bash. The benefit of this pattern is all your dependencies are in the container isolated from the host operating system and codified in the image - if it works locally it will likely work somewhere else.
REMINDER: Before running in a cluster remember to build and push the container so that the edited run.py is updated. For more dynamic configuration you can customize the command and args in job.yml or have the job itself pull code or configuration from somewhere else. For example this script pulls a jupyter notebook specified in args into a job from s3, runs it, and pushes it back to s3.
Build, push and launch the image in a job all at once:
$ DOCKERHUB_ACCOUNT=<your dockerhub account> make build push run-job
# Build custom docker image
docker build -f Dockerfile -t rcurrie-ubuntu .

job.batch/rcurrie-20190905-062754 created
Shell into a job running in the cluster:
$ kubectl exec -it rcurrie-20190904-172125-2cm78 /bin/bash
root@rcurrie-20190904-172125-2cm78:/app# ps -A
PID TTY TIME CMD
1 ? 00:00:00 python3
8 pts/0 00:00:00 bash
23 pts/0 00:00:00 ps
Do you see the symmetry with docker running local?
Delete all your jobs (prefixed with your username by make run-job):
make delete-my-jobs
NOTE: This will stop and delete any running jobs as well as the logs from previous jobs
Add:
source <(kubectl completion bash)
to your ~/.bash_profile for tab completion of job names
The job.yml specifies a shared secret that has been configured in the namespace already. The aws cli is installed in the image and as a result you can use aws cli and/or boto3 when shelled into the container or in run.py:
root@rcurrie-20190909-173419-kvwft:/app# aws s3 ls s3://vg-k8s

This repo demonstrates core close to the metal kubernetes and jobs. There are many other job patterns as well as a plethora of higher level frameworks that support kubernetes such as snakemake, nextflow, kubeflow, pachyderm and polyaxon.
Set the KUBECONFIG environment variable to a colon separated list of all your config files. You can then switch clusters in a stateful way via
kubectl config use-context <context name>
To automatically reference all config files with the suffix .config add the following to your ~/.bash_profile:
export KUBECONFIG=`find $HOME/.kube/ -name "*.config" -printf "%p:"`
You can create your own set of cluster and namespaces which will be integrated automatically by kubectl letting you switch and set both at once. See configuring access to multiple clusters for more details.
