Introduction

DCAE Platform in Dublin release supports new feature to deploy components via helm chart. This is enabled by integrating Cloudify Helm Cloudify plugin into Cloudify Manager instance DCAE-Platform uses to deploy other required services. The cloudify Helm plugin itself is under CCSDK project delivered part of Casablanca. For Dublin, this plugin has been integrated into DCAE ONAP deployment. Any chart available under chart rep-url specified as configuration input can be deployed.

Dublin Scope

The helm plugin was intended to support deployment scenario of stand-alone application similar to capability offered under OOM. With this plugin integration, any charts packaged under ONAP OOM can be deployed through DCAE platform in ONAP. This provides an opportunity for operators to use a single orchestration through Cloudify for deploying both Helm and Toscal TOSCA work flows if required.

As all DCAE MS currently are TOSCA work flow based, the helm plugin is not used for DCAE component deployment.

Pre-Configuration Steps

Helm needs to be installed on the CM pod

...

Code Block

language	bash
theme	Midnight

kubectl edit svc -n kube-system tiller-deploy -o yaml
# Assign an unused nodeport available in cluster

#After update K8S svc definition should reflect the node port assigned
#verify node port assignment 

kubectl get svc --all-namespaces | grep tiller
kube-system   tiller-deploy             ClusterIP      10.43.218.97   <none>                                44134/TCP                       5d

Installation

Modify the blueprint templates

Code Block

language	bash
theme	Midnight

kubectl exec -it -n onap <dcae-bootstrap pod> /bin/bash
cd blueprints
ls k8s-helm.yaml k8s-helm-override.yaml
# Helm Blueprint templates are available under this directory
# Verify and update the blueprint parameters if required 
# Create a corresponding input files

Note: Explanation of parameters are documented under CCSDK wiki page : Introduction of Helm Plugin.

Validate and Upload the blueprint into CM

Code Block

language	bash
theme	Midnight

cfy blueprints validate  
cfy blueprints upload -b k8s-helm-test /blueprints/k8s-helm.yaml

Deploy the blueprint

Code Block

language	bash
theme	Midnight

cfy deployments create -b k8s-helm-test k8s-helm-test
cfy executions start -d k8s-helm-test install

Validation

Code Block

language	bash
theme	Midnight

# Verify if new NS identified in blueprint configuration is created
kubectl get ns

# Verify if required component was deployed 
kubectl get pods -n <ns specified>

Future Enhancement

Support Tiller clusterIP/port as option instead of nodeport alone for tiller.
Support deployment on existing names spaces
Logging enhancements (deployment errors if any to be captured also)
