About Deploying into Kubernetes

Helm is the recommended package manager for deploying Offline Mediation Controller cloud native services into Kubernetes. A Helm chart is a collection of files that describe a set of Kubernetes resources. It includes YAML template descriptors for all Kubernetes resources and a values.yaml file that provides default configuration values for the chart.

The Offline Mediation Controller cloud native deployment package includes oc-cn-ocomc-helm-chart-12.0.0.x.0.tgz.

When you install the Helm chart, it generates valid Kubernetes manifest files by replacing default values from values.yaml with custom values from override-values.yaml, and creates Kubernetes resources. Helm calls this a new release. You use the release name to track and maintain this installation.

Extracting the Helm Chart

Before you install Offline Mediation Controller cloud native services, extract the Oracle Communications Cloud Native Helm chart. To do so, enter this command:

tar xvzf oc-cn-ocomc-helm-chart-12.0.0.x.0.tgz

Automatically Pulling Images from Private Docker Registries

You can automatically pull images from your private Docker registry by creating an ImagePullSecrets, which contains a list of authorization tokens (or Secrets) for accessing a private Docker registry. You then add references to the ImagePullSecrets in your Offline Mediation Controller Helm chart's override-values.yaml file. This allows pods to submit the Secret to the private Docker registry whenever they want to pull images.

Automatically pulling images from a private Docker registry involves these high-level steps:

  1. Create a Secret outside of the Helm chart by entering this command:

    kubectl create secret docker-registry SecretName --docker-server=RegistryServer --docker-username=UserName --docker-password=Password -n NameSpace

    where:

    • SecretName is the name of your Kubernetes Secret.

    • RegistryServer is the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of your private Docker registry (repoHost:repoPort).

    • UserName and Password are the user name and password for your private Docker registry.

    • NameSpace is the name space you will use for installing the Offline Mediation Controller Helm chart.

    For example:

    kubectl create secret docker-registry my-docker-registry --docker-server=example.com:2660/ --docker-username=xyz --docker-password=password -n oms

  2. Add the imagePullSecrets key to your override-values.yaml file for oc-cn-ocomc-helm-chart: 

    imagePullSecrets: SecretName

  3. Add the ocomc.imageRepository key to your override-values.yaml file: 

    imageRepository: "RegistryServer"

  4. Deploy oc-cn-ocomc-helm-chart.

Automatically Rolling Deployments by Using Annotations

Whenever a ConfigMap entry or a Secret file is modified, you must restart its associated pod. This updates the container's configuration, but the application is notified about the configuration updates only if the pod's deployment specification has changed. Thus, a container could be using the new configuration, while the application keeps running with its old configuration.

You can configure a pod to automatically notify an application when a Container's configuration has changed. To do so, configure a pod to automatically update its deployment specification whenever a ConfigMap or Secret file changes by using the sha256sum function. Add an annotations section similar to this one to the pod's deployment specification: 

kind: Deployment
spec:
  template:
    metadata:
      annotations:
        checksum/config: {{ include (print $.Template.BasePath "/configmap.yaml") . | sha256sum }}

For more information, see Chart Development Tips and Tricks in the Helm documentation (https://helm.sh/docs/howto/charts_tips_and_tricks/#automatically-roll-deployments).

About the Offline Mediation Controller Pods

Table 3-1 lists the PersistentVolumeClaims (PVCs) used by the Offline Mediation Controller server.

Table 3-1 List of PVCs in Offline Mediation Controller Server

PVC Name Default Pod Internal File System

admin-server-pvc

OMC_home/config/adminserver

node-manager-pvc

OMC_home

vol-keystore

/home/ocomcuser/keystore

vol-data

/home/ocomcuser/data

vol-external

/home/ocomcuser/ext

vol-suspense

/home/ocomcuser/suspense

To share these PVCs between Offline Mediation Controller pods, you must use a persistent volume provisioner that:

  • Provides ReadWriteMany access and sharing between the pods.

  • Mounts all external volumes with a user (ocomcuser) that has a UID and GID of 1000 and that has full permissions.

  • Has its volume reclaim policy set to avoid data and configuration loss in a mounted file system.

  • Is configured to share data, external KeyStore volumes, and wallets between Offline Mediation Controller pods and the Administration Client.

You must place all CDR files inside the vol-data PVC and then configure the internal file system path of the vol-data PVC in your Administration Client. All CDRs must have read and write permission for the ocomcuser user.

You must place all necessary third-party and cartridge JAR files in a 3pp and cartridges directory inside the vol-external PVC, and then restart the pods. After the PVC is mounted, these cartridges will be available in each pod at /home/ocomcuser/ext/3pp and /home/ocomcuser/ext/cartridges.

The Offline Mediation Controller wallet files will be created and used through the shared vol-keystore PVC.

ECE-related configuration inside the UDCEnvironment file for the Administration Client must refer to the internal path of the pod.

Inside deployment templates, nodeSelector can be set in the pod's specification with the worker node having mounted PVC and the Administration Client installed.

Configuring Offline Mediation Controller Services

The Offline Mediation Controller Helm chart (oc-cn-ocomc-helm-chart) configures and deploys all of your product services. YAML descriptors in the oc-cn-ocomc-helm-chart/templates directory use the oc-cn-ocomc-helm-chart/values.yaml file for most of the values. You can override the values by creating an override-values.yaml file.

Table 3-2 lists the keys that directly impact Offline Mediation Controller services. Add these keys to your override-values.yaml file with the same path hierarchy.

Note:

  • If you are using a Windows-based client, the adminsvrIp, nmExternalPort, adminsvrExternalPort, and adminsvrFirewallPort keys must be set. To connect with the Windows-based client, use external services with a NodePort type. In this case, the adminsvrIp will be the worker node IP. Restart the pod after setting adminsvrIp.

  • If graphical desktop support such as VNC is available on a worker node, the client can be installed on the same worker node in which Administration Server and Node Manager pods are running. In this case, set the service type to ClusterIP and do not set the nmExternalPort, adminsvrExternalPort, and adminsvrFirewallPort keys.

Deploying Offline Mediation Controller Services

To deploy Offline Mediation Controller services on your cloud native environment, do this:

Note:

To integrate the Offline Mediation Controller cloud native deployment with the ECE and BRM cloud native deployments, they must use the same name space.

  1. Validate the content of your charts by entering this command from the helmcharts directory: 

    helm lint --strict oc-cn-ocomc-helm-chart

    You'll see this if the command completes successfully:

    1 chart(s) linted, no failures

  2. Run the helm install command from the helmcharts directory: 

    helm install ReleaseName oc-cn-ocomc-helm-chart --namespace NameSpace --values OverrideValuesFile

    where:

    • ReleaseName is the release name, which is used to track this installation instance.

    • NameSpace is the name space in which to create Offline Mediation Controller Kubernetes objects. To integrate the Offline Mediation Controller cloud native deployment with the ECE and BRM cloud native deployments, they must use the same name space.

    • OverrideValuesFile is the path to a YAML file that overrides the default configurations in the chart's values.yaml file.

    For example, if the override-values.yaml file is in the helmcharts directory, the command for installing Offline Mediation Controller cloud native services would be: 

    helm install ocomc oc-cn-ocomc-helm-chart --namespace ocgbu --values override-values.yaml
