ci-vm-operator

This controller manages the lifecycle of virtual machines in Google Compute Engine. A request for a new virtual machine can be made by POSTing a new VirtualMachine:

apiVersion: ci.openshift.io/v1alpha1
kind: VirtualMachine
metadata:
  name: my-virtual-machine
spec:
  machineType: n1-standard-1
  bootDisk:
    imageFamily: compute/v1/projects/centos-cloud/global/images/family/centos-6
    sizeGb: 25
    type: pd-standard

The controller will instantiate the virtual machine in GCE and expose connection details by creating a secret in the namespace of the VirtualMachine object with the same name. A machine-local SSH key pair will be exposed in the id_rsa and id_rsa.pub fields, while connection information for use with ssh will be exposed in the ssh_config field:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: my-virtual-machine
  ownerReferences:
  - apiVersion: v1alpha1
    kind: virtualmachine.ci.openshift.io
    name: my-virtual-machine
type: Opaque
data:
  id_rsa: LS0tLS1CRUdJTiBSU0EgUFJJVk...
  id_rsa.pub: c3NoLXJzYSBBQUFBQjNOem...
  ssh_config: SG9zdCBza3V6bmV0cy10ZX...

Deleting the VirtualMachine object will trigger deletion of the virtual machine in GCE. A finalizer is used to ensure that all resources in GCE are cleaned up before the record of the VirtualMachine is removed from etcd.

Deployment

Deployment of these components requires system:admin level control, as it includes the creation of cluster-level resources like the VirtualMachine CustomResourceDefinition. To deploy, run:

CI_VM_OPERATOR_GCE_CREDENTIALS_JSON=/path/to/credentials.json make deploy

On creation, a mutating admission controller adds the finalizer to each VirtualMachine object; on updates a validating admission controller ensures that the spec is not changed. In order for these to function, the API server must be set up to enable dynamic admission control through webhooks. In master-config.yaml, set:

admissionConfig:
  pluginConfig:
    MutatingAdmissionWebhook:
      configuration:
        apiVersion: v1
        kind: DefaultAdmissionConfig
    ValidatingAdmissionWebhook:
      configuration:
        apiVersion: v1
        kind: DefaultAdmissionConfig
