soajs.core.drivers

SOAJS Core Drivers is a repository that serves as a driver to both "Docker Swarm" and "Kubernetes" clustering

and scheduling tools. The driver contains several APIs responsible for the management of the cluster, nodes,

services, and tasks. Examples of such APIs include, but are not limited to, service deployment node/service/task

deployment/deletion/update/inspection, in addition to maintenance operations, and logging.

Installation

$ npm install soajs.core.drivers

Usage

Each strategy function takes an options object and callback function as input. The options object is composed of the following:

{
	"strategy": "kubernetes", //swarm or kubernetes
	"driver": "kubernetes.local", //strategy + target (local or remote)
	"env": "dev", //environment from where the deployer config was retrieved
	"deployerConfig": { //object that contains the specific configuration per driver
      //sample kubernetes deployer config
		"nginxDeployType": "NodePort",
		"namespace": {
			"default": "soajs",
			"perService": false
		},
		"auth": {
			"token": "123321"
		}
	},
	"soajs": {
		"registry": {} //soajs registry object, no longer mandatory
	},
	"model": {}, //data model layer, no longer mandatory
	"params": {} //user input specific per function
}

Service Features

The SOAJS Core Drivers contains several APIs to manage the Kubernetes cluster and/or Docker swarm:

• Node management APIs: Add/Update/Remove/Inspect.
• Service management APIs: Add/Update/Remove/Inspect/Redeploy.
• Task management APIs: Add/Update/Remove/Inspect/.
• Maintenance APIs.
• Logging APIs.

Architecture

The "index.js" file serves as an entry point. Once it receives a request, the file redirects the request into the designated strategy.

Each strategy, located in the /strategies directory, serves as an entry point, of every requesting targeting one of its APIs.

The APIs of each strategy are divided into two files, located in the /strategyFunctions directory. One file contains all the APIs

concerned with node management. The other file contains all the remaining APIs.

Control Flow

The repository was designed in a way to maximize the scalability of the code, while minimizing the coding efforts.

Below is an explanation of the control flow, all the way from the entry point, into the designated API.

Once a request arrives, the "index.js" file captures the request, checks if the targeted strategy exists.

If it exists, it checks if the requested API exists. Once the validation is complete, the request is redirected

to the requested strategy file, which in turn redirects the request to the file containing the destined API.

Warning

• If running the test cases, make sure you have kubectl installed locally.
• If running the test cases on OS X, after starting minikube, start a kubectl proxy instance on port 8080 and export SOAJS_TEST_KUBE_PORT environment variable.

export SOAJS_TEST_KUBE_PORT=8080
kubectl proxy -p 8080

• Running the test cases will delete all previous docker services and containers.
