Test Locally with kind

The steps below can be used for testing on a local environment:

Note: kind, kubectl, and imagebuilder are required.

1. Clone this repository by using git clone.

2. Build the submariner-addon image locally by running make images.

3. Prepare clusters by running make clusters. This will:

   • Create two clusters: cluster1 and cluster2. cluster1 is going to be used as the Hub.
   • Load the local Docker images to the kind cluster cluster1.
   • Deploy the operator-lifecycle-manager
   • Deploy the ClusterManager and submariner-addon on cluster1. This includes the required Hub cluster components.
   • Deploy the Klusterlet on cluster1 and cluster2. This includes the required the managed cluster agents.
   • Join cluster1 and cluster2 to the Hub cluster cluster1, the cluster1 and cluster2 are the managed clusters.

4. Run the demo by issuing make demo. This will:

   • Label the managed clusters with cluster.open-cluster-management.io/clusterset: clusterset1.
   • Create a ClusterSet.
   • Create ManagedClusterAddon on each managed cluster namespaces.
   • Deploy the Submariner Broker on the Hub cluster and the required Submariner components on the managed clusters.
   • Interconnect cluster1 and cluster2 using Submariner.

To delete the kind environment, use make clean.

Test with OCP

Note: minimum supported version is OpenShift 4.4/Kubernetes 1.17

The steps below can be used to test with OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) clusters on AWS:

Setup of Cluster Manager and Klusterlet

1. Prepare 3 OCP clusters (1 Hub cluster and 2 managed clusters) on AWS for Submariner. Please refer to this section for detailed instructions.

2. On the Hub cluster, install Cluster Manager Operator and instance (version >= 0.2.0) from OperatorHub.

3. On the managed clusters, install Klusterlet Operator and instance (version >= 0.2.0) from OperatorHub.

4. Approve the ManagedClusters on the hub cluster.

   $ oc get managedclusters
   $ oc get csr | grep <managedcluster name> | grep Pending
   $ oc adm certificate approve <managedcluster csr>
   

5. Accept the ManagedClusters on the Hub cluster.

   $ oc patch managedclusters <managedcluster name> --type merge --patch '{"spec":{"hubAcceptsClient":true}}'
   

Install the Submariner-addon on the Hub cluster

1. Apply the manifests of submariner-addon.

   $ oc apply -k deploy/config/manifests
   

Setup Submariner on the Hub cluster

1. Create a ManagedClusterSet.

   apiVersion: cluster.open-cluster-management.io/v1beta1
   kind: ManagedClusterSet
   metadata:
     name: pro
   

2. Join the ManagedClusters into the ManagedClusterSet.

   $ oc label managedclusters <managedcluster name> "cluster.open-cluster-management.io/clusterset=pro" --overwrite
   

3. Create a ManagedClusterAddon in the managed cluster namespace to deploy the Submariner on the managed cluster.

   apiVersion: addon.open-cluster-management.io/v1alpha1
   kind: ManagedClusterAddOn
   metadata:
     name: submariner
     namespace: <managedcluster name>
   spec:
     installNamespace: submariner-operator
   

   Note: the name of ManagedClusterAddOn must be submariner

Test with ACM

The add-on has been integrated into ACM 2.2 as a default component:

1. Install ACM following the deploy repo.

2. Import or create OCP clusters as managed cluster through the ACM console UI.

   Note: The manged clusters must meet the Prerequisites for Submariner.

3. To test an in-development version of the addon, build an image and push it to one of your repositories on Quay, then edit the ClusterServiceVersion resource:

   kubectl edit ClusterServiceVersion -n open-cluster-management
   

   to replace all instances of the addon with your image tag.

   You can find the appropriate digest on Quay by clicking on the “download” button and choosing “Docker Pull (by digest)”.

4. Start deploying Submariner to managed clusters following the Setup of Submariner on the Hub cluster above.

To use a different version of Submariner itself, edit submariner.io-submariners-cr.yaml and rebuild your image.
