• Python 3
• Connectivity to SUMO Kubernetes cluster(s)

• Releases to the development environment can happen either from the main or from a feature branch.
• Releases to the stage environment happen from the main branch.
• Releases to the production environment happen from the main branch after successful QA testing in the stage environment.

Because there might be a need to deploy while testing merged changes in main,
deployments to production and stage may happen from the production branch.
The production branch maintains an image that can be released in production without further validation.

• Move to the SUMO k8s directory

  cd k8s

• Install needed packages

  virtualenv venv
  pip install -r ./requirements.txt

• Create symbolic links to secrets for each namespace and region.

  e.g. ln -s ~/sumo-encrypted/k8s/secrets/frankfurt/sumo-stage-secrets.yaml ./regions/frankfurt/stage-secrets.yaml

  Files to be created:

  • ./regions/frankfurt/stage-secrets.yaml
  • ./regions/frankfurt/prod-secrets.yaml
  • ./regions/oregon/stage-secrets.yaml
  • ./regions/oregon/prod-secrets.yaml

• (Optional) Create symbolic links to kubectl and kubeconfig to use in each region. Note that kubectl should match the version of the cluster, or have a version skew of 1 minor version.

  e.g. ln -s ~/bin/kubectl ./regions/frankfurt/kubectl

  Files to be created:

  • ./regions/frankfurt/kubectl
  • ./regions/frankfurt/kubeconfig
  • ./regions/oregon/kubectl
  • ./regions/oregon/kubeconfig

• Ensure that your kubectl binary matches the cluster version (check the cluster version in the table below).

• Authorize yourself into AWS. After making sure you are part of the right LDAP groups, run $(maws) to get a short lived AWS token. More on installing maws here.

• Get the kubeconfig file running aws eks update-kubeconfig --name <cluster_name> --region <region> --alias <cluster_name> adding the cluster name and region. You can find a table with the EKS clusters and regions below. This command will by default append the configuration to ~/.kube/config. After that, you should be able to talk to the cluster and perform operations like kubectl get namespaces.

Here there is a list with the names of the clusters per region:

Choose a region and env:

| Region | Env | Namespace | Cluster | Version | |---|---|---|---| | frankfurt | stage | sumo-stage | eks | 1.21 | | frankfurt | prod | sumo-prod | eks | 1.21 | | oregon | stage | sumo-stage | eks | 1.21 | | oregon | prod | sumo-prod | eks | 1.21 |

• Update the settings file with new image tags and settings.

• Update the settings file with new image tags and settings.

• Deploy with commander without secrets

  ./commander.sh deploy <region> <environment> <git sha>

  E.g. ./commander.sh deploy frankfurt dev d7be392

• Deploy with commander with secrets

  ./commander.sh deploy <region> <environment> <git sha> secrets

  E.g. ./commander.sh deploy frankfurt dev d7be392 secrets

• Update the settings file with new image tags and settings.

• If desired, perform a dry-run to see rendered K8s settings:

invoke -f ./regions/frankfurt/dev.yaml deployments.create-celery
invoke -f ./regions/frankfurt/dev.yaml deployments.create-cron
invoke -f ./regions/frankfurt/dev.yaml deployments.create-web

dry-run mode is enabled if you do not specify --apply.

• Apply changes to K8s:

invoke -f ./regions/frankfurt/dev.yaml deployments.create-celery --apply
invoke -f ./regions/frankfurt/dev.yaml deployments.create-cron --apply
invoke -f ./regions/frankfurt/dev.yaml deployments.create-web --apply

• Monitor the status of the rollout until it completes:

invoke -f ./regions/frankfurt/dev.yaml rollouts.status-celery
invoke -f ./regions/frankfurt/dev.yaml rollouts.status-cron
invoke -f ./regions/frankfurt/dev.yaml rollouts.status-web

• In an emergency, if the rollout is causing failures, you can roll-back to the previous state.

invoke -f ./regions/frankfurt/dev.yaml rollouts.rollback-celery
invoke -f ./regions/frankfurt/dev.yaml rollouts.rollback-cron
invoke -f ./regions/frankfurt/dev.yaml rollouts.rollback-web

Run basic acceptance tests with

./acceptance-tests.sh <URL>

E.g. ./acceptance-tests.sh https://dev.sumo.mozit.cloud

$ invoke -l

  deployments.check-environment   Ensure that a .yaml file has been specified
  deployments.create-all          Create web, cron and celery deployments
  deployments.create-celery       Create or update a SUMO celery deployment
  deployments.create-cron         Create or update a SUMO cron deployment

  rollouts.status-web             Check rollout status of a SUMO web deployment

All Kubernetes clusters that serve SUMO are currently deployed on EKS version 1.21.2

When connecting to an older K8s cluster, you may need to download an older version of Kubectl that matches the version of the server.

Newer clients connecting to older K8s servers may display error messages such as:

Error from server (NotFound): the server could not find the requested resource

To determine the K8s server version:

$ kubectl version --short
Client Version: v1.21.5
Server Version: v1.21.2-eks-06eac09

Check the values that are part of Server Version. The output above shows 1.21 (or v.1.21.2-eks-...).

Next, download a binary following the instructions located here.

curl -LO https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/v1.21.5/bin/linux/$(uname -m)/kubectl
chmod +x ./kubectl
# it may be useful to rename the binary to include K8s version number:
mv ./kubectl ./kubectl1.21.5

Next, set the KUBECTL_BIN environment variable to override the name of the kubectl binary:

# next, set the KUBECTL_BIN environment variable to override the name of the kubectl binary:
KUBECTL_BIN=/home/metadave/kubectl1.21.5 invoke -f ./regions/frankfurt/dev.yaml deployments.create-web --apply

The default KUBECTL_BIN value is kubectl.

In order to check the size of an instance's celery queue, open a shell on a pod in that namespace:

kubectl exec -ti sumo-dev-celery-abc -- /bin/bash

Get the name of the queue you want to query:

./manage.py celery inspect active_queues

Open a python shell:

./manage.py shell_plus

Get the url of the redis instance:

In [1]: settings.BROKER_URL
Out[1]: 'redis://hostname:port/db'

Set up the redis client:

import redis
r = redis.Redis(host='hostname', port='port', db=db)

Then query the length of the queue, in this case called 'celery':

In [4]: r.llen('celery')
Out[4]: 44

The last item in the queue can be fetched with:

l = r.lrange('celery', -1, -1)

This must then be parsed and de-pickled:

import pickle, base64, json
pickle.loads(base64.decodestring(json.loads(l[0])['body']))
