Yellowbrick Operator ​

Yellowbrick Operator provides lifecycle for Yellowbrick instances, including managing their creation, destruction, suspend/resume operations, upgrades and configuration. The operator monitors changes to Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) by provisioning and managing Kubernetes resources that support Yellowbrick instances.

Custom Resource Definitions ​

The following describes each of the custom resource definitions managed by Yellowbrick Operator.

NameCRDDescription
YBInstanceybinstances.cluster.yellowbrick.ioThe Yellowbrick instance specification and status
YBInstanceTaskybinstancetasks.cluster.yellowbrick.ioTasks that perform lifecycle operations on Yellowbrick instances
YBVersionybversions.cluster.yellowbrick.ioVersion uploaded by Yellowbrick Deployer, containing registry location and semver
YBNodeGroupybnodegroups.cluster.yellowbrick.ioThe hardware node group used by Kubernetes in a cloud provider to configure how to acquire and configure compute infrastructure
YBHwInstanceTypeybhwinstancetypes.cluster.yellowbrick.ioThe hardware instance types supported by Yellowbrick compute clusters and their configuration
YBSharedServiceybsharedservices.cluster.yellowbrick.ioThe parameters for scaling between different Yellowbrick instance shared service configurations
YBExternalInstanceybexternalinstances.cluster.yellowbrick.ioRegistration of an unmanaged Yellowbrick instance to be manageable by Yellowbrick Manager
YBStorageProvisionRequestybstorageprovisionrequests.cluster.yellowbrick.ioDescribes a storage provision request made for an object storage location on behalf of a Yellowbrick instance

Usage ​

Refer to Kubectl Administration to see some common commands you can use to manage Yellowbrick instances.

Use Cases ​

Listing Versions ​

% kubectl get -A ybversion

NAME                   AGE
7.0.1-58367.66d9e03e   2d
7.0.1-58423.ec33cf36   4d22h
7.0.1-58503.7c5c6d83   2d4h
7.0.1-58583.7dae3b48   24h

Creating an Instance ​

Using the following:

  • the target namespace for the instance $instanceNamespace
  • the name of the instance $instanceName
  • the version of the instance $version (see listing versions above)
% kubectl -n $instanceNamespace apply -f - <<-EOF
apiVersion: cluster.yellowbrick.io/v1
kind: YBInstance
metadata:
  name: $instanceName
spec:
  version: $version
  sharedServicesType: standard
  storageManaged: true
EOF

Adjust the .spec parameters according to your requirements.

Destroying an Instance ​

Normally, a custom resource can be removed with kubectl -n [namespace] delete [type] [name]; however Yellowbrick Operator prevents accidental deletion of an entire Yellowbrick instance through a finalizer and custom annotation which must be provided on the instance to proceed with deleting the object storage and catalog / rowstore volumes for the instance.

In order to annotate the Yellowbrick instance for deletion, use the following:

  • the target namespace for the instance $instanceNamespace
  • the name of the instance $instanceName
% id=$(kubectl -n $instanceNamespace get ybinstance $instanceName -o jsonpath='{.metadata.uid}' 2>/dev/null)
% kubectl -n $instanceNamespace patch ybinstance $instanceName -p "{\"metadata\":{\"annotations\":{\"yellowbrick.io/delete-confirmation\":\"$id\"}}}" --type=merge

This prepares the instance for deletion, which is then done with this command:

% kubectl -n $instanceNamespace delete ybinstance $instanceName

Obtain the Details for an Instance ​

Given:

  • the namespace for the instance $instanceNamespace
  • the name of the instance $instanceName
% kubectl get -n $instanceNamespace ybinstance $instanceName -o yaml
