The StorageOS API Manager acts as a middle-man between various APIs. It has all the capabilites of a Kubernetes Operator and is also able to communicate with the StorageOS control plane API.
Controllers are control loops that watch the state of the cluster. Controllers can be created to watch any object type, whether Kubernetes, StorageOS or external, and to respond by making changes where needed. Each controller tries to move the current cluster state closer to the desired state.
The shared volume controller watches the StorageOS control plane API for volumes that are attached as shared volumes. When a new shared volume attachment is discovered, it finds the PVC for the volume and creates a Kubernetes Service for it. When the attachment address changes (e.g. after node failure), the Service Endpoint will be updated, but the Service ClusterIP will remain the same.
See Shared Volume Contoller for more detail.
The Node Delete Controller is responsible for removing nodes from the StorageOS cluster when the node has been removed from Kubernetes.
See Node Delete Contoller for more detail.
The Namespace Delete Controller is responsible for removing namespaces from the StorageOS cluster when the namespace has been removed from Kubernetes.
See Namespace Delete Controller for more detail.
Startup blocks on obtaining a connection to the StorageOS control plane API,
which is retried every -api-retry-interval
(default 5s
) until successful.
This allows the API Manager to start before the control plane API is ready,
avoiding a crash loop.
It does not participate in leader elections until it has a valid API connection.
At least two API Managers should run concurrently. Leadership election ensures that a single kubebuilder manager is active at a time. Note that this does not currently restrict multiple non-kubebuilder controllers (e.g. the Shared Volume controller) from being active.
Prometheus metrics are available on -metrics-addr
(default :8080
). See
controller documentation for specific stats.
The API Manager is installed by the StorageOS cluster-operator. It is not intended to be installed manually.
The following flags are supported:
-api-endpoint string
The StorageOS api endpoint address. (default "storageos")
-api-poll-interval duration
Frequency of StorageOS api polling. (default 5s)
-api-refresh-interval duration
Frequency of StorageOS api authentication token refresh. (default 1m0s)
-api-retry-interval duration
Frequency of StorageOS api retries on failure. (default 5s)
-api-secret-path string
Path where the StorageOS api secret is mounted. The secret must have "username" and "password" set. (default "/etc/storageos/secrets/api")
-cache-expiry-interval duration
Frequency of cached volume re-validation. (default 1m0s)
-enable-leader-election
Enable leader election for controller manager. Enabling this will ensure there is only one active controller manager.
-k8s-create-poll-interval duration
Frequency of Kubernetes api polling for new objects to appear once created. (default 1s)
-k8s-create-wait-duration duration
Maximum time to wait for new Kubernetes objects to appear. (default 20s)
-kubeconfig string
Paths to a kubeconfig. Only required if out-of-cluster.
-metrics-addr string
The address the metric endpoint binds to. (default ":8080")
-namespace-delete-gc-interval duration
Frequency of namespace garbage collection. (default 1h0m0s)
-namespace-delete-workers int
Maximum concurrent namespace delete operations. (default 5)
-node-delete-gc-interval duration
Frequency of node garbage collection. (default 1h0m0s)
-node-delete-workers int
Maximum concurrent node delete operations. (default 5)
-zap-devel
Development Mode defaults(encoder=consoleEncoder,logLevel=Debug,stackTraceLevel=Warn). Production Mode defaults(encoder=jsonEncoder,logLevel=Info,stackTraceLevel=Error)
-zap-encoder value
Zap log encoding (one of 'json' or 'console')
-zap-log-level value
Zap Level to configure the verbosity of logging. Can be one of 'debug', 'info', 'error', or any integer value > 0 which corresponds to custom debug levels of increasing verbosity
-zap-stacktrace-level value
Zap Level at and above which stacktraces are captured (one of 'info', 'error').
Ensure a k8s cluster is running and ~/.kube/config contains the kubeconfig, or pass the path to kubeconfig to the manager binary with -kubeconfig flag.
# Build the binary.
$ make manager
# Update the manifests (Optional).
$ make manifests
# Install the CRD.
$ make install
# Run the manager locally.
$ bin/manager -api-endpoint 172.17.0.2
