Building and quick start

Building akoctl binary for local testing

make build

Install via Krew plugin manager

Krew is the plugin manager for kubectl command-line tool. Here akoctl has been added as a custom plugin to krew.

Aerospike Kubernetes Operator Log Collector

Overview

collectinfo command collects all the required info from kubernetes cluster, which are available at the time of command being executed.

Flag associated with this command:

• path - (type string) Absolute path to save output tar file.

Requirements

• Current user should have the list and get permission for all the objects collected by the command.
• If cluster-scope flag is set, along with permissions mentioned above, user should have list and get permission for cluster-scoped resources like(nodes and storageclasses).
• • Kubectl binary should be available in PATH environment variable.

Collect cluster info using local binary

 ./bin/akoctl collectinfo -n aerospike,olm --path ~/abc/

Collect cluster info using krew

 kubectl akoctl collectinfo -n aerospike,olm --path ~/abc/

Data Collected

This command collects the following data from the specified namespaces:

• Pods, StatefulSets, Deployments, PersistentVolumeClaims, PersistentVolumes, Services, AerospikeCluster objects .
• Container logs.
• Event logs.

Additionally, the following cluster-wide data points are collected:

• Storage class objects.
• Configurations of all nodes in the kubernetes cluster.
• Configurations of aerospike mutating and validating webhooks.

Result Format

• This will create a tar file with timestamp called "scraperlogs-" which contains all the collected info from the cluster.
• Directory structure will look like this.

Grant Aerospike Kubernetes Cluster RBAC

Overview

auth command creates/deletes RBAC resources for Aerospike cluster for the given namespaces. It creates/deletes ServiceAccount, RoleBinding or ClusterRoleBinding as per given scope of operation.

There are 2 sub-commands associated with this command:

• create - It creates/updates RBAC resources for the given namespaces.
• delete - It deletes RBAC resources for the given namespaces.

If cluster-scope is set (Default true), auth command grants cluster level RBAC whereas in case of cluster-scope false, it grants namespace level RBAC.

Permission required

• Current user should have the CREATE, GET, UPDATE and DELETE permission for ServiceAccount and RoleBinding.
• If cluster-scope flag is set, user should have the CREATE, GET, UPDATE and DELETE permission for ServiceAccount and ClusterRoleBinding.

Create/Delete RBAC resources using local binary

 ./bin/akoctl auth create -n aerospike,olm  # creates RBAC resources for aerospike and olm namespaces
 ./bin/akoctl auth delete -n aerospike,olm  # deletes RBAC resources for aerospike and olm namespaces

Create/Delete RBAC resources using krew

kubectl akoctl auth create -n aerospike,olm # creates RBAC resources for aerospike and olm namespaces
kubectl akoctl auth delete -n aerospike,olm # deletes RBAC resources for aerospike and olm namespaces

Global Flags:

There are certain global flags associated with akoctl:

• all-namespaces - (shorthand -A, type bool) Specify all namespaces present in cluster.
• namespaces - (shorthand -n, type string) Comma separated list of namespaces to perform operation in.
• kubeconfig - (type string) Absolute path to the kubeconfig file.
• cluster-scope - (type bool) Permission to work in cluster scoped mode (operate on cluster scoped resources like ClusterRoleBinding). Default true.
