The sync adds or alters database roles based on the roles defined
in the cluster's TPR, Team API and operator's infrastructure roles.
At the moment, roles are not deleted, as it would be dangerous for
the robot roles in case TPR is misconfigured. In addition, ALTER
ROLE does not remove role options, i.e. SUPERUSER or CREATEROLE,
neither it removes role membership: only new options are added and
new role membership is granted. So far, options like NOSUPERUSER
and NOCREATEROLE won't be handed correctly, when mixed with the
non-negative counterparts, also NOLOGIN should be processed correctly.
The code assumes that only MD5 passwords are stored in the DB and
will likely break with the new SCRAM auth in PostgreSQL 10.
On the implementation side, create the new interface to abstract
roles merge and creation, move most of the role-based functionality
from cluster/pg into the new 'users' module, strip create user code
of special cases related to human-based users (moving them to init
instead) and fixed the password md5 generator to avoid processing
already encrypted passwords. In addition, moved the system roles
off the slice containing all other roles in order to avoid extra
efforts to avoid creating them.
Also, fix a leak in DB connections when the new connection is not
considered healthy and discarded without being closed. Initialize
the database during the sync phase before syncing users.
Run operations concerning multiple clusters in parallel. Each cluster gets its
own worker in order to create, update, sync or delete clusters. Each worker
acquires the lock on a cluster. Subsequent operations on the same cluster
have to wait until the current one finishes. There is a pool of parallel
workers, configurable with the `workers` parameter in the configmap and set by
default to 4. The cluster-related tasks are assigned to the workers based on
a cluster name: the tasks for the same cluster will be always assigned to the
same worker. There is no blocking between workers, although there is a chance
that a single worker will become a bottleneck if too many clusters are
assigned to it; therefore, for large-scale deployments it might be necessary
to bump up workers from the default value.
* Avoid "bulk-comparing" pod resources during sync.
First attempt to fix bogus restarts due to the reported mismatch
of container resources where one of the resources is an empty struct,
while the other has all fields set to nil.
In addition, add an ability to set limits and requests per pod, as well as the operator-level defaults.
* Add version label to the cluster.
According to the STUPS team the daemon that exports logs to scalyr
stops the export if the version label is missing.
* Move label names to constants.
* Run go fmt
* Add infrastructure roles configured globally.
Those are the roles defined in the operator itself. The operator's
configuration refers to the secret containing role names, passwords
and membership information. While they are referred to as roles, in
reality those are users.
In addition, improve the regex to filter out invalid users and
make sure user secret names are compatible with DNS name spec.
Add an example manifest for the infrastructure roles.
- Use the branch of pretty with this feature fixed:
https://github.com/kr/pretty/pull/42
- Add the Limit to the resources declaration to avoid dummy
differences between statefulsets (where both Resource structures
are empty, but in one case the fields are not mentioned, while
in another they are assigned to empty values).
Conceptually, the operator's task is just to change the pod. As it
has no influence over the role the pod will take (either the master
or a replica), it shouldn't wait for the specific role.
This fixes at least one issue, where the pod running in a single-pod
cluster has been waited for forever by the operator expecting it to
have a wrong role (since Patroni callback assiging it the original
replica role has been killed after a quick promote by the next
callback.)
- Set WAL_S3_BUCKET to point WAL-E where to fetch/store WAL files
- Set annotations/iam.amazonaws.com/role to set the role to access AWS"
The new env vairables are PGOP_WAL_S3_BUCKET and PGOP_KUBE_IAM_ROLE.
- add a new environment variable for triggering debug log level
- show both new, old object and diff during syncs and updates
- use pretty package to pretty-print go structures
-
- Specify context in kubectl commands.
- Add a section on installing zkubectl and getting access to the DB cluster.
- Add a section on installing the service account.
