Generic Wrangler Controllers
an invention by kjoiner
Updated over 2 years ago. No love. 1 follower.

Project Description

The rancher/rancher project uses generated wrangler controllers to manage Kubernetes objects. With the introduction of generics to golang in v1.18 we have the ability to consolidate this generated code into one package.

Goal for this Hackweek

  • Core controller code is no longer defined in a large string.
  • Make testable controller code can be tested.
  • Remove a large number of duplicate code in Rancher ~20,000 lines
  • Faster Unit Test
  • Controllers can be created without code generation.

      That’s an interesting approach to cutting down redundant Kubernetes code, especially with the use of generics in Go for cleaner and faster testing. Just like efficient coding simplifies system management, services like Slotenmaker020 bring the same reliability in real life by offering quick, 24/7 locksmith solutions in Amsterdam, ensuring safety and convenience without unnecessary complications. Both focus on reducing complexity while improving security and performance.

    terraform-provider-feilong by e_bischoff

    Project Description

    People need to test operating systems and applications on s390 platform.

    Installation from scratch solutions include:

    • just deploy and provision manually add-emoji (with the help of ftpboot script, if you are at SUSE)
    • use s3270 terminal emulation (used by openQA people?)
    • use LXC from IBM to start CP commands and analyze the results
    • use zPXE to do some PXE-alike booting (used by the orthos team?)
    • use tessia to install from scratch using autoyast
    • use libvirt for s390 to do some nested virtualization on some already deployed z/VM system
    • directly install a Linux kernel on a LPAR and use kvm + libvirt from there

    Deployment from image solutions include:

    • use ICIC web interface (openstack in disguise, contributed by IBM)
    • use ICIC from the openstack terraform provider (used by Rancher QA)
    • use zvm_ansible to control SMAPI
    • connect directly to SMAPI low-level socket interface

    IBM Cloud Infrastructure Center (ICIC) harnesses the Feilong API, but you can use Feilong without installing ICIC, provided you set up a "z/VM cloud connector" into one of your VMs following this schema.

    What about writing a terraform Feilong provider, just like we have the terraform libvirt provider? That would allow to transparently call Feilong from your main.tf files to deploy and destroy resources on your system/z.

    Other Feilong-based solutions include:

    • make libvirt Feilong-aware
    • simply call Feilong from shell scripts with curl
    • use zvmconnector client python library from Feilong
    • use zthin part of Feilong to directly command SMAPI.

    Goal for Hackweek 23

    My final goal is to be able to easily deploy and provision VMs automatically on a z/VM system, in a way that people might enjoy even outside of SUSE.

    My technical preference is to write a terraform provider plugin, as it is the approach that involves the least software components for our deployments, while remaining clean, and compatible with our existing development infrastructure.

    Goals for Hackweek 24

    Feilong provider works and is used internally by SUSE Manager team. Let's push it forward!

    Let's add support for fiberchannel disks and multipath.

    Possible goals for Hackweek 25

    Modernization, maturity, and maintenance.

    Mammuthus - The NFS-Ganesha inside Kubernetes controller by vcheng

    Description

    As the user-space NFS provider, the NFS-Ganesha is wieldy use with serval projects. e.g. Longhorn/Rook. We want to create the Kubernetes Controller to make configuring NFS-Ganesha easy. This controller will let users configure NFS-Ganesha through different backends like VFS/CephFS.

    Goals

    1. Create NFS-Ganesha Package on OBS: nfs-ganesha5, nfs-ganesha6
    2. Create NFS-Ganesha Container Image on OBS: Image
    3. Create a Kubernetes controller for NFS-Ganesha and support the VFS configuration on demand. Mammuthus
