TECHNOLOGY PREVIEW - Getting started with Red Hat Integration - Camel K

Red Hat Integration Documentation Team Integration Support Team http://access.redhat.com/support

Abstract

This guide introduces Red Hat Integration - Camel K, explains how to install on OpenShift, and how to get started deploying Camel K integrations and tutorials with OpenShift Serverless. This guide also explains how to configure and manage integrations, and provides reference details on Camel K traits that you can configure for advanced features.

Chapter 1. Introduction to Camel K

This chapter introduces the concepts, features, and cloud-native architecture provided by Red Hat Integration - Camel K:

Important

Red Hat Integration - Camel K is a Technology Preview feature only. Technology Preview features are not supported with Red Hat production service level agreements (SLAs) and might not be functionally complete. Red Hat does not recommend using them in production.

These features provide early access to upcoming product features, enabling customers to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process. For more information about the support scope of Red Hat Technology Preview features, see https://access.redhat.com/support/offerings/techpreview.

1.1. Camel K overview

Red Hat Integration - Camel K is a lightweight integration framework built from Apache Camel K that runs natively in the cloud on OpenShift. Camel K is specifically designed for serverless and microservice architectures. You can use Camel K to instantly run your integration code written in Camel Domain Specific Language (DSL) directly on OpenShift. Camel K is a subproject of the Apache Camel open source community: https://github.com/apache/camel-k.

Camel K is implemented in the Go programming language and uses the Kubernetes Operator SDK to automatically deploy integrations in the cloud. For example, this includes automatically creating services and routes on OpenShift. This provides much faster turnaround times when deploying and redeploying integrations in the cloud, such as a few seconds or less instead of minutes.

The Camel K runtime provides significant performance optimizations. When running Camel K in developer mode, you can make live updates to your integration DSL and view results instantly in the cloud on OpenShift, without waiting for your integration to redeploy. When the Quarkus cloud-native Java framework is enabled, this provides faster start up times, and lower memory and CPU footprints.

Using Camel K with OpenShift Serverless and Knative Serving, containers are created only as needed and are autoscaled under load up and down to zero. This reduces cost by removing the overhead of server provisioning and maintenance and enables you to focus on application development instead.

Using Camel K with OpenShift Serverless and Knative Eventing, you can manage how components in your system communicate in an event-driven architecture for serverless applications. This provides flexibility and creates efficiencies through decoupled relationships between event producers and consumers using a publish-subscribe or event-streaming model.

1.3. Camel K cloud-native architecture

The following diagram shows a simplified view of the Camel K cloud-native architecture:

Camel K architecture

Camel K automatically wraps the Camel integration in a Kubernetes custom resource and uploads it to the cloud. This architecture provides the following benefits:

  • Cloud-native integration and developer experience on OpenShift for faster development cycles
  • Live updates without needing to redeploy using Camel K developer mode
  • Automatic installation of Camel K and deployment of integrations using the Camel K Operator
  • Autoscaling up and down to zero with Knative using the OpenShift Serverless Operator

  • Performance optimizations and cost savings using the Quarkus Java runtime:

    • Pre-compilation and pre-initialization of code at build time
    • Fast start up, deploy, and redeploy times
    • Low memory and CPU footprint
  • Automatic dependency resolution of Camel integration code
  • Configuring advanced features on the command line using Camel K traits

Additional resources

1.4. Camel K development tooling

The Camel K Technology Preview provides development tooling extensions for Visual Studio (VS) Code, Red Hat CodeReady WorkSpaces, and Eclipse Che. These extensions include features such as automatic completion of Camel DSL code and Camel K traits, and automatic execution of Camel K quick start tutorial commands.

The following VS Code development tooling extensions are available:

For details on how to set up these VS Code extensions for Camel K, see Section 2.4, “Setting up your Camel K development environment”.

2.5. Developing Camel K integrations in Java

This section shows how to develop a simple Camel K integration in Java DSL. Writing an integration in Java to be deployed using Camel K is the same as defining your routing rules in Camel. However, you do not need to build and package the integration as a JAR when using Camel K.

You can use any Camel component directly in your integration routes. Camel K automatically handles the dependency management and imports all the required libraries from the Camel catalog using code inspection.

Prerequisites

Procedure

  1. Enter the kamel init command to generate a simple Java integration file. For example: 

    $ kamel init HelloCamelK.java

  2. Open the generated integration file in your IDE and edit as appropriate. For example, the HelloCamelK.java integration automatically includes the Camel timer and log components to help you get started: 

    // camel-k: language=java

import org.apache.camel.builder.RouteBuilder;

public class HelloCamelK extends RouteBuilder {
  @Override
  public void configure() throws Exception {

      // Write your routes here, for example:
      from("timer:java?period=1s")
        .routeId("java")
        .setBody()
          .simple("Hello Camel K from ${routeId}")
        .to("log:info");

  }
}

Next steps

2.6. Developing Camel K integrations in XML

This section explains how to develop a simple Camel K integration in classic XML DSL. Writing an integration in XML to be deployed using Camel K is the same as defining your routing rules in Camel.

You can use any Camel component directly in your integration routes. Camel K automatically handles the dependency management and imports all the required libraries from the Camel catalog using code inspection.

Prerequisites

Procedure

  1. Enter the kamel init command to generate a simple XML integration file. For example: 

    $ kamel init hello-camel-k.xml

  2. Open the generated integration file in your IDE and edit as appropriate. For example, the hello-camel-k.xml integration automatically includes the Camel timer and log components to help you get started: 

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!-- camel-k: language=xml -->

<routes xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        xmlns="http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring"
        xsi:schemaLocation="
            http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring
            http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring/camel-spring.xsd">

    <!-- Write your routes here, for example: -->
    <route id="xml">
        <from uri="timer:xml?period=1s"/>
        <setBody>
            <simple>Hello Camel K from ${routeId}</simple>
        </setBody>
        <to uri="log:info"/>
    </route>

</routes>

Next steps

2.7. Developing Camel K integrations in YAML

This section explains how to develop a simple Camel K integration in YAML DSL. Writing an integration in YAML to be deployed using Camel K is the same as defining your routing rules in Camel.

You can use any Camel component directly in your integration routes. Camel K automatically handles the dependency management and imports all the required libraries from the Camel catalog using code inspection.

Prerequisites

Procedure

  1. Enter the kamel init command to generate a simple XML integration file. For example: 

    $ kamel init hello.camelk.yaml

  2. Open the generated integration file in your IDE and edit as appropriate. For example, the hello.camelk.yaml integration automatically includes the Camel timer and log components to help you get started: 

    # camel-k: language=yaml

# Write your routes here, for example:
- from:
    uri: "timer:yaml"
    parameters:
      period: "1s"
    steps:
      - set-body:
          constant: "Hello Camel K from yaml"
      - to: "log:info"
    Important

    Integrations written in YAML must have a file name with the pattern *.camelk.yaml or a first line of # camel-k: language=yaml.

2.8. Running Camel K integrations

You can run Camel K integrations in the cloud on your OpenShift cluster from the command line using the kamel run command.

Prerequisites

Procedure

  1. Log into your OpenShift cluster using the oc client tool, for example: 

    $ oc login --token=my-token --server=https://my-cluster.example.com:6443

  2. Ensure that the Camel K Operator is running, for example: 

    $ oc get pod
NAME                               READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
camel-k-operator-86b8d94b4-pk7d6   1/1     Running   0          6m28s

  3. Enter the kamel run command to run your integration in the cloud on OpenShift. For example:

    Java example

    $ kamel run HelloCamelK.java
integration "hello-camel-k" created

    XML example

    $ kamel run hello-camel-k.xml
integration "hello-camel-k" created

    YAML example

    $ kamel run hello.camelk.yaml
integration "hello" created

  4. Enter the kamel get command to check the status of the integration: 

    $ kamel get
NAME       PHASE           KIT
hello      Building Kit    kit-bq666mjej725sk8sn12g

    When the integration runs for the first time, Camel K builds the integration kit for the container image, which downloads all the required Camel modules and adds them to the image classpath.

  5. Enter kamel get again to verify that the integration is running: 

    $ kamel get
NAME       PHASE   KIT
hello      Running kit-bq666mjej725sk8sn12g

  6. Enter the kamel log command to print the log to stdout: 

    $ kamel log hello

2.9. Running Camel K integrations in development mode

You can run Camel K integrations in development mode on your OpenShift cluster from the command line. Using development mode, you can iterate quickly on integrations in development and get fast feedback on your code.

When you specify the kamel run command with the --dev option, this deploys the integration in the cloud immediately and shows the integration logs in the terminal. You can then change the code and see the changes automatically applied instantly to the remote integration Pod on OpenShift. The terminal automatically displays all redeployments of the remote integration in the cloud.

Note

The artifacts generated by Camel K in development mode are identical to those that you run in production. The purpose of development mode is faster development.

Prerequisites

Procedure

  1. Log into your OpenShift cluster using the oc client tool, for example: 

    $ oc login --token=my-token --server=https://my-cluster.example.com:6443

  2. Ensure that the Camel K Operator is running, for example: 

    $ oc get pod
NAME                               READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE

Chapter 4. Configuring Camel K integrations

This chapter explains available options for configuring Red Hat Integration - Camel K integrations using properties:

4.1. Configuring Camel K integrations using properties

You can configure properties for Camel K integrations on the command line at runtime. When you define a property in an integration using a property placeholder, for example, {{my.message}}, you can specify the property value on the command line, for example --property my.message=Hello. You can specify multiple properties in a single command.

Prerequisites

Procedure

  1. Develop a Camel integration that uses a property. The following simple route includes a {{my.message}} property placeholder: 

    ...
   from("timer:java?period=1s")
     .routeId("java")
     .setBody()
        .simple("{{my.message}} from ${routeId}")
     .to("log:info");
...

  2. Enter the kamel run command using the --property option to set the property value at runtime. For example: 

    $ kamel run --property my.message="Hola Mundo" HelloCamelK.java --dev
...
[1] 2020-04-13 15:39:59.213 INFO  [main] ApplicationRuntime - Listener org.apache.camel.k.listener.RoutesDumper@6e0dec4a executed in phase Started
[1] 2020-04-13 15:40:00.237 INFO  [Camel (camel-k) thread #1 - timer://java] info - Exchange[ExchangePattern: InOnly, BodyType: String, Body: Hola Mundo from java]
...

Additional resources

4.2. Configuring Camel K integrations using property files

You can configure multiple properties for Camel K integrations by specifying a property file on the command line at runtime. When you define properties in an integration using property placeholders, for example, {{my.items}}, you can specify the property values on the command line using a properties file, for example --property-file my-integration.properties.

Prerequisites

Procedure

  1. Define your integration properties file. The following shows a simple example from a routing.properties file: 

    # List of items for random generation
items=*radiator *engine *door window

# Marker to identify priority items
priority-marker=*

  2. Develop a Camel integration that uses properties defined in the properties file. The following example from the Routing.java integration uses the {{items}} and {{priority-marker}} property placeholders: 

    ...
from("timer:java?period=6000")
    .id("generator")
    .bean(this, "generateRandomItem({{items}})")
    .choice()
      .when().simple("${body.startsWith('{{priority-marker}}')}")
        .transform().body(String.class, item -> item.substring(priorityMarker.length()))
        .to("direct:priorityQueue")
      .otherwise()
        .to("direct:standardQueue");
...

  3. Enter the kamel run command with the --property-file option. For example: 

    $ kamel run Routing.java --property-file routing.properties --dev
...
[1] 2020-04-13 15:20:30.424 INFO  [main] ApplicationRuntime - Listener org.apache.camel.k.listener.RoutesDumper@6e0dec4a executed in phase Started

4.3. Configuring Camel K properties using an OpenShift ConfigMap

You can configure multiple properties for Camel K integrations using an OpenShift ConfigMap. When you define properties in an integration using property placeholders, for example, {{my.message}}, you can specify the property values at runtime using a ConfigMap. You can also specify additional properties such as logging levels in the application.properties section of the ConfigMap.

Prerequisites

Procedure

  1. Develop a Camel integration that uses properties. The following simple route includes the {{my.message}} property placeholder: 

    ...
   from("timer:java?period=1s")
     .routeId("java")
     .setBody()
        .simple("{{my.message}} from ${routeId}")
     .to("log:info");
...

  2. Define a ConfigMap that contains your configuration properties. For example: 

    apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: my-configmap
data:
  application.properties: |
    my.message=Bonjour le monde
    logging.level.org.apache.camel=DEBUG

    This example sets the value of the my.message property and sets the logging level for the org.apache.camel package in the application.properties.

  3. Create the ConfigMap in the same OpenShift namespace as your integration: 

    $ oc apply -f my-configmap.yaml
configmap/my-configmap created

  4. Run the integration with the --configmap option to specify the configuration properties in the ConfigMap: 

    $ kamel run --configmap=my-configmap HelloCamelK.java --dev
...
[1] 2020-04-14 14:18:20.654 DEBUG [Camel (camel-k) thread #1 - timer://java] DefaultReactiveExecutor - Queuing reactive work: CamelInternalProcessor - UnitOfWork - afterProcess - DefaultErrorHandler[sendTo(log://info)] - ID-hello-camel-k-5df4bcd7dc-zq4vw-1586873876659-0-25

...

Additional resources

4.4. Configuring Camel K properties using an OpenShift Secret

You can configure multiple properties for Camel K integrations using an OpenShift Secret. When you define properties in an integration using property placeholders, for example, {{my.message}}, you can specify the property values at runtime using a Secret. You can also specify additional properties such as logging levels in the application.properties section of the Secret.

Note

Configuring integration properties using a Secret is similar to configuring using a ConfigMap. The main difference is that you may need to base64-encode the content of the application.properties in the Secret.

Prerequisites

Procedure

  1. Develop a Camel integration that uses properties. The following simple route includes the {{my.message}} property placeholder: 

    ...
   from("timer:java?period=1s")
     .routeId("java")
     .setBody()
        .simple("{{my.message}} from ${routeId}")
     .to("log:info");
...

  2. Define a Secret that contains your configuration properties. For example: 

    apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: my-secret
data:
  application.properties: |
    bXkubWVzc2FnZT1IZWxsbyBXb3JsZAogICAgbG9nZ2luZy5sZXZlbC5vcmcuYXBhY2hlLmNhbWVs
    PURFQlVHCg==

    This example sets the value of the my.message property to Hello World and sets the logging level for the org.apache.camel package to DEBUG. These settings are specified in base64-encoded format in the application.properties.

  3. Create the Secret in the same OpenShift namespace as your integration: 

    $ oc apply -f my-secret.yaml
secret/my-secret created

  4. Run the integration with the --secret option to specify the configuration properties in the Secret: 

    $ kamel run --secret=my-secret HelloCamelK.java --dev
[1] 2020-04-14 14:30:29.788 DEBUG [Camel (camel-k) thread #1 - timer://java] DefaultReactiveExecutor - Queuing reactive work: CamelInternalProcessor - UnitOfWork - afterProcess - DefaultErrorHandler[sendTo(log://info)] - ID-hello-camel-k-68f85d99b9-srd92-1586874486770-0-144

Additional resources

4.5. Configuring Camel integration components

You can configure Camel components programmatically in your integration code or by using configuration properties on the command line at runtime. You can configure Camel components using the following syntax: 

camel.component.${scheme}.${property}=${value}

For example, to change the queue size of the Camel seda component for staged event-driven architecture, you can configure the following property on the command line: 

camel.component.seda.queueSize=10

Prerequisites

Procedure

  • Enter the kamel run command and specify the Camel component configuration using the --property option. For example: 

    $ kamel run --property camel.component.seda.queueSize=10 examples/Integration.java

Additional resources

4.6. Configuring Camel K integration dependencies

Camel K automatically resolves a wide range of dependencies that are required to run your integration code. However, you can explicitly add dependencies on the command line at runtime using the kamel run --dependency option.

The following example integration uses Camel K automatic dependency resolution: 

...
  from("imap://admin@myserver.com")
    .to("seda:output")
...

Because this integration has an endpoint starting with the imap: prefix, Camel K can automatically add the camel-mail component to the list of required dependencies. The seda: endpoint belongs to camel-core, which is automatically added to all integrations, so Camel K does not add additional dependencies for this component.

Camel K automatic dependency resolution is transparent to the user at runtime. This is very useful in development mode because you can quickly add all the components that you need without exiting the development loop.

You can explicitly add a dependency using the kamel run --dependency or -d option. You might need to use this to specify dependencies that are not included in the Camel catalog. You can specify multiple dependencies on the command line.

Prerequisites

Procedure

  • Enter the kamel run command and specify dependencies using the -d option. For example: 

    $ kamel run -d mvn:com.google.guava:guava:26.0-jre -d camel-mina2 Integration.java
Note

You can disable automatic dependency resolution by disabling the dependencies trait: -trait dependencies.enabled=false. However, this is not recommended in most cases.

Chapter 6. Camel K developer reference

This chapter provides reference information about advanced features and core capabilities that you can configure on the command line at runtime. Red Hat Integration - Camel K provides feature traits to configure Camel K for specific features and technologies. Camel K also provides platform traits to configure internal Camel K core capabilities.

Important

The Red Hat Integration - Camel K Technology Preview includes the OpenShift and Knative profiles. The Kubernetes profile has community-only support.

This Technology Preview includes Java, XML, and YAML DSL for integrations. Other languages such as Groovy, JavaScript, and Kotlin have community-only support.

This chapter includes the following sections:

Camel K feature traits

Camel K core platform traits

6.1. Camel K traits and profiles

Camel K traits are advanced features and core capabilities that you can configure on the command line to customize Camel K integrations. For example, this includes feature traits that configure interactions with technologies such as 3scale API Management, Quarkus, Knative, and Prometheus. Camel K also provides internal platform traits that configure important core platform capabilities such as Camel support, containers, dependency resolution, and JVM support.

Camel K profiles define the target cloud platforms on which Camel K integrations run. The Camel K Technology Preview supports the OpenShift and Knative profiles.

Note

When you run an integration on OpenShift, Camel K uses the Knative profile when OpenShift Serverless is installed on the cluster. Camel K uses the OpenShift profile when OpenShift Serverless is not installed.

You can also specify the profile at runtime using the kamel run --profile option.

Camel K provides useful defaults for all traits, taking into account the target profile on which the integration runs. However, advanced users can configure Camel K traits for custom behavior. Some traits only apply to specific profiles such as OpenShift or Knative. For more details, see the available profiles in each trait description.

Camel K trait configuration

Each Camel trait has a unique ID that you can use to configure the trait on the command line. For example, the following command disables creating an OpenShift Service for an integration: 

$ kamel run --trait service.enabled=false my-integration.yaml

You can also use the -t option to specify traits.

Camel K trait properties

You can use the enabled property to enable or disable each trait. All traits have their own internal logic to determine if they need to be enabled when the user does not activate them explicitly.

Warning

Disabling a platform trait may compromise the platform functionality.

Some traits have an auto property, which you can use to enable or disable automatic configuration of the trait based on the environment. For example, this includes traits such as 3scale, Cron, and Knative. This automatic configuration can enable or disable the trait when the enabled property is not explicitly set, and can change the trait configuration.

Most traits have additional properties that you can configure on the command line. For more details, see the descriptions for each trait in the sections that follow.

6.2. Camel K feature traits

6.2.1. 3scale Trait

The 3scale trait can be used to automatically create annotations that allow 3scale to discover the generated service and make it available for API management.

The 3scale trait is disabled by default.

This trait is available in the following profiles: Kubernetes, Knative, OpenShift.

6.2.1.1. Configuration

Trait properties can be specified when running any integration with the CLI: 

kamel run --trait 3scale.[key]=[value] --trait 3scale.[key2]=[value2] Integration.java

The following configuration options are available:

PropertyTypeDescription

3scale.enabled

bool

Can be used to enable or disable a trait. All traits share this common property.

3scale.auto

bool

Enables automatic configuration of the trait.

3scale.scheme

string

The scheme to use to contact the service (default http)

3scale.path

string

The path where the API is published (default /)

3scale.port

int

The port where the service is exposed (default 80)

3scale.description-path

string

The path where the Open-API specification is published (default /api-doc)

6.2.2. Affinity Trait

Allows to constrain which nodes the integration pod(s) are eligible to be scheduled on, based on labels on the node, or with inter-pod affinity and anti-affinity, based on labels on pods that are already running on the nodes.

It’s disabled by default.

This trait is available in the following profiles: Kubernetes, Knative, OpenShift.

6.2.2.1. Configuration

Trait properties can be specified when running any integration with the CLI: 

kamel run --trait affinity.[key]=[value] --trait affinity.[key2]=[value2] Integration.java

The following configuration options are available:

PropertyTypeDescription

affinity.enabled

bool

Can be used to enable or disable a trait. All traits share this common property.

affinity.pod-affinity

bool

Always co-locates multiple replicas of the integration in the same node (default false).

affinity.pod-anti-affinity

bool

Never co-locates multiple replicas of the integration in the same node (default false).

affinity.node-affinity-labels

string

Defines a set of nodes the integration pod(s) are eligible to be scheduled on, based on labels on the node.

affinity.pod-affinity-labels

string

Defines a set of pods (namely those matching the label selector, relative to the given namespace) that the integration pod(s) should be co-located with.

affinity.pod-anti-affinity-labels

string

Defines a set of pods (namely those matching the label selector, relative to the given namespace) that the integration pod(s) should not be co-located with.

6.2.2.2. Examples

  • To schedule the integration pod(s) on a specific node using the built-in node label kubernetes.io/hostname: 

    $ kamel run -t affinity.node-affinity-labels="kubernetes.io/hostname in(node-66-50.hosted.k8s.tld)" ...

  • To schedule a single integration pod per node (using the Exists operator): 

    $ kamel run -t affinity.pod-anti-affinity-labels="camel.apache.org/integration" ...

  • To co-locate the integration pod(s) with other integration pod(s): 

    $ kamel run -t affinity.pod-affinity-labels="camel.apache.org/integration in(it1, it2)" ...

The labels options follow the requirements from Label selectors. They can be multi-valuated, then the requirements list is ANDed, e.g., to schedule a single integration pod per node AND not co-located with the Camel K operator pod(s): 

$ kamel run -t affinity.pod-anti-affinity-labels="camel.apache.org/integration" -t affinity.pod-anti-affinity-labels="camel.apache.org/component=operator" ...

More information can be found in the official Kubernetes documentation about Assigning Pods to Nodes.

6.2.3. Cron Trait

The Cron trait can be used to customize the behaviour of periodic timer/cron based integrations.

While normally an integration requires a pod to be always up and running, some periodic tasks, such as batch jobs, require to be activated at specific hours of the day or with a periodic delay of minutes. For such tasks, the cron trait can materialize the integration as a Kubernetes CronJob instead of a standard deployment, in order to save resources when the integration does not need to be executed.

Integrations that start from the following components are evaluated by the cron trait: timer, cron, quartz.

The rules for using a Kubernetes CronJob are the following:

  • timer: when periods can be written as cron expressions. E.g. timer:tick?period=60000.
  • cron, quartz: when the cron expression does not contain seconds (or the "seconds" part is set to 0). E.g. cron:tab?schedule=0/2+*+*+*+? or quartz:trigger?cron=0+0/2+*+*+*+?.

This trait is available in the following profiles: Kubernetes, Knative, OpenShift.

6.2.3.1. Examples

The following route is materialized into a Kubernetes CronJob by the cron trait:

CronJob.java

import org.apache.camel.builder.RouteBuilder

public class CronJob extends RouteBuilder {

 @Override
 public void configure() throws Exception {
   // Setting the period e.g. to '1000' restores the default behavior
   from("timer:java?period=60000")
   .setBody()
     .simple("Hello World from Camel K in a CronJob")
   .to("log:info?showAll=false");

 }
}

6.2.3.2. Configuration

cron.auto

bool

Automatically deploy the integration as CronJob when all routes are either starting from a periodic consumer (only cron, timer and quartz are supported) or a passive consumer (e.g. direct is a passive consumer).
