Chapter 9. Object Bucket Claim

Procedure

1. Add the following lines to your application YAML:

   apiVersion: objectbucket.io/v1alpha1
   kind: ObjectBucketClaim
   metadata:
     name: <obc-name>
   spec:
     generateBucketName: <obc-bucket-name>
     storageClassName: openshift-storage.noobaa.io

   These lines are the OBC itself.

   1. Replace <obc-name> with the a unique OBC name.
   2. Replace <obc-bucket-name> with a unique bucket name for your OBC.

2. To automate the use of the OBC add more lines to the YAML file.

   For example:

   apiVersion: batch/v1
   kind: Job
   metadata:
     name: testjob
   spec:
     template:
       spec:
         restartPolicy: OnFailure
         containers:
           - image: <your application image>
             name: test
             env:
               - name: BUCKET_NAME
                 valueFrom:
                   configMapKeyRef:
                     name: <obc-name>
                     key: BUCKET_NAME
               - name: BUCKET_HOST
                 valueFrom:
                   configMapKeyRef:
                     name: <obc-name>
                     key: BUCKET_HOST
               - name: BUCKET_PORT
                 valueFrom:
                   configMapKeyRef:
                     name: <obc-name>
                     key: BUCKET_PORT
               - name: AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
                 valueFrom:
                   secretKeyRef:
                     name: <obc-name>
                     key: AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
               - name: AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
                 valueFrom:
                   secretKeyRef:
                     name: <obc-name>
                     key: AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY

   The example is the mapping between the bucket claim result, which is a configuration map with data and a secret with the credentials. This specific job claims the Object Bucket from NooBaa, which creates a bucket and an account.

   1. Replace all instances of <obc-name> with your OBC name.
   2. Replace <your application image> with your application image.

3. Apply the updated YAML file:

   # oc apply -f <yaml.file>

   Replace <yaml.file> with the name of your YAML file.

4. To view the new configuration map, run the following:

   # oc get cm <obc-name> -o yaml

   Replace obc-name with the name of your OBC.

   You can expect the following environment variables in the output:

   • BUCKET_HOST - Endpoint to use in the application.

   • BUCKET_PORT - The port available for the application.

     • The port is related to the BUCKET_HOST. For example, if the BUCKET_HOST is https://my.example.com, and the BUCKET_PORT is 443, the endpoint for the object service would be https://my.example.com:443.
   • BUCKET_NAME - Requested or generated bucket name.
   • AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID - Access key that is part of the credentials.
   • AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY - Secret access key that is part of the credentials.

Procedure

1. Use the command-line interface to generate the details of a new bucket and credentials.

   Run the following command:

   # noobaa obc create <obc-name> -n openshift-storage

   Replace <obc-name> with a unique OBC name, for example, myappobc.

   Additionally, you can use the --app-namespace option to specify the namespace where the OBC configuration map and secret will be created, for example, myapp-namespace.

   For example:

   INFO[0001] ✅ Created: ObjectBucketClaim "test21obc"

   The MCG command-line-interface has created the necessary configuration and has informed OpenShift about the new OBC.

2. Run the following command to view the OBC:

   # oc get obc -n openshift-storage

   For example:

   NAME        STORAGE-CLASS                 PHASE   AGE
   test21obc   openshift-storage.noobaa.io   Bound   38s

3. Run the following command to view the YAML file for the new OBC:

   # oc get obc test21obc -o yaml -n openshift-storage

   For example:

   apiVersion: objectbucket.io/v1alpha1
   kind: ObjectBucketClaim
   metadata:
     creationTimestamp: "2019-10-24T13:30:07Z"
     finalizers:
     - objectbucket.io/finalizer
     generation: 2
     labels:
       app: noobaa
       bucket-provisioner: openshift-storage.noobaa.io-obc
       noobaa-domain: openshift-storage.noobaa.io
     name: test21obc
     namespace: openshift-storage
     resourceVersion: "40756"
     selfLink: /apis/objectbucket.io/v1alpha1/namespaces/openshift-storage/objectbucketclaims/test21obc
     uid: 64f04cba-f662-11e9-bc3c-0295250841af
   spec:
     ObjectBucketName: obc-openshift-storage-test21obc
     bucketName: test21obc-933348a6-e267-4f82-82f1-e59bf4fe3bb4
     generateBucketName: test21obc
     storageClassName: openshift-storage.noobaa.io
   status:
     phase: Bound

4. Inside of your openshift-storage namespace, you can find the configuration map and the secret to use this OBC. The CM and the secret have the same name as the OBC.

   Run the following command to view the secret:

   # oc get -n openshift-storage secret test21obc -o yaml

   For example:

   apiVersion: v1
   data:
     AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID: c0M0R2xVanF3ODR3bHBkVW94cmY=
     AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: Wi9kcFluSWxHRzlWaFlzNk1hc0xma2JXcjM1MVhqa051SlBleXpmOQ==
   kind: Secret
   metadata:
     creationTimestamp: "2019-10-24T13:30:07Z"
     finalizers:
     - objectbucket.io/finalizer
     labels:
       app: noobaa
       bucket-provisioner: openshift-storage.noobaa.io-obc
       noobaa-domain: openshift-storage.noobaa.io
     name: test21obc
     namespace: openshift-storage
     ownerReferences:
     - apiVersion: objectbucket.io/v1alpha1
       blockOwnerDeletion: true
       controller: true
       kind: ObjectBucketClaim
       name: test21obc
       uid: 64f04cba-f662-11e9-bc3c-0295250841af
     resourceVersion: "40751"
     selfLink: /api/v1/namespaces/openshift-storage/secrets/test21obc
     uid: 65117c1c-f662-11e9-9094-0a5305de57bb
   type: Opaque

   The secret gives you the S3 access credentials.

5. Run the following command to view the configuration map:

   # oc get -n openshift-storage cm test21obc -o yaml

   For example:

   apiVersion: v1
   data:
     BUCKET_HOST: 10.0.171.35
     BUCKET_NAME: test21obc-933348a6-e267-4f82-82f1-e59bf4fe3bb4
     BUCKET_PORT: "31242"
     BUCKET_REGION: ""
     BUCKET_SUBREGION: ""
   kind: ConfigMap
   metadata:
     creationTimestamp: "2019-10-24T13:30:07Z"
     finalizers:
     - objectbucket.io/finalizer
     labels:
       app: noobaa
       bucket-provisioner: openshift-storage.noobaa.io-obc
       noobaa-domain: openshift-storage.noobaa.io
     name: test21obc
     namespace: openshift-storage
     ownerReferences:
     - apiVersion: objectbucket.io/v1alpha1
       blockOwnerDeletion: true
       controller: true
       kind: ObjectBucketClaim
       name: test21obc
       uid: 64f04cba-f662-11e9-bc3c-0295250841af
     resourceVersion: "40752"
     selfLink: /api/v1/namespaces/openshift-storage/configmaps/test21obc
     uid: 651c6501-f662-11e9-9094-0a5305de57bb

   The configuration map contains the S3 endpoint information for your application.

Procedure
