Chapter 5. Develop

Procedure

1. In offline mode, create a local Knative service descriptor file:

   $ kn service create event-display \
       --image quay.io/openshift-knative/knative-eventing-sources-event-display:latest \
       --target ./ \
       --namespace test

   Example output

   Service 'event-display' created in namespace 'test'.

   • The

     --target ./

     flag enables offline mode and specifies

     ./

     as the directory for storing the new directory tree.

     If you do not specify an existing directory, but use a filename, such as

     --target my-service.yaml

     , then no directory tree is created. Instead, only the service descriptor file

     my-service.yaml

     is created in the current directory.

     The filename can have the

     .yaml

     ,

     .yml

     , or

     .json

     extension. Choosing

     .json

     creates the service descriptor file in the JSON format.

   • The

     --namespace test

     option places the new service in the

     test

     namespace.

     If you do not use

     --namespace

     , and you are logged in to an OpenShift Container Platform cluster, the descriptor file is created in the current namespace. Otherwise, the descriptor file is created in the

     default

     namespace.

2. Examine the created directory structure:

   $ tree ./

   Example output

   ./
   └── test
       └── ksvc
           └── event-display.yaml
   
   2 directories, 1 file

   • The current

     ./

     directory specified with

     --target

     contains the new

     test/

     directory that is named after the specified namespace.
   • The

     test/

     directory contains the

     ksvc

     directory, named after the resource type.
   • The

     ksvc

     directory contains the descriptor file

     event-display.yaml

     , named according to the specified service name.

3. Examine the generated service descriptor file:

   $ cat test/ksvc/event-display.yaml

   Example output

   apiVersion: serving.knative.dev/v1
   kind: Service
   metadata:
     creationTimestamp: null
     name: event-display
     namespace: test
   spec:
     template:
       metadata:
         annotations:
           client.knative.dev/user-image: quay.io/openshift-knative/knative-eventing-sources-event-display:latest
         creationTimestamp: null
       spec:
         containers:
         - image: quay.io/openshift-knative/knative-eventing-sources-event-display:latest
           name: ""
           resources: {}
   status: {}

4. List information about the new service:

   $ kn service describe event-display --target ./ --namespace test

   Example output

   Name:       event-display
   Namespace:  test
   Age:
   URL:
   
   Revisions:
   
   Conditions:
     OK TYPE    AGE REASON

   • The

     --target ./

     option specifies the root directory for the directory structure containing namespace subdirectories.

     Alternatively, you can directly specify a YAML or JSON filename with the

     --target

     option. The accepted file extensions are

     .yaml

     ,

     .yml

     , and

     .json

     .

   • The

     --namespace

     option specifies the namespace, which communicates to

     kn

     the subdirectory that contains the necessary service descriptor file.

     If you do not use

     --namespace

     , and you are logged in to an OpenShift Container Platform cluster,

     kn

     searches for the service in the subdirectory that is named after the current namespace. Otherwise,

     kn

     searches in the

     default/

     subdirectory.

5. Use the service descriptor file to create the service on the cluster:

   $ kn service create -f test/ksvc/event-display.yaml

   Example output

   Creating service 'event-display' in namespace 'test':
   
     0.058s The Route is still working to reflect the latest desired specification.
     0.098s ...
     0.168s Configuration "event-display" is waiting for a Revision to become ready.
    23.377s ...
    23.419s Ingress has not yet been reconciled.
    23.534s Waiting for load balancer to be ready
    23.723s Ready to serve.
   
   Service 'event-display' created to latest revision 'event-display-00001' is available at URL:
   http://event-display-test.apps.example.com

Procedure

1. Create a YAML file containing the following sample code:

   apiVersion: serving.knative.dev/v1
   kind: Service
   metadata:
     name: event-delivery
     namespace: default
   spec:
     template:
       spec:
         containers:
           - image: quay.io/openshift-knative/knative-eventing-sources-event-display:latest
             env:
               - name: RESPONSE
                 value: "Hello Serverless!"

2. Navigate to the directory where the YAML file is contained, and deploy the application by applying the YAML file:

   $ oc apply -f <filename>

Procedure

1. Find the application URL:

   $ oc get ksvc <service_name>

   Example output

   NAME            URL                                        LATESTCREATED         LATESTREADY           READY   REASON
   event-delivery   http://event-delivery-default.example.com   event-delivery-4wsd2   event-delivery-4wsd2   True

2. Make a request to your cluster and observe the output.

   Example HTTP request

   $ curl http://event-delivery-default.example.com

   Example HTTPS request

   $ curl https://event-delivery-default.example.com

   Example output

   Hello Serverless!

3. Optional. If you receive an error relating to a self-signed certificate in the certificate chain, you can add the

   --insecure

   flag to the curl command to ignore the error:

   $ curl https://event-delivery-default.example.com --insecure

   Example output

   Hello Serverless!

   Important

   Self-signed certificates must not be used in a production deployment. This method is only for testing purposes.

4. Optional. If your OpenShift Container Platform cluster is configured with a certificate that is signed by a certificate authority (CA) but not yet globally configured for your system, you can specify this with the

   curl

   command. The path to the certificate can be passed to the curl command by using the

   --cacert

   flag:

   $ curl https://event-delivery-default.example.com --cacert <file>

   Example output

   Hello Serverless!

Procedure

1. Find the application host. See the instructions in Verifying your serverless application deployment.

2. Find the ingress gateway’s public address:

   $ oc -n knative-serving-ingress get svc kourier

   Example output

   NAME                   TYPE           CLUSTER-IP      EXTERNAL-IP                                                             PORT(S)                                                                                                                                      AGE
   kourier   LoadBalancer   172.30.51.103   a83e86291bcdd11e993af02b7a65e514-33544245.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com   80:31380/TCP,443:31390/TCP   67m

   The public address is surfaced in the

   EXTERNAL-IP

   field, and in this case is

   a83e86291bcdd11e993af02b7a65e514-33544245.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com

   .

3. Manually set the host header of your HTTP request to the application’s host, but direct the request itself against the public address of the ingress gateway.

   $ curl -H "Host: hello-default.example.com" a83e86291bcdd11e993af02b7a65e514-33544245.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com

   Example output

   Hello Serverless!

   You can also make a gRPC request by setting the authority to the application’s host, while directing the request against the ingress gateway directly:

   grpc.Dial(
       "a83e86291bcdd11e993af02b7a65e514-33544245.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com:80",
       grpc.WithAuthority("hello-default.example.com:80"),
       grpc.WithInsecure(),
   )

   Note

   Ensure that you append the respective port, 80 by default, to both hosts as shown in the previous example.

Procedure

1. Add the

   knative.openshift.io/system-namespace=true

   label to each Knative system namespace that requires access to your application:

   1. Label the

      knative-serving

      namespace:

      $ oc label namespace knative-serving knative.openshift.io/system-namespace=true

   2. Label the

      knative-serving-ingress

      namespace:

      $ oc label namespace knative-serving-ingress knative.openshift.io/system-namespace=true

   3. Label the

      knative-eventing

      namespace:

      $ oc label namespace knative-eventing knative.openshift.io/system-namespace=true

   4. Label the

      knative-kafka

      namespace:

      $ oc label namespace knative-kafka knative.openshift.io/system-namespace=true

2. Create a

   NetworkPolicy

   object in your application namespace to allow access from namespaces with the

   knative.openshift.io/system-namespace

   label:

   Example NetworkPolicy object

   apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
   kind: NetworkPolicy
   metadata:
     name: <network_policy_name> 

   1

   
     namespace: <namespace> 

   2

   
   spec:
     ingress:
     - from:
       - namespaceSelector:
           matchLabels:
             knative.openshift.io/system-namespace: "true"
     podSelector: {}
     policyTypes:
     - Ingress

   1

   Provide a name for your network policy.

   2

   The namespace where your application exists.

1. Click the Knative service to see its overview in the side panel.

2. Click the Resources tab, to see a list of Revisions and Routes for the service.

   Figure 5.1. Serverless application

   
3. Click the service, indicated by the S icon at the top of the side panel, to see an overview of the service details.
4. Click the YAML tab and modify the service configuration in the YAML editor, and click Save. For example, change the

   timeoutseconds

   from 300 to 301 . This change in the configuration triggers a new revision. In the Topology view, the latest revision is displayed and the Resources tab for the service now displays the two revisions.

5. In the Resources tab, click Set Traffic Distribution to see the traffic distribution dialog box:

   1. Add the split traffic percentage portion for the two revisions in the Splits field.
   2. Add tags to create custom URLs for the two revisions.

   3. Click Save to see two nodes representing the two revisions in the Topology view.

      Figure 5.2. Serverless application revisions

      

Procedure

1. Create and deploy an app as a Knative service.

2. Find the name of the first revision that was created when you deployed the service, by viewing the output from the following command:

   $ oc get ksvc <service_name> -o=jsonpath='{.status.latestCreatedRevisionName}'

   Example command

   $ oc get ksvc example-service -o=jsonpath='{.status.latestCreatedRevisionName}'

   Example output

   $ example-service-00001

3. Add the following YAML to the service

   spec

   to send inbound traffic to the revision:

   ...
   spec:
     traffic:
       - revisionName: <first_revision_name>
         percent: 100 # All traffic goes to this revision
   ...

4. Verify that you can view your app at the URL output you get from running the following command:

   $ oc get ksvc <service_name>

5. Deploy a second revision of your app by modifying at least one field in the

   template

   spec of the service and redeploying it. For example, you can modify the

   image

   of the service, or an

   env

   environment variable. You can redeploy the service by applying the service YAML file, or by using the

   kn service update

   command if you have installed the Knative (

   kn

   ) CLI.

6. Find the name of the second, latest revision that was created when you redeployed the service, by running the command:

   $ oc get ksvc <service_name> -o=jsonpath='{.status.latestCreatedRevisionName}'

   At this point, both the first and second revisions of the service are deployed and running.

7. Update your existing service to create a new, test endpoint for the second revision, while still sending all other traffic to the first revision:

   Example of updated service spec with test endpoint

   ...
   spec:
     traffic:
       - revisionName: <first_revision_name>
         percent: 100 # All traffic is still being routed to the first revision
       - revisionName: <second_revision_name>
         percent: 0 # No traffic is routed to the second revision
         tag: v2 # A named route
   ...

   After you redeploy this service by reapplying the YAML resource, the second revision of the app is now staged. No traffic is routed to the second revision at the main URL, and Knative creates a new service named

   v2

   for testing the newly deployed revision.

8. Get the URL of the new service for the second revision, by running the following command:

   $ oc get ksvc <service_name> --output jsonpath="{.status.traffic[*].url}"

   You can use this URL to validate that the new version of the app is behaving as expected before you route any traffic to it.

9. Update your existing service again, so that 50% of traffic is sent to the first revision, and 50% is sent to the second revision:

   Example of updated service spec splitting traffic 50/50 between revisions

   ...
   spec:
     traffic:
       - revisionName: <first_revision_name>
         percent: 50
       - revisionName: <second_revision_name>
         percent: 50
         tag: v2
   ...

10. When you are ready to route all traffic to the new version of the app, update the service again to send 100% of traffic to the second revision:

    Example of updated service spec sending all traffic to the second revision

    ...
    spec:
      traffic:
        - revisionName: <first_revision_name>
          percent: 0
        - revisionName: <second_revision_name>
          percent: 100
          tag: v2
    ...

    Tip

    You can remove the first revision instead of setting it to 0% of traffic if you do not plan to roll back the revision. Non-routeable revision objects are then garbage-collected.

11. Visit the URL of the first revision to verify that no more traffic is being sent to the old version of the app.

Procedure

1. Create a Knative service that contains the label or annotation that you want to propagate to the OpenShift Container Platform route:

   • To create a service by using YAML:

     Example service created by using YAML

     apiVersion: serving.knative.dev/v1
     kind: Service
     metadata:
       name: <service_name>
       labels:
         <label_name>: <label_value>
       annotations:
         <annotation_name>: <annotation_value>
     ...

   • To create a service by using the Knative (

     kn

     ) CLI, enter:

     Example service created by using a kn command

     $ kn service create <service_name> \
       --image=<image> \
       --annotation <annotation_name>=<annotation_value> \
       --label <label_value>=<label_value>

2. Verify that the OpenShift Container Platform route has been created with the annotation or label that you added by inspecting the output from the following command:

   Example command for verification

   $ oc get routes.route.openshift.io \
        -l serving.knative.openshift.io/ingressName=<service_name> \ 

   1

   
        -l serving.knative.openshift.io/ingressNamespace=<service_namespace> \ 

   2

   
        -n knative-serving-ingress -o yaml \
            | grep -e "<label_name>: \"<label_value>\""  -e "<annotation_name>: <annotation_value>" 

   3

   1

   Use the name of your service.

   2

   Use the namespace where your service was created.

   3

   Use your values for the label and annotation names and values.

Procedure

1. Create a Knative service that includes the

   serving.knative.openshift.io/disableRoute=true

   annotation:
   Important

   The

   serving.knative.openshift.io/disableRoute=true

   annotation instructs OpenShift Serverless to not automatically create a route for you. However, the service still shows a URL and reaches a status of

   Ready

   . This URL does not work externally until you create your own route with the same hostname as the hostname in the URL.

   1. Create a Knative

      Service

      resource:

      Example resource

      apiVersion: serving.knative.dev/v1
      kind: Service
      metadata:
        name: <service_name>
        annotations:
          serving.knative.openshift.io/disableRoute: "true"
      spec:
        template:
          spec:
            containers:
            - image: <image>
      ...

   2. Apply the

      Service

      resource:

      $ oc apply -f <filename>

   3. Optional. Create a Knative service by using the

      kn service create

      command:

      Example kn command

      $ kn service create <service_name> \
        --image=gcr.io/knative-samples/helloworld-go \
        --annotation serving.knative.openshift.io/disableRoute=true

2. Verify that no OpenShift Container Platform route has been created for the service:

   Example command

   $ $ oc get routes.route.openshift.io \
     -l serving.knative.openshift.io/ingressName=$KSERVICE_NAME \
     -l serving.knative.openshift.io/ingressNamespace=$KSERVICE_NAMESPACE \
     -n knative-serving-ingress

   You will see the following output:

   No resources found in knative-serving-ingress namespace.

3. Create a

   Route

   resource in the

   knative-serving-ingress

   namespace:

   apiVersion: route.openshift.io/v1
   kind: Route
   metadata:
     annotations:
       haproxy.router.openshift.io/timeout: 600s 

   1

   
     name: <route_name> 

   2

   
     namespace: knative-serving-ingress 

   3

   
   spec:
     host: <service_host> 

   4

   
     port:
       targetPort: http2
     to:
       kind: Service
       name: kourier
       weight: 100
     tls:
       insecureEdgeTerminationPolicy: Allow
       termination: edge 

   5

   
       key: |-
         -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
         [...]
         -----END PRIVATE KEY-----
       certificate: |-
         -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
         [...]
         -----END CERTIFICATE-----
       caCertificate: |-
         -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
         [...]
         -----END CERTIFICATE----
     wildcardPolicy: None

   1

   The timeout value for the OpenShift Container Platform route. You must set the same value as the max-revision-timeout-seconds setting (600s by default).

   2

   The name of the OpenShift Container Platform route.

   3

   The namespace for the OpenShift Container Platform route. This must be knative-serving-ingress.

   4

   The hostname for external access. You can set this to <service_name>-<service_namespace>.<domain>.

   5

   The certificates you want to use. Currently, only edge termination is supported.

4. Apply the

   Route

   resource:

   $ oc apply -f <filename>

Procedure

1. Create an event source of any type, by navigating to +Add Event Source and selecting the event source type that you want to create.
2. In the Sink section of the Create Event Source form view, select your sink in the Resource list.
3. Click Create.

1. In the Developer perspective, navigate to Topology.
2. View the event source and click the connected sink to see the sink details in the right panel.

Procedure

1. Create or modify a

   Trigger

   object and set the

   kafka.eventing.knative.dev/delivery.order

   annotation:

   apiVersion: eventing.knative.dev/v1
   kind: Trigger
   metadata:
     name: <trigger_name>
     annotations:
        kafka.eventing.knative.dev/delivery.order: ordered
   ...

   The supported consumer delivery guarantees are:

   unordered

   An unordered consumer is a non-blocking consumer that delivers messages unordered, while preserving proper offset management.

   ordered

   An ordered consumer is a per-partition blocking consumer that waits for a successful response from the CloudEvent subscriber before it delivers the next message of the partition.

   The default ordering guarantee is

   unordered

   .

2. Apply the

   Trigger

   object:

   $ oc apply -f <filename>

Procedure

1. List the available event source types in the terminal:

   $ kn source list-types

   Example output

   TYPE              NAME                                            DESCRIPTION
   ApiServerSource   apiserversources.sources.knative.dev            Watch and send Kubernetes API events to a sink
   PingSource        pingsources.sources.knative.dev                 Periodically send ping events to a sink
   SinkBinding       sinkbindings.sources.knative.dev                Binding for connecting a PodSpecable to a sink

2. Optional: You can also list the available event source types in YAML format:

   $ kn source list-types -o yaml

Procedure

1. Access the Developer perspective.
2. Click +Add.
3. Click Event Source.
4. View the available event source types.

Procedure

1. List the existing event sources in the terminal:

   $ kn source list

   Example output

   NAME   TYPE              RESOURCE                               SINK         READY
   a1     ApiServerSource   apiserversources.sources.knative.dev   ksvc:eshow2   True
   b1     SinkBinding       sinkbindings.sources.knative.dev       ksvc:eshow3   False
   p1     PingSource        pingsources.sources.knative.dev        ksvc:eshow1   True

2. Optional: You can list event sources of a specific type only, by using the

   --type

   flag:

   $ kn source list --type <event_source_type>

   Example command

   $ kn source list --type PingSource

   Example output

   NAME   TYPE              RESOURCE                               SINK         READY
   p1     PingSource        pingsources.sources.knative.dev        ksvc:eshow1   True

1. Create a service account, role, and role binding for the event source as a YAML file:

   apiVersion: v1
   kind: ServiceAccount
   metadata:
     name: events-sa
     namespace: default 

   1

   
   
   ---
   apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
   kind: Role

   1 2 3 4

   Change this namespace to the namespace that you have selected for installing the event source.

2. Apply the YAML file:

   $ oc apply -f <filename>

3. Create an API server source that has an event sink. In the following example, the sink is a broker:

   $ kn source apiserver create <event_source_name> --sink broker:<broker_name> --resource "event:v1" --service-account <service_account_name> --mode Resource

4. To check that the API server source is set up correctly, create a Knative service that dumps incoming messages to its log:

   $ kn service create <service_name> --image quay.io/openshift-knative/knative-eventing-sources-event-display:latest

5. If you used a broker as an event sink, create a trigger to filter events from the

   default

   broker to the service:

   $ kn trigger create <trigger_name> --sink ksvc:<service_name>

6. Create events by launching a pod in the default namespace:

   $ oc create deployment hello-node --image quay.io/openshift-knative/knative-eventing-sources-event-display:latest

7. Check that the controller is mapped correctly by inspecting the output generated by the following command:

   $ kn source apiserver describe <source_name>
