Chapter 3. Accessing ActiveMQ using Skupper
Use public cloud resources to process data from a private message broker
This example is part of a suite of examples showing the different ways you can use Skupper to connect services across cloud providers, data centers, and edge sites.
Overview
This example is a simple messaging application that shows how you can use Skupper to access an ActiveMQ broker at a remote site without exposing it to the public internet.
It contains two services:
- An ActiveMQ broker running in a private data center. The broker has a queue named "notifications".
- An AMQP client running in the public cloud. It sends 10 messages to "notifications" and then receives them back.
For the broker, this example uses the Apache ActiveMQ Artemis image from ArtemisCloud.io. The client is a simple Quarkus application.
The example uses two Kubernetes namespaces, "private" and "public", to represent the private data center and public cloud.
Prerequisites
-
The
kubectl
command-line tool, version 1.15 or later (installation guide) - Access to at least one Kubernetes cluster, from any provider you choose
Procedure
- Clone the repo for this example.
- Install the Skupper command-line tool
- Set up your namespaces
- Deploy the message broker
- Create your sites
- Link your sites
- Expose the message broker
- Clone the repo for this example. Navigate to the appropriate GitHub repository from https://skupper.io/examples/index.html and clone the repository.
Install the Skupper command-line tool
This example uses the Skupper command-line tool to deploy Skupper. You need to install the
skupper
command only once for each development environment.See the Installation for details about installing the CLI. For configured systems, use the following command:
sudo dnf install skupper-cli
Set up your namespaces
Skupper is designed for use with multiple Kubernetes namespaces, usually on different clusters. The
skupper
andkubectl
commands use your kubeconfig and current context to select the namespace where they operate.Your kubeconfig is stored in a file in your home directory. The
skupper
andkubectl
commands use theKUBECONFIG
environment variable to locate it.A single kubeconfig supports only one active context per user. Since you will be using multiple contexts at once in this exercise, you need to create distinct kubeconfigs.
For each namespace, open a new terminal window. In each terminal, set the
KUBECONFIG
environment variable to a different path and log in to your cluster. Then create the namespace you wish to use and set the namespace on your current context.NoteThe login procedure varies by provider. See the documentation for yours:
Public:
export KUBECONFIG=~/.kube/config-public # Enter your provider-specific login command kubectl create namespace public kubectl config set-context --current --namespace public
Private:
export KUBECONFIG=~/.kube/config-private # Enter your provider-specific login command kubectl create namespace private kubectl config set-context --current --namespace private
Deploy the message broker
In Private, use the
kubectl apply
command to install the broker.Private:
kubectl apply -f server
Sample output:
$ kubectl apply -f server deployment.apps/broker created
Create your sites
A Skupper site is a location where components of your application are running. Sites are linked together to form a network for your application. In Kubernetes, a site is associated with a namespace.
For each namespace, use
skupper init
to create a site. This deploys the Skupper router and controller. Then useskupper status
to see the outcome.Public:
skupper init skupper status
Sample output:
$ skupper init Waiting for LoadBalancer IP or hostname... Waiting for status... Skupper is now installed in namespace 'public'. Use 'skupper status' to get more information. $ skupper status Skupper is enabled for namespace "public". It is not connected to any other sites. It has no exposed services.
Private:
skupper init skupper status
Sample output:
$ skupper init Waiting for LoadBalancer IP or hostname... Waiting for status... Skupper is now installed in namespace 'private'. Use 'skupper status' to get more information. $ skupper status Skupper is enabled for namespace "private". It is not connected to any other sites. It has no exposed services.
As you move through the steps below, you can use
skupper status
at any time to check your progress.Link your sites
A Skupper link is a channel for communication between two sites. Links serve as a transport for application connections and requests.
Creating a link requires use of two
skupper
commands in conjunction,skupper token create
andskupper link create
.The
skupper token create
command generates a secret token that signifies permission to create a link. The token also carries the link details. Then, in a remote site, Theskupper link create
command uses the token to create a link to the site that generated it.NoteThe link token is truly a secret. Anyone who has the token can link to your site. Make sure that only those you trust have access to it.
First, use
skupper token create
in site Public to generate the token. Then, useskupper link create
in site Private to link the sites.Public:
skupper token create ~/secret.token
Sample output:
$ skupper token create ~/secret.token Token written to ~/secret.token
Private:
skupper link create ~/secret.token
Sample output:
$ skupper link create ~/secret.token Site configured to link to https://10.105.193.154:8081/ed9c37f6-d78a-11ec-a8c7-04421a4c5042 (name=link1) Check the status of the link using 'skupper link status'.
If your terminal sessions are on different machines, you may need to use
scp
or a similar tool to transfer the token securely. By default, tokens expire after a single use or 15 minutes after creation.Expose the message broker
In Private, use
skupper expose
to expose the broker on the Skupper network.Then, in Public, use
kubectl get service/broker
to check that the service appears after a moment.Private:
skupper expose deployment/broker --port 5672
Sample output:
$ skupper expose deployment/broker --port 5672 deployment broker exposed as broker
Public:
kubectl get service/broker
Sample output:
$ kubectl get service/broker NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE broker ClusterIP 10.100.58.95 <none> 5672/TCP 2s
Run the client
In Public, use
kubectl run
to run the client.Public:
kubectl run client --attach --rm --restart Never --image quay.io/skupper/activemq-example-client --env SERVER=broker
Sample output:
$ kubectl run client --attach --rm --restart Never --image quay.io/skupper/activemq-example-client --env SERVER=broker ____ __ _____ ___ __ ____ ____ --/ __ \/ / / / _ | / _ \/ //_/ / / / / -/ /_/ / /_/ / __ |/ , / ,< / // /\ \ --\___\_\____/_/ |_/_/|_/_/|_|\____/_/ 2022-05-27 11:19:07,149 INFO [io.sma.rea.mes.amqp] (main) SRMSG16201: AMQP broker configured to broker:5672 for channel incoming-messages 2022-05-27 11:19:07,170 INFO [io.sma.rea.mes.amqp] (main) SRMSG16201: AMQP broker configured to broker:5672 for channel outgoing-messages 2022-05-27 11:19:07,198 INFO [io.sma.rea.mes.amqp] (main) SRMSG16212: Establishing connection with AMQP broker 2022-05-27 11:19:07,212 INFO [io.sma.rea.mes.amqp] (main) SRMSG16212: Establishing connection with AMQP broker 2022-05-27 11:19:07,215 INFO [io.quarkus] (main) client 1.0.0-SNAPSHOT on JVM (powered by Quarkus 2.9.2.Final) started in 0.397s. 2022-05-27 11:19:07,215 INFO [io.quarkus] (main) Profile prod activated. 2022-05-27 11:19:07,215 INFO [io.quarkus] (main) Installed features: [cdi, smallrye-context-propagation, smallrye-reactive-messaging, smallrye-reactive-messaging-amqp, vertx] Sent message 1 Sent message 2 Sent message 3 Sent message 4 Sent message 5 Sent message 6 Sent message 7 Sent message 8 Sent message 9 Sent message 10 2022-05-27 11:19:07,434 INFO [io.sma.rea.mes.amqp] (vert.x-eventloop-thread-0) SRMSG16213: Connection with AMQP broker established 2022-05-27 11:19:07,442 INFO [io.sma.rea.mes.amqp] (vert.x-eventloop-thread-0) SRMSG16213: Connection with AMQP broker established 2022-05-27 11:19:07,468 INFO [io.sma.rea.mes.amqp] (vert.x-eventloop-thread-0) SRMSG16203: AMQP Receiver listening address notifications Received message 1 Received message 2 Received message 3 Received message 4 Received message 5 Received message 6 Received message 7 Received message 8 Received message 9 Received message 10 Result: OK
