1.19. Configuring Service Mesh for production

Procedure

1. Configure the Distributed Tracing Platform (Jaeger) for production.

   1. Edit the ServiceMeshControlPlane resource to use the production deployment strategy, by setting spec.addons.jaeger.install.storage.type to Elasticsearch and specify additional configuration options under install. You can create and configure your Jaeger instance and set spec.addons.jaeger.name to the name of the Jaeger instance.

      Default Jaeger parameters including Elasticsearch

      apiVersion: maistra.io/v2
      kind: ServiceMeshControlPlane
      metadata:
        name: basic
      spec:
        version: v2.5
        tracing:
          sampling: 100
          type: Jaeger
        addons:
          jaeger:
            name: MyJaeger
            install:
              storage:
                type: Elasticsearch
              ingress:
                enabled: true
        runtime:
          components:
            tracing.jaeger.elasticsearch: # only supports resources and image name
              container:
                resources: {}

   2. Configure the sampling rate for production. For more information, see the Performance and scalability section.
2. Ensure your security certificates are production ready by installing security certificates from an external certificate authority. For more information, see the Security section.

Verification

1. Enter the following command to verify that the ServiceMeshControlPlane resource updated properly. In this example, basic is the name of the ServiceMeshControlPlane resource.

   $ oc get smcp basic -o yaml
