14.2. OpenShift Virtualization cluster checkup framework


A checkup is an automated test workload that you can use to verify if a specific cluster functionality works as expected. The cluster checkup framework uses native Kubernetes resources to configure and run the checkup.

중요

The OpenShift Virtualization cluster checkup framework 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 Technology Preview Features Support Scope.

As a developer or cluster administrator, you can use predefined checkups to improve cluster maintainability, troubleshoot unexpected behavior, minimize errors, and save time. You can review the results of the checkup and share them with experts for further analysis. Vendors can write and publish checkups for features or services that they offer and verify that their customer environments are configured correctly.

14.2.1. Running predefined latency checkups

You can use a latency checkup to verify network connectivity and measure latency between two virtual machines (VMs) that are attached to a secondary network interface. The predefined latency checkup uses the ping utility.

중요

Before you run a latency checkup, you must first create a bridge interface on the cluster nodes to connect the VM’s secondary interface to any interface on the node. If you do not create a bridge interface, the VMs do not start and the job fails.

Running a predefined checkup in an existing namespace involves setting up a service account for the checkup, creating the Role and RoleBinding objects for the service account, enabling permissions for the checkup, and creating the input config map and the checkup job. You can run a checkup multiple times.

중요

You must always:

  • Verify that the checkup image is from a trustworthy source before applying it.
  • Review the checkup permissions before creating the Role and RoleBinding objects.

14.2.1.1. Running a latency checkup by using the web console

Run a latency checkup to verify network connectivity and measure the latency between two virtual machines attached to a secondary network interface.

Prerequisites

  • You must add a NetworkAttachmentDefinition to the namespace.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to Virtualization Checkups in the web console.
  2. Click the Network latency tab.
  3. Click Install permissions.
  4. Click Run checkup.
  5. Enter a name for the checkup in the Name field.
  6. Select a NetworkAttachmentDefinition from the drop-down menu.
  7. Optional: Set a duration for the latency sample in the Sample duration (seconds) field.
  8. Optional: Define a maximum latency time interval by enabling Set maximum desired latency (milliseconds) and defining the time interval.
  9. Optional: Target specific nodes by enabling Select nodes and specifying the Source node and Target node.
  10. Click Run.

Verification

  • To view the status of the latency checkup, go to the Checkups list on the Latency checkup tab. Click on the name of the checkup for more details.

14.2.1.2. Running a latency checkup by using the CLI

Verify that network latency between virtual machines on a secondary network meets your performance requirements.

Prerequisites

  • You installed the OpenShift CLI (oc).
  • The cluster has at least two worker nodes.
  • You configured a network attachment definition for a namespace.

Procedure

  1. Create a ServiceAccount, Role, and RoleBinding manifest for the latency checkup.

    Example role manifest file:

    ---
    apiVersion: v1
    kind: ServiceAccount
    metadata:
      name: vm-latency-checkup-sa
    ---
    apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
    kind: Role
    metadata:
      name: kubevirt-vm-latency-checker
    rules:
    - apiGroups: ["kubevirt.io"]
      resources: ["virtualmachineinstances"]
      verbs: ["get", "create", "delete"]
    - apiGroups: ["subresources.kubevirt.io"]
      resources: ["virtualmachineinstances/console"]
      verbs: ["get"]
    - apiGroups: ["k8s.cni.cncf.io"]
      resources: ["network-attachment-definitions"]
      verbs: ["get"]
    ---
    apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
    kind: RoleBinding
    metadata:
      name: kubevirt-vm-latency-checker
    subjects:
    - kind: ServiceAccount
      name: vm-latency-checkup-sa
    roleRef:
      kind: Role
      name: kubevirt-vm-latency-checker
      apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
    ---
    apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
    kind: Role
    metadata:
      name: kiagnose-configmap-access
    rules:
    - apiGroups: [ "" ]
      resources: [ "configmaps" ]
      verbs: ["get", "update"]
    ---
    apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
    kind: RoleBinding
    metadata:
      name: kiagnose-configmap-access
    subjects:
    - kind: ServiceAccount
      name: vm-latency-checkup-sa
    roleRef:
      kind: Role
      name: kiagnose-configmap-access
      apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
  2. Apply the ServiceAccount, Role, and RoleBinding manifest:

    $ oc apply -n <target_namespace> -f <latency_sa_roles_rolebinding>.yaml

    where:

    <target_namespace>
    Specifies the namespace where the checkup is to be run. This must be an existing namespace where the NetworkAttachmentDefinition object resides.
  3. Create a ConfigMap manifest that contains the input parameters for the checkup.

    Example input config map:

    apiVersion: v1
    kind: ConfigMap
    metadata:
      name: kubevirt-vm-latency-checkup-config
      labels:
        kiagnose/checkup-type: kubevirt-vm-latency
    data:
      spec.timeout: 5m
      spec.param.networkAttachmentDefinitionNamespace: <target_namespace>
      spec.param.networkAttachmentDefinitionName: "blue-network"
      spec.param.maxDesiredLatencyMilliseconds: "10"
      spec.param.sampleDurationSeconds: "5"
      spec.param.sourceNode: "worker1"
      spec.param.targetNode: "worker2"

    where:

    data.spec.param.networkAttachmentDefinitionName
    Specifies the name of the NetworkAttachmentDefinition object.
    data.spec.param.maxDesiredLatencyMilliseconds
    Optional: Specifies the maximum desired latency, in milliseconds, between the virtual machines. If the measured latency exceeds this value, the checkup fails.
    data.spec.param.sampleDurationSeconds
    Optional: Specifies the duration of the latency check, in seconds.
    data.spec.param.sourceNode
    Optional: When specified, latency is measured from this node to the target node. If the source node is specified, the spec.param.targetNode field cannot be empty.
    data.spec.param.targetNode
    Optional: When specified, latency is measured from the source node to this node.
  4. Apply the config map manifest in the target namespace:

    $ oc apply -n <target_namespace> -f <latency_config_map>.yaml
  5. Create a Job manifest to run the checkup.

    Example job manifest:

    apiVersion: batch/v1
    kind: Job
    metadata:
      name: kubevirt-vm-latency-checkup
      labels:
        kiagnose/checkup-type: kubevirt-vm-latency
    spec:
      backoffLimit: 0
      template:
        spec:
          serviceAccountName: vm-latency-checkup-sa
          restartPolicy: Never
          containers:
            - name: vm-latency-checkup
              image: registry.redhat.io/container-native-virtualization/vm-network-latency-checkup-rhel9:v4.20.0
              securityContext:
                allowPrivilegeEscalation: false
                capabilities:
                  drop: ["ALL"]
                runAsNonRoot: true
                seccompProfile:
                  type: "RuntimeDefault"
              env:
                - name: CONFIGMAP_NAMESPACE
                  value: <target_namespace>
                - name: CONFIGMAP_NAME
                  value: kubevirt-vm-latency-checkup-config
                - name: POD_UID
                  valueFrom:
                    fieldRef:
                      fieldPath: metadata.uid
  6. Apply the Job manifest:

    $ oc apply -n <target_namespace> -f <latency_job>.yaml
  7. Wait for the job to complete:

    $ oc wait job kubevirt-vm-latency-checkup -n <target_namespace> --for condition=complete --timeout 6m
  8. Review the results of the latency checkup by running the following command. If the maximum measured latency is greater than the value of the spec.param.maxDesiredLatencyMilliseconds attribute, the checkup fails and returns an error.

    $ oc get configmap kubevirt-vm-latency-checkup-config -n <target_namespace> -o yaml

    Example output config map (success):

    apiVersion: v1
    kind: ConfigMap
    metadata:
      name: kubevirt-vm-latency-checkup-config
      namespace: <target_namespace>
      labels:
        kiagnose/checkup-type: kubevirt-vm-latency
    data:
      spec.timeout: 5m
      spec.param.networkAttachmentDefinitionNamespace: <target_namespace>
      spec.param.networkAttachmentDefinitionName: "blue-network"
      spec.param.maxDesiredLatencyMilliseconds: "10"
      spec.param.sampleDurationSeconds: "5"
      spec.param.sourceNode: "worker1"
      spec.param.targetNode: "worker2"
      status.succeeded: "true"
      status.failureReason: ""
      status.completionTimestamp: "2022-01-01T09:00:00Z"
      status.startTimestamp: "2022-01-01T09:00:07Z"
      status.result.avgLatencyNanoSec: "177000"
      status.result.maxLatencyNanoSec: "244000"
      status.result.measurementDurationSec: "5"
      status.result.minLatencyNanoSec: "135000"
      status.result.sourceNode: "worker1"
      status.result.targetNode: "worker2"

    where:

    data.status.result.maxLatencyNanoSec
    Specifies the maximum measured latency in nanoseconds.
  9. Optional: To view the detailed job log in case of checkup failure, use the following command:

    $ oc logs job.batch/kubevirt-vm-latency-checkup -n <target_namespace>
  10. Delete the job and config map that you previously created by running the following commands:

    $ oc delete job -n <target_namespace> kubevirt-vm-latency-checkup
    $ oc delete config-map -n <target_namespace> kubevirt-vm-latency-checkup-config
  11. Optional: If you do not plan to run another checkup, delete the roles manifest:

    $ oc delete -f <latency_sa_roles_rolebinding>.yaml
