# Container Groups
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In a traditional AWX installation, jobs (ansible-playbook runs) are executed
|
||
|
|
either directly on a member of the cluster or on a pre-provisioned "isolated"
|
||
|
|
node.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The concept of a Container Group (working name) allows for job environments to
|
||
|
|
be provisioned on-demand as a Pod that exists only for the duration of the
|
||
|
|
playbook run. This is known as the ephemeral execution model and ensures a clean
|
||
|
|
environment for every job run.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In some cases it is desireable to have the execution environment be "always-on",
|
||
|
|
this is is done by manually creating an instance through the AWX API or UI.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Configuration
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A `ContainerGroup` is simply an `InstanceGroup` that has an associated Credential
|
||
|
|
that allows for connecting to an OpenShift or Kubernetes cluster.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To create a new type, add a new `ManagedCredentialType` to
|
||
|
|
`awx/main/models/credential/__init__.py` where `kind='kubernetes'`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Create Credential
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A `Credential` must be created where the associated `CredentialType` is one of:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- `openshift_username_password`
|
||
|
|
- `openshift_token`
|
||
|
|
- `kubernetes_bearer_token`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Create a Container Groupp
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Once this `Credential` has been associated with an `InstanceGroup`, the
|
||
|
|
`InstanceGroup.kubernetes` property will return `True`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### Pod Customization
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There will be a very simple default pod spec that lives in code.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A custom YAML document may be provided which will be merged on top of the
|
||
|
|
default pod spec.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This will allow the UI to implement whatever fields necessary, because
|
||
|
|
any custom fields (think 'image' or 'namespace') can be "serialized" as valid
|
||
|
|
`Pod` JSON or YAML. A full list of options can be found in the Kubernetes
|
||
|
|
documentation
|
||
|
|
[here](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/generated/kubernetes-api/v1.15/#pod-v1-core).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
cat > api_request.json <<EOF
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
"pod_spec_override": "spec:\n containers:\n - image: my-custom-image"
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
EOF

|
