Snapshot Apply

We need a repeatable process that can take current database state and the current system state, use those to create a plan of action, then apply that plan to the current cluster.

The snapshot apply process in the control-server binary is that system.

  • Take a point in time snapshot of everything. (Prepare)
  • Feed that snapshot into functional code that generate desired system states. (Generate)
  • Apply any changes need to go from the current state to the desired state on all systems. (Apply)
  • Record the status for all desired state pieces (Report)
  • Broadcast the result of the overall attempt (Broadcast)

Prepare

  • We need a summary of everything in the database and everything in the current system state. For that we use the system state summarizer.
  • Then we need to create the target snapshots for the different systems. (KubeSnapshot and KeyCloakSnapshot)

Generation

  • For each target snapshot use the summarized system state with functional modules to generate the target system specifications.
  • Store each kube or keycloak target resource in the database (ResourcePath for kube)

Apply

  • Remove any target system configuration or resource that already match with what’s there. For kubernetes this is done via sha hmac KubeExt.Hashing
  • Update any matching resources are successfully applied
  • Push each of the kube resource targets to kubernetes via KubeExt.ApplyResource
  • Push each of the keycloak resource targets to keycloak.
  • Trigger any post apply operations needed for keycloak

Report

  • Record the per resource target results
  • Compute an overall result

Broadcast

  • Send the latest result via Phoenix pub sub and EventCenter
